THE LEADER -POST. REGINA, 900 DRAUGHTY: This fourfoot -high stein has a built-in sobriety quotient its 40 pounds are much too heavy to lift many times. Cathy and Eddie Chrusciel are dwarfed by the $200 import, which is on display at Holyoke, Mass, RURAL ROUTE By Harold Longman "This is livin'," quoth the red-nosed one from the cover of a barley swath Saturday, "Yeah," replied the portly one from a clump of nearby reeds.

"Ha, ha," chortled a big fat mallard as he dived with derring-do and settled nonchalantly on a slough. Too tired to raise our gun barrel and shivering too much to aim it if we had, we just sat and contemplated the three of them. "Fella said there would be clouds of ducks here by four," said the swath, a note of hope rising in the voice. "Yeah," replied the reeds in fainter tone. There was a derisive quack from the slough.

"Great day for it," said the swath as a figure arose and straw dropped from its shaking shoulders. The nose was redder than when it disappeared beneath the swath. "Nothing like a day in the open," said the reeds as a well-upholstered but creaking figure arose. "Can't miss with the 16-gauge today," said the smaller of the two, hunched against the frigid breeze, As he spoke a foot prodded the carcass of a tiny pintail. "Ducks," shouted the portly one, rudely interrupting the one of the rosy proboscis.

Sun glinted on wings overhead and like a restless finger the 16-gauge probed the sky, sighting, tracking. Crash went the gun, "Ha, ha," croaked the mallard. said the other. "You were saying?" we said. Silence settled over the scene.

"Ducks!" shouted the portly one, eyes strained at the heavens. On they came as all hunched low and with wings set began to glide toward the decoys on the hill. we yelled as we sat on a thistle, As we sat down again there was silence thick as butter, except for the faint creaking of wings far away. "Oh, well, they will be back," said the swath. "They will be back, won't they? Tell me they will be back." And the swath began 'to move with agitation and there was rising hysteria in the voice.

"Chomp, chomp, chomp," said the reeds as walnut chips flew skyward. "Not a cloud in the sky," we observed as the last thorn was removed. "Beautiful sunset," said the reeds. Time passed and darkness fell. "Might as well go home," we said.

The car was warm, the silence heavy, and then a paper rustled. "Someone sat on the sandwiches," croaked a tired voice from the rear. "Ouch!" we said again as the portly one swerved the car to miss a skunk and hot coffee filled our lap. "Oh, well," observed the voice from the rear, "it is a great sport, and the meat is cheap." "Yeah," said the portly one. "Just think-only a dollar per pound." More personnel added to city police force SWIFT CURRENT (Staff) Due to the expansion of Swift Current the city police force has been increased to 13 men this year.

Police chief is Roy Hart, there are two patrol sergeants, and 10 police constables. Three recently appointed constables are going through beat training, and will be attending St. John ambulance courses. Because the force was below strength and the 40 hour week was coming into effect time and one half was paid for eight hours duty. This, finance chairman Bradbrooke said is the reason why the increased salary estimated for 1956 will be out of line.

However, the overtime pay will cease as the new constables will soon be familiar with the beats and will work alone. A motorcycle patrolman has done much to aid traffic control this year, council feels, and the city has received a great many compliments from tourists for the courtesy of the police force. Two way radio added to the police force this year has also aided greatly in police work, and has proven a great assistance in cases of accidents where police were able to summon medical, fire department, and ambulance aid directly from the scene, while they continued their work. They contacted the main office giving details which were relayed te the other sources 1 .10 arrived on the scene of accidents within a minimum of time.

(Copyright, 1956, General Features Corp.) TUESDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1956 Property sales, permits climb at Swift Current SWIFT CURRENT (Staff) increase in property sales for the first nine months of 1956, amounting to $15,000 over last year was reported by finance chairman, Ald. C. W. H. Bradbrooke, here recently, Property sales to the end of September, 1955 amounted to 179.

This year the figure has ed to $113,035. Building permits are also up this year, Ald. Bradbrooke reported. There were 191 permits issued up to the end of September, 1955 a total value of $1,221,490. This year in the same period 233 permits have been issued the total value being $2,042,679.

Showing an increase in the building values of approximately $800,000 over last year. During the month of September alone in 1956 33 permits were issued for a total value of $220,600. BREAKDOWN A breakdown of permits shows that new permits consisted of 150 for commercial. $155,450 for residential, and $4,000 for institutional. Alternations and repairs for the month amounted to $6,000.

Ald. Bradbrooke said that while Aug. 31 is the date of the city auditor's interim statement, the auditors have used their formula two thirds of the year's levy. This, the finance chairman said, is not an accurate statement of financial standing. A deficit now showing of $38,000 at the year's end may well be turned into a surplus, he said.

Ald. Bradbrooke based his statement on the fact that in this period of the year the city has its haviest spending period, and from now until the end of the year the spending decreases. The city's levy for 1956 is approximately $645,000, Ald. Bradbrooke said as compared to 000 for 1955, Last year 61.2 per cent of the current levy was col- No blame attached WEYPURN -A coroner's jury probing the death of Harold Walter Johnson, 73, a a a a a a a a a a parole patient of the Saskatchewan Hospital who died Oct. 1 of injuries received when struck by a car, Friday night returned a verdict of accidental death.

Mr. Johnson was struck by a car driven by Frank Milleker, Weyburn, about 6.25 p.m. Sept. 30, about miles southeast of the city on highway No. 39, while walking towards Weyburn, pushing a bicycle.

Mr. Milleker swerved his car in an effort to avoid the pedestrian and ended up in a ditch. The patient was taken to the Saskatchewan Hospital where he died at 12.45 a.m. The jury found that there was no neglect or intent on the part of the driver of the car. Dr.

F. C. Eaglesham, Weyburn, was coroner. lected. So far this year of 58.2 per cent of the 1956 levy has been collected.

In the current levy Swift Current's borrowing power is approximately $1,700,000. Although debt of $608,000 outstanding, and on newly acquired debt of $125,000 for the addition to the Swift Current collegiate, the borrowing power of the city is barely affected, Bradbrooke claimed. Ald. Bradbrooke says thing that directly affects the city, borrowing power is the municipal debt of approximately $278,000, which is part of the $608,000 referred to earlier. This leaves the net borrowing power of the city at approximately $1,400,000.

Additional liabilities have not been incurred by the city, in the past year, Ald, Bradbrooke points out. Bradbrooke claims that while the mill rate for 1953 was 67 mills, 33 of the 67 mills were devoted to educational purposes. This year, with a mill rate of 75 mills, 41 mills of the total go toward education, and 34 mills are left for general revenue. Sask. MP guest speaker in U.S.

30. Unit buys building NIPAWIN (Special) The Nipawin larger school unit, No. 61, has completed negotiations to buy the building and property which formerly housed Master Motors and have become owners of the property. Price paid for the property is believed to have been in the neighborhood of $15,500. Work will begin shortly on the building to remodel it into offices for the various departments of the unit, Spokesmen for the unit say that the property will lend itself admirably to requirements.

It house several buses, used in trans. porting children to and from school in Nipawin, and has a considerable amount of equipment, inincluding gas pumps and tanks for refueling. The building is of frame and stucco construction, with a full basement under the office section and with hot water heating system. The office section was formerly a house and when the property was purchased by Bender and Bradshaw in 1949 the main garage was added. The property is located on First Avenue south, half a block from Main street.

It is expected the unit will move from its present location the second storey of the Lockwood building early in the new year. SWIFT CURRENT (Staff) Swift Current's housing situation is looking up, according to city welfare chairman, Ald. Leslie Baker, Within the last two years the city has introduced a bylaw authorizing loans to citizens to modernize their homes, the loan to be paid back over A period of years. Letters were sent out to those concerned, and the building inspector, and senior sanitary officer interview applicants for the loans, To date, 38 homes have installed sewer and water since the financial aid 1 was made available, and many more will be completed in the future. The loans have greatly assisted a number families to enjoy more comfortable living conditions.

The city has clamped down on substandard houses, and thirty such dwellings that were declared unfit for occuption, due to health, fire, or building regulations have been either demolished, or removed, making that number of lots available for modern housing. STRICT LAW The day of basement suites is nearing a close too, according to Ald. Baker, who says that it is now a must to receive a building permit from the engineer's office before a basement suite is constructed. Special attention to window space, height of ceilings, and the distance below ground, as laid down in the Building code of Canada are now necessary. A new land-filled system of bage disposal has been introduced and individuals who truck out their own garbage must take it in closed containers.

or where an open truck or trailer is used to haul garbage, it is a requirement of the city that these vehicles be covered with tarpaulins, There are 78 residents in the city presently receiving social aidTwenty years ago 1,680 persons out of a population of 5,000 at that time were social aid recipients. The population today is 11,000. The August figures for social aid in the city showed a gross of 532.17. Of this amount the city's share is: $342, which is a good indication that social aid is not serious problem, Ald. Baker said.
