This powerful contingent will take part in the Junior Olympic provincial meet which will be the feature attraction on the open- ing day of Canada Pacific Exhi- bition at Hastings Park, the pre- liminary heats of which will be run off on August 27. Head Coach Charlie Stewart reports that this squad has been working out regularly three and four nights 0 week at Mahon Park on the quarter-mile oval. Besides the male members of the club, there is a girls'eam of about thirty members which re- ceives coaching two nights 0 week. Of the North Shore squad, Cy Stevenson is a most outstanding member. He has been breaking the broad and high jump stand- ards by a large margin and is s speedy sprinter. Terry Bowman is an able team mate for Steven- son and has ensured his place on the team by bettering the marks in the high and broad jumps, as well as the 100 yards sprint. Don Fleming is another jumper who is expected to show well in the provincial meet. ifilscAulay and Weldy are re- garded as certainties in the m!le and the half-mile, while Burrows snd Masterman are expected to produce something of 0 sensa- tion in the pole-vault when the test comes. Watson and llamp- ton are quarter-milers of better than average ability and Coach Stewart looks to these boys to improve before they take thc'r marks at Hastings Park in com- petition with the best quarter- milers the province has to offer. Jock hfurray and McDonald will go after the weight events. Both specialize in the shot-put, discus and javelin and are battl- ing neck-and-neck for club sup- eriority. J. Watt will team with Cy Stevenson in the century and the broad jump The Three Canyon Junior Olympic Club, since its forma- tion a month sgo, has raised funds by local subscription and fifty cent membership fees with which to buy a full supply of track and field equipment which includes such important items as vaulting poles, jumping stand- ards, shot, hammer, discus snd javelin. Mahon Park has been utilized more fully this season than ever before and its quarter- mile oval hss been in service every day. Cinders are smoothed and packed before every work- out and Coach Stewart snd Pres- ident Jack Wardlsw sre well sat- isfied with results. A jumping pit has just been completed and filled with sand. A Pending Improvement A woman in the suburbs was chatting with her next door neighbor. "We'e going to live in a better neighborhood soon," she said. "So are we," volunteered the other. "What?" Are you moving too?" »Oh no, we are staying here." B. C. TO REDUCE RELIEF COSTS Further drastic reductions in British Columbia'0 unemploy- ment relief costs were ordered by the government last Monday as Premier Tolmie continued to press the Federal Government for a definite unemployment 0- greement. Under 0 program outlined Monday morning many men now in government road camps who can maintain themselves, st least during the summer, will be eliminated. It is expected that only 2,000 men will be kept at work for the present, but a num- ber not able to do heavy work will be maintained without work- ing and without pay. At pres- ent some 4,000 men are at work. At the same time Hon. R. W. Bruhn, minister of public works, gave out a statement outlining the policy of the government which has been widely misunder- stood and misrepresented. "It has been reported in some quarters that the province is undertaking large road projects at this time of financial string- ency," Mr. Bruhn said. "This is absolutely untrue. The fact, though many do not seem to realize it, is that we are actually doing no new road work what- ever out of capital borrowings at the present time. The only work we are doing out of capital is on a few bridges which must be renewed if the roads sre to be kept open. This has been our policy all year so that, as a re- sult, the 8400,000 voted for cap- ital road work at the last session of the Legislature is still un- spent. "The only road work being done in the province today is through unemployment relief, under which men are given their board and 87.50 0 month. The wisdom of this policy, I believe, has been apparent, for in return for our expenditure we have se- cured much excellent and neces- sary work. It is true that we laid down a program of new road con- struction before we started this work and the wisdom of that too, is obvious. "We wanted to concentrate all our work so that it woukl be permanently useful, so that it would be building towards the highway system of the future, instead of being dissipated here and there on temporary improve- ments. We have built 18,000 miles of road in British Colum- bia, and yet we haven't got a direct through road to the prair- ies. That, illustrates the neces- sity of planning ahead. All our present work will be useful when the time comes when we are able to go ahead with large road pro- jects. At the moment we are working on no new roads except the Hope-Princeton highway, where we have done some work simply because it ol?ered special- ly convenient opportunity to provide unemployment relief. We are not even working on the Big Bend highway, though if suit- able arrangements can be made with the Federal Government we !nay be abk to go ahead there shortly by transferring some of the unemployed men whose work is finished elsewhere. "Meanwhile we are cutting down the numbers of our camps because of the need of further economy."

THE WEST VAN NEWS GUARD FISH STREASIS AGAINST I'OI.I.UTION Dominion Fisheries Inspectors on Watch to Prevent Injury to Country's Fish Life Sawdust has its place, but not in streams frequented by fish, and part of the work of fisherie inspectors under the Dominion Department of Fisheries is to see to it that such waters in their respective territories are not polluted with mill refuse or other substances injurious to Ash life. But how does sawdust, fur in- stance, do harm to fis life? It has evil effect in two ways: By covering spawning beds it pre- vents the hatching of live fish from the eggs and, in the second place, it kills live fish by getting into their gills or breathing ap- paratus. Other kinds of waste- for instance, seepage from cer- tain classes of industrial plants --sre also injurious to Ash life. It is because of these injurious consequences upon natural re- sources which it is so important to conserve that the Department of Fisheries requires that its of- ficers in areas where the Asher- ies are under federal administra- tion shall make careful inspec- tion of mills, etc., along streams frequented by fish and check any operators who msy thought- lessly be allowing sawdust or other refuse to fall into the wat- er. Steps of this kind are of importance from the standpoint of fisheries conservation, and conservation is essential in the interests of commercial fisher- men and anglers alike. In most cases where refuse from an industrial establishment is reaching 0 fish stream the con- dition is willingly and promptly remedied by the operator when the fisheries inspector draws it to his attention. If this does not happen, however, prosecutions may be instituted under the Fisheries Act which provides that "no person shall cause or knowingly permit to pass into, or put or knowingly permit to be put, lime, chemical substances or drugs, poisonous matter, dead or decaying fish, or remnants thereof, mill rubbish or sawdust or any other deleterious sub- stance or thing, whether the same is of a like character to the substances named in this section or not, in any water fre- quented by fish." Chicken Pie Have a chicken of about 4 lbs. Remove all the fat, cut up and put into boiling water. Add a little pepper snd salt to season. Cook until the meat can be pick- ed from the bones quite easily. Skim out the water, pick into small pieces and remove all the bones. There should be left a- bout 8 cups of liquid for gravy. Leave this in the kettle and add flour enough to make a thick gravy. Add about I tablespoon of butter or more if required very rich. Pour over chicken and let cool.

Ivlth the excep- tion of 0 relatively small ares be- tween Prince George and Smith- ers, the province so far this year may be said to have hsd no forest lire season. At a time when the province has no ap- propriations for Are fighting this condition has been 0 god-send tn the financ department which otherwise would have hsd to psy the cost of coping with Are out- breaks by special warrants snd capital expenditures. There may be damage yet, however, if Aug- ust is dry, but only extraordin- ary conditions could make the year's cost of Are fighting snd loss in timber serious. Particu- larly remarkable is the absence of fir in the southern interior where lightning usually has caused hundreds of outbreaks by this time of year. Total fires re- corded this year are 540 as 0- gainst 1255 st this time a year ago. JUI.Y RAliNFAI.I, IS SHORT Ol'ECORD July of this year has almost achieved the record of the wet- test in Vancouver's history, with a rainfall of 4.88 inches, states Mr. E. B. Shearman, head of the Dominion Meteorological Bureau This is slightly below the July record established in 1916, when 6.25 inches--0 figure unsurpas- sed since precipitation was Arst recorded here, more than a quar- ter of a century ago. The next highest until this summer was in July, 1909, when 2.45 inches was recorded. The average rainfall for July is 1.04 inches, approximately one-quar- ter of what fell this month.
