Hollyburn P,O., H. B. GARLAND, Secretary, Board of School Trustees LONG DISTANCE IMPROVE- BIENTS FOR KOOTENAYS AND ISLAiVD A faster telephone serviec with improved transmission is now provided between the coast and Kootenay points as the re- sult of a direct Nelson-Vancou- ver circuit. The new circuit fol- lows the route of a trans-Consda telephone line. A singleahannel carrier cir- cuit--a method of providing ad- ditional voice routes by the use of a different frequency, similar to the use of ddferent wave lengths in radio--is used on the Vancouver - Nelson line from Princeton to Nelson. This is the first use of carrier in the B. C. Telephone Company's system. The new coast-Kootenay ser- vice is available for points as far west as Trail and Roseland, and for East Kaotensy points such as Cranbrook, Creston, Kimberley and Fernie. The switching of calls at Princeton and Grand Forks is eliminated. A new direct line from Nelson to Colville, Washington, elimin- ates the netxl of switching st Rossland in handling calls from the Kootensys to certain United States points. Improvements to the long-dis- tance telephone system on Van- couver Island give Victoria dir- ect tekphone circuits to Chem- ainus, Courtenay, Cumberland and Port Alberni. Two new "re- peaters" (amplifying devices) at Nanaimo make possible the Port Alberni, Courtenay and Cumber- hand service. The direct circuits eliminate the switching of calls at other points and make avail- abble a faster service with bet- ter transmission. A new repeater has been in- stalkd at Port Alberni to give improved transmission between the B. C. Telephone Company's system and points on the two Government lines out of Port Alberni, terminating st Tofino and Port Renfrew. Menzies Bay, logging centre about 12 mike from Campbell River, Vancouver Island, has been added to the B. C. Tele- phone Company's system, with the establishing of a toll station there. A new line was built con- necting the station with Camp- bell River. The station has been named Garrett. The new line replaces a Government line by means of which Menzies Bay was formerly given service. It also provides service for s number of stations between Menzies Bay and Alert Bsy. COUNCIL HEARS COMPANY OFFICER ON WAGE SCALES "We frank'dmit that the seek of wages we are paying is not as high as that reported paid by the Burrard Drydock Co. Ltd. but we submit that our opera- tions are not in any way compar- able with theirs." This was, in part, the reply of Mr. R. WeIr, manager of Pres- sure Pipe Co of Canada Ltd. to a North Vancouver City Council letter regarding wages being paid at the pipe manufacturing plant. Mr. Weir considered that the rates Burrard Drydock Co. is paying on marine repairs and other jobbing work csn not be considered as setting a scale of wages for any industry such as Pressure Pipe Co., working under factory conditions. "We might point out, too," de- clared Mr. Weir, "that our indus- try is a new one in this district, and in consequence, practically all our employees, being local men, are to a great extent more or less in process of training. The scale of wages we are paying is, we fully believe, fair and equitable and in keeping with the spirit of our agreement with you. Our men are apparently quite satisfied and contented." Council decided to refer the question to government officials at Victoria, NORTH SHORE UNITED ARRIVE HOME FRIDAY North Shore United, British Columbia's representatives in the Dominion soccer iinals, left Tor- onto on Monday night via the Great Lakes for Fort William. They will continue the journey by C.P.R., stopping oif at Win- nipeg for sn exhibition game, and arriving in Vancouver at 9 o'clack Friday morning. BRIDGE MANAGER ADVISES CONCERNING SITUATION "I am unable to give your council any general view of the Second Narrows bridge situation since the signing of the contract between the receiver and Stuart Cameron & Co., other than to state that the company is wait- ing for the contractors to com- plete their arrangements to car- ry out the work. So stated Major Percy Ward, manager of Second Narrows Bridge, to North Vancouver City Council by letter Monday night.

AT HOLLYBURN THEATRE SFNpiATIONAL ROMANCF. OF I'BISON I.IFE FEATURED Last season a sensational New York stage hit. "The Criminal Code" by Martin Flavin, won the Theatre Club Trophy as the best play of the year. It opens in its picturized form at the Hollyburn Theatre on Friday and Saturday of this week, and has gained appreciably with its translation to the talking films. It emerges as the most powerful and stat- ling prison romance yet made. The plot is novel and well mot- ivated snd the story ls convinc- ing. Bob Graham, who hss drunk a little too much in celebration of his twentieth birthday, re- sents an insult oifered to a girl and kills a man by hitting him over the head. Bob is sentenced to ten years in the state's prison. Bob seiwes six dreadful prison years and has a nervous break- down in the penitentiary's jute mill. Warden Brady, who, as former District Attorney, hsd prosecuted the boy for the State, gives him a trusty's job as his chaufi'eur. The kindly warden also goes about getting the youth a parole. Bob sees beauti- ful Mary Brady, the warden' daughter, and loves her although he feels it is a hopeless love. And then one startling complica- tion crowds on the heels of an- other. A stool pigeon is mur- dered. Bob knows who is guilty but he will not violate the "criminal code" snd squeal. He is thrust into a dungeon and fin- ally has to decide--love and free- dom or torture and added dreary prison years. A poignant love interest is woven through the most startling prison scenes ever produced. As Warden Brady, Walter Huston gives a trenchantly pow- erful and human portrayal which has been universally acclaimed. Phillips Holmes as the youthful convict comes through with a dramatic performance which is unexcelled on the sound screen. It is magnificent. Constance Cummings, as the Warden' daughter, is dynamic and appeal- ing. Other interesting parts are rendered by Boris Karloif, Mary Doran, and Dewitt Jennings. "The Criminal Code" was direct- ed by Howard Hawks. The fam- ous director has given the play a human and sincere interpreta- tion which adds much to its ap- peal. This Flavin play is worth while. It has everything a pic- ture needs--love, drama, comedy -- everything. See it by all means.

VANCOUVER HAS RECORD RAINFAI.L Heavy week-end rains in Van- couver brought precipitation for July to 5.32 inches, exceeding the record for the month estab- lished in 1916 when the figure was 6.25 inches, states Dominion Meteorologist E. B. Shearman. Rain was intermittent all month, to the annoyance of July holiday makers. During the week-end, resorts all over the Lower Mainland were well pat- ronized as many took encourage- ment from the fine weather Sat- urday. The total rainfall to date this year is 38.66 inches, 10.83 inches above the twenty-six year aver- age, it is revealed by the latest weather report. The monthly average rainfall is 1.04 inches.
