S. It looks mighty bad for the Yan- kees, for it means that Ike, Moses et alla don't see much chance of sny more easy pick- ings in New York. It's always a safe bet to follow the Jews, either into or out of any busi- ness deals, and certainly much more proiitable than "following the birds to Victoria" these days as many have discovered to their cost. There is evidently going to be money made in the land that used to flow with milk and honey, but which now ap- pears chiefly to flow with sand, if pictures of it are any criteri- on. One could wish that all the Jews in the world would go back there and skin one another. There might then be a chance for the rest of us to connect with a few dollars. A certain old eccentric spin- ster of Boston has died, leaving most of a 64,000,000 estate to her servants and friends snd only 55,000 apiece to her nearest relatives, whose language at the funeral, if they went, was doubt- less highly improper and their thoughts worse than that. Being eccentric, she was probably an old crab and knew it, wherefore she left large sums to her maid, chauFeur, companion, lawyer, and others whom shd thus re- warded for putting up with her nonsense for a number of years. Crab or no crab, a fair-minded old soul withal who looked after those vyho looked after her. And why this postmortem considera- tion to relatives that is so uni- versally followed7 God gives us our relatives, and we make our own friends in spite of the ties of blood, which more often than not result in a lot of it being spilt. Things look very stirring these days. Chamberlain has told the honest-to-God truth about rep- arations, and the U.S. don't like it. VVhen these facts are trans- lated into action, they'l prob- ably like them less Japan and Chins are hopping right to it in Manchuria, and are dropping eggs on one another. But, and a big but, in spite of being des- pised heathen, neither side sre using gas, a pomt which we Christians had better carefully note when we get involved, as is entirely likely. The Irish are happy, for they have had a 'Donnybrook lately, snd with De Valera--it should be a d-- Val- era--returned, prospects look particularly good for a real scrap with Ulster, and they are boys who can scrap. An election is also due in B. C. with the two parties both satisfied they will win, and not a dog's chance for either. Yes, it looks as if a very good time iu going to be hsd by all. It is commonly thought that the cutting of a limb from a tree causes an injury and lowers its vitality so much. If we place a tree's vitality at 100 and then cut oF IOFG of its limbs we cer- tainly do not lower its vitality to 90. The vitality of the tree Is almost exclusively governed by the conditions under which it is grown such as the soil, exposure, moisture, etc. However, if we cut off 60 or 75% of the tree's branches, we do not in most cases leave enough branches on the tree to provide it with nutri- tion for the remaining portion and the tree dies. The branches of a tree are what we might call competitors to a certain degree. If there sre a dozen branches growing or at- tempting to grow where there is only room for ten the whole twelve will sufler while if we cut out two of the branches the re- maining ten will have more room to expand and flourish and bear larger and more matured fruit. If a tree has not been pruned for several years it is best when finally pruning it, to do a good job of it at one time rather than cut out a branch or two each year. In pruning out large limbs a careful watch should be kept to see that the cuts heal over properly and that rot or other diseases do not get a starL The larger the branches cut oif, the more likely is dis- ease or rot to start. If after pruning a tree or shrub either lightly or severely, it does not appear to be growing more vigorously than before pruning, it ls possible that other conditions are aflecting it; it may require fertilizing or it may be planted in a location where there is not suFicient top soll to provide the necessary nourish- ment. We have a neighbor who has an apple tree which has never borne much fruit although the tree itself has been carefully pruned each year and fertilized. The tree appears healthy enough. Upon investigating we found that it had been planted direct- ly on top of what remained of a cedar stump which had been burned oF. Enough nourishment was available to keep the tree healthy but there wasn't enough left over to produce good fruit. If the tree is moved to a more suitable location it will no doubt fulfil its purpose in life.

BRIDGE ENGINEER LEAVES FOR EAST JUDGES FOR SKI EVENTS Judges for officially sanction- ed Western Canada Ski Associa- tion tournaments during the 1933 season were named at a meeting of the above-mentioned body, over the week-end, as fol- lows: Class A--H. Brown, sru and R. J. Verne, Vancouver and Paul Gotaas, Camrose, for the Alberta district; H. Browm, R. J. Verne and S. Fulsebacke, Vancouver district; Paul Gotaas, hI. Engen (Penticton), A. S t e n v o I d (Princeton), and W. Jamieson (Revelstoke), for other points. Class B--H. Belsvik (Vancou- ver Ski Club), Ralph 51orris (Hollyburn Pacific Ski Club), Lindsay Loutet (Grouse Moun- tain Ski Club), K. Haig (Van- couver Winter Sports Club). Sanction was granted Prince- ton for an invitation tournament February 13 and 14, and to the Omineca Ski Club for a district meet February 14 and 15. The Grouse Mountain Ski Club's application for sanction of a meet during the Easter holi- days was held over. It is planned to communicate with the secretary of the Ameri- can Northwest Ski Association with a view to arranging a meet- ing for the discussion of ex- change of skiers'redentials, ex- change of judges, dassification of skiers and other items of mut- ual interest. The appearance in Vancouver of Miss Johanne Kolstad, lead- ing Norwegian ski jumper of her sex, may be arranged, President R. J. Verne announced. Miss Kolstad is making a tour of the United States. Emblems to be distributed a- mong members of aifiliated clubs will shortly be issued by the Western Canada Association. It is planned also to furnish coach- ing to judges for ski jumping. CoL C. N. Monsarrat of Mont- real, who has been here for two weeks in connection with exam- ination of Second Narrows bridge piers, left for home on Monday. He will prepare plans for the piers. Boring of test holes has been proceeding at the south pier of the proposed span to ascertain the footing for the extension which will be necessary because of the heavier bridgework pro- posed. Two boring machines have been working three shifts daily and much information has been obtained. The work is not completed, but it is far enough advanced to permit Col. Monsar- rat to return to his head oil'ice and commence work on the plans. CoL Monsarrat was retained by the Harbor Board to investi- gate and test the present piers. ALL EtbiPLOYEES OF DISTRICT DIS511SSED Notice of dismissal to all em- ployees of District of North Vancouver became eFective yes- terday morning, when all muni- cipal servants with exception of school teachers relinquished their duties. u)Ve will re-engage such men as we need to carry on the ad- ministration of the municipal- ity," Commissioner Charles E. Tisdall announced T u e s d a y morning. All those under notice of dis- missal have applied for reap- pointment, he states. My correspondent, Colonel Tristram, whose letter has been handed to me by the editor, hss evidently misconstrued the rea- sons for my note of warning re- garding the Oxford Group Move- ment. Religion is a matter be- tween s man and his God, and as such should never be criticiz ed. I do not doubt the goodness and sincerity of the Movement and those behind it, but in the light of history, I do doubt whether in the long run it may not work more evil i,han good. I have in mind two similar move- ments, both started by God-fear- ing men to combat the irreligion and moral slackness at the time as now so prevalent. One hss been the cause ever since of schism in a church which it msy yei, wreck, and the other became a separate religious body against the expressed wishes of its foun- der. While for the reasons stat- ed above I do not wish to give 'he New York policeman's son wss learning music. FHow many beats are there to a bar, Dad?"
