Hon. Gordon S. Wismer, K.C., 

was sworn in last week as Minister 

of Labour by His Honour the Lieutenant-Governor. 

Among those at 

the ceremony at Government 

House were Premier John Hart, 

Hon. Herbert Anscomb and Hon. 

G. S. Pearson. 

Hon. Mr. Wismer replaces Hon. 

George S. Pearson, who has held 

the portfolio on nna off for fourteen 

years. 

The Premier paid tribute to the 

outstanding work that had been 

done by Hon. Mr. Pearson during 

those fourteen years, and intimated 

that Mr. Pearson would carry 

on with the portfolios of Minister 

of Health and Welfare in addition 

to being Provincial Secretary, 

which is a senior portfolio. 

"The choice of Hon. Mr. Wismer 

for the Labour portfolio was made 

in view of the fact that the administration 

of labour affairs is 

very closely identified with legal 

matters. The keen interest that 

Mr. Wismer has taken in labour 

and his thorough knowledge of 

the various labour acts has made 

him peculiarly suitable for this 

portfolio," Premier Hart stated. 

DEVELOPMENT PLANS 

Two steps have been taken in 

connection with the development 

of the Peace River District, it was 

announced.by Premier John Hart. 

The Cabinet is presently engaged 

in studying some six applications 

for major oil companies for 

exploration and development work 

in the Peace River District and it 

is expected that territory will be 

allotted to the i-espectrve applicants 

so that they may proceed 

v/ith their work. ' 

One of the applicants is interested 

in developing the natural 

gas resources so as to pipe same 

to Vancouver and other coastal 

cities. 

The other step that has been 

taken is the appointment of marketing 

experts to determine the 

markets that might be available 

in connection with the development 

of the coal resources along 

the Pine Pass route of the Pacific 

Great Eastern Railway's proposed 

extension. 

As soon as the latter data has 

been made available, it is believed 

that Premier Hart will proceed 

East to carry, on further negotiatioxis 

with.the^DbmUTton.Govern-, 

merit and C.P.R," anoT'CiN.R': principals. 

In the meantime, further 

overtures have been made by 

American interests who are anxious 

to construct a railway to connect 

with Alaska, but the Premier 

has intimated that he must 

first proceed with his present negotiations 

before entertaining other 

offers. 

AREA SURVEYS 

Area surveys in ten regions of 

British Columbia to aid industrial 

development and expansion of provincial 

economy will shortly be 

carried out by the regional development 

division of the Trade ana 

Industry Department, it was announced 

b Hon. L. H. Eyres, minister 

of the department. 

The new division, formed some 

time ago to take over all activities 

of the disbanded Bureau of 

Reconstruction relating to trade

and Game Commissioner J. G. 

Cunningham. The lakes treated 

were Round Lake and Dry Lake, 

near Princeton.

Strike Ends—But Damage Done 

Workmen in Canada's major meat packing plants went back 

to work this week after a three-week tie-up due to strike action. 

The workmen didn't get what they were asking in the way of pay 

increases—in fact they got just about half what they were demanding—and 

the packing house companies didn't succeed in 

getting the men to return to work at the old wage scale. 

In fact, it was a compromise settlement which should have 

been arrived at before the men left their jobs. 

The workmen and companies involved in the strike have lost 

the monetary equivalent of three weeks' work. But there are others 

in no way connected with the strike who were also made to 

suffer. One instance of this is the cattle sale held here yesterday. 

Last year the Quesnel Cattleemen's annual sale disposed of 

aproximately 1,400 head of cattle. This year, owing to uncertainty 

of the cattle market due to the strike, the number entered for the 

auction ring was under 600. 

This sort of thing argues strongly for the implementation of 

British Columbia's controversial Bill 39, which calls for, among 

other things, a cooling off period and.secret ballot before a strike 

may toe called. It also should provide for heavy fines and imprisonment 

for irresponsible labor leaders who call strikes, or management 

which enforces lockouts, before all avenues of arbitration 

are examined. 

Propaganda For Zionism 

During the past several months we have been in receipt of a 

magazine, "The Canadian Arab," published in Montreal, which 

sets forth the objectives of the Arabs' fight against the partition 

of the Holy Land, and the influx of swarms of Jews into their 

homeland. 

While we must admit we have heard very few voices raised 

in support of the Arabs, we must say that our sympathies are all 

with them. Who could think of anything more likely to raise the 

fighting spirit of an ancient and proud people than to have 

thousands of Jews, like a swarm of locusts, and bolstered by the 

dollars of American Jewry, settle down in their midst? How would 

we Canadians, for instance, react if the United Nations mandatorily 

informed us that Canada was to be partitioned and five million 

Jews were to be brought hi and settled on one of these halves, 

probably the best one? 

That is exactly what the Arabs are being told! 

The Jew claims Palestine as his national home. It never was 

his home, and anyone who has read the history of the Near East, 

or the Bible, will bear this out. The Jew has been, throughout recorded 

history, literally "The Wandering Jew," and he has only 

himself to thank for it. We are not Jew-baiters, but we do think, 

in the interests of world relations, the Arabs should get a square 

deal. 

If the United Nations advocates the partitioning of the Holy 

Land, and sets up a commission to see that this course is followed, 

then it is merely adding persecution upon persecution. Such action 

is certain to inflame the Moslem world, and in all probability turn 

it forever against the United Nations and all its works. 

And at this present writing the United Nations, after months 

of aimless discussion, appears to be about to sell the Arabs short. 

If they do, they can look for repercussions for years to come from 

a dis.salusioned Near East. 

Canada Starts to Pay Off 

A milestone in Canada's financial history was passed on October 

14th when Minister of Finance Hon. Douglas Abbott put into 

motion the repayment of the country's first bond issue. 

Reaching into a hat containing the five different call letters 

printed on these bonds, Mr. Abbott drew out an "E" which means 

that all First War Loan Bonds bearing this call letter are called 

for payment on February 1st. 1948. 

At the time of the drawing in his office, the Minister of Finance 

recalled that great events had transpired since February 1st, 1940, 

when the First War Loan Bonds were offered for sale. "At that 

time." said Mr. Abbott, "people were talking about the 'phoney' 

war. Although Hitler's armies were facing the Allies across the 

Maginot Line and British troops were stationed along the Gelgian 

border warfare was confined to skirmishing. It is interesting to 

look back on the news of that date, and find the announcements 

of the location of air training schools in Canada, and of the expected 

arrival of two hundred flyers from England. The conjunction 

of the First War Loan with these events," added Mr. Abbott, 

"reminds us of the long road we have travelled since that time."

lowest-priced car! but oh — what a difference in power and performance! 

What a difference in comfort and styling! And what a 

thrilling discovery for owners of-new Pontiacs! From every part 

of Canada they write to express their jubilant satisfaction with 

the silken-smooth engine performance — big, roomy body — marvelous 

handling and driving ease — unsurpassed dependability. 

Truly, their letters say, the 1947 Pontiac—the finest of the famous 

Silver Streaks — is also the finest car of all in the low-price field. 

The slack of orders piled up for the new Pontine me gratifying testimonials 

to the quality and beauty of this finest of the famous Silver Streaks. Unfortunately., 

so many orders also mean that many who choose Pontiac must 

wait. So if your car-wise head and heart say 'Pontiac' . . . your present car 

will give yon better, safer service while you wait if you have it serviced 

by your Pontiac dealer.

. Commander-in-Chief 

of all British, 

Colonial and Dominion Forces engaged 

in World War I until his 

death in 1916, when he met a 

tragic and untimely death on H. 

M.S. Hampshire, a British cruiser 

sunk by mine action or the Shetlands 

in the north of Scotland. 

At that time he was on a mission 

to Russia in an attempt to 

put heart, and by the same token, 

a modicum of guts into the Bolshevists, 

who were contemplating 

the desertion of their allies 

surrendering and the signing of 

a separate peace with the Germany 

of the Kaiser. 

Quite an enviable record to be 

attained by a young man now setting 

out to win his spurs, and fulfill 

the mandate of an aroused and 

wrathful nation, i.e., defeat ana 

utterly crush the Khalifa, together 

with the fanatical, Irresponsible 

hordes under his dominance and 

in his service. 

K. of K, was to get off to a good 

stairt. Troops,' supplies, arms and 

ammunit.on were arriving at Alexandria 

in great quantities from 

from Britain. Egypt was contributing 

men and money (the Sudan 

Expeditionary Force, approximately 

35,000, was composed in quite 

a large measure of Egyptian 

troops). 

What pleased the Commander 

most, however, was the arrangement 

that all authority for carrying 

out the campaign was vestea 

solely in himself. No strings, no. 

red tape, no plagues of orders and 

contradictory counter orders. 

Kitchener soon had the blue 

prints of his plans ready. A glance 

at the map—keep it handy for a 

while—will show that the Nile 

between Khartoum and Wadi Haifa 

froms a grotesque letter "S." 

The steady flow of the river thru 

this "S" is interrupted at five separate 

points by the cataracts, which 

make any worthwhile navigation 

impossible. 

This was the route taken by the 

gallant but unfortunate relief army 

of Hicks Pasha. Kitchener definitely 

turned thumbs down on this 

road: in lieu he determined to continue 

the railway from Wadi Haifa 

—its present terminus—through a 

400-mile stretch of stark Nubian 

desert to Berber, where the Atbara 

joins the Nile, and thence 

up river, south to Khartoum. 

No sooner said than a commencement 

was made. Early in 1897 the 

project was started and continued 

through eighteen months; a cruel 

heart- and back-breaking job. 

Through heat, sand and sirocco 

the railhead advanced, followed 

closely by the trains carryingtroops, 

supplies and water. All the 

material necessary and vital to the 

veil being and existence of a composite 

army. 

The Atbara, meek at low water, 

a devil in flood, was bridged with 

American steel, native labor and 

British brains. Berber was reached. 

Troops and trains followed the Nile 

due south—to what? To where? 

If General Kitchener and his intelligence 

officers were in the know 

they certainly did not broadcast. 

Rumor had it 'the Khalifa and his 

followers were located in strength 

in the region of Khartoum at the 

confluence of the White Nile and 

the Blue; another, the dervish 

army was a myth, there was no 

such animal. 

The rank and file knew little; 

they were fairly healthy and happy, 

also quite philosophical. They 

trusted, respected and obeyed that 

bronzed, unsmiling sphinx of a 

man who led them, so "what the 

heck: get them rails down, clear 

the sand out of your rifle, the 

cooties out of your shirt, and keep 

moving. The Old Man knows." 

Time was passing. It was during 

the last days of August, 1898 that 

dervish scouts became more noticeable 

both in numbers and daring. 

On one of those mornings a 

vista other than eternal sand opened 

up through the binoculars. 

There was Khartoum, and there 

the mud and wattle town of Omdurman 

appeared through the 

heat haze, the newly erected tomb 

of the Mahdi forming a striking 

landmark. The most amazing sight, 

however.'was the human element 

disclosed in this panorama. 

The desert was black with hundreds 

upon hundreds of thousands 

of dervishes. A living, milling 

herd of dark humanity. The color 

scheme was relieved by the white 

of the burnous and the breech 

clout, the glint of sun on shield, 

sword and broad bladed spear: 

the gaudy banners and the lighthued 

camels and horses, mounted 

upon which were the caliphs ana 

other adjutants, dashing to ana 

fro with exhortation and instructions. 

An awesome, nerve-trying 

spectacle. The dervish legions were 

no "myth."

D . V . A . Answers 

V e t e r a n ' s Q u e r i e s 

CASUALTY REHABILITATION 

Department of Veteran's Affairs 

lias answered the ten questions 

most fequently asked by disabled 

veterans about Casualty Rehibilitation. 

Q. If I take a job does it in any 

way affect the amount of my pension? 

A. The Canadian Pension Commission 

does not consider the occupation 

you are engaged in or the 

amount of your earnings when 

ruling on pension entitlement, or 

assessing the degree of disability. 

There are 100 per cent pensioners 

with helplessness allowance working 

at full time jobs, and in some 

cases earning more money from 

these jobs than able-bodied nonpensioners. 

Q. What special benefits are available 

for pensioners to enable 

them to train for lighter work? 

A. Pensioner receives his full 

pension while training plus the 

regular training allowance at the 

rate of a single man ($60 a month), 

and where the allowance for dependents 

received on account of 

pension dees not exceed tnc regular 

dependents' training allowance, 

the difference is paid, e.g. 50 per 

cent pensioner, married, would receive 

his regular pension cheque 

of $50 a month ($37.50 for pensioner 

and $12.50 for wife), and he 

would also receive training grant 

of $60 at the single rate, and an 

additional $7.50 for his wife. Total 

payment during training $117.50. 

This represents a change in legislation 

which was brought into effect 

June, 1947. 

Q. If my disability breaks down 

and I am called into hospital for 

treatment, do I lose my job? 

A. In most cases employers, 

while not under any compulsion 

to reinstate after hospitalization, 

have been very co-operative in effecting 

reinstatment. The Casualty 

Rehabilitation Section is set up to 

assist in presenting your problems 

to employers and it is recommended 

that you have your doctor, 

when in hospital put you in touch 

with the C.R.O. so that lie can 

contact your employer before you 

are discharged from treatment. 

Experiencnce gained over the past 

two years shows very few instances 

where a good worker has not been 

reinstated, after the facte have 

been presented by the C.R.O. to the 

senior officials governing employment 

policy. Many veterans have 

availed themselves of the opportunity, 

while in hospitals, to improve 

their qualifications by further 

study along lines associated 

with their previous work. An enquiry 

left with the nurse of your 

ward will bring these facilities to 

you. 

Q. Can I obtain a Small Holding 

under V.L.A. on less than two or 

three acres? 

A. Should you be a pensioner of 

50 per cent or greater, V.L.A. has 

the authority to consider settlement 

on a Small Holding or onehalf 

acre outside the city limits. 

Q. Is the V.L.A. grant of $2,320 

for settling on Provincial Government 

pre-emption land a suitable 

venture for disabled veterans? 

A. In the case of a disabled veteran 

who is interested in and physically 

able to engage in fur farming, 

he can establish himself very 

nicely if he has the requisite knowledge 

for example of raising fur 

bearing animals such as mink, otter, 

etc. The grant of $2,300 by the 

V.L.A. can be allocated for the erecting 

of the necessary pens, equipment^ 

etc., is sanctioned by the 

V.L.A. officials. A statement from 

your doctor would be advisable. 

Q. Is it true that a disabled veteran 

must apply for Vocational 

Training within 12 months from 

date of discharge, or 12 months 

from cessation of hostilities? 

A. Not necessarily, as a pensioner 

can apply within 12 months 

from the date of the completion 

of continuous treatment, or 12 

months from the cessation of hostilities, 

whichever is the latest. For 

example, a veteran discharged from 

the forces July 1, 1945, and under 

treatment continuously until July 

1, 1947, would have until July 1, 

1948, in order to make application 

for Vocational training. 

Q. Does my pension affect Unemployment 

Insurance payments 

under the Unemployment Insurnee 

Act? 

A. No deductions have been 

made because of War Service Pensions. 

Q. Can my pension be assigned 

in order to make monthly payments 

on Veterans' Insurance or 

V.L.A. Holdings? 

A. Yes. On the written request

1947 HOOP 

SEASON GETS 

UNDER WAY 

By HARRY KEEN 

Opening games of the Quesnel 

Basketball League season got under 

way Wednesday night in the 

Legion Hall. In the first encounter 

the Flashes soundly thumped the 

spunky Gingerette crew 21—12. 

Led by snapshooting Ivy Gook, 

who flicked the ball through the 

hoop for 16 points, and Myrtle 

Marsh's outstanding defence work 

and playmaking, Flashes had no 

difficulty disposing of their opponents. 

They led from start- to finish, 

6—2 in the first quarter, 9—4 in 

the second and 13—7 in the third. 

Star of the Gingerette quintette 

was Viola Simons, who tallied eight 

points and played a sound game 

both ways. 

Second game of the evening was 

a real thriller. Down 25—8 at. the 

end of the first quarter, Pierce 

Garage rallied to outscore their 

opponents in the next three, and 

were within one basket of tieing 

the count with three minutes ..remaining. 

The Transfermen managed 

to hold out against repeated 

shots of the grease-monkeys, however, 

and came out on the,, long 

end of a hard-earned win, ' 

The Yardley - Marsh - Mclntyre 

line of Marsh Transfer really rolled 

in the first quarter, as they 

were chiefly responsible for scoring 

over half their team's points 

in that stanza. Yardley and Marsh 

ended up with 16 and 15 points 

respectively. 

The spark which set the mechanics 

going was the return of the 

Healy brothers on defence in the 

last half. This is the first occasion 

on which Felix and John have 

played together since the outbreak 

of war in 1939, and they apparently- 

Jiaven't lost much of their old 

form in spite of both having suf 

C a n a d a c ' B o n d s 

SICOND SERIES 

fered wounds in Italy. 

Dragneau, of the losing squad, 

was top scorer of the night with 

20 tallies. He thrilled the fans repeatedly 

with his sharpshooting 

from almost impossible angles. 

Referees were Hal Yardley in the 

first game and Jack Fraser in the 

second. Scorekeeper was J. (Dick) 

Roddis. 

Next Wednesday night will bring 

together the Gingerettes and the 

Hotshots, while the Rinky-Dinks 

meet Pierce Garage.

Second Series 

Canada Loan 

Well Received 

Facilities set up in larger B.C. 

plants, milLs and companies prior 

to the, opening of the Canada Savings 

Loan on October 14 and the 

personal interest displayed by 

those who do not come under the 

payroll category resulted in the 

Canada Savings Loan, Second Series, 

getting off to a flying j stan 

despite the fact that Monday was 

a holiday. 

Lewis F. Worsley, Payroll j Savings 

Director for B.C., stated at 

the beginning of the week' that 

the response from the management 

of most British Columbian 

companies has been excellent ana 

co-operation exceeded even that 

shown in past Victory Loans. 

"Facilities have been provideo 

by management in most firms for 

the purchase of Canada Savings 

Bonds either for cash or by monthly 

payments," Mr. Worsley said. 

"Pre-loan canvass of employee re 

action indicated a large percentage 

intended participating in the 

Loan and we are looking forward 

to this reaction being translated 

into definite action." 

Investment dealers, banks and 

other savings institutions report a 

decided public interest with many 

limit $1,000 purchases recorded 

during the first two days. 

Bonds, which are backed by the 

resources of the Dominion of Canada 

and bear 2% per cent interest 

yearly for ten years, are issued in 

denominations of $50, $100, $500 

and $1,000. 

To- afford protection in event 

of loss each bond is registered in 

the name of. the purchaser. 

In pffering this series of Canada 

Savings Bonds the Dominion Government 

had in mind the value of 

widespx-ead holdings of bonds in 

'the national economy. Bonds already 

purchased have made more 

than a million Canadians better 

able to meet emergencies or carry 

out personal plans. 

"Such personal resources are regarded 

as an element of strength 

and stability in our nation," Hon 

Douglas Abbott, Minister of Finance, 

pointed out. "It is confidently 

expected that Canadians will 

again reeognize this fine investment 

opportunity and will take 

full advantage of it."
