Ett hus absolut ljuddämpande för buller utifrån har byggts i Tyskland. Golven äro av gummi, dörrar, lås och strömbrytare arbeta utan det minsta störande och ingen radio är tillåten. Huset blev uthyrt så snart grunden lades.
En 94-årig negerpastor i Dallas, Texas, har i dagarna erhållit begärd skilsmässa. Han är nu osäker om han kommer att gifta om sig, men om så sker, vet han vilken sorts flicka han vill ha. Jag önskar ej en hustru som dricker sprit eller röker cigaretter, säger han.
Organiserade snickare i Val-paraiso, Indiana, komma att reducera sin löneskala från $1.50 till $1.12 och ett halft cent per timme. De säga, att byggnadsverksamheten därigenom kommer att stimuleras.
En strävhårig terrier blev i förra veckan överkörd av en bil i Heresford i England. Gnäl-
lande skyndade hunden till närmaste “drugstore” och visade för butiksbiträdet sitt brutna ben. Då han fått benet ombundet gick hunden hem.
För fem cent per dussin såldes för ett par dagar sedan lång-stjälkade rosor i Washington, D.C. Det var ett priskrig mellan några av de större försäljarna, som föranledde denna oväntade tilldragelse.
Minneapolis, Minn., har en Peterson mindre nu sedan William Peterson fick sitt namn ändrat till William Libby. Peterson framhöll att det var tre fulte sidor med namnet Peterson i stadens telefonkatalog, varför han ansåg sig ha rätt till ett annat namn.

TO THE ELECTORS OF BRITISH COLUMBIA
YOUR present Provincial Administration has been in office some three and a half years. During that time, I think that we have made clear our purposes upon your behalf and it now seems fitting to secure from you an expression of your desires for the immediate future.
The Legislature has therefore been dissolved, nomination day will be held May llth, and polling day June 1st.
May I recall to your mind in broad general outline some of the things which hare been accomplished:
A Commission is t® study the all im-portant question of the mutual rela-tionships of the Provinces and the Dominion with a view to amending the eonstitution to meet existing require-menti.
Your Provincial Government has pur-mied this matter from the day of it» taking office, and pending adjustment of the larger issue, socured an annual interim payment ®f $750,000 o v er and above what had previously been paid to the Province. The credit of our Provinee has been re-established and a recent sale of bonda wäs made at the lowest rate of in terest in the history of the Province.
In addition to public works carried out solely on our own account, a joint pro-gramme was arranged with the Dominion Government for main high-way construction and other functions of beneficial character.
The Municipalities have been relieved of social service costs to the ex ten t of more than $700,000 per annum and, in addition, the Government has assumed a larger percentage of relief eosts.
The position ef the werkers of the Province has been greatly improved and millions of dollars have been added to the industrial pay-roll.
Industry has been encouraged and assisted through governmental co-operation.
Action has been taken under exception-ally difficult conditions of legal and economic character to enable the producer of natural products to market these products to the advantage of both producer and consumer.
Prospecting and the development of the mining industry has been encouraged through the construction of roads and trails.
Definite action has been taken and foundation laid of far reaching character in the sphere of education, including recreational training.
Health and welfare problems have been aggressively attacked. Remarkable pro-gress has been made and benefits extended.
No part of Canada has had better administration of unemployment relief under very trying conditions.
The integrity of our credit, the good name of our Province and provincial
institutions generally have been main-tained, and our position established upon a solid and progressive basis.
Not only has all of the foregoing been accomplished with®ut any increase in taxation, but there have been decreases in taxation, notably the abolition of the one per cent tax on wages in the lower b ra ekets.
NOW, WHAT OF THE FUTURE?
We shall exert unbending effort to w ar ds the amendment of our eonstiution for the mutual advantage of the Provinces and the Dominion, and for the placing of this Province in a position of equality with the other Provinoes in the Con-federation of Canada.
This question is vital to the welfare and prosperity of all of us. No other question before us is of so transcendent import-ance because our activitieo in all matters depend so largely upon it.
* ♦ ♦ ♦
We shall immediately oarry out a more extensive program me of noeessary road and bridge construction.
Institutional and other buildings ®ssen-tial to the public service will be eon-strueted.
♦ ♦ ♦ ♦
The position of the Municipalities will be further reviewed and definite action taken as early as possible.
* ♦ * ♦
We shall proceed progressively in dealing with the problems of industry and labour, health, education, social welfare and expansion of industrial opportunity and endeavour.
* * * *
Our attitude towards all matters affeet-ing the public welfare can be best interpreted by what we have aetually done.
My colleagues join me in an expression of confidence for the future and good wishes to you all.
Very sincerely,
Your obedient servant.
TO THE ELECTORS OF BRITISH COLUMBIA
HEALTH is the first consideration in life. Measures to ensure health are essential. Each individual can enormously ensure his own health by proper living. The State can assist by instruetion and by practical measures.
To ensure health there must be both curative and preventive measures.
In British Columbia our curative costs in the maintenance of public institutions and otherwise, have been mount-ing year by year until it now runs into many millions of dollars annually.
It is clear that preventive measures are necessary both for the purpose of protecting the health of each individual and to reducc relative costs.
For many years the matter of health Insurance has been before the people of British Columbia.
In the first session of 1936, the Legisla-ture passed an act of limited character as a beginning, to be extended as practical appUcation would indicate. Before effeet could be given to the provisions of the Bill, the measure met with violent opposition.
Sumptuary laws are difficult of enforce-ment unless preponderaptly supported by public opinion.
In the light of cireumstances, the Government has thought it wise to test public opinion npon the question of health Insurance before proceeding further. and for this reason, is sub-mitting the question to the electors for an expression of opinion.
Those who may come within th. seope of a health insurance measure must necessarily be those who make con-tribution thereto.
The care and treatment of those unable to make any contribution is a separate question.
The matter of the care of the indigent will be reviewed and endeavour made to more effectively provide for their care and treatment.
The question of health insurance to be submitted to the electorate should therefore be viewed entirely apart from consideration of treatment of the indigent, and solely as concerning those contributing to the scheme.
The Government is in favour of a health insurance measure, but will be guided by the decision of the electorate in its future action.
The following is the question which it is proposed to submit:
“Are you in favoui* of a comprehensive health insurance plan progress vely applied?”
Pri me Minister.
Turisten: — Går det an att få se slottes antikviteter?
Betjänten: — Nej, tyvärr, både grevinnan och hennes dotter äro bortresta.
— Jag gifte mig på en fredag den 13 . . .
— Duktigt . . . Då måtte du inte vara vidskeplig.
— Jo, nu är jag det.
