This desire, substantiated recently by a Gallup poll, stands in contrast to the inadequate and “niggardly pittance which only a part of those needing old age assistance now receive.” Pension minimums of $60 a month for those over 60 are favored by public opinion. 1128-R — L.

Logger Dies A dramatic touch to the Easter sift campaign conducted by the Friends of the Mackenzie-Papineau Battalion to provide parcels for Canadians in Spain was furnished by Bralorne miners last weekend.

PORT ALBERNG, BC, March 31. —Death occurred in hospital here last Thursday of Thomas Kash- mersty, 31, who was injured in a logging accident at Bloedel, Stuart & Weleh Lumber company’s Port Alberni camp.

The BC Tree Fruit Board, through the one-desk sales agency, is also trying to arrange for the canning of apples. The Canadian Canners Western is not interested in the canning proposals. Bulmans Limited, of Vernon, is however, but so far it has not received a minimum wage ‘concession’ from the Industrial Relations Board. If the Board makes a ‘conces- sion’ on the minimum wage for canning apples, packers claim that a further $2.50 per ton on apples will go to the growers, based on a eut of 5 cents per hour for labor. INo response has been received to date from the Board to a num- ber of applications made recently by large packing firms, permitting a cut in the minimum wage. Boycott Japanese Goods. Resolution To Gov’t RENATA, BC, March 31—At a meeting of registered yoters here @ resolution urging the dominion government to construct the south- ern route of the Trans-Ganada Highway from Castlegar to CGas- cade, via Deer Park and Renata was unanimously adopted. The resolution points out that at the present time the only means of communication in the district is a limited boat service and states that “we in Renata are in favor of this or any other road passing through this district.” It was contended at the meet- ing that the difficulty in obtaining emergency medical service and the steadily increasing soft fruit in- dustry in the district rendered con- struction of such a road impera- tive. Members of the committee elect- ed to press the matter were W. J. Doherty, H. C. Jung, J. Letkemann and W. B. Fromson. 1012 Dominion Bank SBuilding, Phone Trin. 2140.
