ADVOCATE
PRIZE OFFER

In another part of the People’s
Advocate there is an advertise
ment in connection with the of
fer of books as gifts for work in
pbuilding up the circulation of our
paper.

The mark for a bonus is sur
pnisingly low. Only $15.00 in subs
each month for any group, club
oer individual will secure a book
and the offer is one which should
stimulate interest in maintaining
or building a library.

The books given away will be
worth while publications care
fully selected for their interest
and educational value to these
engaged in social and economic
shidy.

There are no formalities and
there is no delay in the delivery
o fthe bonus-book when the subs
are turned in over the counter of
the People’s Advocate in Room

while stickers were pasted up
everywhere—on cars, fence posts,
buildings and store windows, with
the result that wide aittention had
been drawn to Saturdays demon-
stration and Yernon citizens re-—
sponded excellently.

Harlier in the week Mrs. Camp-
bell-Brown, 70 years old and for
20 years a missionary in China, ad-
dressed a public meeting on the
boycott question and raised a total
collection of $215 for the Chinese
Aid Committee. Mrs. Campbell-
stated she was returning to China
in January where she intended to
assist in’ refugee work.

Partly as a result of her work,
the Chinese Aid Committee here
has been strengthened by 2 num-
ber of prominient people and plans
are now beings worked out to send

further assistance to tthe Chinese
people.

Wery little in the way of Jap-
anese goods are being displayed
in Wernon stores this year, and
many homes will likely see a hap-
pier Christmas celebration im
view of the fact that very little
money from local people will be
placed in the hands of the Japan-
ese militarists.

Alaska
Highway
Survey

Gov’t Experts
Drafting Two
Main Reutes

CURTAILMENT
OF APPLE PACK
IS ADVOCATED

VICTORIA, BCG, Dec. 22—Gov-
ernment experts were reported to
be drafting alternative routes for
the Alaska-Yaukon highway sur-
vey which is expected to get
under way next year.

Two main routes are under

eonsideration — an “A” and a
“B” route.
It is believed the “B” route is

considered by draftsmen to be the
most practical and feasible.

The proposed interior highway
would follow the Peace, Liard and
Pelly Rivers from Finlay Forks,
through Whitewater, Liard Post,
Frances Lake, Ross River, Pelly
Crossing and on to Mawson.

This route would be back of the
main mountains in the area with
an elevation at its highest point
of 3150.

On the other hand the so-called
Goast route would begin at Hazel-
ton, going north and west through
Telesraph Creek and Atlin on the
outside of the mountains. Main
drawback to this proposal ap-—
peared to be the fact that ,eleva—
tions up to 6000 feet would be
encountered. :
-From Atlin north to WPelly
Crossing and Whitehorse both
lees of the Coast route—inside or
outside of the mountains—would
merge into one.

The interior route would, how-
ever, be considerably longer of
the two main paths—some 800
miles—though many believe this
would be counterbalanced by bet-
+er climatic conditions in winter
over the Coast route up the
Skeena Valley.

Record Berry Crops

Pacific Co-op Union
Hears Secretary s Report

a meeting here last week.

‘Total shipments were 5438 crates
shipped to prairie points and 66
tons processed for jam.

Goast markets absorbed the en-
tire apple, pear, plum and green-—
gage crops. Three hundred tons of
Italian prunes were shipped to the
prainies or bought by coast jam
factories.

At Mission, Shimek reported, the
Go-Operative Union handled 205
ears of strawberries, 75 cars of
Taspberries and loganberries and
32 cars of late strawberries, rasp-
berries and blackberries.

Total Valley strawberry crop ex-
ceeded the previous peak year, 1935,

J. B. Shimek of the Pacific Co-Operative Union told growers at

Raspberry crops in the Valley

Shipments of rhubarb were also
heavy, with 38000 crates being
shipped to prairie points. Three
thousand erates of strawberries
and 8000 crates of raspberries went
io prairie points from Yarrow.

Some dissatisfaction Was ¢x
pressed at the meeting with prices
received for the fruit.

Record shipments, some members
of the Co-Operative Union pointed
out, did not necessarily mean re-
cord prices. Growers received on
an average of $1.42 per crate for
raspberries, while 200 tons of pro-
cessed berries were Shipped to the,
British market and sold at 44%

by 45 carloads.

Shippers Threaten
Boycott Of CPR Lines

COURTENAY, BC, Dec. 22.

eultural Halt Monday night, wi
matter up with the local and Va
threat arose when E. W. Bourgue,
marketing board offiical, disclosed
that potatoes were brought in from
the US for use on the Empress
liners.

Lower freight rates to the Orient
was advocated in a resolution when
it was learned there was @ consid-
erable market in Hong Kong and

10—163 West Hastings street.

—Threatened boycott of potato

shipments via CPR was voiced ata meeting of growers in Agri-

th a decision made to take the

Growers felt they would suffer as
a result of the recently signed
trade agreement between Canada
and the US which allows the Amer-
jcan products to enter Canada free
of duty while Canadian potatoes
have a tariff against them. A reso-

Singapore for potatoes which would

seemingly unfair practice and a

But Growers See
Real Solution In
Smashing Combine

Special to the Advocate.

KELOWNA, BC, Dec. 22. —
Only alternative to the serious
situation facing Okanagan ap-

ple growers is to curtail the
pack.

This was the solution held out
here this week by Walter E. Has-
kins, chairman of the Tree Fruit
Board, while discussing results of
the recent wheat conference held
at Winnipes.

“Tt’s better to get something for
some of the®fruit than nothing for
all of it,” Haskins stated. «This
means we've got to stop picking
apples that can’t be sold at a
profit.”

We declared the prairie grain
growers were faced wath the same
problem because world markets
were in a chaotic condition due to
war scares, and pointed out that
prairie farmers would have to come
to a policy of restricting output.

“<The situation is the Same in Te—
gard to Okanagan fruit growers
with the difference that they can-
not curtail production,” Haskins
continued. ‘“‘The trees are there and
will continue bearing, but growers
ean limit picking and withhold
from the market whatever quantity
of fruit can not be sold at a price
sufficient to enable us to stay on
the land, which incidentally, has
been the case for the past two
years.”

Haskins statements led to con-
siderable discussion among Valley
growers this week, but some were
quick to point out that while un-
favorable markets constituted 2
problem, main difficulty facing
fruit men was to get an adequate
price for the fruit actually picked.

Many were of the opinion the
Tree Fruit Board chairman’s “solu-
tion’? failed to get to the basis of
the problem—proper control of
marketing and elimination of the
jobber-shipper eombine which
“miles the roost” here and which
makes it impossible for the grower
to get a price even if markets were
flourishing.

The concensus of opinion seems
to be that restriction of the pack
would not solve the problem but
would only serve to cloud the real
issue—-smashing of the fruit com-—
bine.

Langley Stages
Boycott Parade

LANGLEY PRATRIB, BC, Dec.
22 Pickets paraded the streets
of the business section of this vil-
lage last Saturday night for the
first time in response to the broad
movement sweeping the North Am-
erican continent for a boycott of
Japanese-made goods.

Many favorable comments were
made of the pickets and their slo-
gzans which read: “Japanese Toys
Mean Death toe Chinese Children,”
and “Silk Stockings Mean Death to
Chinese Women.”

The event passed off peacefully
and it is expected that this is only
the beginning of a real move to
make the boycott a reality here

committee appointed to interview
A. W. Neill, MiP, with a request he
take the matter up in the House
early in January.

Bourque advised growers to in-
erease their potato acreage and
have no fear of a surplus since
the Alberni district alone would
handle over 1,000 sacks per monith.
Hie also outlined what the potato

board is trying to do. A conclusion
of his address growers plied him
with many questions.
