After several tots of this dark and heart-warming fluid, his attitude distinctly thawed. Before long we were fast friends. “Crisis came when I discovered that we had food and water for fifteen years and rum for only a fortnight. I imposed rationing, of course, and this testing time exposed the dross in my companion’s character. One night, I detected him searching me for the corkscrew. Taking the only manly course I slipped over the side with the rum while he was sleeping and, sustained by the body-building beverage, swam to the nearest licensed premises.” _“A Rum story!” murmured the wedding guest thoughtfully. “Most generous!” replied the mariner with seamanlike alacrity. “A Lamb’s Navy Rum, if you please.” 4g Novy Ray RS = Leported fro BO : Be Ga Advertisement is not published or displayed by the Liquor Ze Roard, or by the Government of British’ Columbia, Canada.

Before the second World War was ended/a public meeting was called in Williams Lake and at that meet- ing it was decided to erect an arena to be a Living Memorial, to those who died that we might live, and also be an investment in youth which would be a building in which organ- ized sport could be held, thus help- ing to ‘solve the problem that was faced, not only in this small village, but by the whole world. I feel that we have and are doing a worthwhile job in building and try- the Editor on November 11th next this build- ing will take a very prominent part in THEIR Remembrance Day activi- ties and I also feel sure that the peo- ple of Quesnel as a whole will be very proud to point this building out to anyone passing “through as a worth- while achievement on their part.

However, there are a great many towns in B.C., and the rest of the Dominion which have erected Mem- orial Arenas and I am sure that on November 11th past, their Memorials were recognized-and took a promin- ent part in the activities of that day. Quesnel, which is just a few miles. north of us, is just STARTING to build an arena very similar to ours, as a Memorial and I feel sure that is of kindergarten level. Ii pity you, if you cam only hear the GHC. Out ere we only listen to U.S. stations and turn to CBC for a wea- ther forecast — usually wrong! The Bella Coola Road has always been a thorn in the sides of Williams Lake, I can see it would take away a lot of business from it. If you con- sider boat freight against that of the PGE and discover from this point as about equal, you can easily see which end we would use. Again, its much pleasanter most of the year to make a trip to saltchuck than to Wil- liams Lake. Even in the old da I've often ridden down there to dances rather than to Williams Lake. Yours truly, David Lloyd. BEEF MARKET A firm active market on good de- mand was noted at the Monday auction at the B.C.

Drinkell Some of those having cattle in the recent auction sale at Williams Lake feel it did not measure up to the glowing reports handed to The Press and subsequently released over the Farm Broadcast; in fact, they feel it was a grave error of judgment staging a sale of that magnitude so closely upon ‘the -heels of the annual sales at the Lake and Quesnel. A close scrutiny of the net re- turns seems to indicate the Cattle- market and their luck. While this forum supports the principle of a set schedule of auction sales at given points upon specified dates, we like- wise believe that so long as market conditions are as they are no good purpose is to be served by over- crowding at any one time. Once a low point has been established it is bound to have serious repercussions on subsequent events.
