| THE OMiNeea HERALD, WEDNESDAY. JaNUaky 11, 193s 1 The One Thing You Can Afforc ’ The great national pastine this weather is squeezing the expenditure column ‘so that it will remain: in. proportion to. the revenue. The first step in this of course is making a decision as to what items are absolutely necessary fo the well- being of our minds and bodies and eonsigning the balance to the limbo of things we will have when the times improve. You cannot do without your local newspaper for several very good reasons, the first of which is that as an intelligent citizen of the community it is necessary that you keep informed as to what is taking place in that community what is transpiring at the school the churches; if grants are being made from public funds, or cut: off; what your community proposes deing about relief measures; where food stuffs, meat, wearing apparel, wood coal, may be pur- chased to the best advantage; all the intimate personal news; the deaths, births, marriages, and the thousand and one other oceur- rences that go to male up the life of the community. That is the function of the local weekly newspaper. Its news columms each week carry the story of the activities of the com- ntmity, and in addition to the effective news of the world at large. Its advertising columns bring into your home the best of- ferings of the stores and shops with prices and description. . The Herald costs you but Two Dollars for a whole year. If you will read it thoroughly, intelligently you will receive many, many times over 2 return in value. And the Herald is a good paper for the family to read. There are many things children may learn from its columns, but nothing they should shun. The cal- umns are clean, carefully edited and contain all the NEWS. If you are alveady a subscriber to the Herald a send it to a friend, either in the community or ; at a distance. They will appreciate it. “The Omineca Herald Is Your Newspaper Make Full Use of it ~ Jour nurses, -and all’ their. émployrees’ 4} Mining in British Colimbia Among ‘the Canadian Provinces, British Columbia is the lead- ing producer. of Lead, Silver and Zine. ‘In this Provinee about 45% of Canada’s Silver, 97% of the Lead and 939% of the Zine are produced, ; British’ Columbia. has produced approxtuately $1,300,000,000 worth of minerals.

They will welcome the New Year with hope re- newed, an increasing confidence in the future, und a commendable pride in their accomplishments under most dit- ticnlt ‘circnimstances. ; The past year has been the most try- ing in the memory of vur institutions. ‘The conditions under. which they hive operated have been most discouraging, Every odverse wind that blew. swirled about them. Unpreéedented burdens in the care of non-paying patients, und the demand for increased services were necepted by our hospitals as a chal- lenge to their courage and continued operation, But institutions with de-- cades of fine performances back o1 them do not fail. — Whatever the storms thut blew, or wherever they threatened, our buspit- ws have maintained their finest tradi- tions. They have kept faith with the poor’ of their community. They bhure admitted every patient whe cume to them for care and help and encourage- ment. Whatever duty they have owed : to humanity they have discharged. to the satisfaction of their communities and to their own great glory. Our hospitals inthe main have sur- vired. No one cnn tell, and only God can know, how great. has been their service to the public welfare during the past year. Not one has failed in the efficiency of its operation. The physicians on hospital staffs have re- doubled the voluine of their services to the slck poor. Our boards of trustees have without complaint accepted the in ereased responsibilities that have fall- en to thelr lot, Our superintendents. have been Joyal and faithtnl in the dis: churge of their duties. Never in their memory have hospit- ils enjoyed the good will, respect and confidence of our people as they do _to- day.:, They have remained steadfast in their purpose,’ Unbowed by adversity wud with a courage that has never fal- tered, théy have given their best effort to the relief of suffering humanity. Our yoyaze is not yet ended, but some how the skies seem clearer ns the New Year: approaches, the winds seem softer and more favorable, the wives hospitals will reach a safe inven after the stormiest and most Iiigardeus voy- nge in. their history. - A Pure Bred... ~ Bull and What Tt Really Means A pure bred bull is one that is eli- eile for regtstration in the herd book of the breed to which it belongs. This means that his ancestors ave duly re- thus cnn be traced back toe animals The imported an- fis in tien, have tobe registered tn dations, This is not true, of conese ‘of French Canadian , cattle, 1 breed that was orlginated in this vountry, But what assurance hay one tht an aninad is pure- -hred?

On this application its: sire, and dam must be recorded, also the date of ser- vice, date of birth and a sketch of its color tinrkings Jn the case of such broken colored breeds as the Ayrshires Yuernseys and Holsteins.

He may be of good type but no particulir breed ing from n- production. stundpoint, Or he may be bred for production and not particdlarly for type. Experiments have shown that profitable dairy herds ern be graded up from unprofitable ones by the use of pure-bred sires However, the sires used must be care- fully selected from good ypraducing strains and should be of reasonably gxood type, The surest way, however of improving a herd was found to: be through the use of a proven sire—a sire whose diughter’s production hay proven his valte.
