case. One of the things he took
up was the matter of a new
school and more accommodation
This neces-

Herald, will be provided for this
coming summer in time for the
re-opening of school in. the fall.
For the time being only accom-

common school.- At least eight
pupils are necessary before the

school teacher. As yet New Ha-
zelton. is a couple short of that
but im another year
there will be a full quota, and
perhaps in less. than a year.

The young people ‘wishing to take’

high school work may study under
the public school’ teacher as ‘at
present,

This will meet the immediate
requirements of the town, and
we understand that the new
school building will be designed
go that one or more .extensions
may be made from time to time

In vecirad to road work Dr.
Wrinch informed the editor that,

to Find Solution —

_ of Milk Problem

Shipments to Vanderhoof

This Season Will be
Guaranteed |

‘Just as soon as the roads are

ready for use, Hon. E.:D. Bar-

row, minister of agriculture, with
one or more members of his staff,
will visit Central British Colum-
bia with the object of trying to
solve the milk marketing “prob-
lem. The minister. recognizes
the need of some outlet for the
milk and cream, and he is pre-
pared to recommend. government
assistance. As, yet he is notsat-
isfied ag to. what s.the best
way in which to assist the pro-
“\ducers. Not only are the pro-
ducers to be considered, but there
are three men in Prince Rupert
delivering milk now. They will
have to be dealt with in some
way.as the government does not
propose to enter into competition
with private business.

Dr. Wrinch met Hon. Mr. Bar-
rom and-Mr. Reeve, ehief dairy
commissioner, as well as Hon. A.
M. Manson, member for Omineca,
and they discussed thd question
for a long time. There is no
doubt that some relief will be
provided at an early date.

To provide an imimediate mar- .
ket for the milk and cream the
minister of agriculture assured
Dr. Wrinch that the Vanderhoof
creamery would be continued for
this season at least and that the
government would guarantee the
payment to all shippers. The
government is preparing for. the
supervision of the creamery and
that should remove any. objec-
tion on the part of Valley farm-
ers to shipping to Vanderhoof.

A Splendid Pie Social
The. pie social given by the
Ladies’ Aid in. the church on Fri-
day evening last was a decided
success. The members of the
Aid ‘supplied a bountiful supply
of the finest kinds of pie and the
| way thev were consumed was suf-
ficent evidence of their excellence
There was a 00d. turnout of the
town people: and when the collec-
tion plate, was passed the re-
sponse was ‘general. There was
a short program and a couple of
intelligence. teats, ‘The evening
was most enjoyable. .
