The deceased was admitted to the hospital Saturday evening, but from the first there was no hope of recovery. Besides a bad cut on the scalp, a broken arm and fractured ribs, .there were serious internal in- juries and these were the direct cause of death. On Monday evening Mrs. | Monsell came up from Terrace to see her husband, but he had passed on before she arrived. She returned to Terrace next morning and on Thursday morning. Rev.~ ‘J.H. Young | accompanied the bedy to Terrace for interment. a C.H. THOMAS IN- CREASING HIS BERRY PATCHES ‘ Although in the district for only five years C.H. Thomas has not only turned stump land into fertile productive soil, but he has built up a home that is a credit to the © district. His flowers, lawn and garden surrounding his . buildings and numerous other improvements compare favorably with homes in old settled district, testifying to the success © which attends hard work and perseverence; When purchasing his present ome there was three acres partly cleared, He has now 20 acres under cultivation. From one anda half acres of strawberries last year he shipped 210 crates with about 70 crates of jam berries he jost on the vines. It is the opinion of Mr. Thomas that a good market is not the only help needed to make the strawberry in- ‘dustry ‘a profitable one. If the growers would cooperative and thereby lift themselves out of their many and established .ruts which have obviously proven a failure, they might easily incite’ someone with capital to establish a jam factory. The ultimate result of this is manifest when one considers the immense’ number of jam berries which are wasted each year. Some growers consider the annual waste would pay the expenses of the whole crop. - that if a sufficient number of -PERRACE NOTES © -?

Queen Charlotte travel subsidy © Some of you will have been pleased to learn in the past few days of the recent decision by Cabinet to provide a subsidy to Queen Charlotte Island residents for travel to the mainland. This subsidy will be $5 for: those travelling one-way on third level air carriers; a $10 subsidy for a two-way ticket. This action on the part of the Ministry of Transport will reduce the difference which has existed between the cost of an air ticket and the cost of passenger travel by water, But keeping in mind that more than ‘90 percent of island people utilized air travel before the Northland Navigation subsidy removal, this rebate to people rather than a company, will be to all: island residents, not just. whose who might have. travelled by water In other: circumstances. Therefore,: the subsidy is not the full: amount of difference bet-. ween the ticket prices. This. rebate system will take. 4 effect March 1 on: ~
