The day was perfect im’ every. respect and the crowds came frum ail directions, Just as naturally as does mittee in charge did its work well and the results. were: shown by the gate receipts and- the happy people ou the ground. Owing to there being put few race horses left in the interior the fentures of the entertainment were steer riding and baseball games. .The first game sturted about -11.30 a.m. and did: not finish. until two o'clock or after, It wus between a pick-up team from Smi- thers and Teélkewa. -'‘Ehe home boya did just about rs they pleased ‘with the visitors and rin up a score of 18 to 8. That put the Telkwa team up against the New Hazelton in the afternoon, but in the meantime the youngsters gf Telkwa took a whirl at the youngsters |’ from Smithers and gave them a drub- bing properly. Then the second ball zame for the championship was ealled nnd Telkwa did to New Hazelton just what they did te Smithers in the morn ing, It was a straight ‘Telkwa day on the ball field and none were more pleased to see Telkwa win than. were New Hazelton and most of the Smith- ers fans. The visiting teams have not maintained their standing as: ball play- ers the last couple of: years, and ‘par- ticularly this year.

The Telkwa Barbecne is a real fen- ture in the life of the interior and the eaumlttees In charge from year, to year deserve a great deal of credit for holding the affair so successfully. coop: HARVEST SEASON NOW ——w a em enn BRITISH COLUMBIA FOREST SERVICE INSTALLS RADIOS _ The British, Columbia Forest Ser- ‘vice hag installed radios as their lat- eat aid to selentific fire fighting. The resulta have been favorable and of ficers of the service confidently assert that the radio will prove much meorg' satisfactory than the telephone fron, a communication standpoint. They have the advantage of being very in- expensive to operate and install. ° The sets are identical with those’ be- ing used by the United States Forest Service, and as they are two way sets (they either transmit or receive) en- nble the outlooks to communicate with their base or with each other. It is expeeted that these radios will be of material benefit in the actual direct- ing of fire fighting as they are light enough to be readily transported ‘to the site of the fire. The following points dre now using this equipment and all stations, it is expected, will be! equipped. next’ year: Port Alberni and Bainbridge lookout : Sechelt and Mt. Shepherd lookout; Prince George and Pilot Mt. tookout; Penticton and Baldy Mt. lookout; Na- kusp and Saddle Mt, lookout. Wedding Bells .
