when the mission was closed in 1919 because of the dwindling in- dian population in the area. the moose skin painting was removed to the town of Peace River. It was later lost in a fire.
Today, all that decorates the old structure are names and ad- dresses from almost every prov- ince of Canada and many parts of the United States, inscribed by visitors on the rough walls and pillars. One of the pencilled mark- ings. which date back to i935, is by a visitor from India.
After it was abandoned its a mission, the church served for several years as a house, a gran- ary and a gas station.

ad to make the present time look 'not too bright." He was glad to note the improvements made in prep-rtnx mink pelts for the market This would save the ranch-
: ers many dollars. Buyers demand
that Delis must be properly handled
. and packaged and every precau-
tion should be taken to present the furs in good condition so that they may reach the maximum price.
Mr. Johnston: told the breeders not to pin their hopes altogether on new types of mink because if they couldn't (show a profit on the Present types it was not likely they could show profit on new types. He advised fur ranchers to sell all their furs and budge carc- iully for the coming season. He also advised them to hold their mink show earlier when the mink had reached its prime. In a late
5 show such as they were having . the mink had lost part of their ; best appearance, particularly their
sheen. The speaker stated that Nova Scotia mink ranchers will put over 30.000 pelts on the mar- ket this year and be estimated that Canada's production of mink pelts would reach 1.ooo,ooo,ooo and that the United States Production would be in the vicinity of 4.000.000. He praised the mink breeders for the imptuvemenls they had made and for the fine show of mink at the Exhibition.

OTT AWA (CP) - Sweeplnl changes are proposed in the Sea- ate's divorce rules to bring them into line with modern court pro- cedure and eliminate what Sen- ator Arthur Roebuck describes as "atrocious" wide-open pleadings.
Main commendation in A report tabled Thursday in the Upper House by the Ontario Liberal sen- ator is that persons seeking ,par- liamentary divorces must name co-respondents in their petition!- They also would have to state thl time and place the alleged adul- tery was committed by the 1'0- spondent.
The report was prepared by J- P. MscNelll. Senate qlerk. E. Rus- sel Hopkins. law clerk. and Bar- vey Armstrong. chief clerk of " t committcu.
They were instructed to Itud! the rules. virtually unchanged in the last so years. after Senator Roebuck protested last session that the rules were old-fsshlonsd and needed to be Itl'eImlllIOd-
The changes recommended were approved Tuesday by the Beast! divorce committee, which helrl cases from Quebec and Newfound- land. only provinces without di- vorce courts. The report will ba considered next Thursday by tbs Senate.
The practice of Parliament is to grant divorces only when adultery is proved. Divorce petitions from the two provinces run about on annually. ' DEAL FAIRLY
Senator Roebuck said the main effect of the rule changes. which would be effective Sept. 1. would be tlist a person in a di- vorce petition as a w-respondent would have an opportunity to do- fend his or her reputation. All co respondents would receive pa notifying them of the sccusa on.
He said under the pressnt rules the petitioner is not required to name the co-respondent and may make vague allogst' of ad my being committed at "divers

times and places."
Under the new proposal the peti- tioner would be permitted to tile a divorce application if the name of the co-respondent was ” own. However. the petitioner would have to satisfy the divorce coin- mlttee that every effort had been made to learn the name and ad- dress of the co-respondent. Roebuck said the Ben- ate committee's plan at the next session of rurllament would be ts
named co-respondents or it tails of acts of adultery to why. The committee then w ' exercise its good judgment to de- termine what should ho dons. '
