Fur-Buying Woman Spurns “New Look”

WINTHPBG. 861R. 2f! - (C?) — (m. " c.v look" neither appeals h, Mrs mmn Johnson nor is she ,,i_,llgo.l by the dictates of fashion to near it. Virtually the year- youlld she wears slacks or ski pmtS, sweaters and a parka.

Mrs. Johnson, widow of a year who has two children, runs a fur earring post at Lost Bay on Uchi lake about 3'5 miles from the milling town of Red Lake. Ont. she likes the life so much that die hasn't the slightest intention o! "rcwizning to civilization."

"1 thnk I'm the only woman in the tur-tsuying business in North- em QriiaflO," she said today. I tertalnlv don't claim to be the mlv one in Canada because I've read about others in the North- west rl‘(l in Quebec, But I was the onlv one at the traders‘ meet- ings in Sidux Lookout last Sat-I vronlx"

Born in Brussels, she came to lihnrirpcg with her parents gs a thud. Eight years ago she went to Uchi Lake and shortly after re rrinrricd the trading post EJIIJiKEI.

"I learned a lot about fur from ry husband but when he died a rear ago I felt I was plunging iliio something quite new. How- mr. I'm learning."

Mrs. Johnson is also learning Cree because she feels it is ne- ttssary to speak the language o-f ills great majority of the trap- pczs in her area,

About clothes, she says:

"New look! No. I don't like it. it's clumsy. But then, up there I rear slack or ski pants, sweaters. ltflfka. When I'm not handling iurs or supplies in the store I'm stills; wood or water or doing housework. There's really not much i-‘me in worry about clothes."

Alleged Arthritis V itur-e Proves Fake

(By The Canadian Press)

VICTORIA, Sept. 23 — The "Green arthritis cure", on which many arthritic victims pinned hope for relief, today was declar- ed "unsound" in a report of a British Columbia Government-ap- pointed committee. _

The committee was appointed to investigate the claims of Lou F. Green of Port Aiberni. 3.0., that he had found a method of treat- ing arthritios.

‘There is nothing new in Mr. Green's medicine or his methods," said the report.

The formula was ‘found to con- tain watered gin. sulphur, cnam of tartar and magnesium nitrate_

The committee, under chair- manship of Dr. G. l". Amyot, De- puty Minister of Health, added that the treatment “to some ex- tent. is a form of faith healing. depending to a degree on 3.11pm- sis."

Y's Men See Interesting Film

At the regular weekly supper meeting of the Y's Men's Club held in the Masonic recreation hail last evening. those present were thrilled with ilhe showing of the sound film "North West. Pas- sage". The film depimcd the voy- age of the RCMP. schooner "St. Roch" which successfully made the perilous trip in 28 months, the first to do so since explorer Am- undsen iri the year 1903

Before the showing of the film, Corporal Morgen of the R. C. M. P. gave a brief-talk on the hia- tory of the St. Roch and also tcid of the fateful experiences of var- ious expeditions which had en- deavoured to navigate the North

West Passage. Messrs. A. R. Giliis and Merritt Fors-yltrhe acted as oo-chairmen

during tlhe meeting. Rev. T. A. Wilson. Covehead. and Dr. D. F. lvfacNeill were special guests.

A report of the commit/tee in connection with the Henry Scott concert indicated a heavy demand for tickets with a possibility of a sell-out. before Monday.

His passing fzom amongst us is a great loss. The funeral which was very largely attended was held from the home and conducted hy Rev. G.

Government informants said to- day he has made no proposals calling for changes in Canada's trade policy.

The Canadian authorities have not completely assessed the. potent- ial effects on Canada of the British situation as outlined by sir Staf- ford and likely will not be able to until after he leaves.

Sir Stafford will fly to Wash. ingion Sunday for international financial meetings. Finance Min- ister Abbott. who has ta.ken part in the talks here, will accompany him.

The fact Mr. Abbott is going to Washington with Sir Stafford is regarded here as of considerable significance in connection with the report that the Chancellor was to ask the Dominion for “unfreezir-ig" 0f the $240,000,000 blocked portion of Canada's latest loan to Britain.

Nopic proved the most heated of the Council's seslons.

While no one spoke directly against accepting "C.0.'s" into equal pensionability with military servicemen, many, including On- tario's Chief Justice J. C. Mc- Ruer of Toronto, argued the topic should rim be discussed during s Pension Board report. Mr. Justice McRuer said it should come up later and in nocre detail,

"The question is a moral one and should not have come up in discuss-ion of pensions."

The Council‘ also agreed today to do something about acquiring a eost-of-iiving bonus for pen- sioned ministers and widows of ministers.

"The present allowance. a maximum of $800 for men and $380 for widows, is a paltry sum." said David H. Gibson of Toronto, lay chairman of the Pension Fund Committee."

Details of the bonus will be worked ou-t by the committee fol- lowing Council sessions.

"No church wen-ts you after 45 and no one wants to hear you after 50." said Rev. Alan l-l. Ferry of Toronto and Owen Sound. Ont. d/irring the bonus debate.

“Our retired ministers aren't grlven enough now to buy shoe laces," he added.

The lack of an adequate pen- sion fund now is preventing young men from joining the ministry, Mr. Ferry said.

A 10-point program calling for a revitalized “policy and plan for future recruitment" was also ap- proved.

Reports to llhe conference show that the Church is short 40-5 min- isters.

‘additional 200. Prince County growers have estimated their re- quirements at between 500 and 600 pickers from tihe mainland. As in past years the gzeat majority of the pickers are recruited by the National Employment Service from the Cape Breton area-a small. number coming from Pictou Coun-

ty.

Bringing in the pickers under the “g:oup" system is the result of the confusion and difficulty ex- perienced last year when 400 ar- rived at one time. National Em- ployment officiala were unable to cope with the rush in such n short period of time.

However. this year employment officers will meet the various groups on arrival. Farmers will be notified by telephone as to when and vnhere to meet the trains. and the pickers will’ be distributed along the route.

Movements of potato-pickers from Canada to ‘Maine and other points in US. are confined to residents of the border towns in Quebec and New Brunswick. National Employ- ment Service officiais stress that no potato-pickers from either Prince Edward Island or Nova Scotia may be sent to the'U. S. potato harvest. The employment situation in King's and Queen's Counties is re- ported to be excellent. A number of vacancies exist for skilled wo-k- ers and twenty-five first class carpenters could be put to wort: immediately.

Daring Holdup

Not in years has there been anything quite so daring as this daylight assault on the bank branch at Notre Dame East and St. Just Streets. It came soon af- ter 2.30 p.m.

Oaimly the three bandits drove up before the bank. Two got out and a bystander. Pierre Lefebvre. l7, watched as they donned gloves and dark glasses and entered the

Driver Exonerated At Inquest Into Death 0f Mrs. Sterne

A coroner's jury found last night that Mrs. E. D. Stems. 90, Clhar- lottetown. came to her death about 1.45 pm.. $6M- 14. 1M4’- ll the corner of Pownal and Distcn Streets as the result of being struck by a ca: driven by Robert Maclnnis, Charlottetown.

‘Ilhe jury was satisfied that Mr. Maclnnis had been blinded by the liglhts of an approaching car and exonerated him from all blame for the accident. It recom- mended that i-n ‘future the City's hy-laws forbidding motorists from driving with glaring lights be more strictly enforced.

Dr. J. D. MacG-uigan presided as coroner and the jury compris- ed Messrs. Percy Gay (foreman). A. Belcher, Louis McMahon. D. A. McConnell, George Berrigan and Harper McNeill. G. R. Holmes, K. C. appeared for tihe Crowin

Dr. R. G. Le-a said he made no examination of the body of the lute Mrs. Stems since the woman was dead when admitted to the Hospital shortly after 8 p.m. on the evening of Sept. 14 and had both arms and legs broken.

Robert MacIrmis said he was driving about 20 or 26 miles an hour when. approaching the in- tersection of Powriai and Euston streets, he was blinded by the iiglhvts of an approaching car. Wit- ness was watching oaretully on his right lest some pedestrian step off the curb into the street. when the leflt side of the car struck something, He fmmedixteiy applied the brakes and stopped trhe car. A woman was lying in front of the car and about in the centre of the street.

Chief of Police A. Birtwistie said it was the duty of the motor- ist to a/t all times "protect his

right". The pedestrian, provided he did not "jaywaik" across a street or intersection, had at all

times the right of way. It was an infraction of the law for mo- torists to drive in the City limits with glaring lights and to drive through intersections at more than 10 miles an hour, There were too many traffic violations being committed within the City limits but it w-as physically impossible to station officers at every inter- section. Chief Brirtiwistie suggest- ed tha-t one or two plain clothes men placed at s-traoteg-lc centres for a. few days would effect con- slderuble improvement by reduc- ing the number of traffic viola- tions.

Other witnesses heard were Miss Bessie Prowse. Mrs. Arthur Grin- din. Walter Young. A. B. Cut- cliffe, Rankine Mclaine and Sgt. Duncan McFhail. City Police.

a, passing police cruiser car. Cruis- er officers Duranleau and Paquln raced toward the bank just as the bandits emerged. their guns a- blaze.

That was enough for the ban- dits‘ driver. I-ie watched his com- panions’ guns belch. saw the two policemen crumrple and then drove or! at 80 miles an hour.

l-lis speed was his undoing. An- other cruiser car noted his pace and overtook him before he had gone three miles.

Back at the bank the bandits. having shot their way through the first police attack. stopped a man and woman in their passing car, forced them to abandon it. and drove away before new police reached the scene.
