For those who like the thrill of

of the Holy Redeemer Tennis Club was the solution. All through the evening this booth was crowded.

A shooting ga.I1e7y provided a still different form of amusement for those who did not dance or play bingo. Many of the large crowd. however, strolled around the show floor and looked at the new cars and talked shop. ‘

There are many dwarf annuals

alyasum find agcratum, provided one wants a change from these two favorites entirely. Most of them have been developed by breeding taller flowers to produce dwarf, compact bushes

There are now several varieties of dwarf marigolds which grow only 4 to 6 inches high They have rangy branches which makes a wider edging than alyssum, but are no less attractive for the purpose. zinnas of the iiliiptu or midget strains. are excellent. They are taller than the marigolds, but are more useful in that they can be used for cutting. The tiny blossoms seem to stand as straight as their huge relatives. and have propor- tionately long stems, making ideal flowers for small decorative cut flower arrangements. '

Glilia tricolor is another rare and handsome little edging plant. Its

they an swing and Soining wood for 18098. Several hundred feet (way another group of carpenters were erecting framework around the diamond drill hole.

An ambulance was close to the scene and a completely equipped emergency hospital unit was stand- ing by, ready to give immediate at- tention to the men when they no brought to the surface.

Miners talked shop grimly as they waited by the pit-head.

"Boy did you got under that big boulder?" -

"No, we eased around to the left. What a Job George did on timber- ing. We'll get through all right."

DBIZZLING IAIN

A cold drizzllng rain was falling in contrast to the bright sunshine that cheered the drab scene this morning.

Midnight would be the critical time, engineers said. A new diamond drill would be through about that time if all went well and through the three-inch bore food, heating apparatus, other comforts and ne- casitles. including a transmitter and receiving apparatus would be dropped to the men below.

At present communication is kept up through a 93 inch bore fitted with a miniature telephone set but lending to a watered area in the mine to which the weakened men will not move even for food. They have not been fed for more than 24 hours.

Doctor H. 1:. MacDonald. M-. Dcnald Rankin and Dr. Gallic con- ferred tonlght with J. P. Messervey. Chief Inspector of Mines, who said he expected to get through tonight. barring unforeseen setbacks.

STRETOHEIIS READE

“You can never tell what may be ahead." the Inspector added.

The doctors told him canvas strctchcrs were already down in the Reynolds shaft where the rescue workers were burrowing.

"We expect no difficulty in getting the men out once we reach them." the Inspector assured the doctors. Medical officials explained the procedure to be followed when a passageway has been finished to the spot where the two men await res- cue.

Stretchers will be taken down the Reynolds shaft and the men will be carried out to a. waiting Canadian Army Medical Corp ambulance 100 feet from the head of the shaft through crowds of miners. wonkmen, officials, newspapermen and specta- tors. .

PERMITTED TO TAKE PICTURES Photographers and movie camera.- men will be permitted to take pic- tures of the men as they emerge from the mine shaft.

The ambulance will hurry the two men across the muddy mire pro-

perty to a field a short distance

away where a small mine office has beg} equipped as an emergency hos- pi .

Driving rain has been adding its discomfort to the troubles of work- ers on the surface and the boiler room was packed with men, officials making it the headquarters from which instructions were being is- sued. Ne\vshawks and spectators clustered about the one-room struc- ture for the latest word and also in an attempt to get out of the cold and rain.

Scaddlngk younger brother Fred arrived at the mine tonight and im- mediately was permitted totalk through the communication line with his brother.

He expressed his conviction he would see his 44-year old brother before long. He said Alfred and Dr. Robertson were trying to take things as easy as possible and were lcoking forward to being rescued. ,

His brother was in good physical condition. better than he had been even at Tomato a month ago, the 28-year old man said on his arrival. During the war Scadding served with the Canadian Army Medical Corp, Fred said.

SMOKE SIGNALS

He spoke of the smoke signals seen last Monday and Tuesday by men at the surface and said it was the general impression this was Al- fred's work as he was a Boy scout when he was younger.

Miners coming to the surface from the most. advanced section of the Reynolds shaft reported at 10:30 to-

tiny cups produced in great pro- fudlon are pale lilac. shading to yellow in the center with purple spots. It grows only seven inches tall

Blue lobelias with their bushy growth and profuse amount of tiny blossoms are one of the best. Many of them grow only 4 inches high. and continue their sheet of color throughout a long season.

The dwarf eandytufts arc rivals of the alyssum for snowy whiteness as well as providing beautiful shades of lilac and can-mine. The dainty blue, rose and white daisies of the swan River variety, brachy- come. are material for an airy bor- der for more robust plants. and are deserving of more use.

For colored foliage, the golden ball feverfew gives brilliant effect with the rusty miners for gray con- trasts. The tuffed pansies or bed- ding violas are used lavishly in may gardens as edging or carpeting plants. They are more compact in growth than pansies with lonflr stems and more flowers to u plant

They would make no estimate as to how long it would be before they reached Dr. Robertson and scaddlng but expressed the feeling it would not be long.

several miners arrived tonight from Bteliarmn and Westville and ‘mmedir 'y went to work.

The men have tty well cleared up the four or five eat of loose rock they could see ahead of them, Min- ister of Mines Michael Dwyer slid at 11 o'clo& tonight. . Between 18 and 20 feet of loose and solid rock was the only barrier separating the rescue men from the 141-foot level of the main Meagher ahaft. ‘

The men below had reported they could hear the rescue workers dig- ging and knew help was not far off, the mine: minister said.

Mr. Dwyer estimated that under ordinary conditions draegermen could tunnel their way through 20 feet of rock in five hours but it may be considerably Writer in this case.

The Minister of Mines said he was going down the shaft again tomor- mw tuornlng at 3 o'clock and "I am gang to stay down until we get the man up." .

He said the tea import would in. crease the duty on both foreign and Empire tea by twopence. This duty will go into effect tomorrow and the arrangement will preserve the exist- ins preference of twopence‘ on Em- pire tea. He also announced 3 new levy of a pound per barrel on im- ported beer from countries outside the Empire.

Mr. Chamberlain estimated that the ten duly increase would yield 53.500000 (about $17,500,000),

As already has been made known, another £10.000.000 would be requfr. ed for the air force, he continued. Further sums would be needed for tho army and the navy which mo- mentarily he was not able to give exactly. Taking into account the possibilities and probabilities‘. Mr. Chamberlain said he had decided to set aside as margin for lupplemen- tary estimates for the three defence forces another £ao,ooo,ooo,

The Chancellor of the Exchequer declared 'he expected £24a,ooo,ooo (about 31.240.000.000) from income VAX. an increase of about £10.000,000. "VNES it in Possible to come to some agreement upon a. general scheme of disarmament,” Mr. Chamberlain said, "the cost of de- fence is some to rise swiftly during the next few years to a peak and after that it will begin to ‘escend. The lmllortant Point to bear in mind is that it will not descend to the old low level. I think it is clear that we must find additional expen- dltures for the rising cost of main- tenanco out of revenue."

Mr. Chamberlain estimated duties on various commodltlm would yield increased revenue in the 1938-’! year. Some of the -increases he estunated were as follows: A wombile duties, £26.500.000; beer, £l.900.000; tobacco. $000000: oil. £3.ooo.000: silk, 2400.-

On the Import Duties Act he es- timated an increase of £1,400,000 and on the mtawa duties provided for in the Ottawa economic agree- ments f:500.000. "' timated duties from the entertainment tax and from Irish Free state products were less than for those of 1985-6 by 5400.000 apiece. Death duties are expected to yield £89.000.000 and the post office £10.'.'50.000 as before. To- tal inland revenue was estimated at £42o.ooo.ooo.
