Talkies To Have _ Chinese Dialect

(Canadian Press) VICTORIA, Nov, 30——It may be

difficult but it's going to be done, l,‘

according to Charles S. Rosselot, secretary of Bong Kong amuse- merits.

Chinese are tired of listening to foreign language talking pictures and then having to sit through old type silent pictures when their fclloiv-couiitrymen appear on the silver screen. '

But they won‘t have to put up with that more than six months more says Itosselot, whose com- paiiy controls 40 theatres in the Orient. The Chinese tongue soon will be heard from the screen though it may be difficult to con- tend with ull the difficult dialects and the necessity of curtailing s. dialogue so the film may by flown at one performance.

Workers Over 65

(Canadian Press)

CALGARY, Nov. 30—-Retlrement of all men on reaching the age of 65, years was urged by Frank Newnhum in an address to the Probus Club here on "The Modern Edition of Utopia." He contended all work should be done by young men and the pension _for men over 60 or 05 years could be raised by sweepstakes.

If economic stress continues, said Mr. Newnham, serious trouble might be anticipated in 1935 or thereabouts. “People today consist of two classes, those on relief and those who work," he said. "The past three years have witnessed s. com- plcte reversion of the ides. thrift and honesty are their own reward."

Within two years this airline plans to set out upon oceanic schedules a fleet of four-motored, all metal, monoplane "clipper ships."
