Editor News: ‘ aan

Mr, George Williams, forme’ sid-
e! » United Farmers of Canada,
Saavat Hs i section, has arranged &

vouched for by the Executive. The only
part that Kilgard has in it is to play
the game according to tho rules laid
down by the Executive in the meetings
and by the rules of the referees in the
field.

He goes on to say that goal average
will Kill football in the Valley as no
team can keep at full strength. I would
like to know how he figures out that
Kilgard will be the only team immune
to these conditions. Anyhow it is a
Constitutional law of League games,
making them different from cup-ties.
(Remember a cup-tle Is settled by goal
average also, but a drawn gamo is a
re-play, not so in a league.)

Then, about the men they have laid
out and injured this season and last,
and won the game on knock-outs, 1
like that, Its good. Its a wonder there
are any men left in the Valley able to
carry on. As a matter of fact, Kilgara
by a wide margin, the lightest team
in the Association, and have had their
share of accidents, they have had four
men on the injured list this season, who
have lost work through this, but we
surely expect these things to happen
here as well as any place else where
football fs played.

Unfortunately it is not like a game
of whist, fthese things happen, and
nearly always, no one can help it, but
{ am quite willing to bet that the per-
centage of accidents in the field here is
yery much below the B. C. F. A.,
it is one of the necessities of football
anywhere to provide for an injured
players fund.

However, this letter writing never
did do any good for the game, anyway
you like to take it, unless we cut out
the argument part of it and talk some-
thing constructive.

Following is the record of the league
last season:

A LEGIONNAIRE

Urges B. C. Police For Sumas

To the Editor;

Taking a cursory view over the pre-
election addresses given through the
"| valley in the different municipalities,
I notice economy programs are going to
be the rule for 1932. This in view of
decreased grants promised by the gov-
ernment is as it should be. Sumas, I
believe stands alone as an example to
the contrary, as the Council have de-
clared themselves in favor of increas-
ing their indemnities; this, notwith-
standing the fact that need of re.
has been stressed, by way of mora-
torium, or revision of taxation, by the
majority of prairie landowners, and the
sum of $15,000, last year’s taxes, still
to be collected. I'm airaid the attitude
taken by the Council will not help the
applicants any.

HOSPITAL SWEEPSTAKES
Editor News:

Ireland and Newfoundland are in a
fair way to having their hospitals en-
dowed for ali time. What a blessing !
'To know that the suffering, the sorrow
the loss, will not be added to by the
cost! Except for a very few exclusive

ing ;they must be paid for by tanation
continuous, never “paid in full”.

The only two faults with ordinary
sweepstakes are the possibilities of
fraud in the drawings and the ticket-
selling. If the drawing is done under

id) Government supervision and the tick-

ets sold by Post Offices, these faults
would be eliminated. No one is forced
to buy a sweepstake ticket, yet every-
one is at liberty to do so. If legalized,
no one should be allowed more than
one ticket. The expense of fifty cents
or a dollar harms nobody. But whata
relief to patients and public. Sweep-
stakes at least savor of liberty, while
taxation savours of force.

ted having to collect it. In a time like
the present when work is very scarce
and intermittent, it seems hard that,
perhaps the first few dollars a man
earns for a time should be wrung from
him for taxes. Quite a few are mar-
ried men, with families and they cer-
tainly should not be subjected to
hounding and squeezing to get the last
‘cent. Ninety per cent of this tax is
obtained direct from employers any-
how, so.on that showing it costs more
to collect the last 10 per cent than the
tax amounts to. The Reeve entirely
ignores the great advantage of co-
operation; what this means was exem-
plitied two weeks ago. A juvenile de-
linquent left home with about $200 of
his guardian's money; the local con-
stable called in the ald of the B. C.
Police; a few wires were tapped; it
was discovered he had taken a ticket
for Ontario; he was taken off the train
at Kamloops and returned home; this
could not have veen done without the
aid of Kamloops police, The question
arose as to wether a special man was
needed for Sumas, as that would mean
$700 more than the present system. It
seems to nie that two men stationed
permanentiy in Abbotsford should be
able to give Sumas all the protection
it needs; indeed, they already patrol
the main road and with all due defer-
ence to the Reeye’s opinion, I still hold
that 300 per annum can be saved on
police uecount.

Elections Vote Of Confidence

Editor of The News;

Now that the elections are over ag-
ain for @ year, We ure able to see that,
although Umes were hurd and every-
body inclined to be aisgruntied over
everthing and everybody, the ratepay-
ers expressed what was Virtually a fal
of contidence in the Sumas and Mats-
qui councils. in both districts there
was only one change in @ ward, and
the others were returned with definite
majorities or by acclamation. In Mats-
qui School Board it was w bit ulffe
ent with two new men elected. But
what I would like to point out 1s this:
the ratepayers, with a few exceptions,
realize that there will always be cri-
ticism of public officials, that the cri-
Ucs themselves get just as much cri-
ticism levelled at them when they take
office, and that when a district gets a
reasonable good Council or School
Board, a change may easily be for the
worse ,

that our ratepayers’ association, as any
