Taylor, and well known in newspaper and sport circles for many years, died of pneumonia at his home, 212 Third Avenue, early Sunday morn- ing. “Dave” Taylor, as he was fam- iliarly known to all his friends, was born in Victoria in 1898 at a time when his father was connec- ted with the Daily Colonist, The family moved to New ‘Westmin- ster in 1900 when J. D. Taylor, later federal member for the dis- trict and still later appointed Canadian Senator, assumed charge of “The British Columbian.” Educated at the Central Schools, Duke of Connaught High School and University of British Colum- bia, “Dave” Taylor practically grew up with printer’s ink. He was an athlete in his day, played bas- ketball with Varsity, field lacrosse with the old senior amateur club, winners of the Mann Cup, and wrote articles for his paper. Dave Taylor was a well known figure in the paddocks at Lans- downe and Brighouse where he followed “The Sport of Kings” and two years ago was offered a po- sition as judge at the Washington tracks which he declined. Besides his wife, one young son, and his father, Senator Taylor, surviving are his two sisters, Miss Dorothy Taylor on the editoria} staff of the Taylor paper, and Miss “Babs” Taylor at home. The funeral was held Tuesday at 2:30 p.m. from Holy Trinity Cathedral, New Westminster, to the Church of England cemetery with Rev. J. Burton Thomas of- ficiating. AUTO PRODUCTION AT HIGHEST POINT FOR THREE YEARS Automobile production in Can- ada in November reached the high- est point since June, 1937, at a total of 23,621 units against 21,151 in October and 16,756 in November of last year.

Nev was there a time when so many owed so much to so few. Let us all here in Canada, living in ¢omparitive safety, Let us be ready to make the winning of the war our greatest ean stop us from doing our bit. Let us hope that this new year, # year when peace will return to this old world; when man, who is man’s worst enemy, will bring about a lasting peace in' a world where an effort equal to the present war effort will be made to promote labor, tr. in all parts of the world so that all men will have an oppor- tunity to work and build a new and better order of life, from the horrors and the aftermath of the curse of war. New Year's Day is a call to ‘try again.’ It is never too late to make another attempt. The old slogan, “a man may be down but he is never out,’ is still an apt one for this New Year. So New Year should be a challenge to us to never give up. It is characteristic of the highest spirit of man that he can never be conquered. He can fight against great odds with his back to the wall and come out victorious. I believe the lines of William Ernest Henley are good for us all to read at the beginning of this new year. “Out of the night that covers me, Black as the pit from pole to pole, I thank what gods may be For my unconquerable soul. In the fell clutch of circumstance I have not winced or cried aloud, Beneath the bludgeonings of chance My head is bloody but unbowed. It matters not how strait the gate, How charged with punishment the scroll, I am the master of my fate, or the successes of the past. It of men and nations, and the up- are God's gift to mankind, in er in the age of human conflict not forget are being made in other places. a spirit of co-operation nothing 1941, just before us, will ade and industry and exchange free of my soul.” MOVE TO STRENGTHEN N. Y. C. MILK ORDER The U.S. Agricultural Depart- ment has announced proposed amendments to the Federal-State milk marketing order for the New York metropolitan market which will be submitted to milk produc- ers for their approval or rejection in a mail referendum. Secretary Claude Wickard esti- mates the amendments, if approv- ed, would bring the producers an increased net return of about 8 eents a hundred pounds for all milk sold over what they would othenwise receive under existing terms of the order. Mr. Wickard described the amendments as “a major step toward placing the Federal-State milk orders in the New York milk market on a stronger and more permanent basis.” ROYAL BLACKS INSTALL NEW OFFICERS The installation meeting of the Royal Black Preceptory No. 378 was held in the Orange Hall, Ab- botsford, on Wednesday, Dec. 18.
