Thirteen Years of Progress
“@

ON the third of February, 1922,

the first three-element vacuum

tube made in Canada was manu-
factured in the Montreal Plant of
the Northern Electric Company,
Limited. This was a repeater tube
for telephone use, and was followed
in May by the “Peanut”, the radio
receiving tube known from coast to
coast, and beyond, as the “Necro-
mantic Bottle of the Age”. Today,
one hundred and forty standardized
types of radio vacuum tubes are
manufactured in Canada, not to
mention those used for telephone
communication and other purposes,

Above, the peanut tube is shown

beside a rule for coniparison. ‘The
bottom picture shows H. A. Robin-
son, Northern Electric Radio En-
gineer, showing to a fair visitor one
of the new 35,000 watt water cooled

smitting tubes used in Canada’s

newest and most powerful Broad-
casting Station CKhY in Winnipeg.
This tube equals the combined out-
put of more than 12,000,000 peanut
tubes; which serves to illustrate the
gigantic steps which science has
made in the past thirteen years.

CHILLIWACK BOARD OF TRADE
INVITING INDIGENT SETTLERS?
Editor News:

What happened to the Board of
Trade in regards to destitute settlers
coming into the district? I have in
the last few days found that there
are six or seven families that have
been cut off from relief in Matsqui
municipality by the government dis-
claiming the responsibility and telling
them that if they apply to the muni-
cipal office that their fare will be
paid back to Saskatchewan. The
government investigator sat in a coun-
cil meeting last week and instructed
the reeve and council not to give any
assistance whatever.

What the Matsqui unemployed
would like to know is can we get the
support of the Board-of ‘Trade and
any others interested to help these
people.

Their stand is that “we were given
to understand that if they were citi-
zens of the country that no matter
where they lived they were entitled to
relief.”
One man claims that he thad been
touch with the Chilliwack Board
of Trade while in Saskatchewan
since 1931, and their advice to him
was to come to B.C, and they would
help all they couid and adyised him
what implements to bring.

This man had been receiving help
while in Saskatchewan and the Chil-
liwack Bard of Trade gave ‘all kinds
of glowing accounts of ‘B.C. and ad-
vised him to come to B.C,, and after
getting them here leave it to some-
one else to look after them.

The same people have been offer-
ed transportation back to Saskatche-
wan, which amounts to $300. They
told the government investigator to
give us the $300 and we won't bother
you any more. He claimed he heard
the same from all classes of farmers,
so I say come on the Board of Trade
and see that every farmer in country
get the $300.

RACKETEERS IN MUSIC
“Racketeers in Music” is apt title of
a lengthy comment by R. Jamieson,
music critic of the Vancouver Pro-
vince, upon the “mushroom” music
schools which are spring up all
over the country. The point is well
taken and is a note of warning to all
parents. He says “,...it is believed
there is at present operating in this
Dominion glib-tongued persons who
are conducting the teaching of music
on an elaborate and questionable
wholesale scale. My information is
that this oily brigade makes all sorts.
of ‘promises—anything to get pupils—
and that thus far it has met with sur-
prising financial success. It is also al-
leged that parents of children taking
lessons from this “outfit are obliged to
sign specially framed contracts bind-
ing the transaction which, be it noted,
perhaps makes it impossible for the
signer to escape his obligation.”
“Shun the person who says ‘If
you send your child to me I will gu-
arantee to make him play the piano
like an artist in six months.’ That is
the worst sort of drivel and yet far
too many parents accept it, and from
those who know they are straying
from the truth. No, my dear readers,
all the smooth flowing phrases in the
world will never make a fine artist.
‘Talent, industry and honesty only will
accomplish the objective. Again let
me warn all parents and students—
Beware of the flatte: !

THEYRE “TAKING IT” TOO

hhasn’t been depressed during the

SPORT IFTINGS

Last Thursday evening Matsqui de
feated the Mill lineup by a 19-14
score. Matsqui played well, but 1

bobbles by mill men proved costly,

The two Abbotsford teams, Atan-
gard and Slim's met Friday night,
the latter winning by a 7-4 score. I.
Forrest, heaving for the hotel boys
was nicked for a flock of hits in the
opening cantos, when Slim’s piled up
their lead.

Matsqui uncorked a flock of power
drives Monday evening to swamp the
“Slim’s" Abbotsford team by a 16-6
score. Herlihey pitched a steady game
for the winners, whose “big guns’—

Brooks’ Simpson, Adams,—had the
Abbotsford outfield backing up all
evening.

The Atangard squad journeyed to

Peardonyille Tuesday evening, where
they took the “stump-ranch” boys into

Abbotsford Softh:
One to Vancouver ‘Team

First Sunday exhibition softball
game took place at the week-end, with
Abbotsford sharing honors with the
city visitors—Castle Hotel.

The first game was won handily by
Abbotsford. Smashing out a barrage
of hits they finished at. the long end
of a 16-6 score. Although the hotel
boys tried two pitchers, Abbotsford
played tip-top ball and maintained
their lead throughout.

The second encounter was differ-
ent, however. Using their speedball
ace chucker, Baldwin, the Castle
Hotel boys “bore down” and squeez-
ed a win by 3 runs to 2.

llers Win One, Lose

Although introducing much new
blood into the all-star line-up, Ab-
botstord were just as good as ever
on the diamond, but their hitting
power is not quite as strong as of
yore. However, the steady pitching
of rank Forrest and the excellent
support given him, foretell many in-
teresting Sunday games.

YOUNGSTERS “SHOW HOW”
Anglers of Mission, Abbotsford and
Sumas districts report poor catches at
the week-end, the competition over at
the north-shore, engaged in by ten
local and city contestants, showing a
meagre creel or two of trout. Tiring
of listening to their dads alibis, two
little girls of Sumas Prairie tried their
luck in the canal on Sunday, return-
ing home two hours later with ten
lovely sea trout, a 14-inch cut-throat,
and several chub and squaw-fish.
Disdaining the finer ethics of line-
angling last week, an Abbotsford Wal-
tonite hied to the Fraser with a large
net, returning at evening with 620
pounds of oolichans.
