Matsqui Merchant Acts Quick And
overs $25 Paid On Cheque

Carl Petterson, giving his address as
Matsqui was committeed for trial in
Mission last week on a charge of pass-
ing worthless cheques. One of the
cheques for $25 was cashed by H. Hurum
Matsqui merchant who quickly ascer-
tained its true value, and compelled
Petterson to refund the cash. Petter-
son, however, according to Police, went
across to Mission and secured $60 on
three additional cheques from Mission
storekeepers, and was arrested by the
provincial constable when he fell into
the Fraser River while intoxicated.

Parent Urges Need Of Boys’ Club Here
Editor, News:

Following up a heart to heart talk
at the Men’s Club, on matters concern-
ing the welfare of our young lads in
this district, it has struck me to ask
if you would throw open the columns
of your paper to make known how bad
is the need of a strong physical and
moral leader. Such a leader as Tommy
Snashall have I in mind.

It is appalling to see the number of
lads between fourteen and seventeen
smoking cigarettes to and from school,
Their pale and pasty faces tell of the
damage being done to their constitu-
tion.

Something should be done to foster
healthy sport, in which a boy knows
that to excell he must keep fit in body.
We have a large hall, used about
twice a month, also four resident
preachers. . It would be real Chris-
tian service to get these lads interested
in athletics, and the formation of a
live boys’ club. PARENT.

| Huntingdon Port Shows Largely
Increased Customs Receipts

Indicating the increasing volume of
traffic across the international border
at Huntingdon are the comparative im-
port dues collected this year to date,
over last year. During 1926 total col-
lections amounted to $11,000, while in
the eight-month period covered from
April 1st to this date, receipts total over
$18,000.

Highway traffic has also amounted
to substantial proportions, six thousand
automobiles haying been cleared this
year to date, the north and south-bound
numbers being practically the same.

Messrs Rive and Thornberry, of the

ment of Agriculture, attended a meet-
ing of Sumas-Matsqui Cow Testing As-
sociation, held at Mr. T. F. Seldon’s,
Clayburn, last Wednesday. Some 20
dairymen were present, and listened
with great interest to discussions upon
the new system of feed recording, value
of a proven sire, methods of milk test-
ing and similar topics by the visitors,

Municipal Elections Just Around Corner
Municipal elections are again in the
offing, and public interest in such mat-
ters is reviving. A three-cornered
reeveship contest is in prospect in Mat-
squi, with Messrs. A. McCallum, W.
Merryfield, and C. O'D. Bell in the
field. No opposition has yet shown to
Councillor Gledhill in Ward 1, but the
other wards will likely provide contests.
A. Boyle and J. Loach are mentioned
jas probable opponents to the present
| councillor in ward two; Mr. C. Good-
child will likely battle Dr. Wood again
for the ward four seat, and H. Fre-
drickson is rumored as considering his
chances against Councillor Mutch in
ward three.
Other than the probable appearance
of Mr. Mike Murphy as reeveship can-
didate against Reeve C. A. Lamson, the
municipal waters are comparatively
calm in Sumas just now, but acclama-
tions are not likely to prevail in the
wards again this year.
