EXTENSIONS AT KILGARD

Extensive enlargement of the Clay-
burn Company’s plant at Kilgard is
now practically certain, Mr. J. W. Ball,
resident manager of the brick manu-
facturing company, reports on his re-
turn from the East, where he has
spent three months in consultation
with major shareholders of his firm.
Mr. Ball's plans, which provide for the
addition of buildings and equipment
costing well on three hundred thous-
and dollars, doubling the capacity of
the Kilgard plant, were given approy-
al, with minor changes, and he is now
awaiting official confirmation of their
adoption.

These plans also include addition of
machinery for the manufacture of pro-
ducts for which there exists a steady

market, but no western source of sup-
ply. Transportation is yet a troublous
problem, in which acquisition of the
G.N.R. Kilgard branch line by the
brick company is but partial solution
It is planned to eliminate the three-
fourths of a mile of trestle which cross-

es the C.P.R. and B.CE. tracks from
the Watson farm, and grade the track
down to the prairie, joining with the
B.CE. A gasoline locomotive will haul
the freight cars. These improvements
are to be effected gradually, so that
no cessation of manufacturing opera-
tions is caused, dismantling of the
Clayburn plant to be balanced by in-
stallations at Kilgard. A force of 125
men will be engaged at Kilgard when
extensions are completed.

Shareholders of the local company
are resident in various parts of the
East, and Mr, Ball's interviews called
him to Toronto, New York, Montreal,
and Chicago, making a return trip

dict and Wattie attended an open

BRICK PLANT NOW

PRACTICALLY CERTAIN, J. W. BALL REPORTS
ON RETURN FROM CONFERANCE IN EAST

‘to the Ontario capital, where the office
of Roger Miller & Sons, controlling
shareholders of the firm, are located.
While in the East, Mr. Ball called
upon Harry J. Barber, M.P., and found
that gentlemen busy at his desk, as
was to be expected. He also inspected
the wonderful asbestos mines of the
Asbestos Corporation in Quebec, and
was impressed by the magnitude of
that concern’s operations,

Mrs. Ball accompanied her husband
to the East, and while they saw much
of interest, they return well satisfied
with Pacific Coast climate and indus-
trial conditions.

Mrs. Lait is contemplating starting
@ class in singing and voice culture for
children here. Other than the artistic
training, children would benefit ey us

fans, and many parents may aguptless
regard this as of first value, Those in-
terested are invited to communicate
with Mrs. Lait.

Lady Resents Customs Officers’
Inquiries
Editor News:

I would just like the party that sent
the Customs Officers up to my place
to see the coat and hat that I was
supposed to smuggle in from Belling-
ham; that they described the hat all
wrong. I happened to get that in
Vancouver two weeks ago. It is brown
straw, not any blue on it at all, and
you are too late about the coat, be-
cause I got that last fall from a Van-
couver firm; so better luck next time.
Maybe the next one you try to frame
you might hit right.

Community Workers—And
Community Parasites

MRS. R.

It used to be frequently said in
smaller towns, that it is the business of
a good citizen to mind his own busi-
ness, keep out of debt and avoid break-
ing laws. It was commonly thought
that if he did that, it was about all
that could be expected of him, and he
was conforming to the ideals of good
citizenship.

But a community's development can-
not be promoted in these times on any
such limited basis. The fact that so
many small town people still have this
spirit, and expect to get along without
doing anything particular to boost com-
munity movements, is one of the prin-
cipal reasons why some towns do not
get ahead faster.

Some must take hold and carry on the
work of churches and fraternal
societies. Some of the men with a
special head for business need to work
in some organization for the com~-
mercial“and other needed development

There is something that each one
should do and we must take hold todo

People should not act as if they were

a little of their time to such purposes.
We should love our home town so
