Humane Society Reward C.P.R. Hero

in recognition of his heroic action when at great personal risk he rescued
I a lady from being crushed under a tramear, Joseph Tammaro, clerk and
stenographer in the Investigation Department of the Canadian Pacific
Railway, had been presented with a certificate of the Royal Canadian
“Humane Association in the offices of the department at Windsor street. R

The presentation was made by Brig-General E. de B. Panet, chief of
the department of Investigation who in handing over the parchment to Mr.
Tammaro stated the whole department was proud to think he had so dis-
tinguished himself at the risk of his life for an entire stranger. It was a very
galant action and one that they all admired, :

Mr. Tammaro in reply said he would not hesitate to repeat it if the
occasion ‘arose. 1 ‘

The accident occurred in July 1923 on St. Catherine street. A lady
crossing the thoroughfare fell on the tramear tracks as a car was approaching.
The conductor had no time to pull up and\she would have been run over,
but for the presence of mind of Mr. Tammmaro who dragged her to safety at
the cost of spraining his ankle. "

SHOWS SNUG BALANCE

Acoording to the annual financial re-
port of the Village of Abbotsford, the
organized village community has liquid
assets to the value of $4,448. Of this
total, the sum of 5 lies to the ¢re-
dit of the Village in the jJocal bank.
idewalks and similar fixed property
ig not listed among the assets, so in
a computation of the worth of the in-
eorporation’s properties, these should
be estimated Other than the cash on
hand listed as assets are: property $300
office equipment $300, arrears of taxd3
$537. It is also shown that the Vil-
lage has expended $1,257 on roads and
sidewalks during the past year, clean-
ed up some smaller organization costs,
and donated $166 to the M.S.A. hospital

A conservative estimate would place
the actual cash value of our village co-
operativebusiness at $8,000 to $9,000,
—acquired in less than two years.

At this time it is fitting to observe
upon the careful, yet progressive atti-
tude of the Council’s Chairman, E. Web-
ster, consistently maintained in every
detail of Village civic affairs. As pro-
moter of the water scheme, which he
is convinced will serve its purpose well,
Commissioner Higginson deserves ack-
nowledgement of his conscientious ef-
forts, and also for the spirit of unsel-
fish service that prompts him to give
personal attention and elosely supervise
all work delegated to him.

Economy has been the keynote of our
village administration, so much so,, that
criticism has arisen in some quarters
reference being directed to the stan
ing cash balance always at the Corpora-
tion’s elbow. But it will be found that
the surplus is none too large with which
to commence the program mapped-out
for the coming term.

who died recently at the age of
ninety-nine. His son, Sir George
MacLaren Brown, European manager
for the Canadian Pacific Railways,
was unable to attend the funeral as
he was touring continental Europe

Adam Brown was prominently con-

and Pacific Junction Railway he
helped pave the way for the entry of
the Canadian Pacific Railway into
Ontario via its Montreal and Ottawa
line. The Northern and Pacific
Junction was the connecting link in
the extension. Mr. Brown in 1886
was one of those who travelled on the

BARBER ASKS AID FOR DAIRY
AND POULTRY INDUSTRIES

We have just read over the Hansard
report of Harry Barber’s maiden speech
in the Ottawa “ouse, and it is certain-
ly a most crediable overture, surpris-
ingly lucid for a new member not train
ed in oratory. Mr. Barber directed a
special appeal to farmers on the oppo:

tion side and in the Progressive party
to give some relief to the dairy and
poultry industries of the country, which

he produced facts and figures to show
were on the verge of ruin at the present
time.

Our parliamentary representative did
not spare the trade tr ies between
Canada and the Antipodes, and was
able impress his listeners with the fact
that the recent large shipment of New
Zealand butter had resulted in an im-
mediate drop in price here of three
cents a pound. With other shipments
en route he prophesied swamping and
Tuination of the home market. New
Zealand, he pointed out, had a Favoured
climate and a short stabling season,
and put its butter
into British Columbia in competition
with our winter-made butter.

The address covers about three pages
of Hansard, and we would like to print
it all verbatim. Whatever their political
complexion, residents of this riding may
be assured that Ottawa will learn that

MANAGER AND SECRETARY OF
LUMBER COMPANY WITHDRAW

Purchase of S. D. Trethewey’s inter-
est in the Abbotsford Lumbe Mining
& Development Company was effected
on Saturday by J. O. Trethewey, senior
shareholder of the concern. Mr. S, D.
Trethewey left today to inspect his in-
terests in the Interior and at Pincher
Creek, Alberta, and it is expected that
engage in actively developing
one of these.

Another change in the executive per-
sonnel is pending because of the resig-
nation of J. A. MeGowan, secretary of
the company, Mr. MeGowan joined
the staff of the local company almost
17 years ago, coming here from New
Westminster. His plans for the imme-
diate future are indefinite, but he ex-
pects to leave for Vancouver at the
end of the month.

Mr. J. O. Trethewey is taking over
active management of the local indus-
try, which he states he will retain so
long as timber is Available.

uring the coming winter carnival in Banff, the
mornings will be set aside to entertain visitors,
afternoons and evenings for the events. In former winter
carnivals in Banff 50 many events were crowded into a
week as to preclude visitors from taking part in the fun
themselves. This year, the committee met the wishes of
the visitors by extending the annual event to cover two
weeks, from February 8 to February 17 inclusive,
