D.. Adam N. Beattie, surgeon of the Canadian Pacific liner Empress of Japan, and his ship’s nurse, Miss Margaret Grant Allan, who are showm here, performed two delicate operations during the ship’s round trip to the Far Wast, yia Honolulu, just completed in Vancouver. On the outward trip, between Honolulu and Yokohama, the liner’s huge turbines were stilled for nearly an hour while Dr. Beattie removed a ruptured duodenal ulcer from a Chinese passenger. On

the homeward trip, between Hong

operations little different hospitals.

Sumas Audit Completed

Auditor W. Griffiths completed his examination of the fiscal affairs of Sumas municipality this week, and submitted his schedules to the Reeve for circulatien to ratepayers, It is expected that the annual report will be available by Monday, nomination day.

Reports In Circulation This Issue

By working an all-night shift the printers have produced the Report, incorporated in The News for circu- lation in this issue, enabling all rate- payers to peruse it before nomination day.

It will be noted that expenditures jin wards three and four were consid- erably less than in 1935, when the to- tal was almost $10,000, of which over $2500 was spent upon“Sumas Moun- tain road and $1,700 upon the Town Hill on Vedder Mountain. Last year’s expenditures in wards one and two were approximately the same as the year previously.

While the Mlabilities of 1936 show a bank loan of $23,432 for school bus purchase, and $11,138 of accounts payable as against $7,499 for the year previously, the surplus account is higher ($206,361 as compared with $199,587 for year 1935). The assets of the municipality, including $3322 cash on hand, are listed at almost a quarter-million dollars.

Ratepayers will note with satisfac- tion that general expenses are main- tained at a reasonable level, approxi-

$11,443.37 as against $11,690.87. Relief Costs Higher

Tax receipts are $27,449 as com- pared with $27,058 for 1935, while in the miscellaneous revenues will be noted an amount of $4,328 for direct j relief. In 1935 the sum received for this purpose was $149. It is a matter of satisfaction to Sumas that the dis- trict is not afflicted with a heavy re- lef problem yet, although the Sumas

At an organigation meeting held in the school auditorium on Monday evening, 50 persons en- rolled for the classes. ‘We expect to make this a real physical training centre’ Mr, Kozoolin informed The News today. The elementary classee will be instructed in light apparatus work, group games, fundamentaF gymnastics and folk dancing.

A schedule has been drawn up pro- viding for classes of pupils from Ab- botsford, Matsqui and possibly Mt. Lehman high sechools and Upper Su- mas elementary schools, in the after- nosns. A special teachers’ class will be held on Thursdays, and the adult classes will be held as follows: Ab- botsford ladies, Monday and Thurs- day evenings, 7.30-9; Matsqui ladles, Tuesday evening; Sumas ladies, Wed- nesday evening; Abbotsford men, Monday and Thursday evenings, 9- 10.30; Matsqui men, Tuesday evening; Sumas men, Wednesday evening. Ar application for an adult class has been received from Mission.

The classes are entirely free, and anyone may enroll by attending at the auditorlum when the classes are in session.

reclamation settlement has always been a comparative anxiety.

Sheep Loss To Dogs $700

One item in general payments will arrest attention—the sum of $703.55 for sheep claims, Predatory dogs have caused loss in Sumas in previous years, but 1935 appears to be the hea- viest.

The ward tables are all presented in full detail, and the newspaper dis- tribution will bring Sumas’ important fiscal information right into the rate- payers’ homes for convenient study. Further copies of the report are ar- ailable at and are being mailed from the municipal office.

The infant son of Reey and Mrs. A- Hougen is fully recovered from an attack of pneumonia.
