First Communion
for children
at Alkali Lake

A large crowd of people gath-
ered at St. Theresa’s Church,
Alkali Lake Indian Reserve, on
Sunday to witness the children’s
first Communion. Mother’s Day
was a very happy occasion for
the nine children, five girls and
four boys, who received Holy
Communion for the first time.

Father Casey congratulated
the Homemakers’ Club and the
men for their fine work in re-
decorating the church, The
Homemakers’ Club was formed
last year by the women of the
reserve and is headed by Mrs.
Alfred Harry.

put on a concert and marching
display. This 22-piece drum and

William Robert Twan, David

ley Chelsea, Edna Johnson,
Doreen Dick, Margret Dick and
Agnes Wycotte.

BEVERAGE, ANDHE GIRL DRINKS A FRESH -
NN THE BEAROTHAL B AHKOUNGD,

An offer to purchase the city-
owned buildings at Exhibition
Park and the adjacent park

area was made verbally at city
council Wednesday by Mr.
Chowen and a delegation of
three members of the co-opera-
tive association, T. A. Bulman,
Ralph Devick and Reg Hook.

The property covers the
buildings presently leased by
the B.C. Beef Cattle Growers,
in which the cattle sales are
held, the stockyards, the old
civic arena in which a lease is|
being finalized for 10 acres of
park area which include a race
track, eight acres of grassed
infield and large grandstand.

The establishing of the per-
manent marketing headquart-
ers in Kamloops would provide
an industry which would distri-
bute approximately $3,000,000
annually in Kamloops and the
surrounding areas, Mr. Chowen |
said.

LARGE PAYROLL |

Mr. Chowen told the council
that in addition there would be
a payroll of about $35.000 to
$40,00 a year and the purchase
of supplies and sundry services
would be for the most part made
in Kamloops.

The plan for the park area is
a long-term development and
possibly would not be required
for at-least five years and the
park area could be used for rec-
reation purposes until that time,
said Mr. Chowen.

He added that the purchase
of the buildings and grounds
would require satisfactory ar-
rangements being made with the
B.C. Beef Cattle Growers in re-
spect to their leasehold.

“We do not anticipate any
difficulty in this regard,” said
Mr. Chowen.

Accidents top
cause of deaths
in under-40's

CORONADO, CALIF. — Acci-
dents will cause four out of
every 10 deaths in the under-40
age group this year, according
to Jack Pickering of Lac La
Hache, local representative of
Mutual of New York.

Mr. Pickering, who has been
attending a regional conference
of the company’s National Field
Club here, said MONY’s mortal-
ity tables show that traffic and}
other accidents caused 40 per-
cent of the deaths among the
company’s policy-holders in this
age group. The number of
deaths, however, was 12 percent
below the 1957 total, he said.

He also noted that cancer—
and tuberculosis—caused deaths
among policy-holders in all age
groups decreased in 1958, but
“‘there were increases in almost
every other cause-of-death cate-
gory.

“Heart and circulatory dis-
eases,” he said, “remained the
number one Killer last year,
accounting for more than 63 per-
cent of the deaths among MONY
policy-holders. Cancer, which
caused 15 percent of the deaths,
ranked second,

Mr. Pickering placed among
the top one-third of MONY’s
3,500 underwriters last year in

sales production. He and other
company sales leaders were in-
vited to the Coronado sessions to
become familiar with recent de-
sales pro-

velopments in MONY’s
gram.

Canada lagging
in fertilization
of forest crop

Fertilization of Canadian for-
ests for increased tree produc-
tion may become as common
some day as the fertilization of
our crops. f

G. R. Snyder, technical ser-
vice manager of the agricultural
chemicals division of Canadian
Industries Ltd., said that grow-
ing trees, like any crop, remove
large quantities of nutrients
from the soid, which requires
replenishment.

Mr. Snyder maintained that
one-quarter of all forest land is
in poorly stocked condition and
that more than one-third of all
commercial forest land is in!
medium or poor productivity: |

“The old belief that the
humus which constitutes the top
layer of forest soil is rich in all |
plant nutrients st becoming
a myth.” he said. “ Laboratory
have shown that many for-
s are deficient in nitrogen
a lesser degree, in phos-

est 5
and, to
phate, potash and a number of
minor elements like carbon and
magnesium.”

Experiments in Quebec during
the last four years by C-I-L in

co-operation with the Quebec
Provincial Tree Nursery, Cana-
dian International Paper and the
Southern Canada Power Com-
vany, showed that young trees
grown in nurseries on fertilized
plots were much healthier and
grew faster than trees on un-
fertilized check plots. At the
Harrington forest farm of Cana-
dian International Paper, a cul-
tivated fertilized plot of hybrid
poplars grey to a height of 21
feet in three years. .

Canada, Mr. Sydner felt, has
been lagging behind other coun-
tries in research into forest fer-
tilization. In the United States,
Germany, the Netherlands and
Japan, there has been a wide-
spread awakening to the fact]
that there will be an increasing |
demand for forest products and |
that natural growth, eventually,
will not keep up with this de-
Japanese foresters are
currently working on a tree-
fertilization project which is
expected to speed up the growth
of red pipne for pulping to
usable size from the normal 30-
year period to 20 years.

“Tt has been predicted that
in Canada the-demand on our
