(2) Empress of Scotland, on which the new Governor-General sailed for Canada. ord Willingdon, recently appoint- ed Governor-General of Canada to succeed Lord Byng, received a hearty welcome to Canadian shores at Quebec City, where he and Lady Willingdon arrived at the beginning of October on the Canadian Pacific liner Empress of Scotland. They proceeded to Rideau Hall, Ottawa, the official residence of the King’s representative in Canada. The news of the appointment of Lord Willing- don to the highest representative post in Canada has been accorded widespread approval both in Canada and in the Mother Country, and his arrival to Canadian shores has been greatly anticipated. That this an- ticipation has been mutual was con- ‘irmed by Lord Willingdon in an in- lew with the Press on-board the ress Of Scotland, just prior to her departure for Canada. “My experiences in Canada in earlier years were exceedingly pleas- ant, and I am looking forward with very much pleasure to my stay in Canada,” Lord Willingdon stated. “TI understand that a great part of the governor-general’s duties is to get about the Dominion and see the ee A 1-Day Tra with motion pictures, country for himself, and I am looking forward to many ~ opportunities in this direction.” In 1913 Lord Willingdon was ap- pointed Governor of Bombay, an ap- pointment which he held until 1919, when he was appointed Governor of Madras. He returned from India in 1924.- That his tenure of office in India was most popular was confirm- ed by the Diwan, an official poten- tate of the Indian Government who has recently been visiting in Canada and who opened the National Exhibi- tion at Toronto this fall. The Diwan, a former Premier of the Co- chin State of Southern India, became closely connected with Lord Willing- don regarding administrative mat- ters. In tribute to Lord Willingdon the Diwan stated recently: “I am sentative in Canada will prove yery popular, His administrative ability was yery highly regarded throughout India, He was Governor of Madras when the popular reformed system of government, a modified system of home rule, was established,” London bade a fond farewell to this popular English nobleman, when they left Waterloo Station for the Empress of Scotland. His Majesty the King waserepresented by Vis- count Hambleden: @ Lieut.Col. L. C. Amery, Secretary of State for Do- minion Affairs, was present. Premier Baldwin was represented by Lt.ol. Sir Ronald Waterhouse.

SS EEEEEEEECaSarcaEEEEeme Celebrating opening of bird season, a dance is announced for Friday next in the Bridge Pavilion, Sumas Prairie; a five-piete orchestra from Vancouver will play. Mr. Creelman of Vancouver has been visiting friends on Sumas Prairie. The infant son of Mr. and Mrs, J. MeLean of Huntingdon is seriously ill. Regular meeting of Upper Sumas W.I. will be held at Mrs. M. Fadden’s om Thursday afternoon, One of his best pictures at the Ab- botsford theatre on Saturday A concerted agitation for paving of the Yale road materializes as the result of an important meeting to discuss the project, called by Aldergrove Elks’ lodge in Aldergrove Community Hall last night. That the entire Fraser Valley from Ghilliwack to New West- minster is in active accord with the movement became evident by the at- tendance of representatives of every municipality and practically all Boards of Trade in this Valley concerned in the project. Heading the New Westminster representation was Mayor Annandale, he being accompanied by L, B. LusBy, president of the Associated Boards of Trade of the Fraser Valley, Thos. Trapp president of New Westminster Board of Trade, Harvey Streight, manager B.-K, Milling Co., H. M. Wilson, manager of Royal Bank, New Westminster, J. Has- oll, R, O. Fenton and other prominent public men of the Royal City. Abbots- ford and Huntingdon Trade Boards were represented by N. Hill and C. Lam- son, Sumas municipality by Reeve Lam- son, Councillors Frith and Bolster, Mat- squi municipality by Councillor Gledhill and Clerk LeFeuvre, Abbotsford muni- cipality by Olerk Hayes, Langley mun- leipality by Reeve Poppy, Chilliwack by Mr. Cowley and members of the Board of Trade there, H, Beetlestone, ‘SS. Campbell and several other leaders of the Aldegroye B.P.O.E. representing ;Aldergrove—an attendance of not léss than 200 men prominent in the public affairs of their home communities. Elks Lodge Called Meeting Preceding appointment of Reeve Poppy to the chair, H. Beetlestone ex- plained why Aldergrove Elks lodge ex- ercised initiative in calling the meeting. He outlined the many salient reasons, so well known to residents here, that made this a particularly opportune time to inauguarte such a movement, and read for considération of the meeting a suggested resolution embodying a re- quest from the government for paving of the Yale road from Serpentine Flats to Chilliwack, 2 Reeve Poppy of Langley heartily en- dorsed the movement in a brief speech before calling upon Mayor Annandale for an expression of the attitude of New Westminster in the matter. Mr, Annandale first emphasized’ the recognized policy of New Westminster residents to help their neighbors in the Fraser Valley ‘‘for in helping them we are helping ourselves’’ he said. He ex- pressed warm approval of the action of Aldergrove Elks in inaugurating the movement, which he considered yery timely. Granting the high monetary Value of the tourist traffic, he suggest- ed, however, that the Value of such a paving project to permanent resident of the valley—‘‘our own people’’— shoul be stressed in any petition to the government, It was more important, Mr. Annandale pointed out, to link up the provinces ‘of Canada than to pro- vide auto roads solely for attraction of our American cousins. He was sure the government would give serious at- tention to the petition, and he pledged the whole-hearted support of New Westminster in the movement. Twelve Miles To Aldergrove Unpaved As Associated Boards of Trade presi- dent, Mr. Lusby, who spoke next, was able to give illuminating information upen the government’s attitude towards recommendations made by the business VALLEY DISTRICTS UNITE IN PETITION FOR CEMENT PAVING OF YALE ROAD organizations. A log of the unpaved section of the Yale road from Serpen- tine flats pavement intersection had been taken by his party that night, and it showed but 12 miles of graveled road to the meeting place at Aldergrove. The difference in cost of upkeep of an average car operating over the usual macadamized road was 2 cents per mile higher than over pavement, he estimat- ed. The Yale road he considered the main arterial highway of this province, and it according carried more traffic than any other trunk highway. Were the Yale road paved, he said, thousands of Canadian motorists, who now habit- ually travel down across the line be- cause of pavement, there to spend their money, would instead find in the Fra- ser Valley an auto route of infinite scenic charm, He was prepared to pledge his official and personal support to the movement and would urge upon Dr. Rothwell, provincial member for New Westminster, to do the same, Says Road Will Be In Bad SHape Soon Mr. Trapp also spoke, assuring those present that New Westminster Board of Trade would also get busy in the matter With the big stages and freight trucks operating over the Yale road, and the doubled traffic, he prophesied that in the event of heavy frosts, the Valley residents would be in the same predic- ament as they were in the early days, with the highway in almost impassable condition. Touching upon the yalue of good roads to agricultural settlers, as also their as- set in consideration of tourists, N. Hill voiced Abbotsford’s attitude in the project, which was hearty accord. He asserted that the Huntingdon road be- tween Huntingdon and Abbotsford was the heaviest-traveled and should be paved first. (laughter). Reeve Lamson who spoke next, agreed with Mr, Hill and told the meeting that a total of 3,000 American cars used the short strip of road in his municipality between July 1st and 4th, traveling first to Ab- botsford ‘‘for some reason or other’’ and then going back over part of the road to Cultus Lake. The Huntingdon Board of Trade, he said, had made two appeals to the government for penetrat- ing oi] treatment of the Huntingdon road, but beyond acknowledgement of the letters, no aetion had been taken, His district, he said, would endorse any reasonable movement to secure paving of the Yale ‘road. Beeve Poppy To Select Committee Mr. Cowley of Chilliwack, supported by a Board of Trade representative from that district, assured the meeting of co-operation from his district. The motorist, Mr. Cowley suggested, could afford to pay an extra 3 cents per gal- Jon tax on his gasoline to obtain the necessary pavement, Amendments and changes were made to the resolution, which was unanimous- ly passed, urging the provi b gov- érnment to conerete paving of the grav- eled section of the Yale road. 3 Reeve Poppy was nominated by the meeting to select a committee repre- senting the various districts affected, to act as a delegation to wait upon the governmen at Victoria and present the resolution. Copies of the resolution are to be forwarded to Hon. E. D, Bar- row, Mr. Patterson, Mr. J. Catherwood, and Dr. Rothwell, @lso to the various organizations and municipal borlies con- cerned for their further support.
