Outcome of the initiative of farsighted citizens, of dis-
cussion at board of trade and public meetings, financed by
funds raised within the district it will serve and carried to
completion by a committee of farmers and businessmen ap-

pointed publicly by the subscribers, Abbotsford Locker Cold |

” Storage plant enters service this week-end.

With the completion of this plant, the Matsqui-Sumas-
Abbotsford area secures facilities equal to, if not better than,
2500 communities in the northwest portion of the neighboring
United States, where this moden convenience originated and
has proven a boon to farmer, merchantman and householder
alike. Two other plants offering a similar service have been
erected in the Fraser Valley in recent months but it is safe
to say that the plant sponsored by Sumas Co-operative Assoc-
jation and located in the heart of this Central Fraser Valley
farming region at Abbotsford is by far the most modern in
design and facilities of any in the northwest of this continent.

Facilities have been incorporated that “will enable this
plant to provide a wide range of service to the district that it
serves. Apart from the 520 private lockers, many of which are
already spoken for, and the uses for which are almost innum-
erable, there are other facilities that soon the MLS.A. Area will
wonder how it got along without in the past. There is a chill
room for meat storage, the advantages of which will be obvious
to the farmer; there is a storage room for merchants who are
always seeking ways to keep and present their perishables in
best condition for public presentation; and there is the storage
room for the fur farmers. The latter will not mind they have _
been segregated, given a private room and entrance; these fa-
cilities will save them, long miles of hauling and naturally re-
duce their overhead. For the farmer and householder there
are the many common uses as well as those he will discover as
time passes, for the lockers and services available in their con-
nection.

Of the plant itself the district can well be proud. Its ex-
terior is surprisingly attractive and modern. Its construction
is sound throughout, as public inspection this Thursday and
Friday will reveal. Convenience to patrons and in operation
seems to have been the keynote in the minds of the board of
directors and this body of men who have served the community
unselfishly and at no little expense to themselves in time, effort
and money, is deserving of district-wide appreciation. This ap-
preciation can probably be best shown by everyone seeking to
adapt the facilities of the Locker Cold Storage plant to his own
advantage, as have the citizens of the Washington communities
to the south of us, where there is a waiting list of would-be

customers at most plants.

Mr. James Anderson, secretary of
M.S.A. branch of the Canadian Le-
jon, represented the local branch
at a gathering of Legion officials
called to meet Reginald Bowler,
0.B.E:, Dominion general secretary,
at New Westminster recently,

Mr. Bowler firmly believes that
all World War ex-service men who
were not physically disabled during
the four years of strife, but are
now unemployed and destitute, will
recelve some measure of help from
the Dominion Government before
the end of the next session of par-
liament,

Mr. Bowler said he based this
belief in the fact that a report is
now circulating in Ottawa that a
resolution presented at the same
time to give all veterans free med-
ical service, would receive favorable
treatment.

“It is Teasonable to expect,” he
“that the government will take
faction in the case of the
unemployed A-1 or fit men, the
only class of ex-soldiers who are
are not receiving pension assistance
today.”
