DE VALERA’S
WINGS ARE CLIPPED

Under the democratic system a nat-
fon obtains just the government it
deserves, And the Irish Free State has

obtained De Valera.

Fortunately for everyboby, the elect-
ion is so'close that De Valera will have
to move along with the Labor Party
if he is to remain in office. And the
Labor Party, fully aware of the im-
portance of trade with Britain, has in-
timated that it is not going to stana
for ‘any nonsense. From which it
would seem that the sting has been
taken from the Republican ambitions,
and business will continue more or less
as usual,

Board of Trade Has
Meeting at Matsqui

On Monday evening, the Abbotsford
and District Board of Trade held its
regular meeting in the Community hall
at Matsqui. There was a fairly large
attendance, including seven new mem-
bers from the Matsqui district.

The object of the meeting was to
foster the good feeling between the
town and Matsqui municipality, and to
discuss seve matters which both
have in common. ‘This arrangement
for meeting outside Abbotsford was in
keeping with the wishes of some count-
ry members as expressed some time
ago that the Board of ‘rade meet al-
ternatively at Sumas, Abbotsford and
Matsqui. The membership includes so
very many from the districts adjoin-
ing Abbotsford that co-operation of
this kind is sure to be productive of
much lasting benefit to all concerned.

At the meeting, President A. Camp-
bell was in the chair, while Mr. N.
Hill acted as secretary.

The meeting was informed that no
word had come from the government
in response to a request that the pro-
vincial authorities take no. steps to
force taxes this year from delinquents
residing on Sumas Prairie on land
sold them by the provincial government

Mr. Nicholson addressed the meeting
in regard to the milk situation, point
ing out some of the difficulties ex-
perienced by the dairymen of the Fras-
er Valley, and recommending steps
necessary for an improvement on the
present conditions.

It was the feeling of the meeting that
the local Board of Trade would stren
uously oppose any, attempt by the
government to shoulder the municipal-
ities with the expense of social service
work.

The annual meeting of the Associat-
ed Boards of Trade of the Fraser Val-
ley will be held at New Westminster
on Saturday afternoon, April 2nd, and
will be attended by a deputation from
the Abbotsford and District Board of
‘Trade.

TRUE BLUES ARE GOING T0
CELEBRATE ON MAY 24TH

fo the Editor,
AS. & M. Ne
The Jubilee Hall Cemmittee have
taken the organization of the May Day

Celebration from the True Blues. No
y was shown the True Blue
committee, they were not consulted

as to their plans or shown any con-
sideration whatever, but the Hall Com-
mittee went ahead and appointed their
own committees regardlessly.

it is hard for the True Blue to give
up this day without a struggle. after
haying originated the celebration in

912 and carrying on for 20 years this
huge undertaking, with latterly not
more than approximately elght workers

In the face of this, the True Blues
have decided to carry on, in spite of
difficulties; but we wish it to be clear-
ly understood that we were perfectly
willing to go fifty-fifty with the Hall
Committee as arranged at the first
meeting. But we could not accede to
the present scheme, as the Orphanage
would thereby suffer.

We know that we have the support
of the various organizations in our
decision, and feel sure of the loyal sup-
port of the community in our plans for
May 24th, whith are as follows:

The crowning of the May Queen and
grand concert, will be held in the
theatre, the Queen's Banquet, to which
invitations to all past queens will be
issued, and the children’s dance, will
be held in the Orange hall, There will
also be a hot dog stand and ice cream
vooth there.

The ever-popular dance at night, will
be held in Matsqui hall, with David’s
Orchestra in attendance. Three busses
have been chartered for the evening,
running between Abbotsford and Mats-
qui.

Any donations for the True Blue
Orphanage will be most gratefully re-
ceived. May 4th is emphatically
“Children’s Day” and as such, we feel
bound to.keep it. We have had our
Tag Day taken away from us, New
Year's Dance and now May Day, But
in spite of all this, we are determined
if possible, to keep it a children’s day,
and not o money-making scheme.

The July 12th celebration was plan-
ned to be held in Abbotsford this year,
but the unfortunate situation which
has arisen will prevent this plan mat-
uring.

We are all hoping that our very sick
member in the hospital will not hear
of these unpleasant proceedings, or it
will break her heart.

Mothers of Abbotsford, we appeal
to you for your generous support in
this work for these dependant little
ones, and would you also please see
that your children attend the practises
regularly. Thank you.

yours truly,

His voice had travelled 18,000

miles from Vancouver to Mel-~

strengthen our business and friendly

The man who talked with Aust-

the other end of the line was an
Australian, head of a company with
which the Vancouver concern does
business. Neither had ever seen
the other. A trip at the time
impossible. A telephone conve’
