In

With
I
Doukhobor
Trouble
VICTORIA
-Police
drive
to
halt
terrorism
in
the
Doukhobor
districts
of.
British
Columbia
will
be
opened
Immediately,
It
was
announced
yesterday
by
Attorney-General
Gordon
Wlsmer.
Following
Mr.
Wismer's
statement,
provincial
police,
as
they
moved
swiftly
to
cut
short
further
burnings
and
terrorism
by
members
of
the
fanatical
Doukhobor
sect,
announced
last
night
that
already
eleven
arrests
have
been
made
Including
five
-men
and
a
woman
at
South
Slocan
yesterday.
Charges
are
connected
with
the
reign
of
terror
and
arson
among
the
Doukhobors
In
th'e
Kootenay
Valley.
W.
W.
Ferguson,
Nelson
barrister,
has
been
appointed
special
prosecutor
to
take
action
against
the
terrorists
"
to
the
full
extent
of
the
law."
Another
home
at
Shoreacres
was
added
yesterday
to
the
score
of
buildings
which
have
already
been
destroyed.
Terrified
orthodox
Doukhobors
had
appealed
to
the
police
yesterday
for
protection
from
fanatical
fire
raiders
as
tension
mounted
In
the
rich
farm
lands
of
the
West
Kootenay
Valley.
Their
action
followed
receipt
of
a
threat
to
put
an
entire
village
to
the
torch.
The
terror
grew
hourly
with
a
stage
of
virtual
civil
war
between
the
orthodox
group
and
the
Sons
of
Freedom,
a
radical
off
-shot
of
the
10,000
membership
sect.
Attorney-General
Gordon
Wlsmer
said:
"We've
got
to
do
something.
This
seems
to
have
gone
pretty
far."
Police
reinforcements
are
now
on
the
way
following
the
appeal
from
the
orthodox
Dounhobors.

NORA

Coronation
of
Princess
Rupert's
1947
Port
Queen
Centre
last
night
before
an
audience
of
1,500
of
her
"subjects"
who
packed
the
auditorium
almost
to
standing-room
capacity
to
watch
the
presentation
of
the
crown
and
sceptre
by
Mayor
Nora
E.
Arnold.
The
ceremony
was
the
high
light
of
carnival
week
and
climaxed
a
ticket
and
vote
selling
campaign
that
began
on
July
10
and
resulted
In
the
pretty
23
-
year
-
old
Metlakatla
girl,
sponsored
by
the
Kinsmen's
Club,
winning
by
a
wide
majority.
The
proceedings,
organized
by
the
Business
and
Professional
Women's
Club,
were
carried
out
with
dignity
and
regal
color
from
the
time
the
Queen
and
her
entourage
entered
the
carnival
grounds
until
they
left
half
an
hour
later.
Leading
the
Royal
procession
in
single
file
were
the
three
Princesses
Betty
Pullen,
Ruth
Jerstad
and
Lorraine
Youngman,
followed
by
two
small
crown
and
iceptre
bearers,
Gregor
McLeod
and
Billy
Kergln,
bearing
the
symbols
of
authority
on
velvet
cushions.
Then
came
the
Queen-elect,
her
Royal
purple
cape
borne
by
two
small
train
bearers,
Leona
Ritchie
and
Gale
Bolam.
,
The
party
paraded
slowly
down
the
long
hall
between
a
guard
of
honor
from
Capt.
Cook
Corps
of
Sea
Cadets
led
by
Midshipman
John
Kennedy
which
gave
the
Royal
Salute
as
the
Queen
went
by.
The
costume
of
the
Queen
was
a
stunning
bouffant
styje
.creation
of
white
lace
and'net
over
satin
with
full
length
bow-
knotted
centre
line.
She
wore
long
silk
gloves
and
a
simple
but
effective
pearl
necklace.
The
traditional
velvet
robe
with
ermine
trim
and
Jewel
set
crown
and
sceptre
completed
the
regal
ensemble.
Tht
three
Princesses,
acting
as
malds-of-honor
had
beautifully
similarly
styled
dresses-Betty
Pullen's
was
petal
pink
nylon
chiffon
over
taffeta
with
shirred
bodice.
Ruth
Jerstad
wore
turquoise
blue
and
Lorraine
Youngman
buttercup
chiffon,
each
deftly
fashioned
and
selected.

Among

Interesting
exhibits
at

show
In
the
Civic

this
year
probably
the
most

is
Peter
Oamula's
fig
tree.
Standing
about
four
feet
high,
it
is
beautifully
foliaged
and
fruit,
although
still
green,
is
well
formed.
The
tree,
of
course,
has
been
raised
under
glass
and
will
conUreue
Its
existence
that
way.
A

later,
Pete

to

his

to
