Command of the Canadian Legion. “The government didn’t give a fixed time for tle delay and we had it more or less lined up with former Attorney-General Wismer to get the licence through when the political blow-up came.” No date has been fixed for the appeal yet but McKee said it will be “in the near future.” ’ UBC STUDENTS USE TEAR GAS TO HALT STRIP TEASE ACT VANCOUVER (—Engineering students used tear gas on Wednesday night to break up of British Columbia's dignified Brock Memorial Hall.
