(CD-Alberta
is
economically
solvent

able
to
meet

obligations
in

a
committee
of
bondholders
advised
Premier
William
Aberhart
today.
The
committee,
after
weeks
of
investigating;
Alberta's
finances,
has
decided
the
government
is
not
justified
in
slashing
interest
charges
to
ah
average'
"of
about
three
percent.
It
is
stated
by
the
committee
that
interest
charges
could
have
been
paid
this
year
and
the
province
would
have
recorded
a
bud-ret
deficit
of
only
$193,216.

Of

Today
Dramatic
Incidents
of

Life
Revealed
in
Evidence
GETS
SIX
MONTHS
Mr.
Justice
A.
I.
Fisher
this
morning-
sentenced
George
Adsit
to
six
months
without
hard
labor
at
Okalla
prison
farm.
In
doing:
so
he
took
into
consideration
the
recommendation
of
the
jury
for
leniency,
a
plea
on
behalf
of
the
prisoner
by
his
counsel,
Reid
McLennan,
who
drew
attention
to
his
age,
the
fact
that
be
had
no
previous
criminal
record
and
also
that
he
had
been
in
custody
since
September
9.
Mr.
McLennan
suggested
suspended
sentence.
Mr.
Patmore,
for
the
crown,
pointed
out
that'sentences
were
designed
not
only
for
the
punishment
of
criminals
but
as
a
deterrent
.to
crime.
It
would
have
a
bad
effect
on
the
community
if
the
prisoner
were
allowed
to
go
home
on
suspended
sentence.
It
was
a
serious
offence
to
draw
a
gun
and,
If
allowed
to
go
unpunished,
it
was
hard
to
know
where
it
might
lead.
The
Judge:
stated
that
the
case
had
caused
him
some
worry.
He
wished
to
state
that
the
suggestion
of
the
foreman
of
the
jury
that
the
dispute,
prior
to
the
siiooting,
might
have
been
adjudged
by
the
gold
commissioner
was
without
basis.
The
gold
commissioner
had
no
power
to
adjudge
in
this
matter.
Having
in
view
the
various
pleas
that
had
been
made,
His
Lordship
said;
"George
Adsit,
you
,may
be
a
good
shot
but
you
are
getting
older
and
your
hand
may
be
more
shaky.
When
you
pointed
a
loaded
revolver
at
or
In
the
general
direction
of
a
man
and
with
two
or
three
other
men
close
by,
you
and
they
are
very
fortunate
that
no
one
was
killed
and
that
this
was
not
a
murder
trial.
Also
the
reaction
of
the
men
might
have
been
different
and
there
might
have
been
bloodshed,
especially
in
view
of
the
fact
that
there
was
a
rifle
in
the
immediate
neighborhood."
The
prisoner
will
be
taken
south
at
the
first
opportunity.
Verdict
of
guilty
of
assault
with
a
strong
recommendation
for
leniency
was
returned
after
an
hour's
deliberation

condition.

lived

a
highly

will
cast
a
gloom
over
that
whole
community
where
she
was
the
friend
of
all.
Her
parents
and
s'sters
will
have
the
sympathy
of
numerous
friends
in
their
bereavement.
In
addition
to
the
parents,
there
are
three
sisters
Marjorle,
teaching
school
at
Fawn
in
the
Cariboo
district,
and

The
remains

by
the
parents,

where

place.
