But besides her big trade of exporting, live snakes. Mrs. Peers does a huge business In venom. One of her besl customers is the Soviet government, which is purchasing large quantities of cobra venom for use la a high source of amusement and his on-stage foolery indicated a high mastery of the gymnastic art, otherwise he would not have survived his antics. Members of the Parent-Teachers' Association and the Recreatiqnal Council, who attended as .groups, were welcomed by Executive Director Don ' cancer research. Tne boom In reptiles which is bringing a fortune to Mrs. Peers and has created a big export trade in live snakes for South Africa Is due mainly to the war.

Permanent Secretary cm the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research, said In an address. PATTULLO- -Cooers the B.C. Legislature (T. D. Pattullo. who started his career as a newspaperman back In Woodstock, Ontario, before he came, west In the Gold Rush days to become for almost half a century one of British Columbia's most prominent figures, finally achlevlnc to the Premiership of the province, is back In newspaper work aaln. The Dally News is pleased to announce that Mr. Pattullo has agreed to supply us with his commentary from the press pallcry at the Legislature In Victoria. It will Ije presented dally as long as the session lasts.) VICTORIA (Hy T. D. Pattullo) It has" been stated that Imperial Oil Co. does not Intend to embark on a program of search for oil in British Columbia as it does not like British Columbia laws. Four years have passed since the. exploration by the province itself in Northern British Columbia ceased and practically nothing has been done since. It is true that some general exploration was made by some oil interests but nothing tangible has resulted. Most of the companies have large commitments elsewhere and would appear to te not anxious to enter the British Columbia field so long as nobody else does. It is time that action be taken. Now is the time to protect the great possibilities of this northern field for the people of the province by going back into determined action to develop the territory governmentally. It can be done now without any enroachment upon any other interests. If it is not done by the government; what Is likely to happen? First, there will be a demand to cancel the power of governmental reservations under the present act and -the granting of concessions sufficiently attractive to induce capable concerns to become, interested. P.G.E. PROSPECTS LOOKING BRIGHTER With actual development over the years- and promising development for the future in Northern British Columbia, the prospects look much brighter for the Pacific Great Eastern Railway. Our two national railroads have, hitherto been interested in traffic east and west to the Peace River countryrather than north and south, development. Now, however, they are being gradually compelled to a more sympathetic attitude towaids north and south development. In referring to the possibilities of the Peace River country, the committee appointed to investigate the Peace River problem made no mention of the oil possibilities of the country. It may, be interesting to have pointed out that on the present line of the Pacific Great Eastern Railway there is sufficient timber to keep a 1000-ton pulp and: paper, mill in operation indefinitely. PROBATION - WITH BAR II7E tit proud of this bar of Tadante brand "A" Grade Zinc. A veteran of two world wan', it once again returm to its place on the "Civvy Street" market as an important provider of peacetime obs for Canadians. Ninety per cent of the cost of producing this bar is paid to Canadian labor either directly by us or by firms from whom we buy supplies and services. We are now making around 15,000 of these 50-lb. bars of zinc each day, enough Jo supply Canada's yearly requirements in a few months. Therefore, if these bars are lo be year-round full time. Canadian job-makers, three out of every four must be sold outside Canada. The factors that sell metals on the world markets, are no different from those that sell foods at the corner store. The buyer looks for the best quality at the lowest price. So our aim today is still better quality, still higher efficiency, still lower costs which means bigger markets, more jobs and higher living standards the normal course of free enterprise. This aim can only be attained if Labor, Management and Government co-operate to the fullest extent, constantly keeping in mind that Canada's prosperity and the prosperity of each one, of us depends on the tale of Canadian goods on the world markets. THE CONSOLIDATED MINING & SMELTING COMPANY OF CANADA LIMITED, TRAIL, B.C. SHORT SPORT Secretaries of the. England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales Football Associations held a "hush hush" meeting at Stoke recently and sports writers were unanimous In predicting a British soccer championship forerunner to a world championship, will be held In 1947.

Never in the history of Irish greyhound racing have there been so many dogs In the country. Although the coursing season has .been extended, officials have had to refuse many entries.

Shipping companies are set for the new trade. The United States Lines say3 "arrangements have been completed for the shipment of greyhounds to the United States" and Irish Shipping Ltd. Is ready to take, dogs to New York and Boston. Thomas Bulmer, secretary of Durham county cricket club for 40 years, died at his Fence Houses, Durham, home after a heart attack.
