THE
TOWN
OF
LADYSMITH
on
Vancouver
Island,
which
a
Department
of
Education
official
said
a
few
years
ago
was
the
one
city
in
British
Columbia
with
worse
school
accommodation
than
Prince
Rupert,
is
to
have
a
new
junior-senior
high
school,
plans
having
been
forwarded
to
the
Department
of
Education
for
approval
prior
to
the
necessary
money
bylaw
being
presented
to
the
property
owners.
That
will
then
leave
Prince
Rupert
with
the
worst
school
buildings
in
all
of
British
Qplumbia.
;
We
talk
about
our
poor
streets,
our
collapsing
sewer
system,
our
failing
waterworks.
Matching
the
other
public
property
in
inadequacy
and
antiquity
are,
of
course,
the
school
buildings.
All
of
which
serves
further
to
accentuate
the
necessity
of
Idying
out
an
overall
program
of
our
community
nfeeds
and
the
devising
of
ways
and
means
of
financing
them,
all
a
task
that
will
require
much
thought,
ingenuity
and
resourcefulness.
Andrew
Volstead
THE
NAME
of
Andrew
J.
Vol-j
stead,
who
died
yesterday
;at
his
home
in
Minnesota,
where
he
had
been
in
virtual
retirement
for
many
years,
be-.
came
known
through
.the
world
when
it
was
tacked
as
a
designation
to
the
United
States
prohibition
enforcement
law.
"The
Volstead
Act,
passed
by
Congress
in
1919,
vetoed
by
President
Wilson
and
then
repassed
over
his
veto,
was
de-s!gned
to
put
the
"Jeeth"
m
the
Eighteenth
Amendment
to
the
Federal
Constitution.
It
was
repealed
in
1933.
Mr.
Volstead,
then
a
Representative
from
Minnesota,
Was
one
of
several
men
who
contributed
iheir
ideas
to
the
act,
but
by
virtue
of
his
belr.g
chairman
of
the
Judiciary
Committee
of
the
House,
it
was
given
his
name.
.
Thereafter,
Volstead
and
prohibition
became
synonymous
in
the
mind
of
the
Am-eiican
public
and
the
name
'
of
the
sponsor
of
the
act
was
more
widely
printed
than
that
of
any
other
member
of
either
house
of
Congresj.
With
the
attention
that
was
directed
lo
him
by
the
association
of
his
name
with
the
enforcement
act,
Mr.
Volstead
was
hailed
by
the
"dry"
as
a
great
moral
force
in
the
life
of
the
country,
and
derided
by
the
"wets"
as
a
menace
to
individual
liberty.
,
On
the
foundation
of
fame
that
came
to
him
through
his
connection
with
the
enforcement
act,
Mr.
Volstead
might
Have
built
a
tidy
fortune
had
he
so
desired.
Newspapers,
magazines
and
syndicates
n)ade
flattering
offers
to
him,
for
articles
dh
his
life,
his
ifieas
on
prohibition
enforcement
and
the
enforcement
ct
generally.
One
publisher
made
efforts
to
have
him
write
a
book
covering
general
information
on
prohibition.
He
turned
a
deaf
ear
to
all
those
proposals.
J
During
his
incumbency
in
congress,
Mr.
Volstead
made
a
rjni?
against
giving
interviews,
and
also
declined
sedulously
tp
pose
for
photographs.
VVhen
he
sailed
from
New
?crk
In
1923
to
attend
the
International
Congress

to
Alcohol
at
Copenhagen,'

"Canada,"
written
In
letters
of
gold
by
angels

;
Written
in
Blood
on
the
battlefields,
by
men
who
proved
their
love;
i
Love
for
the
country,
dear
to
their
heart,
Love
for
their
dear
ones
from
whom
they
must
part.
;
The
greatest
love
that
many
may
give,
JThe
gift
of
his
life
that
others
might
live;
The
greatest

that
ever
trod,

Were
bred
and

sod.
Canadians,
how
we
love
that
name,
We
do
not
hang
our
head
In
shame;
;
But
proudly
to
the
world
we
boast,
The
finest
land,
from

And
to
the

Freedom,
which
we

To
those
who
come,
within

to
live,
;
May
we
as
true
Canadians
ever
give
j
A
helping

forgetting

And
always

to
do

PLACE
AN
AD
IN
THE
DAILY
Bachelor
Motherhood
it
Is
not
a
subject
POSSIBLY,
even
worthy
of
comment
heie,
yet
bachelor
motherhood
has
been
the
topic
of
a
good
deal
of
discussion
lately
since
old
country
newspaper
correspondents,
seeking
something
spicy
and
sensational,
chose
to
overrpublicize
the
proposal
of
legitimizing
bastardy
as
advanced
by
some
London
crackpot
lacking
in
moral
values.
Naturally
enough,
such
a
preposterous
idea
would
not
be
given
any
serious
consideration
in
Canada
and,
even
in
Great
Britain,
it
Is
unlikely
that
much
attention
is
being
paid
to
it.
Bachelor
motherhood
is,
of
course,
repugnant
to
the
laws
of
both
God
and
man
as
well
as
being
contrary
to
our
ideas
of
family
and
home.
It
might
be
tolerated
or
condoned
in
the
heathen
nations
where
the
breeding
of
humans
is
regarded
on
no
higher
plane
than
the
breeding
of
animals.
In
civilized.
Christian
countries
like
ours,
of
course,
the
idea
is
entirely
revolting
to
all
our
finer
sensibilities.
,
It
is
difficult
to
see
how
bachelor
motherhood
could
be
made
even
economically
possible
unless
we
resorted
to
scientific
breeding
under
the
auspices
of
the
state.
It
might
have
a
vestige
of
decency
that
way
but
to
handle
it
any
other
way
would
be
but
to
legalize
sexual
looseness
and
promiscuity
which
is
already,
we
fear,
becoming
too
lightly
regarded.
And,
apart
from
all
that,
in
this
day
and
age,
there
would
be
few
decent,
married
women,
we
believe,
who
would
be
content
to
share
their
men
even
so
that
the
some
time
old
maids
would,
at
least,
not
be
childless.
however,
several
reporters
cornered
hlnv
ancl
one
asked
If
he
had
ever
taken
a
drink
of
whiskey.
"Well,
yes,
I
have,"
he
replied,
adding
"I
don't
know
that
there'3
any
harm
in
one
drink."
He
ignored
a
question
as
to
whether
he
had
taken
a
drink
since
the
advent
of
prohibition.
Volstead
served
in
the

Congress
for
20
years.

LETTERBOX
INDIANS
IN
SCHOOL
Editor,
Dally
News:
While
Mrs.
Beynon
is
morally
correct
regarding
the
segregation
of
natives
in
our
schools
there
is
some
justification
for
Mrs.
Becker's
stand.
Native
children
as
old
as
13
years
of
age
are
being
placed
in
Grade
One
in
our
schools.
These
chlldrm
have
never
been
to
school
before.
It
is
grossly
unfair
to
ask
teachers
to
take
into
their
classes
children
who
are
five
years
older
than
the
average
age
of
their
class.
That
child
takes
a
good
deal
of
time,
time
the
teacher
cannot
afford
since
she
has
40
other
pupils
in
her
class.
The
lack
of
education
amons
our
first
citizens
here
Is
appalling.
Miller
Bay
Hospital
Is
filled
with
girls
who
are
unable
to
do
anything
but
wash
dishes
and
scrub
floors
and
not
very
well
at
that.
Mrs.
Eeynon,
you
say
you
un
derstand
your
subject.
Perhaps
you
can
explain
why
a
good
number
of
natives
here
either
do
not
send
their
children
to
school
or
why
those
that
do
do
not
insist
that
the
children
attend
regularly.
Why
don't
you
ask
Mrs.
Becker
to
sutrolv
you
with
the
absentee
rate
for
nat
ive
children.
You
will
find
it
enlightening.
Personally,
I
am
against
seg
regation
but
a
separate
native
school
is
the
only
way
to
handle
children
who
are
here
today
and
gone
tomorrow.
Actually,
It
would
be
better
(although
cost
ly)
to
have
resident
schools
with
compulsory
attendance.
That
Is
the
surest
way
to
better
the
way
of
life
of
our
natives
and
that
is
why
the
Indian
Department
was
formed.
