Annexation No Confidence in Pro'trince Says Council â€" Sentiment of TorritorT) Described as Overwhelmingly Opposed To Change D.A.WSON, Y.T.â€" Declaring it had "no confidence" in the financial ability of British Columbia to take over ad- ministration of the Yukon Territory, the Yukon Council Friday passed a resolution protesting the proposed an- nexation of this northern territory by the coa;;% province. A memorial expressing this opposi- tion will oe sent the Govemal-Gen- eral-in-Council. Breaking a silence maintained since Monday, when Premier Patullo of British Columbia announced an agreement had been reached with the Federal Government whereby the Yu- kon would be merged with British Columbia, the council of three elected menni'oers pas.sed the resolution "firmly and emphatically" protesting the proposal. i The council urged that the peopis of the Yukon be given a chancs through plebiscite to vote on the m.at- ter. The annexation would be a "vio- lation of their democratic rights as Canadian citizens" unless their ap- proval was first obtained, the council said. The council expressed the opinion that British Columbia laws were in many ways fundamentally unsuited to the needs of the Yukon, and that their introduction would mean an "unsettling of capital." "Sentiment in the territory is over- whelmingly opposed to the change," the council declare^i. Tree May Point in Be Focal Garden Of Suitable Size and Form, Sets Scale For Planting In choosing a focal point of inti.-r. e.'t in the garden â€" which may be a piece of statuary or some other such structural unit â€" a single tree, arch- ing its boughs over it. will sufEice as a complement of green that will lend warmth to the static ornament. And so a simple, pleasing composition is evolved. There is hardly another single unit of living interest that will do as much for a layout as a single tree that is well placed. It must be of suitable variety, size and forms, for it gives and fixes a -'scale" for the entire planting. It frames views, it casts a shadow, varying with the movement of the sun ; and lastly, its silhouette against the sky adds a (luality of en- chantment. The unit next in importance may well be the plane, or door; and for this a fine green carpet of grass sure- ly gives much corjtort to the eye and a fine blending colour for adjacent units. The grass and the tree are in themselves not a garden. They are to be surrounded with an enclosure, either a wall of structural material or a hedge of living green. Privacy is thus provided. Within this canctum the designer paint.s a picture or se- veral pictures, according to his fancy. Furnace Is Safe From Lighting MONTREAL, â€" The furnace is the place to go to be safe from lightning, according to K. B. McEachron. re- search engineer, addressing the El- ectrical Club here. Completely sur- rounded by metal, a human would be safe from a stroke of lightning and. a J a rule, the only spot in the home where he. or she. could be so encased would be inside the furnace, he ex- plained. "This may sound facetious." lie said, "but it was the conclusion that was reached by a conference of elec- trical engineers. " Now that automo- bile bodies were made of steel they too afforded safely, though, he warn- ed, it would be unwise to get out to cliauge a tire. The popular notion tliat rubbor-soled shoes acted as a safeguard was unfounded tor '"if the lightning has enough power what does a fiuarler of an inch of rubl)er amount to," .Mr. McEachron pointed out. When a ihundersturm bursts the things to avoid are sitiin,? on radia- tors or on the edge of a bed. he said, the point bc\ns iliai ihe human body must not be so placed as to Intercept the char?e in its course to conductors of electricity.
