5a 1 PAGE EIGHT a EASTERN ONTARIO NEWS| 'Anniversary Services Kingston, -- Sydenham United Church has passed another mile- stone in its history. Sunday marked the 121st annlyersary and the occasion was one of thanksgiving by the members of the congregation. Rev, E. Hugh- son, B.A., D.D,, of Hamilton, was the special preacher for the occa- sion, while the choir sang special music. The minister, Rev. Dr. W. T. Brown, assisted at both services. nsients Are Numerous ig iis -- With 1,156 transients accommodated with food and shelter at the police station here since the beginning of the year, an increase of 231 over the corresponding period in 1931 is noted. : hways Rou, A, Ee highways in the vicinity of Kingston are rough travelling at the present time. The soft snow which fell a week ago Sunday was packed hard and cut up by cars and now forms a dangerous, skiddy sur- sace to the greater part of the road. The drifting snow of a week ago today filled in some sections of the road and was packed down by traffic before the plows were able to get through.' Despite the unpleasant traffic conditions, a number. of cars bearing American licenses went through the city on Sunday and geveral new car caravans have passed through going east. Heavy Farm Loss Metcalfe. ---- Fire of unknown origin breaking out at the farm of David Morrison, between this place and Edwards, Ont, about midnight, razed a large out- building and burned to death ahout 21 head of cattle, one horse 95 hens, five geese and 10 pigs, besides a quantity of hay, with a total loss of about $3,000, part- ly covered by insurance. Hospitals Dissatisfied Kingston, -- R. Easton Burns, chairman of the Board of Govern- ors, of Kingston General Hospl- tal, and Dr. E. Ryan and John Sowards, representing the Hotel Dieu Fospital met with Premier G. 8S. Henry on Tuesday, to dis- cuss with him the recent reduc- tion in the Government's contri- bution to hospitals and the re- duction of the municipal per diem rate. The representatives of the ioeal hospitals pointed out to Pre- mier Henry that such a step would mean a transfer of a great purden to the local taxpayers in the municipalities where the hos- pitalg are located. Railwayman Injured Arnprior.--Willlam Whyte, a C.P.R. brakeman from Smiths Talle, met with a serious accident here while shunting in the local vard. In making a flying shunt, he lost hix hold on the car on which he was riding and fell in Hophe! it, the car passing over his left arm severing it below the elbow. He also received cuts and bruises about the head. Doctors were summoned, and after receiv- ing first aid he was rushed to the Renfrew hospital where he was operated on. His condition is critl- cal, Sent to Reformatory Kingston,--Thomas E. McGill, who appeared at Napanee before Judge H, A, Lavell on five charges of theft, two. charges of forgery and one of uttering a forged do- cument, was sentenced to one year determinate and one year in- determinate on the five charges, to run concurrently and the een- tence to date from Feb. 24--the date of his arrest. Real Church Workers Merrickville. -- The Anglican and United churches, through the voluntary labor of the men of the parishes, have provided sufficient wood to heat the church build- ings for the next year. On Thurs- day, the Anglicans finished draw- ing 60 cords, while the United church completed their self-im- pos-ed task of piling on the prem- ises their 120 cords, sufficient for two years, and this will mean a saving to the church budget of more than $500. The ladies of the churches provided dinners for the men during the days they work- ed. The burning of wood instead of coal will be a new venture for hoth churches. Cross Harbour Ice Kingston.--Sudds brothers are the first to bring a horse across the ice of Kingston harbor this winter. The crossing was made from Simcoe Island, the party landing at the slip near the C.8.L. elevator, There were seven men in the party and they brought over about 1,200 pounds of cream, Those in the party were: Victor Sudds, Carl Sudds, John Orr, George Kelly, Bert Belvea, Leo. Pickard, Paul Lalonde Dan Sudds. Many Pupils Absent Brockville.--More than 500 pu- pills were absent from the schools of the town, principals reported, due to an epidemic of colds and grippe. Approximately 300 publie school pupils were affected, with 160 out of the collegiate institute and approximately 40 from the separate school. There is no like- lihood of the gchools being closed, however. Good Ive Kingaston.--Tee in the harbor and on the Ridean below the (Causeway ig from two and a half to three inches thick nnd many were out Xijoying skating on Sunday. Several impromptu hoc- key ganies were played and a few skaters used sails in order to skim over the smooth ice with greater speed. Interested specta- tors watched the skaters during the whole afternoon from various vantage spots along the water- front. The drowning tragedy of one week ago apparently had but slight affect in deterring skaters from the ice. PRODUCE PRICES J. dent are laid up for short TORONTO PRODUCE (Buying) .

At one time in 1928, there were hopes that the Kuomintang might suceed in forming "a Central Gov- ernment, but since their failure to avert civil war, the party has grown steadily weaker, and except for a few tenacious leaders, hope of a really united China seems to have been abandoned. The most likely development at present is that the provinces will each have a government and will organize a loose confederation for carrying on foreign relations, but retain all domestic government in their own' hands, In such event a considerable por- tion is likely to pass entirely under Communist control, Soviet Hopes The Socialist Soviet Republic of China has renewed its prediction that it will occupy Hankow and es- tablish a capital there before the end of this year. Probably" Com- munist armies could capture Han- kow at any time, but holding it indefiitely is another matter, Communists may succeed in cary- ing out a "Bolshevik state" in south central China, with Hankow and Changsha as the principal cities, but it is unlikely that they will extend their power much further.» Although the Communists no longer regard the Kuomiftang as a serious rival, there is little danger that they will succeed the Kuomin- tang by the great majority of peo- ple, Nonetheless, the Communists are doing all they can to take ad- vantage of what they predict is the imminent dissolution of the Kuo- mintang. Learning from the past, they are moving cautiously. During the past few months, the Communists have been more busy eliminating "counter-revolutionists" from their ranks than with outside opponents, Their program is to consolidate their position in Hupeh, Kiangsi, Anhwei and Fukien pro- vinces, to build up armies on whose loyalty they can rely, and to elim- inate the "petty bourgeois" elements who have entered the party, When this is accomplished, the long threatened move against Hankow will be made. Scout Head Calls Chain Letter Twentieth Century Black Magic \ London. -- Declarint that the "chain letter" superstition is noth- ing more than "twenticth century black magic," Lord Baden-Poweil recently issued a call to the 3,000,000 members of the Boy Scout move- ment to break all the. chains and put a stop to the "curse" Al- though he has torn up every chain letter that ever came to him, he said none of the threatened calami- ties have ever been visited 'on him, "Stern action should be taken against the writer of these letters, because ' nervous people receiving them frequently suffer ill-health "Or all superstitions, the chain letter is the silliest, and yet it can be one of the most harmful "A woman recently comimtted suicide through fear of the conse- quences of not carrying out the in- structions contained in a chain let- ter." "I do not treat the letter as a jest," said: Lord Baden-Powell, "I treat it as a gross impertinence and a nuisance, [I have received scores of chain letters, and I have torn up every one of them. "The writers of these letters know I tear them up, but scem to take a delight in pestering me with them, I shall continue to break every chain I can, and I ignore their threats of calamity, "Calamity, bosh! I have never had any bad luck as the result of break- ing a chain letter. I think I have been exceptionally lucky in a good many things." He has just received his twelfth chain letter this year, It instructed him to: "Make nine copies, and send this chain on within twenty-four hours of receiving it. Woe to you ir you take this as a jest and do not pass it on, and so interrupt the chain of luck, Misfortune upon misfortune will overtake you." But the letter followed its fore- runners to the wastepaper basket, and still Lord Baden-Powell con- tinues to enjoy success and happi- ness. Mexican Archeologist Ignores Indian Witch Doctor's Threats Mexico City, March 5. -- Witch | gion say that the burial ground was loctors among the primitive Mexi- can Indians of the Oaxaca region are spreading reports that a horri- ble fate is awaiting the party of archaeologists who have made im portant discoveries near Monte Al ban. Senor Alfonso Caso and his party of scientists recently discovered the burial ground of an ancient Mexican race in the Monte Alban district. When they excavited some of the tombs they found some wonderful- ly valuable old jewellery, including a skull studded with precious stones Now the witch doctors of the re- protected by a curse of death, such as was supposed to guard the tomb | of "Tut-Ankh-Amen in Egypt, and |§ that Senor Caso has been bewitched | and doomed to death because hé | opened the tombs of the six Mixte- can chieftains, The legend of these witch dactors is that the spirit of Zaachila guards the tombs, and hag changed himself into a ferocious beast to wreak vengeance upon those who have de- 'secrated the burial ground, Never- theless the Caso expedition plans to resume work on the burial ground next autumn, American Sportsmen Plan to Visit Canada's Open Spaces Montreal, March $--The annual trek of American sportsnien to Canada's "great open spaces" will this year be marked by a pronounc- ed movement to the lesser known districts of the North West Ter- ritgries and the Yukon and the tajgled waterways which lie north of the dian National Railways in Ontario and Quebec. Mr. E, G. Poole, representative of the Cana- dian National Railways Tourist and Convention Bureau, who has return- ed from the New England Sports- men's Show in Boston, states that many of the more ambitious sports- men are planning hunting and fish- ing trips this summer which will take them to parts of Canada hith- erto known only to the trapper and wandering Indian "One man I met is making active preparations for a trip from Ed- monton to Aklavik at the mouth of the Mackenzie. He is determined to get a polar bear. Several others will follow the same route, probably making 'the Edmonton to Aklavik journey by.air and travelling thence by the Rat and Porcupine Rivers to the Yukon, Alaska and the coast, Another party is planning to fol- low the route of Alexander Mack- enzie by canoe, travelling by way of Waterways, the Athabaska Riv- er, Slave River and the Mackenzie to the sca. "There is also much interest in the big game possibilities of the more westerly districts, particular. ly northern British Columbia and the Peace River country and the mountainous arcas adjoining Jasper National Park. Algonquin Park continues to attract much interest because of its speckled trout fish- ing and it remains the great ambi- tion of countless Americang to visit the "Muskie" fishing areas of the Lake of the Woods. It is remark- able how well known these localities have become among American out- door enthusiasts during the past few years and there is little doubt that this vear will see a larger num- ber crossing the border with rifles and fishing gear than cver before." Return of Caribou Hunting In Eastern Quebec Welcomed Montreal, March 5. - After a closed season of five years, carl- Lou hunting in the counties of Matane, Gaspe and Bonaventure fn the Province of Quebec will aguin be permitted this year, ac- cording to official information reaching C.

Howard, Manager of the Tourist and Convention Euredun, Canadian National Rall- ways, Caribou have increased rapidly during the closed season on Gaspe Peninsula and adjoin- ing sections of Quebec and this 'increase has resulted in the de- cigion to permit hunting thls year between September 20 and De- comber 31st.
