The church was filled to capacity, and outside, verent attitude as the funeral cortege passed by. It was a fine tribute to the large place in the affection these two women, one past middle life and the still on its threshold, had occupi- ed in the affections of those who knew them and were assoclated with them. Members of the ladies' auxili- 1 ary of the Legion and of the Or- der of the Eastern Star, of which Mrs. Dalby had been an active of- ficer and member, and of the Can- AF. and AM. attended the fu- neral in a body, and took an ap- propriate part in the funeral ceremonies.

Russian Soviet Timber Interest Secure Huge 1933 Contract With British Company Montreal, Dec. 30. -- Soviet Russia has just entered into a contract with a British firm to supply 870,000,000 feet.of lum- ber, valued roughly at four mil- lion pounds, declared H. R. Mac- illan, prominent British Colum- ia lumberman, in addressing the Montreal Wholesale Lumber As- sociation yesterday. © Mr. MacMillan told his audi- tence he had received a cable to that effect. The contract, he said, meant a '"'shut-out" for Canadian Jumber export to Great Britain as the amount was four times Cana- da's annual export to the United Kingdom. The terms of the contract, as outlined in his cable, showed that the order was against the spirit of article 21 of the Imperial Eco- nomic Conference pact hammered out last August, at Ottawa, the speaker declared. Rusia had guaranteed to reim- burse the British purchasing company for any competitive price which was lower than that at which Russia had sold. In oth- er words, Mr. MacMillan added, the Russians absorbed any loss that might be sustained by the British company.

J. Hus= band, A. C, Hooper, and W. A. Jennings, inspectors for the De- partment of Education who paid a visit to the city on December 6 and 7. The report showed that the school had received First Class grading in sixteen of the seven- teen departments of the accom- modations. Commenting on the manner in which the gradings were given the inspectors: state: "Improvements that have been made in the school grounds have permitted first class grading to be given to that department, On account of the excellent use being made of the assembly hall be- fore the hours of opening of schools and of the lunch room at noon hour, a grading of *"I' has been given to waiting rooms, There are a number of fine pic- tures in the corridors and in the auditorium, and on this account § it has been possible to raise the grading for the class The general condition of both build- ing and grounds fis commend- able." While the report shows that there is a good deal of over- crowding in the class rooms: which in the report is termed excessive, this is overcome by careful organization on the part of the staff which greatly min- imizes. Further commenting on the work of the staff, the report states that "all the teaching ob-| served was good and much of it was excellent". Dealing with the character of the pupils' work the report says. "The Spelling was excellen and the Writing is decidedly better than average in the First] Forms. The special provisio made for giving instruction in these subjects has resulted in definite. improvement, The Read ing is satisfactory and the qual ity of the pupils' work in Art i above the average. More prae tical work is being done in the Science classes and the records hall is likely to be filled.
