May Clear 'Treason' Count Regina, June 13 -- (CP) -- The question of the legality of the 1885 hanging of Louis Riel was raised today and historians saw the possi- bility of an attempt to clear the firebrand leader of the Western Canada "rebellions" of 1870 and 1885, of a charge of high treason. But Zachray M. Hamilton, 69- year-old president of the Saskat- chewan Historical Society and a re- cognized authority the handsome but unstable half-breed's life and times, saw also the chance that if Riel were cleared of the treason charge, the cry might be raised that he had been "waging war" against a friendly country. And that would never do, for it has been held that the Metis, those fur trappers and farmers of his own heritage led by Riel--described by some as humane, by others as a murderer--had actually been fight- ing for basic British rights and against Canadian government ra- ther than the Crown. The bitter historical wrangle was renewed by the recent discovery in the. Manitoba Archives of a United States naturalization certificate made out to Riel, who had fled in 1874 to Montana where he settled down as a school teacher after be- ing outlawed while a member of the Canadian Parliament for Proven- cher. Officials said the certificates, made out in 1883, appeared authen- tic. Mr. Hamilton, who hag believed all along that Riel was unfairly tried and hanged at the R.C.MP. bar- racks here, said the Metis Society of Manitoba probably would be glad to hear of the certificates and might even take action to clear their hero's name. Mr, Hamilton, who describes Riel from his study of documents as a gentlemanly, cultured man, had be- lieved that Riel had perhaps made application for U. 8. citizenship, but as no such evidence was produced at his trial here, had discounted any idea at that time that he might have been a U. 8. citizen. Flower Festival Held at Myrtle Sunday School M. V. LUERY Correspondent Myrtle Station, June 13--The Sunday school anniversary and Flower Festival was held Sunday morning in our church with Rev. S. Saywell in charge, Baskets of white lilacs, tulips and narcissi added to the beauty of our newly decorated church. Following the usual open- ing hymn and rrayer, the Sunday school choir sang their first num- ber, "O time of joy gladness." Then came the preseMtation of the flowers. A cross, three-feet or more high had been prepared and covered with a coarse wire netting and stood in front of the pulpit. The girls and toys marched slowly to the cross, where Mrs. C. Harrison, superintendent, accepted flowers from each in turn and placed them in the netting which held them there. When the last flower had been placed, the cross was-a lovely and colorful mass of flowers. We are a ve'v small Sunday school in | numbers, and the program was} brief. Mrs. Saywell told a very fit- | ting story of the three young braves | The of an Indian tribe who willingly obeyed the old chief in order that one might be chosen to be the future leader of the tribe. He bade them climb a nearby mountain and bring back what each would find there. The first found gold; the second found a very rare and beau- tiful flower; but the third brave re- turned empty handed. He told the old chief of the beauty he saw from the top of the mountain--the sun- rise, the sun set, the ocean, the na- tural loveliness of the surrounding country. He was chosen as the future chief. Nancy Walsh, Jim Hamilton and Doreen Cryderman, each read a poem relating to the beauty of our Father's world. The second number by the choir was a repeat of two weeks ago and sung } ° request. Sunday school and church service next Sunddy at the 'usual hour, GUIDANCE SERVICE Shawinigan Falls, Que. (CP).-- Shawinigan Falls Catholic School Board will offer to its beys' school during 1947-48 a guidance service to aid students in choosing wither a trade or advanced studies similar to thbse obtained in uni- versity. 5 LJ INTELLECTUAL INSECT In proportion to its body, the ant | as 'the. largest brain of any living | eature, | Red Soldiers In German Factories Berlin, June 13 -- (AP)--Demob- ilized red army soldiers are being left in the Soviet zone to work in German factories for expert train- ing under German technicians, re. liable American informants said to- day. "While it is impossible to say how many such former soldiers are now being employed in German plants, information from a number of in- dependent sources indicate any- where from a dozen up are being | .| placed in chosen factories, depend- om Wer size," these informants said, "The men are being used mainly in machine works and in optical plants, and usually in the area in which they have been stationed as soldiers." American sources said the Rus- sians thus were gaining two ob- Jjectives: . 1. They were helping to build up skilled manpower, short in the Sov- iet Union. : 2. They were in effect tting around the four-power scheme to reduce occupation troop strength in Germany. The reports of employment of former Russian troops in German factories, apparently on the Ger- man wage scale, coincided with news, confirmed by American Gov- ernment sources, that the Russians are conducting a zone-wide regis. tration of all German workmen between the ages of 18 and 45. Informants said they felt this was a step toward building up a vast card index of all employables in the Soviet zone so that if a par- ticular man was needed for a par- ticular job in Rhssia he could be promptly found. Census Shows Fewer Horses Ottawa--(CP) -- The number of horses in Manitoba is decreasing ra- pidly in numbers, figures released by the dominion bureau of statistics show. These were the preliminary figures of the 1948 prairie census, and they reported a decline from 301,763 horses on June 1, 1941_to 215,008 last year, a 29 per cent drop. Value of Manitoba's fann horses decreased even more rapidly, frem $16,377,887 in 1941 to $10,72:,450 on June 1 last year, a decrease of one- third While the horse population was declining, the cattle population was gaining in numbers, figures show. The cattle population in Manitoba June 1, 1946 was 799,633 compared to 705837 five years earlier, and 747,367 in 1936. The value cf cattle showed a much greater increase, be- ing $49,485625 last year ccmpared with $26,405,164 in 1941 and only $14,238,422 in 1936. The number of sheep declined to 205,516 from the 1941 total of 246,- 169 and was slightly below the 1936 total of 207,915. Swine dropped frcm 503,407 to 308,052 last year, but there will still te more than there were in 1936, when 269,708 were pro- duced. Total poultry population last year wags 17 per cent higher than in 1941, and 60 per cent above 1936, due mainly to sharp increases in hens and chickens. 300 South Africans In Telepathy Tests Johannesburg -- (CP) --. Three hundred South Africans are collab- orating with a Johannesburg man and an ex-service graduate of Rhodes University College, Gra- hamstown, in a series of experi- ments, results of which will be used as a basis for a thesis on mental telepathy for an AM. degree on psychology. The aim of the tests is to dis- cover what types of personalities are most receptive to mental tele- ; pathy. The experiments will last 25 days. On each day a set of drawings will be exposed by the Johannesburg experimenter. It is essential to the experiments that those participat- ing should not know who he is. Impressions to the drawings to be exposed will be given by the 300 volunteers. There will also be per- sonality tests. Research in extra-sensory per- ception has been made in England and America, but it is believed that it has never before been undertaken in the Union of South Africa.

Find Cornwall Body in River Near Montreal 7 Montreal, June 13--(CP)--Believ- ed to have been drowned at Corn- wall, Ont., several weeks ago with two other persons, the body of a man tentatively identified as Hec- tor Latreille, 26, of Cornwall was found last night in the St. Law-: rence River, opposite suburban St. Lambert. Papers found on the body bore the name of Latreille and Cornwall police were notified. Relatives of the dead man are expected to come here to complet idntification. Town of Elmira To Be Weedless Kitchener, June 13.--(CP)-- El- mira, a town of 2,500 population 12 miles north of here, will enter the national scene today by declaring itself a "weedless town." Vanguard of many Canadian towns and cities expected to launch similar campaigns, Elmira will op- en its crusade with a simple cere- mony at which Mayor C. E. Gibson, town officials and the "weedless committee' of the Elmira Board of Trade will fire the opening gun. A commercial sprayer from Toronto will then go into action on parks, private and public lawns and gar- dens, See Oats, Barley Short By 71,500,000 Bushels Winnipeg, June 13-- (CP) == An analysis of latest crop esti. mates indicates that Eastern Ca- nada will embark on its 1947 "food for export" fall and winter program with a prospective shor tage of normal locally-grown oats and barley of 71,500,000 bushels, agricultural authorities said to- day. Assuming that the Western crop is normal or better thaa nor. mal, it-will be necessary for the railways to move an everage of more than three 80-car trains of 2,000 bushels to the Lakehead from Aug. 11 until the close of navigation around Dec 10 if the present prospective Eastern de- ficit is to be met, officials said. In addition taey would have to move the present average of 141% bushels of feed grains, screenings and millfeed. Unless much of the feed grains is delivered at the Lakehead early in the fall navi- gation season the railways could not assume the extra burden. A normal or above-normal Western crop is not assured but could develop, authorities said, if it weathers the hazards of the growing and filling seasons suc- cessfully, The chief of these is probably disastrous fall' frost, since the crop is well behind nor- mhl development, ° The greatest yield of oals and barley on record--911,200.¢00 bushels--came in 1942, and the lowest--'51,500,000 bushels --in 1937, If the 1947 Prairie yield approaches the 1942 level, there will be plenty of feed and only a probable transportation bottles neck to break, 3: The average yield in Onterid, Quebec and New Brunswick from 1939 until 1943 was 130,000, 000 bushels. A yield of 58,500, 000 bushels is in present prospect for 1947, showing an apparent shortage of 71,500,000 bushels. Authorities here said 'that if Canada's output of oat and bar. ley approaches the 1937 level, the Dominion will lack feed for her foundation stock and "go on a practical non-export basis." If the yield approaches the 10. year average of 539,900,000 bushels the country will "get through" but will remain in a fairly "tight" feed position, such as existed in the East this year because of fransportation prob- lems.
