The Alberta Amateur. Baseball Association held its annual general j meeting in Calgary on Wednesday. Although there is no report to hand as to the result of the session, it is thought: that the association may |have decided to allow the interming- ling of amateurs and pros. in senior baseball]. A man. whose. family pride was more marked than his love for music asked a friend to come.and hear his daughter sing. After she had fin- ished the’ proud father said to his friend, ‘“Well, how do you like it? What do you think. of her execu- tion?’?* The reply came swiftly, “Tm in favor of it.”?

An enthusiastic meeting was held in the Elks hall, at the call of the Olds Canadian Club, on Wednesday night. The gathering comprised representatives of the numerous town organizations, and al) were of one accord that Olds should celebrate Canada’s diamond jubilee. the date of which is set on July Ist. Much ground was covered in the electing of the many coinmittees required be published in our next issue, with fuller particulars of the nature of the celebration. Mr. A. C. Bury was elected chairman and Mr. L. W.. Askin secretary, whose duties are going to. be very strenuous. gistrations of Oriental births, and there is some ground for suspicion that even yet, with the vigilance on the part of officials, there are births which are not reported. The 24 page report is crammed with similar statistics, mostly incom- plete, as it is exceedingly difficult to obtain full details regarding the do- ings of the Orientals in B C. The report is comparatively use- less in the hands of a few to peruse, but if it found its way to every white man’s home the object for which the B.C. government is striving would be made much easier of attainment. . DERBYTOWN An Easter service was held in the Rockwood school, on Sunday, April 17th. The scholars of the Sunday school sung special hymns and gave recitations. Mr. Jackson delivered an inspiring address. A collection to help buy an organ for church and Sunday school was taken up. Do not. forget the picnic, sale of work and Maypole dance by the school children on the grounds near the James River hall. A dance in the evening. Judging by the marked enthusiasm and the willingness to function on the part of each~ member of. the} many different committees, the Dia- | mond Jubilee festivities at Olds will ! be an outstanding event in the! town's history and the biggest day’s ,. celebration ever recorded. The accommodation at the Ben- nett-Hamiier church: is'ample for ordinary church functions, but when the annual dinner event takes place every spring a building six times the size of the present one wouldnot be too large to accommodate the large’ crowd that. attend this feast year after year, -On Friday last the ladies of the rural,chureh were kept on the jump for several hours, wash- ing dishes, setting.and re-setting the tables, for the record erowd that attended, which included a splendid representation of town’s people. The lecture which followed was also wel] patronized and much enjoyed. It is not_very likely that the base- ball boys will be accused of ‘‘rush- ing the season’? if for. an hour or so on these evenings a little praetising down at the park, instead of main street, is indulged in. eee BIRTHS At the nursing home of Mrs. Brown, to Mr. and Mrs.’ H. O: Schrader, of Red Lodge, a son, Apri! 10th. To Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Flynn. of Mayrton, a son April 20th. ————$—$—— OBITUARY Very sad is the news of the death ofthe baby daughter, Gene, of Mr. and Mrs. Bussard, who passed away at. their home at Olds.on Monday, April 18th, at the age of 19 months. The baby was a twin sister of Jasper Allen Bussard, by whom she was pre- deceased’ on October 3lst, 1926, which makes the case doubly sorrow- ful, and the sympathy of the com- munity is extended to Mr. and Mrs. Bussard and family in their sad be- reavement. The funeral took place on Wednesday, April 20th. The Rev. V..M. Gilbert had. charge of the service, which was held at the home, interment taking place at the Olds cemetery. British Columbia Awakening - That the B.C. government is at ace is plainly manifested. in the “Re- port on Oriental Activities within the Province,”’ recently prepared and issued by the legislative assembly. The following are only avery few of the wany startling. facts taken from|. ° the report on resolutions: ‘‘Whereas there were in British Columbia, ac- cording to the last Dominion census, 23,532 Chinese and 15,006 Japanese; and whereas statistics show that there is a very large natural increase in B.C., multiplying each succeeding year to an. alarming. extent; and whereas the Orientals have invaded many fields of industrial and commer- ment of.-our white citizens; and whereas the standard of living of the average Oriental is far below that of the white man, thus enabling him to live comfortably. on a much lower wage.than our white men: ‘the B.C. government goes on record as being utterly opposed to the further influx of Orientals into this province, and tv completely prohibit Asiatic immi- gration into Canada.”’ The Japanese birth-rate is 40 per 1000, 4s compared with a general birth-rate of all. races..except native Indians, of 18 ‘per 1000, while the natural increase per 1000 is 9 to 10. That the.increase in the Japanese population through the excess of births over deaths is greater by more than 2 to 1 than the immigration of people of that race. That Orienta's own Jand and im- proved property in B.C. to an aggre- gate value of $10,491,250, and lease That in three eyears the number of- Japanese children in the public schools has increased by 74 percent., while in the same time the number of white children has increased by 6 per cent. That the Chinese have gobbled up the garden truck business to the extent of 91 per cent. in one city.
