President Ramirez's warning to the Axis against any reprisais and to disoidenlis at home was voiced late yesterday at a press conference at which he also said it would be necessary to adopt certain measures to safeguard the security of the country.These measures, he said, when directed against nationals of Axis! countries will not differ from those-applied to Argentines except when! the Germons and Japanese demonstrate that they lack understanding: of what Ramirez called his Government's \u201cgenerous proposals'\u2019 and proved unworthy of confidence.Ramirez added that the question, of controlling mail and telegraphic communications was under study.IN MEMORIAM In loving- memory of our dear motl Mrs.Robert Johnson, who passed away January 23th, 1938.We do not fo.get ter, we loved her deadly.For her memory to fade from our lives a dream, Our lips need not speak When our hi\"< mourn sincerely, Lor grief often dwells where it seldom seen.Sadly missed and always remembered her son-in-law and daughters, Mlï.AND MRS.ED.KNUTSON RUTH AND HELEN, Toronto, Oi IN MEMORIAM In affectionate and loving remembra of our mothi r and wife, Mrs.Robt.Jo son, who departed January 28th, 1908.Though her smile is gone forever, And her hard we cannot touch, Wo will neve - lose th.memory, Uf a mother we loved so much.Always remembered by MR.ROBT.JOHNSON, Husband.KENNETH, San, Waterville, Que, MR.AND MIR'S.T.R.BEAN SAWYERVILLE UNDERTAKING PARLORS funeral and AMBULANCE Day and Night Service THOS.C.FRENCH, Proprietor.Tel.34 I 3 CITY and SUBURBAN tebrnofa Bath} Bmirb SHERBROOKE, QUEBEC, FRIDAY, JANUARY 28, 1944.\t\tJANUARY\t\t\t\t Son.\tMon.\tTne.\tWed*\tThn.\tfrl\tSat.\t\t\t\t\t\t1 2\t3\t4\t5\t6\t7\t8 9\t10\t11\t12\t13\t14\t15 16\t17\t18\t19\t20\t21\t22 23\t24\t25\t26\t27\t28\t29 30\t31\t\t\t\t\t Active Member Of Victoria Lodge Dies After Fifty Years\u2019 Service POLICE CHIEF MAKES PUBLIC TRAFFIC RULES Special orders with regards to the closing of certain of the city streets at special hours over -he week-end were announced by Director of Police Percy Donahue this morning.Mr.Donahue said that motorists would do well to note these rulings since at the specified times driving or parking on any of the streets would be prohibited.These changes and rulings were made necessary in One of the oldest and most act-fc ive members of the Victoria Lodge, A.F.and A.M.Weniyss Baliantyne| died suddenly at his home early last night following a heart attack, i Mr.Baliantyne, who was born in !

completely blocked from this time The first mid-winter thaw to hit this district this year showed signs of breaking today since during the night the thermometer dropped below the freezing point and the first signs of snow for the past few days were seen.During the past week the temperature has been high with a considerable amount of rain and sleet.No damage was caused by the excessive moisture which did not come in sufficiently large quantities to cause any inconvenience.Ever since las.t Saturday all skaters who have been using the public rinks of the city have been unable to skate regularly because of the thaw, but it is believed that the situation will be back to normal again and the various rinks throughout the city will be in operation again this week-end.Several of the school hockey games were cancelled during the pÿs-t week on account of the wet spells, but games at the Arena and on most closed rinks- continued.The curling clubs in the district also suffered to a certain extent since their ice became soft, but several games were played, however, and regular competition are expected to begin again this week-end.Skiing was knocked out by the wet weather and the learn-to-ski week being held in Sherbrooke prob- ably suffered more than any other] activity.Plans had been made to carry out instructions at the local clubs all week-end and these have been hampered to a certain extent.The companies cutting ice on the Magog River were also held up for a short while because of the collection of water on the surface of the ice, but work was resumed once again yesterday afternoon.This wms the first set-back that has be-en suffered by these companies this winter and to date they have had little trouble or inconvenience in getting in their summer ice supply.Pedestrians and automobile drivers also suffered to a certain extent by the wet weather since the water on the ice made going slippery and it was difficult to avoid accidents.Fanners travelling in from the country said that the mild spell had made the roads soft for travel and that there were places where travelling was practically impossible.The condition of the country roads were said to be slippery for automobiles.Since all signs now point to a colder spell, most people are again looking forward to another snowfall to help cover up all the icy spots and render many of the winter activities possible again.SGT.A.MATHIEU Snowshoers Holding International SUCCUMBED TO Convention In City Over Week-End LONG ILLNESS m evening and games were played fol-;untii the end of the race.All

of the Whole yesterday afternoon, Dr.J.A.Des-chesne.District Health Inspector, confirmed the test of Théo.J.La-freniere, Chief Engineer of the Provincial Health Department, that the ice now being cut

Pond on the Magog river last week when he came here to address an open meeting in the City Hall in connection with Sherbrooke\u2019s drinking water and the erection of a modern filtration plant.Mr.Lafreniere observed the cutting operations and while he was there made a test of the ice.after which he reported his findings to the city officials.It was announced at the City Hall that the ice cutting is supervised by the Municipal Health Inspector, Joseph Masse, who goes daily to the pond While cutting operations are in progress.The Councillors at the meeting decided to amend a by-law compelling local ice dealers to secure permits from Health Inspector Masse before cutting their ice.Under another amended by-law' dealt with by the Aldermen, it will be necessary for all restaurant, hotel, boarding house and all other operators of places where meals are served to secure a permit from the Health Inspector and Building Inspector J.O.Chartier.This amendment was made as a result of numerous complaints received at the City Hall which stated that a number of eating establishments in the city were unsanitary.Notice of the amendments to the two by-laws will be given at the next

Snowshoers Convention which is taking place in Sherbrooke over the week-end, Director of Police Percy Donahue has issued several precautionary hints to the public which if observed should help to keep order and avert accidents.The first warning is with regard to the fire alarms.Chief Donahue said that precautions should be taken against sounding false alarms.This was a serious offence and in these times when the streets are in a slippery condition the chances of damaging the fire apparatus is high and repairs and replacements are hard to get.Any who are found meddling with the alarm boxes will be severely punished, the Director added.Drunkenness would also be closely watched by the police all during the week-end and any motorists, snowshoers, soldiers or civilians who happen to be picked up on these counts will be obliged to appear in the police court where the maximum penalties will be handled out.Speeding throughout tne city will be more closely watched with the increased number of pedestrians that will be present, and since the streets are in a very icy condition all motorists are urged to guide themselves accordingly or else pay the penalty.Fire hazards in the hotels and in all public nuildings were mentioned by the Director who said that all proprietors of hotels and restaurants should keep a closer look-out for fire on thoir premises.In closing Director Donahue said that all these warnings were issued by his department as a purely precautionary measure and the one aim in so doing was to have the safety and protection of the public at heart.He said that he hoped everyone would take special care to see that j everything was kept in order so that ] the convention could be termed a success in every way.Plans for the International Snowshoers convention to be held in Sherbrooke over the week-end are now just about complete and already representatives from the various clubs throughout the Province and from the New England States are arriving for the activities.In all a total of two thousand visitors are expected in the city over the week-end, where a wide and varied programme of events has been planned by the organizers of the Congress.Tonight at nine o\u2019clock the official opening will take place.This will be held in the Belvidere Street Armory, where a show and a dance have been planned for the visitors.The doors of the Armory will be opened at eight o\u2019clock and it is expected that a large number of the American visitors who will be arriving in town all during the day will be present.The Congress gets into full swing tomorrow, however, when the presentation of the keys of the City to the group will take place at the General Headquarters at the New Sherbrooke at two o'clock.The short course races will then he run off, .starting at three o\u2019clock on St.Francis Street.This will continue until five o'clock when the International Committee will meet at the General Headquarters.The whole body will then be broken off until about seven-thirty when they will meet at Big Forks Street to form up for the parade.This parade, which Starts at eight o\u2019clock, will follow bite following route: Wellington North and South, Aberdeen, Alexander, King West and Belvidere to wind up once again at the Belvidere Street Armory, where another grand evening's entertainment is to be held.The presentation of the trophies

Murray, Council and 2nd Avenue, arriving CONDITIONAL SALES BANNED OF MILLFEED Conditional sales of flour with sales of millfeed made by millers to food dealers and in turn by feed dealers to farmer customers have been prohibited by a Wartime Prices and Trade order today, it was announced at tho local office of W.P.T.B.D.B.Racey, local officer of the W.P.T.B., explained that this action of the Board removes the basis of a complaint on the part of many fanners that both millers and feed dealers were imposing upon them, the conditional purchase of supplies of flour with each purchase of millfeed, which is a by-product of flour.It was pointed out that this trade practice has operated satisfactorily for a number of years, but the tremendous increase in the demand for millfeed resulting from the wartime development of livestock, dairy and poultry production, has aggravated the situation.The effect of the Board\u2019s action will be to relieve distributors from obligations to accept any specific quantity of flour or cereals when placing mixed ears for orders.Distributors also well be in a position to supply millfeed requirements of their fanner customer» to the amounts available without imposing any conditions of flour purchase upon them.at St.Jean Baptist Church for service at eleven o\u2019clock.At twelve o\u2019clock the group will assemble beside the church to have the annual photograph taken and then the body will be dismissed until two o'clock when the.famous ten-mile marathon race will be held.This race will leave Brompton and will terminât» at the New Sherbrooke Hotel after the runners have made several laps of the square Wellington, King and Depot Streets to make up the required distance.The presentation of the Marathon Trophies will take place at the New Sherbrooke at three o'clock and from that time on the visitors will be entertained at the various clubhouses in the city.The mayor\u2019s reception of the presidents of the clubs will take place between four and six o\u2019clock.Many of the races and activities to be carried out by the snowshoers will be well worth while seeing and the parade will be colorful and amusing.Many bands will be taking part and with the two thousand odd visitors who are expected, stretched out in Indian file, the parade should endure for some time.Many entries have been sent in t« the headquarters at the New Sherbrooke Hotel for the races and the following names have been accepted to date: Women\u2019s 60 yard dash: Jacqueline Lcgasse, Le National of Montreal; Miss C.Patry, Frontenac, Quebec;
