BRITISH WOMAN! Of Parley Close Prime Minister King, in Suddenly Adjourning Dominion-Provincial Conference on Rowell-Sirois Report Warns of Danger in Carrying on with Some Provinces Absent \u2014Ilsley Hints at Gasoline Rationing.OFF ASSEMBLY LINE TOWARDS THE FRONT By FRANK FLAHERTY (Canadian Press Staff Writer.) Ottawa, Jan.16.\u2014®\u2014The Royal Commission report on Dominion-Provincial relations was indefinitely shelved today in the face of opposition from three provinces to consideration of its recommendations in wartime.After two days of discussion the Dominion-Provincial Conference called to consider the recommendations ended in deadlock.With Ontario, Alberta and British Columbia delegations refusing to sit on any committees to study the report, Prime Minister Mackenzie King declared it would be unwise to continue the conference.In his address closing the meeting last night, Mr.King said the gathering had served one good purpose: It had brought from the Premiers unanimous expression of their determination to back the war effort > and co-operate with federal authorities in whatever war measures were necessary.The Government would be ready to re-open the question at any time, Mr.King said.The Prime Minister disclosed that there had been a division of opinion in the Federal Cabinet over whether the conference should be held at this time.Personally he had believed it should not, but Finance Minister Ilsley had convinced him that the Government would be taking a great responsibility if it neglected to act at once.In the end, the Cabinet was unanimous in favoring the meeting.Today, delegates from the nine provinces were on their way home or attending to Government business in Ottawa.Fresh in mind was the warning they received at the closing conference session from Mr.Ilsley that federal war taxation might cut into Provincial Government revenues.The Finance Minister said adoption of the financial proposals of the report, or something better, w\u2019as necessary to bring about an equal distribution of the burden of war finance, to protect the national credit, to establish minimum national standards and to prepare for post-war prqiblems.He listed the financial measures] the Dominion might have to take as: j Imposition of a federal succession j duty; increase in income tax rates;} withdrawal of the forty per cent federal contribution to unemployment relief costs; no more federal help to provinces in meeting maturing obligations or in emergencies; rationing of gasoline.All, he said, would affect provincial finances or revenues.The conference broke up at G.35 p.m., E.D.T., soon after Premier Mitchell Hepburn of Ontario and his Highways Minister, Hon.T.B.Mc-Questcn.announced the Ontario delegation did not intend to remain at the conference.Premier William Aberhart of Alberta and Premier T.Continued on Page 2, Col.3 COMPULSORY MOVING OF CHILDREN LIKELY London, Jan.16.\u2014l®\u2014Malcolm Macdonald, Minister cf Health, today ordered the compulsory removal from the Greater London area of all children under fourteen considered likely to suffer \u201cin mind or body\u201d from air attacks if they remain in or near the capital.The order supplements a recent defence regulation which authorized the medical examination, of any child under fourteen likely to suffer by remaining in London.It applies to the City of London, to Metropolitan boroughs and most of the boroughs on the outskirts of the capital.Pathologist Declares that Death of Noted Violinist, Wife of BBC Language Expert, Caused by Blow.London, Jan.16.\u2014((P)\u2014The death of Mrs.Arthur Lloyd-James, whose husband\u2014a fifty-six-year-old English language expert\u2014is now facing a murder charge, was attributed today by a Government pathologist to skull fracture.An examination of Mrs.Lloyd-James\u2019 body showed numerous lacerations and \u201cpunctui'e wounds,\u201d Sir Bernard Spilsbury testified at a coroner\u2019s inquest, but these in themselves were insufficient to prove fatal.Sir Bernard testified after a bloodstained carving fork and a hammer, found in the Lloyd-James home, had been introduced in court.The inquest was adjourned to January 21.Police officials said the case would be tried at the February Court session at Old Bailey.Mrs.Lloyd-James, a violin virtuoso who taught and played as Elsie Owen, was found dead in her Hampstead home Tuesday.Her husband was quoted by police as saying he killed her to save her from \u201ca bleak future\u201d when he found he \u201ccould not cope with my work.\u201d NSÉÉÉ8 jS.\t- .nV> ÜP* ->Y-v \u2022 v.> Surprise Attacks Give Greeks Many Important Positions Near Klisura Mountain Heights Taken Despite Severe Snow Storms Followed by Heavy Rain\u2014Infantry Operations on Central Front Confined to Mopping Up Operations but Intensive Artillery Fire Continues.Here is a scene of mass airplane production with big bomber fuselages rolling along a track.T1 of the Douglas plants in California, and ii i- working continuously on British and American orders, some of the bombing planes built in this plant for Bri tain narrowly escaped destruction when a which they were loaded in New York harbor caught fire.is is one Recently ship on FORGET POLITICS, INDIA TOLD AS SOLUTION FOR PROBLEMS London, Jnn.16.\u2014\t\u2014If In- ch., forgrls politic., for «ix month» and concentrate» on her war effort, \u201cIndia\u2019» political problems will » o I v e themselves,\u201d the Chief Minister of the Punjab Territory, Khan Balladur Sir Sihander Hyat Khan, said yesterday on his return from the African theatre of war in a talk reported by the British Broadcasting Corporation.FAVOR AGRICULTURAL POLICY REVISION Fredericton, Jan.Hi.((P)-.The New Brunswick Farmers Association in annual convention last night went on rcc rd n.s favoring reconstruction of the national argicultui al policy.(Ah Surprise ware reported to- Financial Problems Forced Slash In British Purchases Treasury Secretary Henry Morgenthau Tells House Foreign Affairs Committee that British Liquid Resources Will Only Meet Cost of Materials at Present on Order\u2014Willkie Will Testify.-» Opposing Premiers Refused All Pleas To Continue Conference #- Washington, Jan.16.\u2014(JP)\u2014The& House of Representatives Foreign Affairs Committee, told that Britain\u2019s war orders here have virtually been halted by a shortage of ready cash, turned to War Secretary Henry Stimson today for information on the military aspects of the lease-lead bill which would supply all-out aid the embattled democracies.The War Department chief was the only witness called for the single session today.Naval Secretary Frank Knox and William S.Knud-sen.Director General of Defence Production, will present their testimony tomorrow.The House Committee yesterday devoted all its time to Treasury Secretary Henry Morgenthau and State Secretary Cordell Hull.In the strongest terms both Cabinet officers urg- FRENCH VESSEL ATTEMPTING TO RUN BLOCKADE Freighter Mendoza Making Up Uruguayan Coast Paced Five Miles Out to Sea by British Auxiliary.(By Record Special Representativ'' at Ottawa.) Ottawa, Jan.16.\u2014In spite of the effort of Prime Minister Mackenzie King, a half-dozen of his Cabinet Ministers, headed by Rt.Hon.Ernest Lapointe, Minister of Justice, and six of the nine provincial Premiers, the Inter-Provincial Conference on the Sirois Commission\u2019s report suc-cumibed yesterday to the torpedoes of the three disenters from Ontario, Alberta and British Columbia.In spite of all pleas that Premiers Hepburn, Aberhart and Pattullo, at least consent to go into committee to discuss the terms of the report before voicing final disagreement, the three men persisted that it was impossible for them to enter any .¦negotiations based solely on the Wkmmiesion\u2019s findings.And so the report which many had hoped might have been the beginning of a new deal in Canada\u2019s economic and social life fell in tatters around the stubborn heads of these three men.To many political observers who crowded into Ottawa for the conference the collapse of the discussions seemed to be the first major political defeat suffered by the Mackenzie King administration since 1935.Many remarked that Mr.King\u2019s oft-repcated claim that Canada was more united than ever before in her history was no longer justified as the conference had served only to British Night Air Defence Takes Toll Of Reich Craft Two German Planes Downed in Sharply-Curtailed Night Raiding on London \u2014 Improved Civilian Fire-Fighting Services Cut Down Losses from Incendiary Bombs\u2014 Compulsory Raid Service Ordered.Continued on Page 2, Col.6 RAF.PUNES AGAIN BOMBED GERMAN PORTS Montevideo, Uruguay, Jan.26.\u2014 i\t«ii.\t,\t- (/P)\u2014Reports today from the Village ed passage of the bill as a step essen-\t____ i.inn Hoi t-n\tof Puerto La Paloma, about 120 tial to defence of the United States, -,\t,,\t, ,\t, \u201e miles up the coast from Montevideo When the hearing recessed, Re- sairt the 8,199-ton Mendoza, French presentative Hamilton Fish, of New freighter attempting to run the Brit-Lork ranking Republican member L,h biockade) was ^arefu!Jy follow_ or the committee and announced\t^\t/\t., leader of House opposition to the\tr v .A \u201d\t£ bill, announced eight of seventeen !out Y11\u201916 .the Bntish Aux'liar>; Crui-witnesses he had invited had accept-!*er Asturias was pacing her, league ed and would appear next week.!

MOZART\u2019S Clearance SALE! IS NOW IN FULL SWING By LARRY ALLEN (Associated Press Staff Writer) Aboard Aircraft Carrier Illustrious, with British Mediterranean Fleet, Jan.16.\u2014«W\u2014Battered but still able to move under her own power, the aircraft carrier Illustrious has reached the comparative safety of a Mediterranean port after weathering one of the most punish-ish attacks a British warship has undergone in this war.For seven hours on January 10, German dive bombers rained explosives on her in an attempt to send her to the bottom as she ploughed through the central Mediterranean with other fleet units escorting a big Eastbound convoy.Between, forty and fifty Nazi planes participated in the attack, diving low to release 1,000-pound bombs whose concussion shook the 23,000-ton vessel as a cat shakes a T&t In all, 100,000 pounds of high explosive bombs were aimed at her flight deck and many torpedoes at her sides.I witnessed the first part of the alack from the bridge, where part of the time I was flat on my face, my hands folded across my head, while splinters of steel swept the caiTier\u2019s decks and the thump, thump of antiaircraft guns mingled with the spine-chilling scream of the dive bombers and the crash of bursting bombs.The second time the Germans came over a low-flying plane dropped a bomb which exploded near the starboard side of the ship.The blast threw a column of water over the bridge and hurled me down to aviation intelligence quarters one deck below.A sheet of fire burned my face.Throughout the assault the carrier\u2019s pom-pom guns kept up a continuous din, putting up a wall of fire through which the Nazis dived head-on.A flight of British planes which took off from the Illustrious before the Germans struck also made the Nazis pay.The final score in German planes shot down was twelve.The attack on the Illustrious came after a British cruiser attached to the convoy sank one of Italy\u2019s newest destroyers, the 642-ton Vega, and damaged another.I had a ringside seat for this engagement, during which the British cruiser also engaged Italian shore batteries (presumably on the Sicilian coast).The cruiser opened the battle whan she sighted the two destroyers dead ahead.A shell from the British vessel set one of the destroyers afire and she moved off at top speed, losing herself in the mist along the coast as the cruiser engaged ner mate.The latter, the Vega, exchanged shell for shell with the cruiser until her magazine suffered a direct hit.I saw a great mass of flame shoot up from the Vega and she slipped swiftly beneath the waves with her entire crew of 94 men.British naval units continued to fire at the Italian shore batteries, which fell silent after the Vega sank.A British plane dropped bombs on the other fleeing destroyer and British expressed a belief possibly sae sank or was beached somewhere along Pantelleria Island.As the convoy continued its Eastward journey after the naval battle, I was in the wardroom of the Illustrious, just sitting down to lunch, when a marine bugler sounded a warning and the loudspeakers boomed: \u201cAll hands to action stations.\u201d I had barely reached the bridge when a big bomb struck the ship with a shattering blast, and a moment later another 1,000-poumfer crashed alongside.A blinding flash semed to envelop the whole ship.Another bomb tore holes in the carriear\u2019s sides.Still another burst close alongside, the fragments striking members of an anti-aircraft gun crew.The din was hellish as every gun on the Illustrious roared at the Germans, but they continued to come, raking the decks with machine-gun fire even as they loosed their bombs.Several torpedoes narrowly missed the carrier.Battleships, cruisers and destroyers were being attacked simultaneously.Great spouts of water sometimes hid the other vessels from sight.\tTo preserve it under the strong Both officers and men of the II- lights of the set, celery is painted lustrious risked machine-gun fire with shellac when used In movie to cross the decks to rescue wounded scenes- dumping snow into the river.Upon finding the parcel, Codero immediately telephoned the local police and Sergeant-Detective George Boudrins and two of his men were dispatched to the scene.The body was wrapped in a January 7lh edition of newspaper and a Into edition of a magazine.Coroner Ijconidas Bachand was notified and O]>oned an inquest.Police are expecting the arrival of a medico-legal expert from Montreal some time today.JOINT MEETING MUCH ENJOYED BYSNOWSHOERS Members of Sherbrooke Snow Shoe Club Entertained at Tuque Rouge Clubhouse as Old Custom Is Continued.Montreal Man Believed to Have Turned on Gas Jets Following Quarrel with' Wife.Continuing a custom that has been in existence for some forty years, the meml'crs of the Shor-ibrooke Snow Shoe Club and the Tuque Rouge Snow Shoe Chili held a joint meeting last night at the Tuque Rouge clubhouse at which friendship between the two organization was pledged anew and a .spirit of fellowship prevailed.Meeting at the Magog House at eight o\u2019clock, the Sherbrooke Snow Shoe Clubbers were met by the bugle band and a nimber of members of the Tuque Rouge, and the snowshoers paraded through Wellington Street and up King to the corner of Belvidere and King Streets, where the parade broke up and the rest of the journey to the clubhouse was made by car.President Emile Lafontaine, of the Tuque Rouge Club, extended a to the vistors, with President Alex Ross, of the Sherbrooke Snow Shoe Club, responding, and the Vice-Chorister Charles, Holt, of the

evening, the snowshoers enjoyed a buffet lunch.TWENTY BELOW LAST NIGHT Although not the coldeil night experienced this winter, the thermometer fell to twenty below !a«l night, according to the

on a farm seven long miles from the nearest village, who actually famed for several years and who has during the past thirty years practised medicine in small villages and rural districts of the Eastern Townships I.would like, through the medium of your valuable paper, to j draw attention to what is, in my ' opinion, rapidly becoming a major problem among the many so called rural problems of this generation.I refer to the growing scarcity of active medical men in our villages and smaller towns.If anyone doubts this, let him or her recall the doctors of say fifty years ago in many of our villages.In those days there were two or three young, active men where today there is one only, and he an elderly man, in many instances, who, regardless of his skill and long experience, is only too often physically unfit for the hardships involved in his work, especially during the winter months.He remains and carries on as best be can since his home, his friends and human interests are there.But who will succeed him?Who succeeds us, I may rather ask, I since I am one such ?Very few young ' doctors are taking up village prac-1 tices.No doctor of long experience, I could conscientiously, in my opinion, advise any young man to follow such a course.Some of the reasons for this are very obvious if one reflects even briefly on the advances in medical science during the past forty or fifty years.In those days diphtheria caused more sickness, among children, especially, than possibly any | other single disease.I have not seen a case of diphtheria during the past ' five years.If and when it does appear it causes little alarm, as it is quite controllable, but is rather a j serious reflection on someone\u2019s good \u2022 sense.It should never be seen.The :&ame may be said of smallpox, one I of the plagues of former years, now I seldom, if ever, seen.Likewise, though to a somewhat less extent, scarlet fever and other children\u2019s diseases, so called.Typhoid fever, which formerly kept us very busy at more or less regular intervals, is now a stranger.So much so, indeed, that when it does appear it is sometimes not recognized.However it has been and can be controlled.Tuberculosis, too, thank God, is being conquered and is now seldom seen in our villages and country districts, where fresh air and sunshine, the natural enemies of this disease, are abundant.Pneumonia, though still prevalent at times, is being conquer-ed also, as is septicaemia, or blood-poisoning, and many other diseases of like nature.Thus we see the sum total of diseases has been very greatly lessened and the work a doctor would be called upon to do correspondingly decreased of necessity.I But there is another and more important reason in the fact that the treatment of such conditions as do remain, and there are still many, ; whether medical or surgical, has so changed as to make it inadvisable, if indeed possible in many cases, to .carry out such treatment outside of a well-equipped hospital.Accuracy I of diagnosis, costly, and even elabor-|ate equipment, specific treatment ' and skilful nursing are the four great essentials in combatting disease to-, day as possibly never before.These i are not possible in a country practice.However great may be the practitioner\u2019s knowledge 'and skill the best interests of the patient demand that he be sent for complete diagnosis, e.g., bloodcount, X-rays, etc., to a hospital many miles away, perhaps, where specific treatment, as indicated by these diagnostic tests, will be given by doctors on the hospital staff and specialists in the particular disease, or condition, involved.! What young graduate would wil- | lingiy choose a country practice j under such circumstances ?From five to seven of the best years of his life are spent at college, along with ten or possibly fifteen thousand dollars of dad\u2019s, or some one else\u2019s money.Then one or two years, or even longer, are spent in hosnitals as intern, under most skilful surgeons and specialists.At last he is ready to settle down and earn a few dollars for himself.(The commonly accepted goal of all our endeavors).Should he decide on a village or rural practice he must, from the very beginning, as stated above, id the interests of his patients, not treat his most, interesting and important cases himself, regardless of his ability and training, but send them to the hospitals for others to do what he has spent so long a time and so much money in learning to do.If he follows this course for five years he will have lost most of his ability and all of his confidence in himself to do really first-class work and wil] have become a \u201cTransmission Doctor,\u201d whose most important function is to attend, when ealied.render first aid, and then forward his patients to the hospitals.Not a very enticing picture or outlook for any young doctor, surely.No, indeed.t^s***sr I am convinced that the time is rapidly approaching when there will be no resident doctors in our villages and few outside of our hospital centers, that is to say, our cities and large towns.What is the remedy for this state of affairs, some one will ask?To be consistent, perhaps a prophylaxis, should be asked for.Frankly, I do not know the answer.Possibly it lies along the lines of socialized medicine, which, I believe, is being tried with indifferent success in some of our W\u2019estern provinces.Certainly some re-organization of our present system in respect to rural health and disease must be made eventually.The sooner this is done the better.Delay will mean an ever-increasing, though preventable, loss of life among those of our people whose homes are far from our hospital centers.Sincerely.ROBERT ELLIOTT, M.D.Bishopton.McKENNEY ON BRIDGE By Wm.E.McKenney, America\u2019s Card Authority THIS PSYCHIC BID CONCEALS POWER, SPRINGS SURPRISE To a champion, the winning of another trophy, while gratifying, may not be very thrilling, but I know one winner in the recent national SMILE Jones found his bill on the breakfast table when he came downstairs on the last day of his holiday.He stared at it, whistled to himself m amazement, then laid it dawn dis-mall.A fellow-sufferer smiled at him sympathetically.\u201cHighway robbery, isn\u2019t it?\u201d he commented.Jones rubbed his chin.\u201cWell,\u201d he remarked, \u201cI don\u2019t know that I\u2019d call it that.I should say it\u2019s just mash-and-grab.\u2019' A timid little man at a prize fight decided to summon all his courage and tell the tough guy in front of him to stop bobbing up and down.The tough guy turned around and said, truculently: \u201cWhatsa matta wit yuh?Yuh wanna fight?\u201d The little man considered a moment and then said: \u201cI\u2019ll duel vou.\u2019 The tough guy was startled, but decided to go on with the matter.\u201cOkay,\u201d he said.\u201cChoose yuh weapons an\u2019 I\u2019ll duel yuh.\u201d \u201cRight,\u2019 said the other: \u201cGrammar at twenty paces.\u201d The manufacturer had twenty employees in his plant, and as none were as energetic as the manufacturer thought they should bo, he hit upon a plan which he believed vould cure them of their lazy habit?.\u201cMen,\u201d he said one morning, \u201cI have a nice easy job for the laziest man in the plant.Will the laziest man step forward?Instantly nineteen of the men 'topped forward.\u201cWhy don\u2019t you step to the front with the rest?\u201d inquired the manufacturer of the remaining one.\u201cToo much trouble,\u201d came the reply.\t______ A teacher is explaining the rule of subtraction to a pupil.The nupil does not seem to understand, so at last the teacher asks, \u201cWhen you have four chops on your plate and eat four, what will then remain?\u201d The pupil;

He intended to go to three or four hearts and wanted to avert a possible \u201csave\u201d in spades.He tossed in the bid of two no trump to further camouflage, confident that he would have a chance to run out in hearts But when South bid diamonds, the no trump contract looked very inviting, so Glick stuck by it.West, having! both spades and diamonds stopped, ! and knowing that North could have only one club stopper, doubled with glee.The third round of clubs knocked out the queen and West expected to win four clubs, a diamond and perhaps a spade.It was a terrible blow when Glick rattled off his concealed heart suit and gathered ten tricks.Some parrots have been known to live for 60 years.Glick A K 8 6 V AKQ953 ?K 4> Q 3 2 é J 10 7 4 W 8 ?A62 + AKJ10 5 Dealer A532 V J64 ?Q984 *763 *\tAQ9 ¥ 10 7 2 ?\tJ 107 5 3 *94 Duplicate\u2014None vul.South\tWest\tNorth\tEast Pass\t1 *\t1 *\tPass 2 *\tPass\t2 N.T.\tPass 3 ?\tPass\t3 N.T.\tPass Pass\tDouble\tPass\tPass Opening\u2014* 7.16 The geographical centre of the United States lies in the Eastern part of Smith County, Northern Kansas.Andrew Johnson\u2019s birthplace in Raleigh, N.C., has been moved to three different localities.The Seri Indians, who inhabit an island in the Gulf of California, are among the most primitive of all the earth\u2019s peoples.CONGRESSWOMAN HORIZONTAL 1, 8 U.S.A.congress-woman pictured here!
