GOLD RUSH ON IN NORTHERN’ CANADA

U»e Planes to Take Prospectors Into Field. Calgary.—A radium "rush" —and by airplane, too—lson in northern Canada. It la something new In mining adventure. The old-time gold “rush" has jessed Into history for the time being, at least. Discovery of $10,000,000 worth of radium has produced a novelty in mine prospecting. But there is a gold “rush" also on on In British Columbia, hundreds of » men going out Into the gold districts. It has been predicted that 10,000 will go out from Vancouver alone. • Two hundred grams of the precious radium— quoted now at $50,000 a gram —are already In prospect at Great Bear lake, judging from calculations made during preliminary surveys, according to Dr. A. E. Cameron, professor of mining nt University of Alberta. This js one-third of that already produced In the whole world. Syndicating operations have corrnled all. the territory In which the pitchblende Is supposed to He —as they have the known goldfields—so that a "rush" of prospectors generally would not net them anything. However, there has been just as much picturesque activity among a smaller number of persons •In the Far North to obtain the precious ore. There Is a possibility. In view of the extreme'importance of radium to the world, that the government may take over the deposits. But Just now the chief problem Is how to get it out—there being no railway and the trail being too long ami hard for carriage otherwise thhn by airplane. And the capacity of airplanes to carry heavy . ores Is very limited. The deposits are at I-a Bine Point, Groat Bear lake. Hugh A. Spence, mineral technologist of the Dominion department of mines at has examin'd the deposits and pronounced them very valuable. Discovery was made In the Spring of l!>30 by Gilbert La Bine and considerable work has been done. In opening. ? At present values, ore could ettsilf meet the cost of shipment to rail, which is $ Its* a ton. Improved transSECOND MARRIAGES By THOMAS ARKLE CLARK Emeritus Dean of Men, i Univercity of Illinois..

Several years ago the timepiece was lost In an orchard. Since then the orchard has been plowed and cultivated many times. But It took Woolner’s dog to dig up the watch. Woolner shook it, gave the stem a few twists and the watch began ticking again. More recently Woolner found the watch in a pocket of his overalls after the garment -had been soaked overnight and washed in an electrical washing machine. Again be wound the timepiece. And once more it started to run. About Ourselves We often discover what will do from fading out what will not do.

portatibn facilities, however, will have to be provided If serious production Is to be obtained. A small gasoline boat drawing a ten-ton scow is the best available method of transportation across Great Bear lake (and via the Great Bear river) to Norman, on the Mackenzie river waterway, and ore has to be handled several times. Railhead is at Waterways, Alberta. An estimate of radium in prospect,, which was based on calculations by Spence, takes it for granted that 2,000 tons of pitchblend are obtainable, this running 50 per cent uranium oxide, which gives 130 milligrams of radium to a ton. In the vicinity of Fort Norman discovery wells, considerable attraction exists for exploration. The area is a large one Over which districts are scattered in which structure closures and

Planes making frequent trips have taken in prospectors to stake ground, and the two commercial plane services have reported themselves able to handle only a small part of the traffic offered to them. Ground south and east of La Bine Point has already been staked for miles. The more recent staking has been principally in the hope of finding silver. The silver occurs as leaves and films throughout the massive pitchblende, also as a strong vein up to 30 Inches wide of carbonates and wire silver in contact with the pitchblende (silver constituting 40 to 50 per cent of the vein matter) and as leaves and films on joints and cracks 4n a 10 to 15foot sheared band on the footwall side of the vein.

SMOKY MOUNTAINS PLAN PASSION PLAY

Would Preserve Ancient Music and Folklore. Boone. N. C.—Ballads, native customs. culture and folklore of the great Smoky mountains may form the basis upon which a great “Passion Play,” patterned somewhat after that of Oberammergau, will be built. • ■ The idea-, conceived by Prof. I. G. Greer of the Appalachian State Teachers’ college here, is as yet only an idea, but its enthusiastic reception leads the professor to hope that he may see it executed fully within the next decade. Coming of modern days to the mountains, with good roads, accredited schools and radios, has brought fear that the old ballads handed down for generations by mountaineers might be lost. Mountain youth Is singing Jazz instead of the songs Its father sang. The ballads go back to early English times, no one knows how far. Generations have not only preserved, but have embellished and lengthened them. The greater part of them are sorrowful, rythmic, mournful echoes of the sternness of the mountaineer's life, as it was that of medieval peoples.

Professor Greer’s idea visions a sort of amphitheater in a mountain setting wheye these ballads would not only be sung, but their long, droning stories would be acted out.

IMPROVED ’ UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY I chool Lesson (By REV. P. B. FITZWATER. L> D. Member ot Faculty. Moody Bible institute of Chicaxo > <®. 1932. Western Newspaper Union.) Lesson for June 12 JUDAH THE TRUE BROTHER LESSON TEXT—Genesis 44:18-45:15, GOLDEN TEXT—Behold, how good, and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! PRIMARY TdPlC—Keeping a Promise. JUNIOR TOPIC —Benjamin'B Big Brother. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—What Boys and Girls Can Do for Their Family. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC ■ —True Brotherhood. I. Joseph Severely Tests Hit Brethren (42:9-44:17). Driven by sore need because of the famine, Joseph's brethren came to Egypt to buy food. As Joseph personally dispensed the food, he immediately recognized his brethren upon their arrival in Egypt but they did not recognize him. In this test Joseph 1. Accused them of being spies (42:9-17). He declared that they had come to see the nakedness of the land. In spite of their, protests of innocency, he cast them into prison and demanded that their younger brother be brought as a proof of the truthfulness of their word. 2. He kepi Simeon as a hostage (42:18-38). Joseph declared that because he feared God he sent the rest home with provisions for their families. demanding that ’Benjamin be brought to him. To further Impress them with his wisdom ami power. Joseph ordered the money of every one to be restored his sack. Upon the discovery of the money they exclaimed. “What hath God done to us?” 3. Benjamin’s peril (44:2-13). By a clever device Joseph's cup was placed in Benjamin's sack and was used as an occasion for bringing them back on the charge of theft. Convicted now of their sins and realizing the seriousness of their situation, Judah pleaded for the release of Benjamin: Benjamin was now being held as the one supposedly euiity of theft. . 11. Judah’s Pleas (44:18-34). 1. For the turning away of Joseph’s anger (vv. 18-32). In this plea he recited the history of the family, their coming to Egypt, and appealed to Joseph on the basis of the effect upon Jacob, their father. If Benjamin were not permitted to accompany them home. In most powerful ana persuasive language he set forth tlie love of Jacob for Benjamin, the son of his old age, and the sole survivor of his beloved wife. Rachel. His plea was as much for his father t.s for Benjamin. 2. That he himself might be kept >n slavery instead of Benjamin (vv. 33: 34). In this he showed his true worth, that is, as being worthy of the trust reposed in him by Jacob his father. The greatest sacrifice that can.be made by one is to give himself as a slave for and)her, even though that one be a brother. 111. Joseph Reveals His Identity <45:1-15). After such a plea as Judah had made it is not surprising that Joseph could no longer restrain himself. 1. He declared his identity (vv. 1-3). This act,, on the parr of Joseph troubled them. It ought to have made them glaa, Under ordinary circumstances have been a time of exceeding Jov. but their sins were in the way. This not only affords a beautiful example’ of forgiving love, but most beautifully illustrates Christ’s dealing with his brethren, the Jews. When the seven years of famine came his brethren who had left him and sold him were compelled to come to him for aid. Joseph dealt severely with his brethren to test them and to bring them to repentance. 2. Hd hade his brethren come near to him (vv. 4-8). When he revealed himself to them, the remembrance of their sins pierced them through.! How just it would have been now for Joseph to take vengeance upon! them, Joseph’s first question was about his father, showing that his desire was to put their thoughts far away from their crime. He invited them to ebine near unto him and assured them that God had overruled their crime for salva tion. They meant it for evil, but it was part of God’s plan for good. He/ .comforted them. This is exactly what Christ will do for. his brethren, the Jews. , He will become reconciled unto them and become their Saviour and Benefactor “ Just as all Egypt was obliged to c*me to Joseph for susie nance, and. become the servants of Pharaoh Through him. so will all the werld come to Christ for his blessing and be reconciled to God through him. 3. Joseph sent his brethren away with good news (vv. 9-15). As soon as Joseph's brethren knew, him and were reconciled to him they were Sent with glad tidings to their father. As soon as the Jews come to know Jesus Christ as the Messiah he will send them away to the ends of the earth with the good news of his saving grace.

Modern Contract / Bridge By Lelia Hatterstey l> No. 3. Biddable Suits WHEN you search your hand for an opening bid, if you holt) the requisite honor-tricks, look first for a BIDDABLE SUIT, remembering always that even a tour-card minor takes precedence over a no trump, provided the suit is “biddable.’’ ' Biddable suits are: A FOUR-CARD SUIT headed by HONOR-TRICKS. A FIVE-CARD SUIT headed by HONOR-TRICKS. A SIX-CARD SUIT headed by NO HONOR-TRICKS. Sound minimum four-catd suit bids: AQXX or A JIOX or KQIOX Sound minimum five-card suit blds: K-X XXX or Q JXXX Sound Minimum six-card suit bid: 109 XX XX Opening bids of one or two, Regulation suit take-outs, and forcing bids do not require any greater strength than about three trump tricks in the bid suit But with four-card suits,, the approach-forcing system does not advocate defensive or' take-out bids of more than one. Only when you are making, a forcing bjid or take-out, or have previously bid a longer suit, is a bid of two on a four-card suit recommended. When; vulnerable, fourcard bids require some plus value. In some cases dven the following suits may be bid: A J X-X, K Q XX, KJIOX, or Q IOXX.X. But it must be remembered that such bids are exceptions, not advocated for Ordinary hands. ’ It is important (throughput all the contracting to keep in mind the limitations of biddabii suits. Because at all times in defensive bidding, tak-ing-out, rebidding,! etc., as well as in original bids, you I must be sure that any suit you mention is biddable. Sometimes in responding to an informatory double you are forced to mention an unbiddabl4 suit, but no voluntary bid should $e made on such a suit, except in <;sopie cases on shaded suits. • ‘ 1.Opening the Bid, Third and Fourth Hand In making an original 'bid, the position of Dealer! and of Second Hand are almost Identical in that each makes his declaration before his partner has had a chance to bid or pass. After the Dealer and Second Hand hgve passed. Third Hand is in a different .position, his partner has shown that be cannot be counted on for honor-tric|kß. Therefore unless Third Hand has at least three honortricks he shoiilp pass; and Fourth Hand should follow the same rule. ■ Defensive rather than offensive strength is tire thing to be considered wh£n a player reopens the bidding and gives his opponents a Second chance to enter the contracting. Should your opponents have an advanced score, /eyen three honor-tricks would be insufficient for a third or fourth hand opening bid. Reniember that a hand is always stronger defensively when the honortricks are distributed rather than massed. The distribution of yous honor strength and protection in major suits are always important factors to keep in rninid when opening doubtful Third and I Fourth Hand bids. At the same time, do not allow yourself to be so fearful of opening the bidding th'at you are tempted to pass out sound minimum Fourth Hand bids which might result In securing your side a partial score or even, occasionally,, a .ganje. Your partner, although he has pasted originally, may be just under /his! quota of honortricks, or may hold some very I6ng suit, sufficiently strong for’a secondary bid. A.n old bridge wheeze which has cost players tuany points in the loss of valuable partial scores te: “Never open fourth hand unless you can see game in your hand." Actually to see the probability of game In yoqr own hand you would have to hav<» a holding of extraordinary strength; either great trump' length, or at leasts 5G honor tricks.. The question to ;ask yourself before opening a Fourth ifand bid is not, “Can I see gahie?” but, “Cun I see enough tricks to hope that, with about one trick from mj|r partner, I can save game against any bid my opponents are apt to declare.” Another imisunderstandipg, which occurs amopg less experienced play-* ers is that the position of Third or Fourth Hand carries the, same restrictions on blds follpwing the opening declaration as it does on the original bids. Once the contracting has been opened a player’s original position in regard to thfe dealer is an affair of practically no moment. (©. 1932. hv Leila Hattersley.)
