GET YOUR TICKET IN THE ELKS' XMAS HAMPER DRAWING
The Elks Chrstmas hamper drawng, that harbinger of >he festive Christmas season, has made it�3 appearance again. This is a drawing in which art expenditure of 25 cents gives the ticket holder a chance to draw turkeys, a goose, ducks or ch ck-en, and a'j the same time br.ghten the Christmas for the r members of needy famiLc-j in and around the city.
The distr.bution of hampers at Christmas has been the concern of the officers and members of Pr'nce George Lxige No. 122, B.P.O.E. Mnce the Chris nuw of 1929, and through th.s medium they have raised and expended something more than S2.000. If you take time to think the matter over you will agre^ .his sum cf money, judiciously Invested, has brought a lot of happiness ro Prince George families, and given them reason to believo lhat after all there is really Eomething in the vaun ed Chi-ist-mas sent ment. I; may be doubted if in any other way the limited money raised to aoiLst the needy could be made to go further.
And so he E!k.s are on the job again, soliciting the purchase of two-bit tickets :n the r hamper drawing. Two-bits is not a lot of money, even by present-day reckoning, but when you can manage to ga her up a lo; of them \l in surprising what their concc/nfcrated effort can accomplish. Eveiy cent of the money real zed from this drawing will be used to purchase Chris mas cheer. The labor in connection with the drawing, the purchase of the good things making up the hampers and their delivery on Christmas Eve, 's all voluntary. The Elks do all the work cheerfulJiy, but they do ask all persons who can 'b chip in and buy one or more tickets in the drawing in order that there may be a little sunshine for all on Christmas Day.

MONDAY EVENING'S SESSION OF CITY COUNCIL WAS BRIEF

Perry, M.L.A., relative lo the attribution of emplbyment in connection with public works undertaken by the provincial authority '.n the vicinity of Prince George, bu' In the end it was decided to table the cor-respondence for the time.
There was n request from Hon. John pfart, niln'ster of finance, that ;he ciiy forward municipal debentures to the value of $2000 to cover the government advance of this, amount on account df unemployment relief as from thn first of June last. This request will be complied with, and it was �also decided to make a request of a fur her advance of $2000 to cover accruing charges on account of unemployment relief.
STRONG DETACHMENT OF R.C.M.P. MOVE INTO CALGARY AREA
Ottawa. Nov. 14�A s'rong detachment of the R.C.M.P. has been moved imo the Calgary area where unemployed have been taking a threatening a.ttl ude. Some time ago a number of the unemployed refused work offered them and since then the situation has become threatening.
Under such circumstances it is fear-
ed :hat after the taking of the plebiscite ^00.000 .storm troops may flock Into the Saar and take charge on the ground that, details aside, the district. by the plebiscite had returned to Germany. There is l'ttle doub: In such an eventuality the French would throw a force into the Saar to ensure the orderly execution of the provisions of he treaty, Ptid on a cnll from Geneva France would be justified in such a move. The b'g commercial asiXit in the Saar is the co.il mines. These have been awarded to France to Indemnify her for the unwarranted destruction of the mines in nor hern France by the German army. Provision is made for the purchase of the mines by Germany in the event- of the Saar be!ng returned to Germany, but the treaty calls for payment in gold. s.nd Germany is not in a petition to pay in gold as she has been already defaulting on her foreign commitments except in cases In which her cred'tors can enforce a "fqueeze play." There is a prospect for trouble not only as o the price to be: paid but the manner of payment. If the situation is not carefully handled there will be brracrov of the provisions of the treaty of Versailles which calls for the demili arizruion of the Rhineland and prohibits Germany from, sending troops across the Rhine, and violations of the treaty of Versailles, which Germany has since denounced, will bring ;n France and Italy and poaJibly Great Britain. Europe is in for an anxous time un "1 the Siar situation has been reconciled.
LIEUTENANT LINDSAY CONFINED IN BARRACKS FOR OVERSTAY OF LEAVE
London, Nov. 12�The people of Great, Britain have beon amused over the latest display of red tape in- army regulations. It he.-:- just b'^en learned that Lieutenant Lindsay, he f'rst man to cross Greenland on foot, was confined to barracks upon Irs return for overstaying his leave by --.ix weeks. The exploit of Lieutenant Lindsay did not conn for anything w'th the rri li-tary authorities. The outstanding fact was Lieutenant Lindsay had overstny-ed his leave and into barracks he mu*3t go. Later i was represented Lieutenant Lindsay was so suua'ed 'n Greenland that he could not. get back brfore the expiry of his 'eave and the charge was dropped.
