Sheep Killed; Dogs Shot; and Owners in Court
Ferndale Farmers Discover Police Dogs and Sheep Are Unfortunate Combination.
Withj the tremendous speeding up of airplane production in England, the need for metals has become an ever-increasing demand. In parti-
cular, aluminum is needed to make parts for darting jfighter planes and heavier bombing craft. Scenes like this are common as British house-
wives give up their extra pots and p3ns so that the aluminum can be converted into needed plane parts by British airplane factories.

Four sheep killed, nine injured, and two police dogs shot; one farmer fined $40 and $1.50 costs, while the owner of the sheep paid an equal amount in costs and took an alleged loss of $40, was the sequel to a. neighborhood row betv/een two farmers in the Ferndale district which concluded in police court on Friday last.
John Karpicius, Ferndale farmer, complained to the police that his sheep were being killed by a dog belonging to neighbor John Nehring, and the following charge was therefore laid:

Safe Robbed In Vanderhoof Provision Store
Maynard G. Kerr Robbed of #175 in Cash by Yeggs Early Wednesday Morning.
Information received at the B.C. police office here yesterday morning states the safe in Maynard G. Kerr's grocery and meat store in Vanderhoof was blown some time in the early hours of Wednesday and $175 in cash stolen.
According to the report to police headquarters the bandits moved the safe from the front office into the meat refrigerator before setting off the explosion which wrecked the | safe door and gave access to the cash. By doing- this the bandits lessened the danger of the blast being heard outside the store as the walls of the refrigerator are heavily insulated with sawdust.
The police are checking on movements of all transients and hope to get a line on the safe-crackers in the next few hours.
First Muster Parade District Defence Unit
The Empire spirit that inspired the words "Britons Never Will Be Slaves" was strongly exemplified when the Prince George Voluntary Defence Battalian held its first muster parade on Sunday morning. From the city's chief magistrate, the local member of the provincial legislature, bankers, prominent businessmen on down to the lowliest laborer in the city's industrial and economic life in the goodly number that assembled to the call of the officer commanding, the intense interest displayed in the aims of the organization served notice that any subversive activities in this region will be met quickly and der.lt with , thoroughly. j
While discussions go on between [ the attorney-general of British Co- i lumbia and Ottawa about the organization of a home defence corps. | Prince George has already formed a Voluntary Defence Service Battalion.. [ This is an entirely voluntary organ-
outcome of a general feeling that |atbend the" fair the citizenry of this community shall be prepared to some extent at least to meet any infiltration of fifth columnists by the enemy.
The skeleton organization has been under way for some weeks, and while the Citizen will refrain from publishing facts that are liable to be censured, or might give information to the enemy, it feels it can be said a very satisfactory turn-out of men was evidenced at the first
