ALBERTANS WILL
NOT WEAR MASKS

Calgary, Alta, Nov. 27.-Efforts of
the provincial and local authorities
throughout Alberta to enforce the
wearing of influenza masks have met
with only partial success, although
scores of persons have been fined in
the police court.
Apparently the approved method of
wearing a mask is to keep it suspend
ed under the chin until a policeman
appears in sight when it is hastily
pulled over the nose and mouth. De-
spite the objections, the local board
Of health has decided in gradually lift
ing the influenza restrictions, that
masks must be worn in theatres, street
cars, moving picture shows and the
like though the wearing of them on
the streets is now abolished.
Theatres also have reopened and the
audience presented a strange appear
ance, the management enforcing the
rule of wearing masks.
Not to be outdone, Dame Fashion
decreed that women shall wear black
masks. Theatre crowds present a
checkerboard appearance, with the
black masks of the women alternating
with the white masks of their escorts.

OF NATIONS
CAN COMMAND

London, Nov. 29.--Sir r. Il. Borden,
former Canadian premier. speaking at
the annual Thanksgiving day banquet
Of the American society argued for n
league of nations.
Let us have league of nations If
1t can be realized, but ut least let us
have that understanding ana unity OF
purpose and action between the two
worldwide English-speaking common
wealths which will save humanity in
years to come from the unbearable hor.
ror, suffering and sacrifice from u war
such as this.
Omitted by ties of race. language and
tradition, the nations Of the Rritanic
commonwealth and the states forming
the American republic can command
the peace of the world. They could
have commanded it in August, 1914,
had they given Germany joint warn
ing. Neither nation can divorce itself
from these joint obligations. Let no
unworthy distrust divide those who
united can command the worlds abid-
ing peace"

Caruso should sing song OF fhls

those who believe that out Of the many
war-bern songs, the most of which wall
soon pass into oblivion, this one will
live. The dynamic energy of George

the passionate eloquence of the great
Italian tenor, produce an effect that IS

are all of that.
A popular song that strikes SYM

soldier song that Arthur Field sings on
a Victor Record, Oh! How / Hate to

the happy go lucky spirit of the soldier;
and besides, it has sentiment that the

Two gems of opera, of which people

there is not Victrola in every home in

music that best suits the taste; and
he will gladly do it. =

High School Notes

School has been resumed again after
the vacation on account of the infiu-
enza, but since then two of the high
school teachers have had the flu: Miss
Finch and Miss Celin. Both were able
to resume their duties this week.
BY the order of the Board of Health
the high school body is dismissed after
each class for period Of five minutes.
Everyone is requested to leave the
building while the rooms are ventilat-
ed. 81
The United War Work Campaign
was successfully carried out in the
high school. The boys allotment was
tn ee dollars and the girls one dollar
and fifty cents. Committees were ap-
pointed from each class to collect the
money. The amount subscribed by the
students Of this school was 1912.
The seniors have had two class
meetings so far this year. The first
one was held to elect officers. The Of
ficers elected were: President, Walter
Penwarden; secretary, Harold YER
milya; treasurer, Ethel Mckee, and
Sergeant-at-arms, Edwin Taylor. The
secon dclass meeting was held for the
purpose of selecting class colors. Sew
eral combinations were suggested by
the class, but the two most popular
were gol dand white, and green and
silver. Green and silver finally won by
vote, and the colors are now up in the
assembly room.
The Junior class held meeting last
week, the purpose of which was to or
game the class. Election of officers
took place and the following were
elected: Eugene Kilmer, president;
George Holta, vice president; Imogene
Mclean, secretary; Agnes Parsons,
treasurer; Ida lverson, sergeant-at-
arms.
The Freshman class has had about
ten new members added to it's number
this week.
A high school dance was held Fri
day, November Is, in the gymnasium
of the high school. The dance was
we'll attended by the pupils and sew
eral of the parents acted as chap
erons. Another dance is to be held
Friday, November 9, and it is also ex-
pected that one will be held on New
Years eve.
The high school students were given
holiday Thanksgiving day. As so
much time was lost because of the
Spanish influenza, the students were
given only one day at Thanksgiving
time this year.
Mrs. L. G. English, social hygiene
lecturer, gave series of lectures at
the high school last week. Miss Dor
othy English contributed several flute
and whistling numbers to the pro-
gram.
