Show Goes On! Father, Brother of Young Performer Fulfilled Engage
 Under Diff.
 culties.

The old adage that the Show laust Go On" was brought out very forcibly to those in the know ae last nights performance of the Elks' championship rodeo.
 During the matinee perform ance yesterday afternoon Tom Mix Eskew. l6 year old son of Col. Jim Eskew of Garland, Texas, was taken i'll. The youth was in 90 much pain that his mother, Mrs. Dolly Eskew sent @ substi- ute in to the horseback quadrille and trick riding in her place and remained with her sick son in their house trailer during the matinee performance.
 Just at the close of the after noon performance his illness be- came so serious that he was rushed to St. Mary's hospital where 1t was found that he had a ruptured appendix and an op- eration was immediately per- eormed.
 Back in the arena last night Col. Eskew, arena director, though grave and worried over the illness of his son carried on directing the arena, taking part in the rop- ing, roping six horses running abreast and performing other duties that are his lot as arena director, while Junior, the older son who has rode the range with the younger brother and has taken part with him in countless rodeo performances, went about his work of fancy roping, pickup, trick riding and calf roping, as though there was no worry over the health of any one of the fam- fly, and while the performance went on, 0 father and brother anxiously awaited the finale 50 they could rush to the hospital and find out how Little Brother, as he is called by members of the rodeo, was getting along. He was in e coma, not having come from under the influence of the ether used in the operation when the rodeo performance ended, and only those closest to the E.skew family knew that under the con- ditions that their thoughts were at the hospital instead of in the arena, but like the old saying, 'The Show Must Go On" and 1t did.

 GROWING WORSE
Premier Hepburn Again Has Deied Labor -ls
 Backed By Govt

Toronto, Ont, April 15.-(UP)- Premier Mitchell F. Hepburn an- nounced today that he had been as- sured of the HOO per cent coopera- tion" of the dominion tfederaD gov ernment in his fight against John l.. Lewis and communism
 Hepburn's statement followed the resignation of two members of his cabinet who could not agree with his fight on the American leaders of the United Automobile Workers conducting strike in Oshawa, and a general belief that the deflections in his official family would force a general provincial election.
 He said he had had long con- ference with Ian Mackenzie, minis ter of national defense, and had been assured of complete backing.
 Yesterday in Ottawa the federal government announced that it would intervene in the Oshawa situation where $500 striking workers have closed the plant of the General Mo- tors company of Canada.
 "All we have to do is ask for as- sistance from the federal govern- ment and 1t will be forthcoming, ; Hepburn said. Federal police and all other resources of the govern ment are at our disposal"
