Sudden passing Of Jack II. Browne, vet

from q paralytie stroke early the following

for some years been printer on the VAN
couyer. B. c.. Province. An expert at mis-
trade. he was considered one of the fast
machine operators in the Pacific Northwest.
Browne not only was a conscientious,
faithful and loyal employee, but true friend
to everyone. He was never failing source
of good humor. His good disposition and
eyer-present optimism were inspirations TO
all with whom he came in contact. Nothing

CRITICAL OF CROP
ESTIMATES SYSTEM

Editor. The Times: I listened
recently to the radio dramatiza-
ton of the release OF the ma
tionsl agricultural crop report
which will occur al exactly 3
pm. on Tuesday of this week.
The scene is laid in the office Of
the secretary Of agriculture. The
report from each state "a re-
ceived and kept under lock and
key. In fact under two locks
and keys. When all reports are
IN. the crop experts retire under
guard to a secret chamber de-
void OF telephone OF any visible
means Of communication. You
can hear the guards jangling
keys and can hear thu key click
in the lock.
When the experts have tabu-
lated the reports and the sum

everyone holds his breath. Not
