BEEF Chopped 3 " i CIVIL MARRIAGES Manitoba Judge Says Civil Ceremony Should Have First Place Winnipeg, Man.--A compul- sory civil marriage ceremony, as well as a clerical service, may be the next step in the province's marriage reforms, if the opinion of Judge L. St. G. Stubbs, Mani- toba's first real = "Marrying Judge", carries welght. Out of 52 marriages performed at the law courts since the new act allow- force March 26, 1931, Judge Stubbs has parformed 47, and he is convinced that the civil cere- mony should accompany any other service when it does not take its place, The state, under the Marril- age Act, confers the power to marry, and the civil ceremony should be recognized as the final bond," he sald, "Nor would this lead to precipitafe action on the part of young things who thought it a lark to finish off a party with a wedding ring, Far from it. Midnight marriages are for- bidden under the nev act, The only difference lles in the brev- ity, and--for the traditionally nervous bridegroom ---compara- tive painlessness of the civil ser- vice, It takes just tlLree minutes to tie the knot, which means that civil marriages come at 'he rate of $4 a minute, including the $5 license fee. The only charges arc $56 for the judge's fee and $2 registration, and in many cases the kind-hearted: judge may waive his fee." Many rare experiences have come Judge Stubbs' way since March. The younger generation who take pride in their rational- Ism are choosing the civil ser- vice in preference to church cere- monials and show an inclination to make the man bear his hadge of matrimony by using the double ring ceremony, In som> cases divorced persons, who have been refused a second marriage by their rector have come, and there have been instances of persons who disbelieved in the church and dispensed with a ceremony, coming to have their union sanc- tioned by the state and bringing their family with them, One of the early marriages which roused unusual interest Was that of Judge. Stubbs' own daughter, who was married by Judge Cory, May 2, and a recent one is that of Gloria, daughter of John Queen, M.L.A.,, which took place Nov. 24, Ste. holm, Sweden--The Swedish Government, keenly aware of the mportance of Giving work rather than doles to the unemployed, has annointed a committee of experts 'o investigate the possibility of trv population by employing them in a more intensive care of the Government forests. Particular at- tention will be paid to the possibil- ty of iincreasing the use of Swed- sh fire wood and charcoal in the domestic market, It is intended to interest not only the communities but also the in- dustries in general in this plan; and an investigation will be e as to the chinceg of using Swedish wood oreducts for obtaining automotive and tractor power, the heating of hous = and similar purposes.

U.S. Hockey Team Threatens Canada Stars and Stripes Will Stand Out at the Olympics Winnipeg, -Man,, Dec. 16, Hopes of United States hockey- men are none too sanguine on the outcome of the battle for world honors at Lake Placid In February. Though the Stars and Stripes, from all ~ indications, should feel assured of the finest squad it has ever entered In Olympic competition, the certain strength of Canada's sextette is overshadowing U.S. aspirations. "My guess is that it is going to be as hard work as usual to get a team in this country to compare with your best," states Alfred Winsor, of Boston, head coach of the U.S. Olympic hockey team, in a message to The Cana- dian Press, 'Lack of ice and practice periods cut down our chances to a minimum." Coach Winsor expresses doubt that any college teams will com- pete in the tourney planned to as- certain the rating of teams and players. The U.S. Olympic com- mittee has announced that serles of play-offs between strongest teams from Pittsburgh, Chicago and Minneapolis and from New York and Boston will be staged within ten days after Christmas Final tryouts are to be held prior to January 18. Possibility that college teams may not contribute their strength to the general pool, suggested by Coach Winsor, is the only indica. tion not pointing to the States having a better team than ever before. Since Harvard trimmed McGill last season, the collegiate fleld has been .looked upon as probably productive of a goodly share of the U.S. Olympic talent "Strongest teams in the coun- try have come from New York and Boston as a rule," Coach Winsor mentions. In this connec- tion it is recalled that the Boston Hockey Club entry in the world tourney early this year at Kry- nica, Poland, held the strong Manitoba Varsity Grads team to a hard-won 2-to-0 decision in the final. That the American entry in the world tourney at Lake Placid, N.Y., will be the most powerful ever sent by United States Into Olympic competition is the firm belief of most Canadian observ- ers, And the States has always been in the running. No Stars- and-Stripes crew competed in the 1928 games, but in 1920 and 1924 the Americans progressed to the finals before yielding to defeat----both times by Canada. Undoubtedly the U.S. sextette is the greatest threat to Canadian supremacy, especially with the title-spries being played in the heart of the east. It is regarded results for phe nation. j college squads will fail to offer every possible ald to the build- ing up of a powerful American team. Ample assistance could be given with little loss of time from studies, The fact that about half the games at Lake Placid will be played on outdoor ice is consid- ered a point somewhat in the favor c¢f United States teams, already accustomed to outdoor competition, The close-checking style of the highly-defensive Am- erican teams, too, may find favor with the Europeans who are ex- pected to officiate in the. crucial games; too-liberal use of the body is frowned on {. Canada. Selection of the U.S, team is in the hands of the Olympic committee, under the chairman- ship of Rufus J. Trimble, of New York. To The Canadian Press, Mr, Trimble has indicated that the U.S. squad will be in the nature of an all-star selection, ex- pressing the opinion that a large number of the winning tourney- team's players will be chosen, "lI am hopeful that the U.S. hockey team will be representa- tive of the best amateur spirit and most skilful hockey play on this side of the border," Mr. Trimble mentions, 'I hope that we will give good, 'hard, clean competition, result of which will be a cementing of the bonds be- tween United States and Canada and an augsientation of our mut- ual respect." VETERAN CAPTAIN ON FINAL VOVAGE Captain Evan Davies of White Star Line Is Retiring ---- Halifax, N, 8, -- When Captain Evan Davies brought the White Star liner Baltic into Halifax Har- bor last week-end he was on his iast round trip before retiring atter more than thirty-three years at sea. The veteran commander, who is two years senior to any other command- er of White Star vessels, told Hali- (ax friends he hal no definite plans for the future byt believed he would remain ashore and possibly take up farming at his home in/ Nevin North Wales. Captain Davies was born in 1872 and went to sea at the age of twelve as a cook aboard a coast- wise ketch. He estimates that dur- ing his career at sea he has travel- led 'more than 2,000,000 miles and has sailed on every type of vessel that has been built since he took to the water. He takes great pride in the fact that he has worked in ev- ery capacity aboard ship and at- PLEA FROM WEST People Need Warm Clothes | to Face Rigors of Winter Hamilton, Ont. -- "Say it with underwear," is the appeal in the focal press written by a harassed minister in Kincaid, Sask, (Rev, Mr. Gawthorp), 'What winter clothing can you get for a fam- James W.

Well, after my experience I am beginning to wonder if the people here wear underwear any more. I had a man call to see me who haa driven 256 miles on a cold winter day, and he sald he had no underwear on, and he had no overcoat, The relief officer here went out into the country to in- vestigate a case, and the man told him he had no underwear but that he was not worrying about himself so much as the children, "Has any one the nerve to start an underwear club?
