IDENTIFICATION CARDS TOGETHER..."

Cards are dealt, Now you must show

It's sometimes embarass-ing when a student is asked to show his transit identifi­cation card.

But the operator has no choice in the matter.

His instructions are that children 12 or over must pay adult fares unless they dis­play their transit cards. Then they may travel at the reduced children's fare be­tween 7.30 a.m. and 6 p.m. on school days.

That's why we appeal to school children and to uni­versity students and staff.

Please have your transit identification cards ready.

That way, you can avoid paying the full adult fare.

woman who rushed up to a famous violinist after a con­cert and cried: "I'd give my life to play as you do!"

The great man answered soberly: "I did."

Nature carves mountains . . . while man carves his totems Adults and children alike will find excitement in

the many exhibits on display at the City Museum, located at Hastings and Main Streets.

One new exhibit depicts one of nature's great miracles—the grinding of mountains to powder in the immensity of time, the settling of sedimentary particles on lake bottoms, the gradual formation of rock, and transitions from one rock form to another.

Marl, a form of limey clay, for example, changes under pressure into limestone. Subjected to further pressure and heat in the processes of nature, it be­comes marble.

Continued fom page 1— Against the background

of this gradual cycle involv­ing millions of years, the his­tory of man appears minute and modern.

Other exhibits tell of man's ingenuity in shaping nature to his needs.

You'll want to see an au­thentic replica of a Kwakiutl home carved by Mrs. Ellen Neel, also the master carv­ings of Mungo Martin and Charlie James.

There are many illustra­tions of the west coast In­dian's ingenious use of cedar. These literally range from cradles to coffins, beautifully painted and carved in totem ddtigns.

Scalping knives and skull crackers are included in a display of weapons, tools and costumes of the Plains Indians.

There are exhibits from India, Africa. Egypt, Poly­nesia, Australia, New Zea­land, Central and South America.

One recent addition to the Museum is a model of a Mayan Temple from Yuca­tan, Mexico. Another is a life size figure of an Indian carver working on a mask.

There's a lot to see at the City Museum and Curator T. H. Ainsworth and his staff are constantly adding to the collection.

The Museum is open Mon­day through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friendly at­tendants are located on each floor to help you.

Make a date with your family to visit the Museum soon.

The quiet little lady had been bossed and dominated constantly by her lazy and demanding husband. When he died she had his body cremated and placed the ashes in an egg timer.

'Now you'll work for me you miserable old bum," she declared as she placed two eggs on the stove to boil.

apart to see why they don't go-"

He: "So what?" She: "You had better go."
