Prince Rupert last night to win a medal as the first motorist to drive from Florida to this city, is not the first to tell of Canadian customs officers at the British Columbia border advising 'motor tourists, no doubt through sheer and de-.plorable, if not inexcusable, ignorance, that there ;was no highway open to Terrace and Prince Ru-'pert. How such officials should not yet know the northern transprovincial highway leading to the coast here Is open seems almost unbelieve-able but it seems, nevertheless, true. For instance Mr. and Mrs. Farnsworth, recent settlers at Terrace from Nevada, were similarily misadvised and, ilike Captain Slayton, almost abandoned the trip. t The Associated Boards of Trade of Central British Columbia and other organizations were well advised in making vigorous protest to the appropriate government authorities and it is hoped the pro- tests will have immediate effect. Certainly, government officials, particularly those having to do with immigration, should be the last to be so ill informed about their own country and its vital "travel facilities. KEEPING UP TO DATE WHETHER WE ARE READY to admit it or not, this has become an age of international-ism. No longer is it sufficient tor a citizen merely to keep up with happenings in his own community, his own province or even his own coun-. try. In this fast-moving period a development in a country or city thousands of miles away can affect a Canadian community. The last war emphasized to Canadians that the time has passed when they could think of their country as a land isolated and protected by vast oceans on either coast. Events in Asia and in Europe were .interlocked with the destiny of the Dominion. The end of war left Canada with new and lasting responsibilities in helping to make and keep the peace. The citizen shares those responsibilities because his representatives in parliament can carry out programs and, policies only to the extent they are backed -by the people of Canada. Where can the facts be found that will enable a Canadian to express a thoughtful, well-informed opinion on an issue of national importance? To what source can he turn for background information on an international development? Special departments of newspapers are one help special commentaries by news analysts, interpretative articles by correspondents and other expressions of expert opinion. Magazines contain many worthwhile articles written from the Canadian viewpoint. Practically every library has umeiy dooks on current ailairs.

It ; can provide an interesting way of broadening one's ; horizons, making new friends and gaining satis- faction from being in step with events. Being informed arid alert is more than the duty ' of a good citizen. It can safeguard liberty itself. ; Mr. and M.S.
