SUBSCRIPTION RATES .-ens.. World Needs Religion OBJECT of the recent Marian Congress in Ottawa, in the words of one writer, was "to start . a wave of religious renaissance which will turn men back to God and away from war and conflict." Canadians generally will welcome efforts in. that " direction. The Roman Catholic, church is an effective in- ternationa.l institution. It has gone on surviving ' and growing for 1900 years. Its prayers and its work in the cause of peace will have effect. We wish it well in its effort "to start a wave of religious renaissance." We wish the same for other f aiths. Was there ever a time when the world more needed it? "Full employment' is the best that governments can offer. Honest socialists know that their finest dreams, fully realized, do nothing more for the human race than give it the materials and , mechanisms required for animal existence. Milk cows on the carefully supervised farms that supply city milk get a clean stall, all the fresh water and chop they can eat, fresh bedding every day, carefully selected mates, expert medical care constantly. 5 Who wants to be a cow? Yet doing the same for the human race as has long since been done for cows is the great frenzy of our time. We are vastly concerned about putting stuff in men's stomachs and arranging things so they will "Z- have more time and money to devote to beer, movies, ball games and idleness. We are frantically building the social service state from which all blessings are supposed to flow and which is supposed to do as much for us as we now do for the cows. Very general, we find, is the uncomfortable feel- ing that none of these things, like the social service state, nor full employment, nor free beer, nor better motion pictures, are going to solv? man's immemorial problem ; living with himself in contentment and with his neighbors in peace; ajbove all, in knowing that there is some point to life, that he has sorye part of the answer to the riddle of human existence. We knw a lot of people rich in talent, money and power. But the happy people we know, the truly successful human beings, are all people with some kind of a religion ; some firm faith in a power beyond themselves. We have a very sick world, filled with spiritually sick people. We hope a religious renaissance is on the wav. CANADA FAR AHEAD CANADIANS enjoy more of the modern comforts of life than any other nation with possible exception of the United States, according to an interesting graph published in "Round Table," a publication for General Motors dealers and their employees. With only six-tenths of one per cent of the world's population and 6 per cent of its land area, Canada, under the free enterprise system, enjoys an overwhelming advantage not only in industrial strength but in the everyday comforts of life. The mileage of its railroads and telegraph wires,' in relation to population, surpasses all nations. The electricity it produces nearly doubles that of any other nation. In everyday comforts Canada is in the unique class of the United States; it has a telephone for every 5 persons ... an automobile for every 8 . . . a radio for every 7 ... 32 times more automobiles ... 22 times, more telephones and nearly 7 times more radios than in Russia. In the dissemination of news, Canada stands comparison with the United States. In proportion to its population, it has two-thirds as many daily newspapers as the United States . . . nearly 3 times as many as in Great Britain, and 55 times more than in Russia. 212 Fourth Street RUPERT MOTORS LTD.

LINZEY INSURANCE - RENTALS - REAL ESTATE j(Next Door to B.C. Messenger). LETTERBOX NORTHERN" POUT NEEDED Editor, Daily News: After thirty-five years of pilgrimage in our northland I can assure you I was more than in-' terested In your editorial on daily train service. When one meets so many men over thirty, years of age whohave never' seen a track laying machine at) work It really appears as if our country is finished and painted. There seem to be few men who realize that the railway ,L which the trl-weekly trains travel on through Prince George was designed as a through trunk railway from Monctoh, N.B., to Prince Rupert. Could these men realize that if Sir Wilfrid Laurier had been permitted to finish his Grand Trunk Pacific Railway and set it going as he designed It and put the money into it to keep it going through Its infertile years as Sir John McDonald did his CP. Ry., then 1 am sure that we all could see where the G.T.P.. would be a going concern today and would not have cost the country a dollar more than the present mix-up. Prince Rupert would be on a par with Vancouver as an ocean port, docking ocean liners from Vladivostock, the Pacific terminal of the Siberean railway as Charles Hays planned. Prince George would have been a divisional terminal employing more men and handling more traffic than it ever will handle even if all their present dreams are realized. Can we remember that Prince Rupert is 500 miles nearer orien tal points than is Vancouver, which means that a boat making a round trip sails 1000 miles extra in order to pass Prince Rupert up, and there were 415 of these sailings In 1936, mean ing there were 415,000 miles of extra sailing done in that one year, but this extra mileage of boat sailing put passenger, mail and express traffic into Van couver to load five and sometimes eight CP. passenger trains out of Vancouver daily. Now what would happen if Prince Rupert and Prince George should be getting even a fair share of that traffic? And why not, when it is claimed ,that Prince Rupert is two days sailing nearer oriental points. Well, if one consults the time table it will be found that 48 hours would, put passengers traffic in Winnipeg before the boat arrives at Vancouver.. Surely it is as plain as a har vest moon in a clear sky at midnight .that all the north country needs is an overseas port on the North Pacific whether the Port is at Prince Rupert or elsewhere.

Constable Grant T A 11 A 1 1 is Awaraea meaai i Constable Andy Grant, who was stationed at Prince Rupert and Hazelton years ago and who is well known here, was honored recently, in view of his excellent record. The ceremony took place at Duncan, Vancouver Island. The B.C. Police Medal was presented to' him for long service and good conduct by Cpl. Eric Peplar, provincial deputy attorney-general. In doing so he referred to Constable Grant's more than 20 years service and Incidents in his career, one being the occasion when he risked his life to aid Skeena settlers during a flood some years ago.

It started coming on him the, day we were married." ANGER TO BE SENT BACK TO KETCHIKAN Gerald W. Anger, whose story of shipwreck in the Aleutians followed by an epic lifeboat voyage adross the Gulf of Alaska, was discredited by police and immigration authorities 24 hours after his arrival here last Friday, will be shipped back to Ketchikan as soon as steamship passage is arranged for him, Immigration Officer R. D. Evans said today. Anger, who gave .his name as Andrew Young on his arrival here in a 16-foot sail boat, has been in the city Jail since Saturday afternoon when he admitted the falsity of his story. No charges are expected to be laid. Object of the local Immigration office is to get rid of him as soon jis possible, and it Is expected that he may be shipped back to Ketchikan, where hlj voyage originated, tomorrow night on the Prince Rupert. The Customs office, so far, has reached no decision regarding the release of the sail boat or equipment which was seized shortly before Anger's detention on Saturday. Questioning of Anger by the authorlUes has resulted so far in no coherent story as to his background, other than that he spent the last three months around Ketchikan. It is believed however, that he has been in Alaska for some time. Classified Advertising Paysl See Selection of our . . .
