Fostering the museum also appears to fall in line with that of promoting tourism in Prince Ru- | pert, and unless museum cannot or unless it steadily bh is lily being | re the project is taken up by some or- ganization with promotional instinets and working ability, both are likely to suffer defeat. We have here a considerable amount of the sue- cessful promotion of various projects by the Junior Chamber of Commerce, a well organized body in Prince Rupert. Promotion of tourism, including that of the museum, would appear to be a project of con- tinuing challenge to young men and one of outstand- ing benefit to the entire community. As | See It | by Ohiais Philpott | Belief in Miracles ELIEVERS in miracles can defend their faith, with some logic, against the attacks of skeptics. It is just as miraculous, it is said, for the world and its affairs to run smoothly as it is, for instance, for the world to stop turning. | Thundering Herd \ONE advantage of having to lie in bed all day is that you get lots of time! to listen to the Republican convention in Chicago. , Even being an ear-witness of that remarkable gathering I think J get the answer to some thing which Europeans can never | understand: Why has Canada never become part of the U.S.A. when there would be so many material ad- j vantages for dcing $0? | ‘ Such a point of view is admirable, whether one ean adopt it or not. To adopt it is to regain some- thingof the unspoiled spirit of childhood, which ae- cepts the world as a place where anything may happen and where everything that happens is won- derful. , The sadness of growing old is not only in the limitations that age places on one’s activities, but also in the loss of the capacity for wonder and de- light in what the fates may provide. ” | The best answer I ever got to \that riddle was from a Liberal | Canadian M.P. who summed it ul! up this way. }and too messy to attract. our | people.” , . * + + “EB” GUN’S CREW reloads its twin four-inch weapon during a bombardment by the Canadian destroyer HMCS Nootka of enemy targets on th WAIVONS ver ~— east coast of Korea.

No politician ever before in this province had such a record as he—nine times victor in Fernie in general elections. It’s a record . probably unique in Canada: Old Tom Uphill is politically indes- tructilie, tOher politicians wisn they knew his secret. Tom says there’s no secret to it “Be honest, and God-fearin’,” he says, with a roguish look, “and you'll find the good Lord is on the side of the righteous.” Uphill is 78 now; amd he appears good for many years yet.
