As

AS
GOES
FRANCE
so
goes
Europe"
is
being
A
said
by
some
observers
of
the
scene
of
international
politics
today.
And
as
goes
Europe
so
may
go
the
world
some
day.
It
is
small
wonder
then
that
we
view
with
keen
interest
and
anxiety
the
fast-moving
daily
developments
in
the
Republic,
wracked
as
it
is
with
political
crisis
and
industrial
unrest
which
it
appears
to
be
generally
admitted
is
being
inspired
by
influence
from
without
on
political
dupes
or
traitors,
a
sort
of
thing
that
France
has
been
subjected
to
through
the
years
and
which
has
made
her
the
battle
ground
for
wars
both
civil,
and
international.
Possibly,
the
new
Premier
Robert
Schuman,
Al-sation
Catholic,
will
be
able
to
bring
about
a
stable
government.
It
seems
that
a
moderate
administration
is
the
only
salvation
but,
without
the
co-operation
of
one
or
the
other
of
the
communists
or
the
De
Gaullists,
it
would
appear
that
the
maintenance
of
a
government
is
goinf
to
be
a
difficult
thing.
Meantime,
it
is
not
to
be
denied
that
there
are
the
volatile
political
elements
in
France
today
that
might
readily
be
ignited
into
bloody
idealogical
warfare
which
might,
in
turn,
easily
preface
international
conflict
along
similar
lines.
These
are
anxious
days
for-
France
and
the
world.
TRAIL
BLAZERS
PASS
ON
MANY
WERE
APPROACHING
middle
age
when
they
settled
in
Prince
Rupert
some
thirty-five
odd
years
ago.
So
today,
as
one
pioneer
citizen
follows
another
into
the
beyond
with
what
seems
like
increasing
frequency
it
is
perhaps
fitting
to
pause
for
a
moment,
to
reflect
on
existence,
and
contemplate
the
inevitable.
Fam-aily
and
old
friends
feel
a
sense
of
loss.
Never
again,
"the
touch
of
a
vanished
hand,
the
sound
of
.a
voice
that
is
stilled."
"
But
to
pass
on,
after
having
performed
one's
part,
obscure
or
prominent,
in
the
founding
of
what
is
destined
to
become
one
of
the
major
ports
of
the
Pacific,
Is
to
have
lived
a
life
of
much
usefulness-Men
and
women
who,
of
their
own
volition,
tame
a
wilderness,
accept
hazards
and
discomforts
as
they
come,
and
are
content
to
see
it
through
to
the
end,
possess
courage,
strength
and
resolve-
They
blaze
the
trail,
not
follow
a
path
already
made.
BRIGHTER
CHRISTMAS
THIS
IS
THE
TIME
when
stores
throughout
I
Canada
are
displaying
Christmas
merchandise
and
grimly
reminding
us
of
the
number
of
shopping
days
left
before
Christmas.
In
spite
of
the
oft-repeated
charge
that
this
season
js
too
highly
commercialized,
there
is
no
other
time
of
the
year
which
seems
so
charged
with
excitement
and
eager
anticipation.
Boards
of
Trade
and
Chambers
of
Commerce
in
many
communities
and,
in
particular,
the
merchants
in
those
organizations,
have
many
ways
of
marking
this,
festive
season.
Santa
Claus
parades
are
a
definite
feature
in
our
larger
cities
and
few
communities
are
so
small
that
a
co-operatiye
effort
coulcHiot
arrange
for,
at
least,
a
visit.
Colored
street
lighting
and
special
Christmas
decoration
have
become
a
"must"
in
most
shopping
areas.
An
innovation
in
some
cities
is
the
soft
playing
of
Christmas
carols
over
outdoor
public
address
systems
with
several
amplifiers,
in
each
block.
Other
subjects
worthy
of
discussion
and
mutual
agreement
are:
Standardization
of
store
hours,
extension
of
credit,
charges
for
gift
wraoping,
exchange
and
refund
regulations,
co-operative
advertising.
.
Entertainments
for
childrenspecial
theatre
matinees,
Christmas
parties
and
community
Christmas
trees
are
also
traditional
features.
A
genuine
desire
to
bring
a
Merry
Christmas
to
all
in
the
community
and
a
little
showmanship
can
do
much
to
brighten
a
city
for
the
festive
season,
make
it
more
interesting
for
its
own
citizens
and
more
attractive
to
out-of-town
people
who
will
be
glad
to
shop
in
a
town
that
seems
to
possess
real
Christmas
spirit.
AN
OLD
GAME
AGAIN
WHAT
IS
REGARDED
as
the
newest
and
least
known
type
of
sleuths,
the
scientific
art
detective
continue
to
demonstrate
their
ability.
They
are
beating
a
game
that
has
flourished
for
centuries
that
of
copying
or
tinkering
with
priceless
paintings
and
selling
them
to
collectors
or
museums
for
large
sums,
indeed.
Crooks
are
clever,
talented
and
numerous.
Not
more
than
seventy
paintings
stand
to
the
credit
of
the
Old
Master,
Van
Dyck,
yet
there
are
two
thousand
"guaranteed
genuine
Van
Dycks",
many
of
which
are
said
to
be
in
the
United
States.

says

spent
the
Sabbath
In

around

The
ground
stiffened

there
was'
a
sizeable
wind
blowing
practically
all

and
far
Into

night.
Most
people
stayed
close

to
do.
This
was
his
ninth
crossing
of
the
Atlantic,
but
his
first
by
air.
Mr.
Olsen
left
Prince
Rupert
late
in
August,
194G,,to
visit
his
brother
and
other
relatives
at
Nam
sos
in
northern
Norway,
for
the
first
time
in
12
years.
Once
in
Norway,
however,
he
found
it
difficult
to
get
steamship
passage
back,
so
he
decided
after
waiting
several
months,
to
fly.
Leaving
Norway
three
days
previously,
he
arrived
at
Prince
Rupert
Friday
afternoon.
He
was
so
anxious
to
see
his
home
that
he
did
not
stop
to
visit
his
daughter,
Mrs.
W.
Simon-sen,
Graham
Avenue.
However.
Mrs.
Slmonsen
expects
him
to
drop
in
and
visit
her
today.
Mr.
Olsen's
decision
to
fly
at
the
age
of
74
reflects
his
attitude
toward
life
which
still
keeps
him
working
despite
his
years.
A
fisherman,
he
still
operates
his
own
trolling
boat,
and
also
fishes
