The Veterans' Appeal APPEAL is being launched by the Canadian AN Legion throughout Canada for increase in the pensions and allowances to veterans of the conflicts in which the Dominion has played so outstanding -a part. That these veterans contributed in the main to winning the war, both wars in fact, and that without the service of those who gave their all to the survival of the British Commonwealth of Nations, 6f which Canada is a component part, is undisputed. Every consideration, therefore, should be given by the federal government and by the ministers of the Crown, to( the iljjjmreht needs for which the Canadian Legion appeals at this time. No one can (juestion the fact that the cost bf living has risen highly since the elitl of hostilities and so qbntinues to incieUse. Increase of wages in jtlany industries has been taken care of to a large extent, sbhie being the outcome of strikes which forced employers to submit to the pleas of the workers.' The veterrths, however, both those who receive pensions for wounds and those who, on account of their inability to become rehabilitated on account of age, sickness and other causes, are still at the stationary stie at which they found themselves in 1045. It would seem reasonable, therefore, that all members of parliament, irrespective of their party affiliations, should make this appeal their greatest concern, and consider thoughtfully as to whether this Request is one deserving of their support. AT cdst-of-living bonus to these men and women, who fought for the cause of democracy, would, it seems, meet the demand at this time, and the House of Commons should, at least give ear to the Legions' appeal. One think ceHaiii, is, however, that no body of Canadians deserves greater consideration than those who spent several years in the armed forces, many giving the best years of their lives to a cause which savefl Canada, and the world for that matter, from dictatorship. MANDATORY RADAR WERE INTERESTED to learn how the WE skipper of 'the ill-fated Clarksdale Victory, which crashed and sank on Hippa Island recently, knew where he was when he sent out his SOS call-but did not know where he was 10 seconds before his vessel went onto the rocks. The second mate, Henry H. Wolfe, explained at Ketchikan. Wolfe was the navigator on the ship. He took-his bearings before the crash and got his latitude (distance north of the equator) correct. He was a bit uncertain about his longitude least or west of Greenwich meridan) but, not seeing any coastal lights, presumed he was safely offshore. There are no radio compass stations in the vicinity and the course of the ship was set to take her straight down the codst. Where the pilot erred was in not taking full note of the low-hanging clouds that were encountered as the coast drew near, together with the rain squalls. These are accepted by older pilots as such signs ot land. Also, several waves hit the ship from its port side, which means only one thing, that the boat was so near the shore that the backwash of the high seas was breaking into the vessel. When the ship hit a rock, the skipper knew he was on shore. So he took his chart, followed his latitude circle into shore and knew where his ship had struck. The fact that he gave his position as Graham Island instead of Hippa Island was natural because Graham is a large island and Hippa a small one. Cohverstdy, if he had had radar instruments aboard, .heould, likewise have reckoned his proper position by lsarning how close he was to land. The continuing loss of life in the air and on the sea mean to lis only one conclusion that radar must be. made mandatory. What good is it to discover such an instrument of safety and then not use it to save lives and goods? : -' ! Ketchikan Chronicle.

Tempera ture in the city dropped to a record low of 13 degres above zero, while at Terrace it was, 10 below and at Hazelton 22 below. Alderman Collart confirmed the rumors that he would run forMayor In the 1W3 elections. Principal plank In his platform was civic financial retrenchment with a view towards lowering the tax rate as far as possible. Membership at the public library continued to Increase steadily, alcording to tthe Li-rariart. Miss Minnie Grant.

No. other name given to our Saviour in the Hible is more puzzling but lull of most blessed significance. A word is the visible or outward expression of. the soul's Inner thought or emotion. The poet Wordsworth says "language Is the incarnation ol thought.' and the word was made been nroven bevont! the shadow tlesh and dwelt among us" John 0r a doubt. But convincing as 1:14. Jesus Christ on earth an this Is, It does no; compare was the outward expression to my mind, with the great fact whlcti men could behold of the j that, Christ ha been born In my thought, the heart, and the love Riacj heart. This experience is of God. Hence it was said f the mightiest evidence that can Him that He was God manifest ever be adduced. in the flesh. A word differs from a story U told of Lepaux, .1 a souna Decause it is me cx-, presslon of Intelligence or ai-fectlon. A sound Is soulless but! a word is the voice of the inner , being, . This is a marvellouslly tender oi ennst "anq . aweu among us." In olden phrase "He pitched His tent among us," meaning, "to dwell, to make Himself known to us." So Jesus Christ, leaving all the glory He had with the 'Father before the world was, was born among us common folk when He might have been but he chase to be bom In Bethlehem, in the home of a humble toller. As we read in the book of Hebrews, "He took out on Him the nature o; angels but He took bh Him the seed of the sins of the people. For In that He himself hath suffered i being tempted." That is the most ( marvellous thing in all the world that He who had Infinite rlche3. for our sake became poor; had all power in heaven and on earth, yet he came down and was born as the child of a carpenter, became part and parcel of our humanity, just as the child in your home today.
