Speedy Air Mail Service THE INSTITUTION of air mail service WITH between Prjnce Rupert and Vancouver this week, it is satisfactory to-be assured by the Post Office that there will be a prompt and speedy :dispatch and delivery of the mails in connection therewith. Mail will close about an hour before the plane leaves each week-day at noon and will be sorted into the boxes immediately following it ' arrival In late afternoon. . Meantime, it is to be hoped that postal authorities may see fit to take the necessary steps to bring about an early resumption of the good general " postal delivery service to which we were so used arid which, evidently through a recent cutting of staff, has become somewhat impaired. Representations with this end in view have already been made. -.-.. i npvp la.rm mronrinn wnniniro n no iff nriricn of the overworked and courteous postal staff. As -a .matter of fact, the present situation is as unfair .'11 .11 ifA i I 11 aoine postal stall as it is to trie public. The postal service, which is a profitable busi ness, should be kent in tune with expandinc busi ness needs. The very fact that it is monopolistic -implies for !it an even greater responsibility to the public than private enterprise which" must either automatically expand or go out. of business. TOO MANY PARTIES OBSERVERS at Ottawa are carefully POLITICAL noting the reason for the confusion and unrest in so many countries of the Old World too many political parties. Japan has just passed through a government crisis where attempts to form a four-party .government have failed. In Italy two former Premiers were unable to form a government and a third is now trying. France, .whose greatest tragedy was caused by the existence ,of many weak parties making effective government .impossible, is still having trouble; I The-reasons we hold elections is to form govern-, ments. The greatest measure of prosperity and happiness has come to those nations which have "free parliaments with only two major political parties. ALEC MUNRO PRINCE RUPERT says good-bye; today to the dean of local steamboat men, Alec Munro, chief engineer of the steamer Prince Rupert, who lias plied these waters for thirty-seven years or more and who is making his farewell triptoday. Jit the conclusion of this voyage, he goes ashore from his ship to go into retirement after many years of efficient and 'faithful service. It is safe to say that there is no better known and no more highly esteemed steamship officer than Mr. Munro. In his retirement we are regretfully reminded that the years are passing and that we are all growing older. It recalls to recollection many pleasant voyages we have made with the old school of .coastal steamboaters, most of whom have now . passed 'into retirement and not a few of whom have embarked on the long voyage which follows life. Not only we but numerous other old friends will wish Mr. Munnk many more happy years in which to enjoy his retirement. When, we travel again on his ship, we shall miss his cheery personality and shall recall with pleasant. remembrance the many voyages we made with him through the years since we first met him as a young junior engineer.. FLYING SAUCKRS?-In an effort to determine from eye-witnesses who actually" saw the "flying saucers," Victor Hoefllch, who supervises, construction of ;the balloon kites for the U.S. army signal corps. and the, weather bureau, launched them from the heights of Palisades amusement park, N.J. Hoefllch, left and his wife, right, may be seen holding the bottom of the balloon kite as crowds look up at the launching in Palisades park pool. The scientific experiment was conducted to get the facts from eye-witnesses who saw the "flying saucers" so as to determine in their opinion as to whether those launched are similar to the ones seen floating in the skies over New Jersey recently, W -" ii i ' f nmm.iiw.nwmi i ii ,i ii .. m i i ; SUMMER WONDERLAND Unusual photographic masterpiece catches Rex Little, left, Jack Walkowiak, both of Chicago, In a summer wonderland at the north lagoon In Lincoln Park, Chicago.
