POLITICAL
INTEREST
IN
THE
COURSE
of
the
next
year
or
so
federal
I
and
provincial
elections
will
be
coming
around
again.
Certain
political
interests,
stinging
from
the
reverses
in
the
last
elections,
were
full
of
high
resolve
for
a
time
that
they
would
right
soon
even
.
at
that
early
date,
be
mending
their
fences
and
get-
ting
actively
and
steadily
in
readiness
for
the
next
campaigns.
Possibly
there
has
not
been
as
much
activity
along
that
line
as
there
might
have
been.
It
is
not
necessarily
because
we
might
sympathize
with
any
political
beliefs
or
the
cause
of
candidates
,
who
may
espouse
them
that
we
express
the
opinion
that
it
seems
desirable
there
should
be
more
activity
in
preparation
for
forthcoming
election
campaigns.
Rather
it
is
because
there
would
be
thereby
developed
an
active
interest
and
healthy
discussion
of
pub-..
lie-matters
that
these
remarks
are
made.
T
"
These
are
important
davs
in
-world
affairs.
Can
ada
ie
playing
an'
important
part
in
such
affairs,
gkeena
and
Prince
Rupert
are
becoming
increas-jogiyj)rominent
in
the
Canadian
scene.
Our
voice
should
be
heard
and
our
interest
"should
be
shown.
One
sure
way
of
bringing
that
about
is
by
a
general,'
healthy
and
truly
representative
attention
to
public
and
national
affairs
through
the
medium
of
interest
and
discussion
of
political
questions.
Probably
all
that
is
needed
is
a
little
active
and
well-planned
leadership.
Now
that
the
long
winter
nights
are
coming
and
the
diversion
of
outside
interests
is
waning
might
be
a
good
time
to
get
started.
54-40
AND
FRIENDSHIP
OF
NORTHERN
British
Columbia
RESIDENTS
and
Southeastern
Alaska
have
set
ah
excellent
and
encouraging
example
in
international
friendship
in
their
action
toward
close
co-operation
among
the
Boards
of
Trade
of
the
two
areas.
Delegates
from
many
communities
in
both
areas,
meeting
at
the
annual
convention
of
the
Associated
Boards,
of
Trade
of
Central
B.
C.
in
Prince
Rupert
decided
virtually
ta
eliminate
the
international
boundary
insofar
as
board
of
trade
matters
are
concerned.
They
decided
to
act
jointly
on
eeon-omicmatters,
planned.to
hold
their
1948
convention
in
Juneau,
and
named
an
Alaskan
as
second
vice-president.
As
Governor
Ernest
Gruening
told
the
convention,
it
was
an
important
venture
in
international
relations.
"We
are
both
on
the
outside
rim
of
econqmic
activity
on
this
continent,"
Gruening
said,
"and
we
must
act
together
to
improve
our
position."
One
of
the
concerns
of
both
areas
is
the
building
up
of
an
alternative
channel
for
trade
to
Alaska
by
way
ot
Prince
Rupert.
From
the
Alaskan
viewpoint,
this
would
reduce
the
territory's
deoendence

LESSON
IN
CITIZENSHIP
ON
THE
TRAIN
we
were
taught,
a
lesson
in
humility.
A

"
wvaws
u4ivtUi
came
into
the
coach
as
the
train
neaved
the
international
border.
A
sheaf
of
papers
was
held
under
his
arm.
He
addressed
us.
"Nationality?"
'
he
inquired.
"American
"
we.
replied.
He.
smiled
gently.
"U.S."
he
corrected
us.
After
he
had
left
our
coach,
I
thought
about
the
incident.
We-
in
the
United
States
have
arrogated
unto
ourselves,
the
proud
title
of
"American."
We
;
think
it
belongs
to
us
exclusively.
Yet
what
are
Canadians,
and
Mexicans
and
Cubans
and
Guate-malans,
if
not
"Americans!'
?
Our
unilateral
appropriating
of
the
designation
-
"Americans"
is.
as
if
one
country
in
the
Old
World
suddenly
began
calling
its.
citizens
"Europeans"
as
distinctive
from
their
continental
neighbors.
Why
should
we
alone
be
"Americans"?
Are
not
Canadians'
"Americans"
too?
Thev
inhabit
the
North
-
American
continent
along
with
us.
Indeed,
they
inhabit
more
of
it.
Canada
is
considerably
larger
in
area
than
the
United
States.
Yet
we
call
ourselves
"Americans"
and
our
neighbors
"
"Canadians
"U.S.
"
the
immigration
official
corrected
us.
lie
considered
himself
an
"American"
too.
On
what
basis
of
logic
is
he
not
correct?

A
statement
about
HOUSEHOLD
HEATING
OILS
The
demand
for
petroleum
products
throughout
the
world
is
today
much
greater
than
at
any
time
in
history.
In
Canada,
for
instance,
consumption
of
heating
oils
has
doubled
since
1945,
the
year
of
peak
war
requirements.
To
help
meet
this
unprecedented
Canadian
demand
Imperial
Oil
has
provided
an
unprecedented
supply.
However,
the
demand
for
heating
oils
used
in
range
burners,
space
heaters,
water
heaters
and
household
furnaces
continues
to
increase
at
a
rapid
rate,
while
our
most
strenuous
efforts
to
expand
refining
and
storage
capacity
and
other
facilities
are
being
hampered
by
lack
of
construction
materials.
.
This
means
that
the
margin
between
the
supply
of
and
the
demand
for
heating
oils
is
very
narrow
and
may
approach
a
critical
point
this
winter
if
people
continue
to
purchase
oil.
burning
units
without
first
assuring
themselves
of
an
adequate
supply.
As
a
protection
to
the
public
we
would
advise
that:
Before
purchase
of
a
range
burner,
space
heater
or
any
household
oil-burning
equipment,
make
certain
you
are
assured
of
a
continuing
supply
of
fuel.
Early
this
year,
in
order
to
protect
our
existing
customers
we
notified
our
entire
sales
organization,
including
dealers
and
agents,
that
we
could
not
take
on
any
new
heating
oil
customers.
Imperial
Oil's
replacement
and
construction
program,
delayed
when
materials
and
labor
were
needed
for
war
production,
is
being
pressed
as
rapidly
as
possible.
When
completed
it
will
restore
our
traditional
margin
of
supply
over
demand
so
that
all
requirements
will
be
met.
In
the
meantime
every
effort
is
being
made
to
increase
available
supplies.
Any
commitments
we
have
made
to
supply
household
heating
ils
have
been
carefully
considered
and
we
can
assure
our
customers
that,
barring
unforseen
circumstances
these
com
mitments
will
all
be
met.
