But the spirit which leads to their formation leaves something to be desired. It smacks a little of totalitarianism in whieh the company seeks to control net only the working lives of its employees, but their private lives as well, There is, of course, many an oceasion in which an industry, obliged to set itself up in a isolated area, has no alternative but In this respect Columbia Cellulose is strictly not guilty. On the contrary, it has made every effort to merge itself with Prince Rupert. Its em- ployees have blended into the city’s populace to a point where there is no distinction between the two, and their children go to the city’s schools, for which the company pays a high percentage of the taxes.

It is also a little disturbing that the restless subject of hospital insurance is apparently due for some more tossing around, Pleased as we will be to see Mr. Martin, who is a stranger to most of us, we would be even more pleased if he would inject something firm and permanent into hospital insurance without further delay.
