From the be- ginning there was a hope on all sides that Eisen- hower would win his place in the White House. This was dulled to some extent by the calibre of his op- ponent and by the perversities of the campaign, but the original factors which created that hope re- mained unchanged. will In the sternest of tests Eisenhower had already proved that he has what it takes. As a famous soldier and international figure who has successfully over- come fearsome trials, he may now be regarded as one whom history will possibly remember as a great president. Service Around the Clock ECAUSE they represent answers to long-stand- ing demands by a broad section of the B.C. public, there are two points in local briefs submitted to the liquor inquiry commission which merit par- ticularly careful consideration. One is the Chamber of Commerce recommenda- tion that liquor stores operate 24 hours a day with the exception of Sundays and statutory holidays. The other is J. D, MeRae’s proposal that spiritous | liquors be made available to the publie in licenced premises at a controlled and moderate price in the same manner as beer. Primarily the commission was formed to advise the provincial government on the most feasible method of dispensing liquor by the glass in accord- with the public wish expressed by plebiscite June. By strict definition, therefore, the ques- tion of 24-hour liquor stores is beyond its authority. ance } i« tT ids Nevertheless, since the whole liquor law is to undergo revision, it is an appropriate time for the B.C. government to give the matter some close study. There are many in the province whose work- ing hours, or whose location of «work, make it im- possible to visit a liquor store during the limited daylight hours. To suggest this be unaltered because it encourages sobriety is not only nonsense but is complacent acceptance of an unfair‘imposition on a large public group. If liquor cannot be purchased in the authorized manner, it leads to the same uncontrollable and illicit trade that featured the prohibition era in the U.S.A. The point is that, no matter what the estab- | lished hours of sale may be, liquor ¢an still be bought around the clock. There are enough enterprisers in any community to see to that, In effect, therefore, the province is making room for a middleman whom it outlaws on the one hand and indirectly finances on the other. The solu- tion lies in taking a realistic view free of misguided scruples and increasing the time limit for the per- missible sale of liquor. In recommending that licenced premises dis- | pense liquor at a controlled and moderate priee, Mr. McRae comes close to, and perhaps precisely at, what | the public undoubtedly had in mind in its plebiscite vote. If the prospect had been high-priced cocktail bars which put liquor by the glass out of the reach of most, it is unlikely the vote would have been so decisive. The people spoke clearly and there should be no attempt to evade their wishes with prohibitive measures, mall aid the Post OMer Department, Orava As | See It a by There’s A Difference THE important thing for)* Canadians to keep in mind, as their cousins is that U.S. is NOT American the like yote, system ours, The under a USA. does not operate neat-and-tidy system ol democratic, responsible govern ment, such as there is in Britain and Canada.

Capt. W. R. Webster, for 17 years the Legislative sergeant~- at-arms has been fired, dis- missed in a curt note from Pro- vineial Secretary Wesley Black. The Social Credit government is no doubt getting ready to give the job, a sort of political plum, to some Social Crediter who worked hard for Social Credit in the June election, and will work hard in the next election for Social Credit. There'll probably be other cases of this kind, and, at the game time, cabinet ministers will be running around the country saying they've abolished all political patronage. they are not live | THE ETTERBOX ANSWERS ANOTHER Editor The Daily News I would very much appreciate the chance ‘to answer your cor respondent “Fisherman's Wife” and raise a few points First, let us examine thre ques- tion of who is responsible for the strike among salmon net fishermen The companies claim that they have a vast stock lef{i over from last year, What king of a posi tion would the fishermen and their Wives be im next year with ‘a full catch this fall? 1 would be prepared to bet the offer year would be three cents As We all Know, the cost living has risen and the price of gear, equipment and repairs that fishermen pay is far higher aceurding to the companies’ own figures The majority would have not have Made a img @ 5% cents.
