To men $o earn little this may be a consideration, buftltypfon vh6i,time is worth a great deal more than thantaiies of. meetings and committees mean a considerable satirif ice. We are not suggesting to Prince Rupert people who they shall vote for at this time. It is well that all sections of the community be represented on the council. All we suggest is that if the offers of successful men are not accepted, the loss will be to the city and not to those who are so offering their services. The coming year is likely to be an important one in our history. We see greater possibilities ahead than have been in the offing for some time past What we need is men who are able to cope with the situation and make the most of it for the city. With a good mayor and strong council the possibilities are great ' ; ; Rupert during the next year or two. The outlook is very ymsing. In the past we have often expected Great thinars. but ave leen generally disappointed. Today we see the de velopment along more rational lines than ever before. Our natural resources are the attraction. When Sir Henry Thornton first visited Prince Rupert he said the most important thing for this city would be the development of the latent resources of the country. Today we are seeing this coming about. British money is vieing with American money in trying to help us and Canadians are for the first time in history doing their part. Under these conditions we have reason to be optimistic.

Man., Jan. 10. (By Canadian Press) Demand for tbe recognition of "a Canadian race" and for legislation to permit personal naturalisation of mar-ied women stood out most prominently in the report of legislation read today by Mrs IuauttfjiBsti ir .fm.)aw - at me gmmt c VaSrt JNftnert of Dep1inthVfsct 'Canadfan" .is not Fr-eoV mn ,ng. dm census forms undef the iiesVUng "racial or tribal origin," Mrs. Downing's report contended! that the "time has come when a Cana dian ractfmust be recognised." Thousands of native born Cana dians are reco'ded whose fore-. 'fathers have lived in the Dominion !for man generations and their designation asof any other racial j origin than Cajiaoa W'inaecurats, the report coijtendjrf; adding, "it has a d?i MeujTi de4tmclf ve ef fect" to tell new GjjsadUns, ing Canadian language, customs and institutions that they cannot j in time become part of the Cana dian race." The drawing of racial lines through ithe paternal side of the 'family was characterized as "man ifestly incorrect and unscientific," by the report, which went on to question the value of statistics which would speak of King George as of German racial origin because his grandfather wan Prince Albert of Coburg, Saxe-Cotha.

Presentation of an inequality aB between men and women came with discussion In thi report of the matter of legal dotnic'le of married women. The finding of tw( Icg's'aMon committee pointed deprecatlngly at the law whkh gri ntfl .toittinnd jrhurev--Nl mav be. the right of legal domicile, whereas an estnyiged wife must brng legal action in the pliue where her husband resides. The committee expressed the hope that an amendment would be enacted during the coming government session to grant to either husband or wire a one-third interest in all their real estate following the presentation of a resolution in December. .A Thursday, January 10, 1929 Wlfoesa you are tls?ed I is wonderSully stimulating Jd I AND GIVES YOU FRESH ENERGY . 0 he world . lROM the cold, (Jeep waters of the seven thousand miles of British v-- Columbia's Pacific Coast, comes a harvest of fish that the palate of all mankind enjoys!
