It looks to Us as if we are over the brow of the hill and from this time on there will be easier going. While life is always a struggle and the history of a city corresponds. very much with the history of a human life, there should be much greater progress made in 1930 than in 1929. We do not object to the effort if we can only show results. In a new country we are not satisfied with simply holding our own. We want to make progress. If we do hot show that, then we are relatively dropping back. We never believe in looking backward except to learn lessons for the future. Last year we did not make the bonds at a reasonable price well nigh impossible. Some little civic work was held up and this has helped to make things quiet in the city. In spitelaf that a number of mer-qhante claim they have had a better year than last and especially a better Christmas trade. wish to sell our telephone system, at any rate, not at present, it will be lor the new city council and the new officers of the Board of Trade to decide what policy shall be adopted to put a little life into the dry bones.

BUT WITH THOUSANDS OF IDLE MEN THROUGHOUT CANADA, THAT OUTLET SHOULD BE 8TARTED NOW. The energy displays on Christ mas cheer drives, if applied in like manner to a money-earning project like Peace River Outlet, is all that is necessary to assure success. The results In prphts to Vancouver would so&n eliminate the necessity for charity. Vancouver's "On to the Peace" association is non-political; it Is organized with the single objective of securing a coast outlet for Peace River. Every firm and every individual who wants that coast outlet built in 1930 should put his money and his support behind that group of Vancouver Pfpwe who, like Winnipeg's "On to tna Bay" assoclaUon, are deter-mlned that there shall be no more delays on a coast outlet between Peace River and Vancouver. Chtlstmas is over. Now for the Peace River. Mrs. I. M.
