Cne is that the Canadian and another peopie nave great latent hidden, or undeveloped talents which should be brought to the .surface. Here is what I mean. Take n army battalion. Or take a church congregation. Or take some business concern, which employs a few hundred people. Now suppose they want to do something outside their regular line of work. Maybe they want to put on a show. Maybe they want to get out a magazine, or book. They need talent talent of a kind not ordinarily needed by their business or occupational organization. In nine exses out of ten, if they hunt long enough they can find, right inside their own group people who can compose poetry or music, or who can act, or draw funny or serious pictures, or who can do any one of a score of things, outride the regular run of their workaday jobs. I THOUGHT of that when I went to see a painting exhibition in Vancouver. I heard that a man named Mr. Elliot who had spent a lot of time in hospital had nevertheless :oll?cte? works of art numoering many hundreds; and I wondered how and if the authorities are not entirely impervious we should soon be getting some pretty definite action in the way of improving roads in British Columbia, particularly in the rapidly expanding industrial area of the central interior. Persuaded and encouraged by the government, big industry is coming into these parts. The government boasts about the revenue which is accruing to the province from these industries. If that is the case, is it not about time that the government was speeding up on the program of providing roads for those industries and the people which are flocking into this part of the country? We talk about the need of an agricultural background for our industry and of bringing in immigrants. One of the first things we need is roads and good roads not deferring their building until sheer exasperation and desperation, on the part of the people compels the government to take deferred and reluctant action which is often quite ineffectual. In a southern paper a few days ago appears a lengthly letter to the editor entitled "B.C.'s Road Force." It is highly critical but the criticism appears to us to be pretty much warranted.

As for Highway 16, the letter has the following to say : "The Aluminum Company of Canada invests $500,000,000 in B.C., and we counter this with a dirt road from Lac La Hache to Prince Rupert. The .greatest scenic circuit route in the world, through the Fraser Canyon to Prince George, across to Prince Rupert, and down the coast by boat, suffers from a dusty, dirty, bumpy, sweaty road." aiUr old age pensions witnout we have no quarrel with what ha i K mianr test in Canada it will not i j.a(j concerning the needs of the D.
