The grain farmers are prosperous today, probably as prosperous or more prosperous than they ever were in history. Yet now as always in the past they operate on the raw edge of natural haz- , ards that would give stomach j ulcers to the city business man or workman. How far will the thermometer go down tonight just to two ; points above freezing, or a few points below? Nobody knows, for ; sure. But If it goes a few points , too low it means ruination for some. So all along the line. The city man nghtiy says the farmer is philosophic for he has to take nature as is. The religious experts ' say, rightly, that the farmer is always more conscious of God, or the divine power, than is the city man. Of course he is, because his life and work pel him not only to remain ever aware of man's dependence on The zest for more blood broods ; over the earth.

PRINCE RUPERT is probably the only city in .British Columbia which has no ratepayers' association at least, it hasn't an active one, and that's jufct as bad. This situation indicates that either there is "no need for any interest in our civic administration or that there just isn't any interest A An active ratepayers' association keeps elected tity council on its toes, for one thing; w Shows that home-owners and businessmen have a live interest in their community; "Is a means for citizens to strive for merit of the community; Can be a valuable source of future candidates for civic government; . And it represents a democratic power of majority opinion to which higher bodies must lend an ear. Without such an association, individuals or small representative organizations must carry the load of responsibility. And often such an individual 'or organization hasn't got the backing or support from the majority in the community and so loses the power of persuasion. For instance, there is our housing shortage, ;abotit which much ado has been made in the past. 'Ttrhat avail? Perhaps something could be done, stYould every citizen who pays taxes and realizes tli need get up in arms and demand an answer. "-We have many more problems before us to ;which an answer could be obtained by the demand "of ,tje clamor of many voices. 'Democracy is representation of majority, but 'how can we have democracy if there is no representation? We wouldn't stand for a one-party government on a hierher level, so we should be as jealous ;of democratic principles and functions in our city. Unnecessary Proposal !H HE SOVIET proposal for a five-power peace !H pact between the United States, the United t' Kingdom, the Soviet Union, France and China is of j: coarse not new. It Mas first put forward by Vyshin-iJskJT last September in the United Nations Assembly. -There it met with very little favor and was rejected ' by a large majority in the political committee, i, Indeed, it is a proposal which has little or nothing to commend it. "Peace pact" is a vague phrase, 5 and nothing has been said to explain exactly what jit means. But it is very hard to imagine what the five could pledge themselves to in any "peace pact'' that they have not already pledged themselves to in j jithe charter of the United Nations. And what good j; would it do to suggest that the obligations of the joharter need reaffirming? If they are valueless, of ?vhat value would a reaffirmation be? If they are ' binding awl accepted why bother to repeat them? ; ' , President" Shvernik in his letter to President (Truman suggests that the five powers should "unite J, their efforts for the purpose of supporting international peace and security." But what else are they supposed to be doing in the Security Council? For what other purpose were they made permanent members of the Council? i -'The whole proposal seems, in fact, to be completely superfluous. Anything it would conceivably ! achieve can be and should be done in arid through -'the machinery of UNO. If for whatever reason the five cannot co-operate in UNO, why imagine fthqt they could do any more or any better outside? Now that William Randolph Hearst is dead, a revival of yarns concerning his colorful career, ; but perhaps not all according lo Hoyle, can be expected. This one may be told again. Difficulties between the United States and Spain were brewing. Hearst's men had been in Cuba and elsewhere in the West India islands for weeks. One, having his doubts about something, filed an inquiry. The big boss replied: j "You send the news. We'll send ; the war." Meanwhile, the situation at Iran, reported more favorable two weeks ago. was not so good i a week back. Today it can best 1 be described as a sameness. So, jail in all, it's just as well to ! preserve a discreet silence. i (COWOMV 14 OI ttiUlilt tUL till AAnnEw m i niti j When Premier St. Laurent I was in Saskatchewan a few Pnnstrni'tinn nf the Kerhalrr, 1 1 Ivi rf I n TEETHING TROUBLES "'"4 j weeks ago, he is reported to have ! remarked it would be more accurate to describe the outbreak ! of 1885 as an "uprising" rather i ' dam, which is part of the im-i mense Alcan undertaking, is not S without some difference of j opinion among trappers, settlers and guides ManV are Drenarerl Id a wise Investmn' terms of fumliy hn'.t home economj. -., 4.
