Feb. 13, 1931 ATTITUDE OF SCHOOLBOYS 1 Japan and Russia are like two schoolboys, each daring the other to hit first. Unfortunately the result will be very different from a schoolboy fight if the twa countries resort tq hostilities in order to settle their differences. We- remember the time when Germans drank toasts to the day when they could get an opportunity to fight Britain. They were quite confident they could lick the world, but they failed. A good many people would not worry if Russia and Japan should decide to start a war of their own but the dififculty is that these wars have a habit of spreading. We hope these two countries will fall in line with the trend of the times and deckle to settle their differences amicably. There is no need for either to knock the chip off the other's shoulder. s SEASON OF LENT Catholics and Anglicans tomorrow enter upqn the season of Lent which lasts for forty days, corresponding with the forty days in which the Christ retired from the world for fasting and introspection. Many people during that period retire from the active festivities of life and deny themselves some of those things which they enjoy. It is to them a period of spiritual training. Todav is Shrove Tuesday, celebrated in England as "Pancake Day." Tomorrow is "Ash Wednesday," the first day of the period of penitence. At the close of the period is Holy Week including Good Friday, the crucifixion day, followed by Easter Sunday. To some people these periods mean nothing, but to others m the community they are outstanding annual events and mean much more than any other current events. . MUST BUY SOON A great many people have been doing without new clothes for several years. The depression hit hard and hundreds had not the price to pay. Doing without was a necessity. Others feared for the future and kept then money in their pockets. Now we have all come to a point where we must buy. Clothes are necessary and must be purchased. Homes are getting shabby and must be painted. Money must be expended on many things and the tendency is to buy to the extent that finances will allow. The buy ers strike is over.

H Lost Their Bout on Wales. Island ; After ISi-ing Caught in Storm B Charles Crowe Starts " ' Again To. spend one night of their Wales Island, wet to: the skin and m without fire, was anything but B p!taant lor Mr. and Mrs. Charles E. Crowe of Vancouver who were wrecked from their gasboat La Bo- heme In Portland Canar. drifted off the Naas River for twelve hours and then had their launch ground to B pieces on the rocks by the hupe B breakers which swept over her and - put her engine out of business. It all happened while on their 5 way from Stewart about a month ago. They had visited Anyox. Stewart and Premier on behalf of the : Fuller Brush Company and were on ; their way to Prince Rupert. As they came to the mouth of the Naas, everything looked favorable. The sea was calm and they got half way across without Incident . Then a sudden squall struck them, buf fetted their boat and drove them southward and at one time they feared they would be forced out Into the open strait. After twelve hours of constant effort, during which they tried sailing and towing with their dinghy. They made the shore of Wales Island and every effort was made to get into a cove and anchor there. The elements were too powerful The La Boheme struck a rock which drove a hole Into her hull and it was as much as the oc-.cupants of the boat could do to I scramble ashore with blankets and .food before the launch broke up. They took matches but these, were wet and it was impossible to make a fire. That night was a terrible one. The young couple, wet to the skin, huddled In their blankets and prayed for morning to come. Hap-olly when It did come it brought succor, for a party of Indian trap-oers headed by the aged Matthew Johnson of Port Simpson came along In their boat. They were at once taken to the Indian camp, two miles distant, and before a blazing tire dried out their clothes and stayed with the natives until the veather allowed their return to Prince Rupert. Mr. Crowe Is well known In Prince Rupert where he canvassed for the Fuller Brush Company a little over a year ago. He-lost all his stock and his records In the wreck but "he plans to start over again here and wjll spend several weeks la the city before going south. Mrs. Crowe was married last summer Just before setting out on the trip! She was for merly Miss Alexandra Zilnlc of Powell River. In spite of the hard ships and narrow escape In Port land Canal, she Is game to start over again when conditions are pro pitious.
