Just a month and twenty-three days to Christmas!!" It was refreshing to hear one of our newsboys in joyful anticipation proclaim that as he waited for his papers yesterday afternoon. It was a happy indication that for the very young at least one good old idea retains its appeal in these days of care and materialism when a lot of us are worrying honestly about the war and legitimate undertakings while others of us are engaged more than ever in the pursuit of seeing how best we can do for ourselves out of the world s travail. Is it good for us to reflect that in our land the children can still think joyfully of Christmas the season of goodwill. They can plan, even in a restricted measure, the l pleasures of giving and anticipate in their innocent way , the joy of receiving. They have not as yet at least been subjected to the physical horrors and the mental hope-' lessness of war under which even Christmas seems to mean nothing. Yes, it is good that our children at least can still look forward to the wholesome and pleasant joys of the Christmas season. We can only hope that we shall continue blessed as we are in being a country where the good Christmas season can still prevail in the manner to which we and our children have become accustomed, a manner than which we know no other. Fortunate should we consider ourselves that there is still a place for Santa Claus here. The Bank of Montreal todav celebrates the 125th anniversary of its founding. We may have no particular e, a measure of credit for the service they afford their customers individually, because in general and the country by and large in helping to maintain confidence and an even financial keel. Had it not been for the service rendered by the banks, the stability they have maintained through times of prosperity and through times of almost fiscal despair we can imagine the people of this Dominion might have suffered a good deal of inconvenience if not actual hardship. Here is Prince Rupert the standard of the Canadian banking system has been and is being maintained in a creditable and pleasant manner. In this spirit, we feel it is not out of place for us to extend congratulations today to the Bank of Montreal on its 125th anniversary. Housing Rentals . . . Complaints persist of rentals here for wartime bousing accommodation being inequitable with those pre- !1? f TT n 1 il il s vauing in Vancouver, evidently mere is a considerable measure of justification to those complaints. The only defence appears to be that it costs more to build wartime houses here than it does in Vancouver. Possibly it does. Possibly it doesn't very much. That question, how-; ever, is beside the point It should not be the determining factor. If the wages for the renters are no higher here than in Vancouver, it does not seem reasonable that the rentals charged the workers should be higher. When it is so difficult as it is to get labor to come here for essential war industries, which claim they are hampered by a severe shortage of men, it does not seem fitting that a government organization, supposedly interested in getting the fullest measure of production, should in this manner hamper its own effort. This is apart from the justifiable complaint that it is not fair anvway. A. MacKenzie Furniture Ltd. A GOOD PLACE TO BUY 50 STRONG STURDY CARD TABLES, assorted models and colors.

However, we do feel ! division of the ine. that this and the other banks of Canada are entitled to I peaWng on the matwr. Mr. Gilbert revealed that CPAL had been approached legardlng a service to Prince Rupert, to meet the heavy demands on transporta tion to that city. Fog. and lack of proper equipment precluded the possibility of any urh service on the coast at this time. However, Mr Gilbert made a trip to Prince George and through to Terrace to explore the posit bility of such a plane service being established out of Prince George and linking Prince Rupert. He spent Dearly two weeks on this trip and was highly impressec by the work being carried out in that section of the country and the manner In which it might lend itself to such a plane service. Mr. Gilbert has made a report to CPAL offices on the situation and that is as far as it has gone. NAZI-HUNS TRICKS The homes of three of RumU'i greatest artist. Tolstoy.
