Because Prince Rupert has achieved its quota of $485,000 in the Second Victory Loan and is within a few-thousand dollars of its objective of $600,000 is no reason why those who have not already bought and those who have not bought to the fullest possible capacity should now sit back and fail to make or increase their purchases. The fact that some parts of the country are lagging and are not doing their share is all the more reason why Prince Rupert's achievement should be outstanding. Prince Rupert's record has been splendid so far. Let us make it something notable. Incidentally, Prince Rupert's Victory Loan accomplishment is not something with which we should feel too smugly satisfied. We have been able to do well because the war so happens to have brought the community generally a greater measure of prosperity than it has ever had before. It is but fitting that those who have benefitted should put some of the benefit back into those very fine securities which are as good as cash and a fine form of insurance for future security. Too Complacent . . . Seeinc the comnlacenrv with wVnWi Rfiot, ri.,. - -L- -J ...... miuou ViUlUlII- bia people are viewing the present situation, Lieut. Gov-ernorw. C. Woodward has issued a warning that sooner or later the province is pretty sure to be attacked and, at anyrate, we must be prepared for anvthing. This is especially true where there are big works going on such as we have in Prince Rupert. The lieutenant governor said it was quite possible we might lose the war unless we prepared to meet the enemy. What has happened elsewhere might easily happen here. Bikes for Boys . . .

"So far'the number allowed to be purchased by local dealers has been limited but we. suggest those wishing bicycles this summer take some steps to secure them. With fewer cars on the road bicycles will be in demand to a greater extent than ever as horses will be more difficult to secure. Oil Policy... The British Columbia government under Premier Hart is continuing drilling for oil in the Peace River country but has made it possible to leave oil land there if they think it desirable. The policy of drilling was that of former Premier Pattullo and was supported by the C.C.F. members but criticized by Attorney General Maitland when in opposition. There are over ninety thousand medically defective children m the public schools of this province, according to Dr G. F. Amyot, the provincial health officer, in hi? report to his minister. Many of the defects are dental but there are not enough dentists to deal with all cases S?f !?? I eatment' he'mS costly, many patients find it difficult to have proper attention gfaen their children.
