We are doing wen in uie vai these days and we are justified in assuming new confidence that, if there is no flagging of our effort, tota victory will surely be ours. We need not longer feel ei.ontif.ai nr iinuhrfnl ahout our chances. It is evi dently no longer a question of how we shall win but when. We can say, in answer to that, that the measure of required time for viccory may be largely determined by the intensity of our sustained effort. Even though the tide may be running better for us, it is no time to rest on our oars. Width of Skeena Road... It is an interesting suggestion by Mr. Anscomb, the provincial minister of public works, that it would be better to be building our Skeena River highway to a width of thirtv instead of twenty feet. Mr. Anscomb is looking fonvard to the day when it will not be merelv a military road but a great artery for tourist traffic which it will no doubt be after the war is over. However, even the twenty feet road will be very good to have and it is satisfactory to have Mr. Anscomb say that an excellent job is being done. Leadership and Action . . . TVio Ual fTAvoiumwit imHpr authority of the X ait itUv a c v. w - l War Measures Act, has increased the old-age pen-f sion from $20 to $25 monthly applicable where the provinces will pay their usual portion of 25 per cent. British Columbia" already pays the whole of a S5 monthly increase. This belated action at Ottawa brings and deserves' no thanks from the people. It is too little and too late for any appreciation. Only trifling publicity has' been given to what otherwise would have been important news had it been granted a year ago or had it been introduced even this session as an amendment to the Old Age Pensions Act and not as a war measure by order-in-council. The government at Ottawa appears so weighted down with the burdens of the war, a job it is doing creditably well, it seems out of touch with the yearnings of the people for bold action on domestic measures of social reform and for post-war reconstruction.

Today the Allies have teamed up their ovh land-based planes and their straieht-shooting iships to drive the Japs out of the middle Solomons nand the prospect is that soon the Japs will have left the Solomons completely.

LIVING ALONE ON THE RA TION There have been suggestions that ration coupons, especially those for meat, be per forated so that rationed com modities could be purchased In smaller quanUttes by those who have smaK families or live alone. Prices Board officials Have a word of explanation, pointing out that as it stands, the public, the banks and the ration administration share the burden of responsibility. If coupons were perforated, it would com plicate the process of coupon flow-back. They also remind us that certain rationed meats may be bought at the rate of one- half pound per coupon, which should simplify the problem for those who dont want to buy too much at one time. i ind 3-4 cud of water in a sauce-, I . j 1 pan.
