It is satisfactory news that, the loggers' strike on the Queen CharlottV Isfarids 'has- been settled. It was most untimely that such a dispute should have occurred in an important and vital war industry. Had everybody concerned been reasonable in dealing with the points at issue it would never have happened. The basis of settlement is sufficient evidence to prove that statement. These are serious days in the business of nrodtic-ing the instruments of war in some of which the spruce of the Queen Charlotte Islands, is an important constituent. Everything should be done to obviate tie-ups and certainly obstinacy or intolerance should not be permitted to lead to the interruption of orderly production. The Late William Brown ... Only a few weeks ago we were expressing reqret and sympathy over the news that Sergeant Pilot i William Brown was missing while on service over-! seas with the Royal Canadian Air Force. Now we do , same on the occasion of the passing of his father, the late Sergeant Major William M. Brown, also a gal-1 lant soldier and a good pioneer citizen, j The late "Bill" Brown will be deeply missed by many friends for he was widely acquainted and all who knew him regarded him highly. The place of Jionor and responsibility he had held in many organi-; zations public, social and fraternal with which j he was identified was sufficient token of the high j regard in which he ahd his abilities were held. Hs passing removes another from the ranks of Prince Rupert's real pioneers who are rapidly dropping out these days. The Daily News joins with the rest of the community in expressing sincere sympathy to the now doubly bereaved widow and daughter. How Long to Victory? . . . How long will it be till the bells and whistles burst j into a mad discord of victory: till the glad morniniri when you go to meet Tom at the station home from overseas to stay; till the family can go for a Sunday1 afternoon drive in'the country; tili you can have three cups of coffee and a big juicy steak whenever you wish; till all the strain and uncertainties cease to hang over our heads, and blessed peace settles in our hearts and our land? How long? That depends on all of us, and how we back up such things as Canada's Fifth Victory Loan. If we Canadians fail ttt "give1 our all-out support to the War effort, the war riiay be prolonged by months; thousands of lives may be sacrificed needlessly: the terrible cost of war may go' on and on. But if all Canadians place their savings and their earnings completely at the service of the country, they help to bring the day of total victory that much closer. Through four long years support has been given to the war effort in the dark days when Norway was invaded, when France fell, when our enemies crashed deeper into Russia, threatened Cairo, and swept through Hong-Kong. Singapore and Java. We must stick to the job till the end. We must not relax or falter. By putting more of our dollars than ever before into Victory Bonds, we help to "Speed the Victory."
