A few months ago when we advocated that measures ne taken to clean up nocturnal roistering and disorder on the main streets of Prince Runert. there wpi-p mnnv . i , . ,. , ' . : " M" in response icapuuse to iu the uie increased increased wno weie inclined to ridicule us for talking about it be- mand of those whose Incomes w cdube, tney said, notning could be clone and no improvement was possible. However, what they said could not be done has been done. It is interesting to note how much more satisfactory conditions have become since the tightening up of the dispensing of liquor both hard and lighteven though conditions may not be all that could be desired by any means as yet. Manpower Problem . . . The federal minister of labor, Mr. Mitchell, as he has consistently been, seems to be more cheerful about the manpower situation in Canada than a lot of other people are. He expresses the belief that his department has things organized in such a way that the needs may be satisfactorily met. It is to be hoped that he is right. Possibly here in Prince Rupert, where there is undoubtedly a bottleneck in manpower as well as other things, the situation may appear to be unduly serious. It is certainly none too satisfactory here and we had been led to believe that it was a critical problem at a good many other places and in various fields of industry. Undoubtedly, the government has it in 'its power to improve the situation if it can resolve itself to take the steps necessary to do so. Traffic Accidents . . . Another condition incidental to Prince Rupert's increased population and more metropolitan state is the greatly increased number of traffic accidents. Already this year there have been several fatal traffic accidents Prior to the past year, one might say, fatalities of this nature here were indeed a rarity. Now, unfortunately, they are becoming almost commonplace. Traffic facilities, like other things in Prince Rupert, are not reared to the new increased population and industrial activity. The streets need improvements snd the traffic regulations require overhauling. As long as conditions continue as they are we may expect more traffic accidents and fatalities. That is the reason why everything possible should be done to speed up action on. these matters. Meantime the greatest of precautions are neces-sary both on the part of drivers and pedestrians. of, say, 20 per cent, the figure, indicate that the volume of out put has shown a tremendous expansion, which has not yet ceased. "At the beginning of this period, much surplus capacity was available and rising war -expenditures did not at first entail any net decrease in the volume of things which civilians could buy. Indeed, the production land consumption) of these things expanded somewhat ce- ere Using because of the war expenditures. In terms of employment and, to a smaller degree, standards of living, the contrast with the depressed years before the war was striking. In the later stages, of course, war expenditure has increased more rapidly than national production and average living standards are therefore declining. But the experience of the last four years has shown that government war expenditure on a sufficient scale can produce full employment. "These developments undoubtedly have made a deep impression upon, the public mind. There may be a tendency to conclude that government expenditure for o'.her purposes, at a high enough level, is all that Is required to prevent depression in peace time. Such a conclusion does not give sufficient weight to the other important conditions which have existed during the war period. "The need for war goods and MONDAY.

Annual Report of Hank of Canada Suggests Means for Keeping Up of Employment After War is Over OTTAWA, Feb. 15 "After the war.is over, the present driving stimulus to maximum employment and production will be removed," said Graham F.

New Arm Badge Cause Rumpus LONDON, Feb. 15 J" Anti-Aircraft Command officials . have created a minor tempest In their choice of a new arm badge for its gunners. The new badge shows an arm bending a bow pointed skyward, with a hand holding an arrow about to be dispatched. The badge is replaces showed the Sword of the City of London piercing a Hein- jkel bomber, an Insignia in which considerable pride was shown by the Home Guard and Army gunners manning anti-aircraft posts In the London district.

The previous week the Yanki downed the topnotch Dry Dock squad but fell before the high flying Airmen in the second game on Friday to the tune of 60-47.
