Mother's Self-sacrifici $1.00 50c 25c 40c $2.50 Spring has almost arrived in the northern hemisphere and already there is a quickening in the tempo of war. These are the days when new and sudden developments occui They are the days when we must be prepared for surprises and shocks. For some time now the news has been .generally pleasant for our side that is if the tragic record of war which, at its best, is always so replete with sorrow and bitterness, can ever be called pleasant. However, we need not anticipate that there may not still be dark days ahead. A sense of realism must convince us that the war is far from won yet arid there must be a lot more fighting before the victory is oiirs. However, we face the future vvith well-justified confidence. Meanwhile, possibly we might say that the sooner the unpleasant things which we must face are over and done with the better it will be for us. And we can all be readying ourselves to do everything we can each in our own small way to bring the successful victory and peace. Talking of the Press ... Probably through its own fault in being too considerate and helpful, the press of Prince Rupert has' come upon evil days through lack of appreciation. This was what two indignant newspapermen agreed upon last night when, to cap the climax of inconsideration and discourtesies that have long been heaped upon them, they turned up at the city council meetingto find their historic table ;gone,- leaving only a couple of hard chairs upon which ,!theycould sit,, if they wanted to, and scribble notes on ;their laps or as best they might.

They suggest that they have done enough for their townsfolk to deserve better treatment than being relegated in the council chamber to the indignity of sitting until they are calloused by hard kitchen chairs while the good and wise mayor and aldermen exhaust themselves with more or less mighty questions into somnolence on their leather upholstered swivel chairs. Maybe the people of this man's town have come to take their newspapers and the newspapermen a little bit too much for granted. We really do think that we have served our friends and neighbors well enough to deserve a little more consideration than we are getting, To take our poor old table in the council chamber away has just started us to thinking along these lines. If the mayor and aldermen rate oak writing desks and leather upholstered swivel chairs, so do we.

Much of this regret table ingratitude is due to the husband's lack of appre ciation for this long and priceless sacrifice. Domestic life would ness to humanity if fathers and children were more lllUUgJUIUl. , It is one of the unsolved mysteries that there should be demanded of one sex a perpetual exercise of self-sacrifice, in which the other declines to share. This is one of the most glaring injustices of our social life.

Proceeds from this tea go towards their overseas parcels fund. Well, I don't know what the steepyheads who are on lodge and comp or are out on subsistence are going to do for alarm , clocks once they've broken their old ones. I'd say, treat them with the greatest respect becauses they ars developing- Yehudi like qualit'cs that is- they are going off the market and going fast. I tried to get an alarm clock for P.O. Anderson yesterday and finally bought practically the last one on Third Avenue and no more are b?ing made. So It's up bright and early for you from now on, Andy, rise and shine.
