This comnletettithe rout and future historians may well point out that the capture of Tunis on May 7 was the signal for the opening of an Allied .offensive against Hitler and Mussolini. More Satisfactory Conditions . . . The paucity of criminal cases at the session of the Supreme Court Assizes at Prince" Rupert this week once again indicated a Satisfactory absence of major crime in this city and district.- We have had some troubles with safe crackings, so far unsolved, and other incidents owing to the known presence of a considerable lawless element in our midst but, some criticism which may be heard notwithstanding, the situation is by no means out of hand. Therefore, ve may be justified in expressing some satisfaction. Conditions are, doubtless, much better here today than they yere several months, ago when liquor was so easy to get. This fa iin spite of prognostications about how terrible it votijju be if men were unable to get their liquor or jf it were! made more difficult for them to do so. We think that subsequent events have borne out our contention that absence or tightening up on the liquor supply would make for a better condition of law and order here. Getting back to' the Assizes, it is to be noted that liquor was at the bottom or had a prominent part to do with three of the four cases which were presented at the court. Speaking hypothetically, it might be permissible to suggest that things might have been much worse had dispensing of liquor continued as it was before with a continuation of such disorderly and disgraceful conditions as existed for a time. Canada Needs Nurses . . . Adequate nursmg care must be provided for the armed forces, for var industries, and for the home front, and this means a pi-eater number of young women are needed to choose nursing as their career.
