The
propaganda
of
the

authorities
has
been
aimed
at
presenting
the

as
extremely
generous.
This
successfully

in

Hence,
a

them

A

is
the

of
what
appeared
to
be
a
very
serious
crisis
between
Britain
and
Russia
over
the

of
British

It

to
tne

and

esteemed
"Charlie"
Barber
on
the
occasion
of
his
retirement
from
the
active
publication
of
the
Chilliwack
Progress,
long
recognized
as
one
of
Canada's
leading
weekly
newspapers,
and
welcome
his
joint
successors
Leslie

Dorothy

and

We
do
so
with
possibly
a
little
more
than

interest.
Of
course,
everyone
in

knows
Charlie
Barber
and,
for
that
reason,
mention
of
his
retirement
would
have
been
worthy
of
commentary
here.
Further
than
that,
however,
there
is
particular
interest
in
one
of
his
successors
Cecil

who
was

visions!
They
came
over

trails?
through
the
bush,
and
over
the
swamps.
Yes,
they
came
by
the
hundreds.l
each
with
the

of

and
the
heart
of

We
had

we

Then
came
the
late
Sir
Eel-
ward
Beatty
and
how,
after
years
of
his
gigantic
combines,'
Mi-.
Vaughan
of
the
C.N.R.
told-the
Railway
Committee
during
the
last
session
of
Parliament
that
the
N.A.R.
laid
up
a
a
deficit
of
$1,486,000.
When
he
was
asked
if
he
expected
a
deficit
of
one-and-a-half
million
Indefinitely,
he
said
"The
N.A.R.
will
show
a
deficit
for
some
years."
When
asked
If
extending
the
line
to
the
Pacific
would
help
the
situaUon,
Mr.
VaUghan
said
"It
might
increase
the
loss."
Then
W.
M.
Neal,
of
the
C.P.R.
after
an
extensive
trip
ln
our
northland,
said
in
an
interview
of
June
26,
1944:
"As

and
development
takes
place,
it
will

necessary
to

consideration
to

facilities
for

He
.pointed
out
that
railways
were
now
the
last
to
enter
new
territory.
Mr.
vaughan's,
and
Mr.
Neal'i
statements
very
clearly

party
that
can
