They are ..' along the lines that had been expect-. . ed and there is no surprise. ' Mi. King intimated before that . he might accede to the suggestion that he relinquish the personal . direction of external affairs, which he has assiduously conducted ever since he became Premier. It had been . . obvious for some time that Mr. St. Laurent was being groomed for the post to which he appears eminently ,. adapted. Mr. Ilsley, whether or not we liked - him and some of his acts, particu- - larly since the war, did a good job ' ris minister of finance. Tired after the strenuous years in that post, he .. is . deserving of being awarded the ; honored post of minister of justice, : . the holder of which is usually looked upon as a sort of senior adviser. : Possibly he will later " get a judiciary ' ' post. ' ., Youthful outlook and progressive vigor should be brought to the department of finance in the accession thereto of Mr. Abbott who displayed distinction and ability in the port- - folio of defence. Mr. King's administration should be' the stronger through the ctianges thqt have been made. TERRIBLE TOLL OF FIRE THE TERRIBLE TOLL of tragic 1 fires which we have recorded during the last few days, monopolizing our headline space, must have served to make the most of us think how very important it is that we be careful of fire,, particularly in these pnrlv winrer davs When we fail to be earefuL we may not only lie imperilling our own lives and property ' but that of our neighbors. Here in Prince Rupert there are many haz- : -ards which make the utmost of aire niost important. We have had our fire tragedies here but on the whole; we have been very fortunate. We : should do our utmost, evervone of .;;lus,; to ensure as far as possible that our good fortune will be maintained. Many of the major fires have been due to carelessness while smoking or drinking. Others have been due to dangerous practices such as kindling fies with, gasoline or kerosene. Still Others have been caused by structural defects in heating or electrical installations. Taking chances with fire is nigh criminal. TO THE ELECTORS . . .

LETTERBOX SOME CIVIC QUESTIONS Editor, Daily News: Now that the time has come to think about electing our city council for 1947 let's get them off to a good start by giving them a general Idea of public opinion. I How? Well, the local press have plenty of room to publish opinions, so how about It? In unity there is strength. One man's words moan nothing so don't be bashful new, break loose with the paper and pencil and lets hear ycur opinions. 1 A fow -weeks ago I wrote a letter asking why our roads couldn' 1e repaired. So far I have re- ' eeivrd no answer so I have boil' J . it down to two reasons. 1. The city Is broke. 2. We haven't man In Rupert who knows how to build In the lirst case If we are brcke why not borrow some money from the federal govern ment, litre we could put over a sood business deal. The Fed-nral government has signified If I intention of reimbursing th city j or dmape sustained 4o the reads. If we borrow say $250,000 frcm them and we owe them money we are more likely to gK a larger grant when they decide to pay up than if we didn't owe a cent. In other words if ZTJr, Mf i fh irsue and have the dett can cn:d and call it square or hove -t '.-! st $?00,GOO knocked off 'fv'njr f 50.0CO to pay. That Isn't much when we consider the ur-ount that has already been wrreted on the roads. Of course we shouldn't let the fpovliKial government off free ri:her. If we take an average of ' rs in Kup'rt over a period c-f 20 years the revenue from licFRces and tax on ijisollne etc. "hould amount to somewhere ifund $1.00a,000. What percen tage of that went towards the -r "i? that those oars were driven on? 1 Now; mv second reason. I think "should have some fair road-builders hanging arourd town. How about giving some of our ex-service cie-n a chance. During the war for example the Royal Canadian Engineers had to build rosds over the fields of France and througtt the forests of?Ger-v-)Tn- not in months or yean but. ; i hours nnddays. There was no time to worry about how, why. ..hpre pr whn, the Job was to done. Orders were "build it," the arcny has to get through" so, ' 'drr rhell and machine gun fire, throuih air attacks and rei Tlnci areas, .ths roads went hrrugh. For z moderate salary ve s'ict'ld fie pfjle to se'iure such men. You don't need professors vth college education Jast -'in mtellisent fellows with a 'Mtle bft of practical knowledge md common sense will do the There are also a few more nierUons I'd like to have answered. 1. What doss the city en--ineer get paid? Why? What are his qualifications? 2. What was the cost of re tiring the section of Tiilrd Avenue between McBride and First Street "and why wasn't the job done properly? 3. Why vas a man paid $20 or $30 a day as a valuator to go ! around and tell us what our prnp?rty was worth? Why couldn't a ycung, intelligent ex-serviceman have done the Job? Ml hi did wns gossip with the housewives and ask them how ! xl their property was and af-, trr having a cup of tea and list-; Tirvi to the news over the radio i moved on to the next house for anorner gossip iTor $30 a day too (or somewhere around that l.orloe). j 4. ..Why can't the city have an efficient inspection and com-; .plaint department so that, If someone has a load of wood -lurrped across the sidewalk that hasn't ibeen moved jn the last two weeks or the neighbor's dog . is troublesome or the telephone ; 's not working, the water main is broken or there's a foot of i water on the street near your I house, you can 'phone in and receive an Intelligent reply and 'get action. J 5. Why can't we force the N. j B.C. Power Company to give bet-I ter service? We -talk about industries. Where's the wwer to -perate them? All the extra power the Americans had has been removed. 6. When buildings were available at moderate (price equipped with modern heating, electrical and plumbing fixtures, built in refrigerators', hdtel type cook stoves, electric steam tables etc., whv was it found necessary to build a new Pioneers' Home? If i the ;e .buildings were not suitable las t.n.y .tood they could have been made so In my opinion for DEWEY RE-ELECTED AS GOVERNOR OF N,Y. -Thomas E. Dewey. Renublican governor of New York, was returned to office by the greatest margin ever given a Republican candidate for the governorship, and as a result becomes a leading contender for the 1948 presidential nomination. Opposing Governor Dewey, shown here with his wife as he signed the register at the polling station in New York, was Democratic UJS. Senator James M. Mead. a lower price than what a new buUdins cost, especially with tfte ! s0Kaes of building material. Ihat new material could have juilt a few good homes for ex-servicemen's families who probably will have to spend Christmas in some crowded hotel or share a home with another family. Now, if these questions couH be answered in the Dally Newi before the next election I'd have a better Idea of who to vote lor. There's no reason ior secrecy. Our taxes way .the people who have the answers so lets hear from theen and how about aom support or ff you flitlzens think I'm wrong, write the Daily News and say st). I can take It. J. A. UNWIW. PIONEER HOME COMPLAINTS Editor, Dally News: , Regarding' Aid. Norah Arnold's report on complain nude ft to the conditions and welfare of th? elderly men now living at th: Pioneer Home.
