WHAT OF SMALL TOWN? 6' OVERNMENTAL and industrial , policies have always tended in the jjast to draw the people of this Dominion to the large cities. ) Everything has been done to make the big city an almost irresistible magnet, especially for the younger folk. ; These policies ai'e not sound. They ftave created an unbalanced economy andr-retarded the progress of the small towns and villages. ! The big cities are overcrowded as are their homes, and a continuous Sh()rtagi of houses exists. Industrial expansion in concentrated areas ha brought labor disturbances and unj-est. Slums, poverty, filthy dis-fafe, grime and juvenile delinquency are features common to every large Albeit, too, the cities provide Higher educational and cultural opportunities to both young and old at little cost; fine parks and playgrounds, cathedrals and churches, peatresand good music, concrete )'oads and sidewalks where the so-pial instincts of mankind are gratified as they jostle each other in the passing crowds, brilliantly lighted streets and shops, cheap transportation by bus or tram, good water and sewerage systems, pleasant clubs bnd pretentious homes for the wealthy, and mail delivered to the' home hr business once, twice or three imes a day. hvery economist and student of pur post-war problems, especially those concerned with maintaining ifull employment, has recommended the decentralization of industry and i:,; d ,; . . . 'Charm of Old Mexican Town feelplnroads of Modernity ' population. Not much has been done about it excepting by the Province of British Columbia which has made a good start by creating a Power Commission to develop industrial power and rural electrification, and by pushing the Peace River and the Hope-Princeton highways towards completion and in surveying for a railway to the Peace. The Dominion and the province can and should do a great deal more to decentralize the population in the big cities and give more services to the small towns. Here are two matters we will mention: Why should the big cities which pay the same 4 cents for their stamps as do those in the small towns and villages get a free mail delivery, while, the citizens in the latter places have to walk long distances to pick up their mail? Government monopolies are advocated and advanced because they are said to be for "service, not for profit." But there is mighty little service given in the small towns by the government monopolies, be they post offices or railways. Prince Rupert organizations should continue to press for a mail delivery service for this and other smaller cities and towns. In fact we see no justifiable reason for not giving mail delivery in the village communities too, especially those that are incorporated. The province, too, might well be supported in its regional planning even though it continues on a modest scale. Regional planning is only a preliminary to regional development. This should be expanded under the Department of Trade and Industry with the objective of cataloguing every opportunity in every hamlet of every region of the province. Then by advertising in a big way inform people of these opportunities, thereby activating them into the creation of new wealth and employment and counteracting the attractiveness they have so long encouraged of the big cities. s.

Forde of Sunnyside Baptist Church, Los Angeles, and Mr. and Mrs. A. L. -Forde,-also of the same city. . The two brothers and their wives, who are on holiday and enjoying the return trip to' Ketchikan, made their way to the church where they were warm ly welcomed by Rev. Mr. Dick, and became the guest speaker of the evening, Rev. Mr. -Forde, now' in his fourtieth year in his present pastorate, was formerly of Toronto, and then of Lethbrldge. Alberta. Taking the-ministrv of the prophet Jeremiah' as hl3 theme, he presented a stimu lating devotional. His brother, also an' able speaker and an active member' of the Gideon Societv briefly outlined the source, and the ser-' vice rendered by this organization. It originated on a Sunday af ternoon in the Y.M.C.A., James-vllle, ' Wis. It held two members only, John A. Nicholson and Samuel Hill, one of' whom took office as president, and the other as secretary. -' Sometime later, the membership swelled to three when H. J. . Knight joined himself to them. Not1 young in years at the time of: so vigorous an undertaking, I only one of these three patriots of the Gideons, John A. Nicholson, survives today. Aged and content, he sees a dream fulfilled. But from such humble beginnings the movement grew , rapidly as business men of various denominations Joined its membership and found a field and outlet for their zeal. In 1908 they commencedj'plac-ing Bibles in hotels. In so doine. they reached where the cjjurches cuuiu not, ior aDiaing aenomma- tional regulations set ud bvl hotel authorities did not supply ; Disperscns increased, and in a few years Bibles were placed lin . sanitoriums,.;lnstitutiapV of various natures, ven the state ' ' jails.

CHRISTOPHER MORLEx v'ISITS BANFF Author Christopher Morley was deeply interested in the Stony Indian tribe which was holding its annual celebrations at Banff in the Canadian Rockies when the reator of "Kitty Foyle" and other well-known authors visited there. The Stony's reservation, 30 miles east of Banff, is known as Morley. Above. Walking Eagle, member of the tribe, poses with the author, wearing traditional Indian headdress. during the war, when nine, million copies of the New Testament (with the Psalms In addition) was placed In the hands of the armed forces. Mr. Forde expressed the realization that many of these Bibles are never read. But somt) are. He told of one Instance where a man semi-drunk, and in a cheap hotel knocked the Bible to the floor. Groping for It, he found It open. He read and received and the course of his whole life was altered. That man, Paul Myres, is better known as First Mate Bob, heard weekly on the network program, "The Haven of Rest." Through radio, First Mate Bob reaches out, insplringly to thous-protect the Word of God but In closing Mr. Forde made a pertinent statement. "We are not endeavouring." he said, "to protect the Word of God but to to project it.'
