Pott Office SENATOR McRAE THli late Senator A. D. McRae, who I parsed away in Ottawa yesterday, had his friends and his enemies. He had his admirers and he had his very severe critics. Be that as it may, he, nevertheless may be counted among those who played an important part during a period of nearly forty years in the opening up and development of the natural resources and industries of Western Canada and British Columbia in particular. He was a matt of vision and courage and, while lie may have profited himself, his initiative was helpful in providing profit for others in various ways. The General was instrumental in development of tlit i.rth through his organization of fining, mining and ! lumbering industries. Incidentally, he had a plan t people the Peace River district which brought Dominion-wide notice in 192S. In-the House of Commons he said : "The Peace River area is capable of supporting two million people if the government has sufficient courage to carry it out." Eighteen years later these words are 5till appropriate and of significance to Prince Rupert. AN INNOVATION THE Prince Rupert Gyro Club took I time out yesterday from stereotype routine to consider a questionnaire from a special committee of the Legislative Assembly which is considering reform of the electoral system of British Columbia, the idea .of the questionnaire being to assist in obtaining a cross-section , of public opinion on various proposals in connection with electoral reform. There were sixteen questions and a general summation of the composite attitude of the club might be that they favored an electoral plan whejreby it woJd be made as easy andrsimple as possible for everybody to yote although the members, in large majority, stopped short of making voting compulsory as being inconsistent with democratic practice. Ij. is not so much how Gyros or anyliother organization may feel in regard 5 to electoral matters and issues that counts but the fact that they; are interested enough in non- political public questions such as the franchise as to devote their time to discussing them. The program was an innovation as far as service organizations in Prince Rupert is concerned and other such bodies might find similar programs interesting and educational and a diversion from the usual humdrum of service club routine. There is all to little practical, collective and sustained attention paid to public matters in such communities as Prince Rupert. The service clubs as the local Gyros did yesterday might well take the lead in developing thought alone these lines. if, Sf, Jfi EMPLOYING VETERANS THE Department of Veterans Affairs is launching two educational campaigns on behalf of discharged service personnel. The first campaign is addressed to the employers of Canada and is designed to offset the impression that so many people have, that the time spent in the armed forces was time out of a man's life. This was a war of machines as well as men and a number of highly skilled tradesmen were necessary to keep those machines running. As an example, the army alone had 216 basic trades, the navy had about 200, and the air force about the same number. Many of these men, on their return to civilian life, are competent journeymen. Others have bood basic skills and can be traimd , through the training on the job program which these departments may add to the income a man receives from his employer while perfecting himself in a trade. Many veterans learned qualities of initiative, teamwork, responsibility and discipline, that sliould be of decided value to industry. The second campaign is on behalf of disabled veterans. Experience has shown that a physical disability need not be an occupational handicap. Unfortunately there is a hangover of the old concept that elevator and watchmen's jobs shovld be reserved for those with physical disabilities. There is also the tendency to consider the disabled only as coming within the bracket of those who have lost arms, legs or some other visible function. Actually, this group is only a small percentage and special placements have to be effected in such cases as those with heart and chest conditions, epilepsy, arthritis and so forth. Industry has been most co-operative in absorbing a large number of these men but it is important that they be placed having in mind their capacity, rather than their disability and that they be placed in a job in which they can be 100 efficient.

To make driving safer, highway signs are erected which carry warning words or symbols, to enable motorists to anticipate abnormal conditions on the road ahead. In addition, the signs are made in different shapes. Motorists who familiarize themselves with these different shapes, will be prepared to act on the warning message of each sign, even before coming close enough to read the words or symbols. The shape of a highway sign tells you the "shape" of things lo come. Contrihtitvil by StC& C APILAN 0 (M) BREWERY sHsfJHHsfJHLfjsHsVJs BE SAFE DRIVE 5AFELY ACCIDENTS DON'T JVST HAPPEN THEY ARE CAUSED
