Improved Peace Outlook j fELEGATES to the General Assembly of the J United Nations have left New York for their with relief that, after the ominous clashes which a few weeks previous were proving so alarming and making the world doubt if world peace could ever be arranged, such an improved understanding as now appears to exist" could have been recorded. ' Treaties for five former Nazi satellite nations! have been perfected and the ground work has been laid for the peace treaty with Germany which will be" completed early next year. The most encouraging thing, of course, arising from the latest United Nations session was the progressive plan for an international arms limitation program and the agreement on the outlawing of the atom as an instrument of warfare. While there remain numerous controversial details to be composed before the peoples of the world will feel convinced that the Charter which emerged from the San Francisco Conference last year is eventually destined to be the working instrument to outlaw war as national and international policy, the discussions and agreements produced ukthis latest meeting of the United Nations have cleared away much of the debris hindering practical progress. ' t Prime Minister Attlee recently stated: "In a democratic approach to the prob-. Jems of the world there Is no freedom more important than freedom of the press." Fire At Christmas The Native Voice YEAR, some Christmas EVERY festivities are marred by fire accidents to the Christmas tree, or to the decorations, or to 'the flimsy fancy dresses of little" children. At times, the results are tragic. Without care, the kindliest people may only be setting a danger trap for their children. Christmas decorations generally are made of inflammable material, and H s. courting trouble to have a naked light anywhere In their vicinity. For example, lighted candles In paper lanterns suspended from the ceiling or hung on a Qhrjsfmas tree, or an im properly Insulated string of electric lights may prove beacons of danger. With children romping about in their flimsy finery, the greatest care must be exercised that under no circumstances would it be possible for the children oOhV decorations to come into contact with a naked light, whether it be from gas, candle, or a gust of wind may blow curtains or decorations acros3 a.ftaked lightand the damage is done. Great danger lurks in using ' strings of electric lights that have done service the year before unless they have been thoroughly examined and tested before being put up. Each Inch of every set of lights should be carefully inspected for worn places in the insulation or outer cover. If a worn place is on the outer cover, a strip of friction tape wrapped round It will help to prevent accidents. If the Inside Insulation is worn, the job Is one Tor a practical electrician. Broken or damaged plugs shoufd lie discarded. Bulbs also should be tested before being fixed. "THE NATIVE VOICE," offi cial organ of the Native Brotherhood of British Columbia, has made its initial appearance and we hasten to welcome this first and very creditable journalistic effort of the native peoples of the province. It is particularly interesting to note that the editor of "Native Voice" is Jack Beynon, hailing from Port Simpson, a veteran of World War t who suffered wounds which make it possible for him to get around only with the aid of crutches. The journal which he conducts is a credit to him. "Native Voice" is an eight-page tabloid which should fill a real need as a medium for assembling and presenting the news of the native peoples of the province as well as advancing their interests in an editorial way. The Daily News, which for many years has devoted considerable space to news of the native people and hopes to be able to continue to do so, extends its congratulations and best wishes to "Native Voice." High School Plays Have Second Night A larger audience than on the opening night and a very appreciative one was on hand for the repeat presentation of three one- act comedies as the school's Christmas entertainment. Each of the farces went off well with credit to all concerned. Presentations were made to Miss Deane. Aubrey Bate and James Clarke, ine directors. After the plays, refreshments were served to the participants. Advertise In the Dally News. LOW AIR FARE from Prince George EDMONTON $10.00 GKANDE PRAIRIE. 19.00 FORT ST.

LETTERBOX RESENTS STORY Editor, Daily News: The story told by Mike Neg-raiff In the Dally News Novem ber 26 regarding Uie mall boat Monk has caused considerable stir up here. I do not see that there is any truth in the whole thing. I don't seem to know a thing about all the time that we were supposed to be on the beach with some sardines and a loaf of bread. In fact, we were in Ar-andale all that week. Mr. Neg-raiff was getting three meals a day and a bed to .sleep In from 'some friends of mine at Arran-dale. Furthermore, my boat Monk is open fcr inspection to anyone at anytime as far as rood Is concerned. There Is probably more food on it right now than there Is In Mr. Negraiff's pantry. I would also like to thank the native family who risked their lives to save ours if he could tell me their names. As far as I knew my boat, the Monk, went every place we had to ?o under Its own power and .still is able to do so. I would like to have this thing corrected. People coming up here will certainly change their minds-if they read bogus tales like that. I now have on hand no less than four papers from through out Canada with tne same story and I do not like it. I would suggest that your -re porter interview Mr. Negralff and get the truth from him. Thank you, TED HASSE. Alice Arm. NEW LOUNGE CAR IS OUT Latest in BedroomIuffet Coaches from C.N.K.
