Accurate
Reporting
Colored
or
exaggerated
news
reports
designed
to
attract
attention
through
their
sensationalism
often
lead
to
protest
and
embarrassment.
Fortunately,
the
Daily
News
and
its
staff
had
no
part
in
an
offending
dispatch
which
appeared
in
the
Vancouver

last

forming

of

of
which
there

Canadian
National
Finances
The
Canadian
National
Railways
management
is
to
be
congratulated
on
another
year
of
outstanding
success
as
far
as
financial
showing
is
concerned.
It
is
very
gratifying-
that
a
surplus
of
almost
$25,000,000
should
have
been
achieved
during
1915.
If
a
good
showing
should
ever
have
been
made,
of
course,,
it
was
during
such
a
boom
year
as
that
one
was.
The
financial
administration
of
the
Canadian
National
Railways
under
the
Vatiglian
regime
has
never
been
questioned.
From
that
aspect,
during
the
years
of
war,
it
had
all
the
breaks
although
it
also
had
very
great
operating
problems
which
were
admirably
met.
Conditions
are
rapidly
changing,
however,
and
it
is
to
be
hoped
that,
in
its
zeal
for
financial
showings,
the!
railway
administration
and
management
will
not
lose
sight
of
the
fact
that
it
also
has
a
purpose
and
a
duty
in
the
development
of
the
country
and
its
own
assets
and
that
it
will
not
become
"penny
wise
and
pound
foolish."
Campaign
on
National
Basis
Heading
the
list
of
important
projects
sponsored
by
the
Junior
Chamber
of
Commerce
of
Canada
for
1946
is
the
Canadian
Beautifi-cation
Campaign
to
be
held
May
1
to
11,
in
which
the
local
Junior
Chamber
will
participate.
The
value
of
Beautification
or
Clean-Up
Campaigns
has
long
been
recognized.
Such
campaigns
were
organized
in
seven
or
eight
of
our
large
centres
in
Canada
in
1945.
Local
branches
of
the
Junior
Chamber
of
Commerce
have
played
an
active
part
in
these
campaigns
because
they
know
that
they
are
productive
of
immeasurable
benefits
in
the
matter
of
public
health,
fire
prevention,
tourist
development,
better
housing,
fuller
employment
and
civic
pride.
This
year
the
national
executive
of
the
Junior
Chamber
of
Commerce
representing
over
a
hundred
local
Junior
Boards
of
Trade
and
Junior
Chambers
of
Commerce,
with
a
membership
of
20,000
young
business
men,
approved
a
plan
to
co-ordinate
and
extend
existing
campaigns
op
a
national
basis
so
that
the
message
of
Clean-Up,
Paint-Up,
Plant-Up,
Light-Up,
Fix-Up
could
be
carried
to
all
Canadians
from
coast
to
coast.
Up
to
the
present
time,
over
40
cities
and
towns
are
planning
to
take
part
in
this
year's
campaign
and
it
is
expected
this
number
will
be
increased
within
the
next
few
weeks.
The
project
has
the
complete
support
of
the
Canadian
t
Chamber
of
Commerce
and
of
Senior
Boards
and
Chambers.

me
the
