Seeking a continuing commission : to investigate Domlnlon-provihclal - municipal relations, the brief urged that the federal governments pay municipal taxes or grants, and local improvement taxes on all Crown lands within municipalities. This submission is substantially' similar to one contained n this city's brief to the Goldenberg provincial-municipal com-mossion recently. The three other clauses of the brief were: 1. The federal government relieve the municipalities of the full cost of unemployment relief for employable persons. 2. The federal government enact an adequate low rental housing and slum clearance act. 3. That the federal and provincial governmen.ts make a de finite statement of their policy in respect to financial assistance to municipalities for public works projects. The brief was submitted by Jessica A. Allen of Montreal, secretary of the Canadian Federa- MEMBER A.B.O. (Authorized as Second Class Mall, Post Office Department, Ottawa). Pro'Cons Stand Still The Gallup Poll, which often is disappointing in the answers it gets, indicates that the Progressive-Conservative party is like the average manfs bank account in the minds of the voters the withdrawals of support; are as great as the accretions of strength. yhat to do about this is of public importance. It is important because any .Government (yes, even one headed by Mr. King) is a better government for having an alert, active, aggressive and courageous official Opposition forever watching for sins of omission and commission and ready to fight at the drop of the hat. There are elements in the official Opposition possessing these qualities. But there seems to be a lack of co-hc?;on, a suppi-fl'iity of counsel, an aggregation of fears, a desire to placate all elements, a dreaming of the rlny when a Progressive-Conservative party will sweep Quebec. There are many people in Canada 'who dislike Mr. King and all his works. "Dislike" is a moderate word in some instances. But many of these same voters so far have seen no reason for putting their faith in the Brackenites. There is nothing colorful there. Several of the new members, and three or four of the old, have been doing a good job, but they cannot make a party when the front bench is composed of moribund specialists (again with exceptions) whose principal claim to recognition is seniority. Everyone who knows says Mr. Bracken gave good government to Manitoba for twenty years. But an admistrator is not necessarily a Leader of the Opposition. Mr. Bracken would seem to be too conciliatory -to win fights, tooretiring to be fgijre aronnd whom" voters will rally, too pautious to essay a duel of words, too ; restrained in his criticisms to mate a newspaper headline. It isn't a new situation in parliamentary history. Lord Radolph Churchill, who will go down in history as the .father of Winston, was quite a mail and parliamentarian in his own right Over sixty years ago he and a variant few like spirits set to work to stir up their own party and to needle the Prime Minister, Mr. Gladstone, whose position in British Liberalism may not have been unlike that of Mr. King in Canadian affairs today. Lord Randolph and crew reached their objectives though at least one authority says they were brutal in their thrusts at the Old Guard of their own party. They were in fact, a successful fourth party. Perhaps Canada needs a successful fifth party. A ginger group could even help Mr. Ilsley towards the balanced Jbudget of which he speaks (occasionally). Summer Comes The drumming chug of diesel fishing vessels moving up the clear waters of the harbor these bright, calm mornings, the honking of migratory birds in flight, the, full leafing of the deciduous trees, yes, the flying dust of our streets these hot, sunny afternoons these are the announcement by Mother Nature of the arrival of the long days drenched with sunshine and the short cool nights which feature riotous displays of color and the noiseless sky rockets of the Northern Lights. Business men scurry around in their shirt sleeves, the youngsters and some of the big girls too cavor.t in their sun suits, the women come forth in their airy print dresses on downtown streets, some of the men with chores to do strip down to their cotton pants. Yes, summer has come back to Prince Rupert. It is an. old-time summer too for we are lacking the noise and excitement that marred Prince Rupert's natural attractions during the war years. It is all very pleasant on these generously sunshiny days. These are great days and we should all be happy. This is Prince Rupert's early start of summer. Away With Them It is all very inconsistent anyway that Victor Emmanuel, the puppet of Mussolini, and Emperor Hirohito, the "divine" stooge of the Japanese war lords, should remain on their thrones. It is but a hypocritical mockery to retain them. They have to pass on. Possibly, there is too much of that kind of expensive sham but therg. is certainly no rhyme or reason fdr the maintenance particularly of Victor or Hirohito. They can mean but nonsensical duplicity and ridiculous servitude in high places. The world is well rid of them and they are personally fortunte if the worst Fate has for them is quiet exile. i After 35 years advertising agency experience Henry T. Ewald states: "Newspaper advertising during the war proved itself so strong that I hope governments will continue to value the impprtance of national advertising.'- Rotary Governor To Visit City W. Harold Hicks, governor of District 101, Rotary International, of which the Prince Rupert club is a member, will visit Prince Rupert on May 30, the local club has been advised. Plans are under way for an official welcome during the district governor's brief stop here. It is hoped that members of the Ketchikan Rotary Club will be In attendance. Telephone Taking Over Army Lines British Columbia Telephone Co., at noon on Tuesday, took over the Pacific Communications System into Prince Rupert as far as Canadian Army lines are concerned. Army signals are now being handled by wireless again with Morse code transmission. During the war teletype had been used. REDBUSH TEA CAPETOWN, P) "?ooibos" (Redbush) tea is developing into quite an industry in Cape Prov ince, and as much' as $27,000 has been paid for the roolbos crop of one farm at Wellington. With a taste similar to ordinary tea, roolbos grows wild, and Is looked upon as one of the healthiest drinks in existence in South Africa.

President J. S. Wilson reported that B.C.T.F. President-elect C. J. Oates had keynoted the policy in these words: "It will be a fundamental policy of the parent body, its locals and each Individual member to press relentlessly for a fair, reasonable wage for the teacher, too long the forgotten man among Canadian wage earners. "A fair living for the teacher is a vital prerequisite to any organized effort toward better ment of our children and, conse Continuing his report. Mr. Wil son announced that the conven tion had unanimously endorsed the following motion, prepared by a special salary committee named to determine a bxslc sal ary schedule for guidance of teachers throughout B.C. In negotiations with school boards, a committee of which local delegate Bruce Mlckleburgh had been a member: "Resolved that the B.C. Teach ers' Federation minimum salary scale as t he basis of negotiations with boards of school trustees be Elementary, $1300 t0 $2400, with annual Increments of $100; Secondary. $1000 to $3000. with annual Increments of $100." Since the local association had already secured an agreement with the board that local teachers be paid on a schedule similar in a number of respects to the above, the meeting resolved, In relation to teachers outside Prince Rupert who are now in the new school district covering this area, that they should all be paid In accord with the schedule already nald locany.

Applewhalte, chair man of the Peace River Railway committee of the Prince Rupert Chamber of Commerce, told a meeting of the Junior Chamber of Commerce last night that construction of a rail line from Haz-elton to Hlnes Creek in the Peace River block would serve the double purpose of providing a direct rail outlet for the agricultural wealth of that rich territory, as well as supplying world - needed commodities for shipment through the port of Prlnre Rupert. Quest speaker at the Junior Chamber's monthly dinner meet- , lng held In the Commodore Cafe, Mr. Applewhalte asserted that construction of 525 miles of railway linking existing rail lines would lve Canada a third transcontinental railway which would cut off more than 1,000 miles from the distance from Hong Kon? to Liverpool via Vancouver and Montreal. This third railway, running from Prince Rupert to Churchill, could be roast ructed at a cost of $18,000,000 and would be a powerful stimulant in settlement of the northern arras in the four western provinces, whose lack of population hinges on lack of markets and la -k of transportation to markets, h said. The fertility of the Peace River area Is already a matter of record, he said, and awaits development by a large population. The strategic position of Prince Rupert as a world port has also been proven, and It requires commodities for world shipment. "In our fight for this rail line, there Is no .room for half mexs-ures," he warned. We must go all out for It or meet her guests when .giving alleave lt alone completely. Any luncheon In her home? A.
