"After that ' first course in archaeology my interest never avjrd, i)rf Thompson said. - Wlifen I' graduated from Bryn Mawr, which still offers the best ...archaeological course in North JSmsrica, I won a fellowship which took me to Greece Just at the endsof the First World War. I exploded the ruins near Athens, tpose at Mycenae and later lived a year at Arc.adla." Appointed acting director on the retirement' of Dr. C. T.

In fact an outpost hospital such as the Red Cross has now been promised there, rjvith its staff of two or three nurses j and. compact put up-to-date equip- ment, ,hould very well meet at least the urgent and emergent needs of the bustling interior industrial centre. ?i,..MeanvvhiIe, the military hospital Istfif remains offering a splendid site available for use as a sanitarium "or institution of some such sort. -Possibly, the time is opportune to .again urge upon quarters that might interested the altogether ideal location and adaptability of the Terrace military hospital for such a permanent institution. WHY THE FUSS? HAVE NO BRIEF for the WE Roman Catholic Church or any other religious denomination, although we do believe there are too many of them working at cross, purposes toward the samegencraijend r-jgppd Christian liyingb'ujWe do fjjelJevAthe Victoria city council is uiyluly exercised when it calls in the Protestant clergy to help it make up its mind as'to whether or not a cerc-.'""mdnial procession of the Catholic !"'rChtirclT lshould be permitted on the '"city streets. If the city of Victoria is going to be so careful as all this e..on..whom it permits to parade the s. streets, it is going to have a lot of problems on its hands and, if it is going to stop any of the prqcessions, it will land itself in very undemo-cratjcrritory by its actipnsi 'May- be- .-the- Victoria city council, in its -fiolicitousness and discretion, has forgotten about such things as the Atlantic Charter, the Four Free doms. In fact, it all sounds very much like nonsense to us. By all means let every church and every lawful organization have its parades as long as they keep within the bounds of law and order, common decency and do not block the traffic or incite the people to treason or acts of violence all of which can be regulated in the oiv dinary course of street patrol anyway. The hesitancy of the Victoria council about granting the Catholic Church permission to hold its parade is about one of the silliest things we have heard of for some time. It might, with just as much reason, try to rule out such spectacular July 12 demonstrations as the Orangemen, in all right and democratic legality, staged throughout the country yesterday. REAL ALASKA HIGHWAY THE SEATTLE STAR, declaring that it has always been for a real highway to Alaska that will serve the people of the United States, the people of Canada and especially the people of Alaska, is "against any attempt to foist upon the people and the governments of the United States and Canada, as a permanent route, the Alcan interior road built by the Army during the war. There is no justification for any attempt to establish a permanent Alaskan highway on such a route." 4 As to the present condition of the road and prospects for. making it a permanent tourist highway, the Star draws attention to a statement made in the House by Representative O'Hara of Minnesota: "If I were travelling on that highway I would want to have a boat with me, I would want to have an automobile mechanic with me, and I would want to have a couple of barrels of gasoline and oil; a couple of weeks' supply of provisions, and everything from mosquito netting to fur-lined closing and blankets. The Alcan trip would, under most favorable conditions be only for hardy, vigorous souls, weYl-equlpped and in good physical condition.' Routes for an Alaskan highway have been investigated thoroughly, both by United States and Canadian commissions. Both commissions' recommended western routes. What is needed is an agreement between the United States and Canada to build such a highway. Canada is not ready yet. But let us not forget the project. Let. us, meanwhile, do nothing that will give the project a black eye,. Any attempt to maintain a general use highway on the ill-advised interior route would set back for decades the project of a real highway to Alaska. anywhere else in the world because there are so few museums here and as they come Into existence there will me a need for qualified workers.

ALUMINUM HOUSE HERE First Structure of Its Kind Heiuy Erected at Kingston MONTREAL The first all-aluminum prefabricated house in the Dominion will bo assem bled and ready for occupancy three hours after Its arrival at a prearranged site on; the property of the Aluminum Company of Canada at Kingston, Ontario, Thursday. Built in England and brought to Canada under the direction 0t the Aluminum Laboratories Ltd. and the Alcan Engineers, it arrived on the steamer Empire Kangaroo and left here Tuesday night on four Canadian National Railways flat cans. The "Alroh" house, as it is called in England after the Aircraft Industries Research Organization on Housing which has built nearly '90,000 of these aluminum dwellings, has been brought to Canada for experiment. The structure will be tested under Canadian climate, particularly to see how it will stand up under the rigors of winter weather in the Dominion, The houses have proven very satisfactory in the United Kingdom under all weather conditions. If the experiment is successful and shews that these houses are suitable to Canadian needs. these assembly line dwellings may be mass produced to ease the Dominion's housing" shortage.
