If the evidence of Igor Gouzenko, the Russian cipher clerk, at the trial of Fred Rose, Member of Parliament, charged with espionage conspiracy, is authentic, the ramification's of Soviet espionage activity would appear to be more widespread than most of us would have suspected. The government has already taken drastic precedent-shattering steps in its investigative measures to bring the espionage activity in the country to light. We have. been told that a very serious situation exists. This would lead us to believe that more damage has been done by fifth columnists and spies than has so far been revealed. There is evidence now that espionage has been connected with certain political activities which seemed bordering on the subversive but which were tolerated under our conception of freedom and democracy. Treachery had hardly been suspected. If the authorities have actqd correctly thus far, it would appear that even more drastic action may be anticipated and it quite possibly may produce further ,' Nationally known educators, public school teachers and business men are loud In their praises for the training and experience gained by carrier boys in .'newspaper sales and delivery. Governor Thomas E. Dewey of New York, the late Governor Alfred E. Smith and Joseph P. Kennedy, former ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James, were carrier boys In their youth. Immigration The time is about here when someone will raise a hue and cry about immigration. That's a natural development since Canada is a sparsely settled country with huge undeveloped natural resources whereas the European countries are overcrowded, short on everything that Canada has and the outlook for many a citizen of Europe is definitely not bright. Whether or not Canada should embark on an ambitious immigration program at all is a question which our economists, statesmen and citizens generally must decide after full consideration of all the factors. One thing seems clear. We should only permit those to enter our country who have the intention and the ability eventually to become true Canadian citizens. By this we mean those people who possess a willingness, when they have remained a sufficiently long period of time to serve their country "all out" in time of war and peace and with a general desire to, be a useful citizen and to fit into the customs and practices of the country. Further, we should restrict immigration to those who can do the work which is necessary in our type of country. We do not want slum dwellers. Rather we want woodsmen and the farmers and the artisans from the countries which have active and progressive economies. We do not want citizens with a lingering fondness for communism, fascism or nazism. We want new citizens who are imbued with a desire to become members of a democratic society where all men have equal opportunities and a desire to make use of them. If we are going to admit new members to our family, let us only, let in those who will soon work side by side with us to make Canada worthy of the future which lies in store for her. DEPLORABLE CONDITIONS EVENTIDE HOME; APPEAL IS MADE FOR ACTION Editor, Daily News: This is a letter to bring to the attention of the general public of this city of the conditions that prevail in the Old Men's or Eventide Home. This Local Union of the United Association Plumbers; and Steamfitters has for some time past been -deeply interested in the welfare oi inese agea ana ailing men and we appointed a committee tp investigate. We would like to draw to your attention some of the highllehts as they were presented to our members on Friday nlht. They I found seven beds In a room 20 by 24 feet .with four windows, occupied by seven old men. In other room of 8 by 10 feet there are three beds. One other room of about the same size is used as a sitting room in which was FOUR VETERANS PRINCE RUPERT DECORATORS Specialists In Each Branch Paperlianging Signs Decorating Blue 285 Box 1422 Stn. B. a chesterfield and ' one easy chair. The outlook from these rooms is most depressing One- - -side overlooks an old chicken house, the other overlooks who seems to be a dumping ground for any surplus garbage. One old chap, who is confined to his bed, told our committee that there was only one place ahead of him and that was Fairview, and that he prefers that at any time instead of living any longer under the present conditions. A writer in the daily press said on Thursday: "So many of our retiring citizens leave the city. Why? U It because they take one look at the cemetery and get heart failure? And can you blame them?" Now, sir. Imagine what the thoughts of this poor old man are when he would prefer to go to that floating city of the dead than still live for his allotted time in this .beautiful northern country. We were also Informed that, when one of these men dies, the other occupants of the room must eat their breakfast beside the body of their dead comrade They usually rile during the night and. until the undertaker arrives to pick up the remains. Uiey must share the same room. What a cheerful situation And we have the audacity to call ourselves Christians. Or. at least, we claim this is a Christian country and we are content to sit back smugly In our comfort oKlo hnmOD Tl.n.n I .. . 1.1 I I roiien somewhere. MISTRUST DEPLORED French-Canadian Author Returns from Tour of Communities in U.S. MONTREAL, W Luc Roche-fort, French-language author from Three Rivers, Que., .said In an interview here on his return from a tour of the United States that French and English-speaking Canadians must not mistrust one another and should learn to make mutual allowances. Mr. Rochefort, whose trip took him to American centres where large populations of French origin are to be found, said that French-speaking citizens of the Dominion must come to realize that in learning English they will not be endangering anything in their social heritage but that they will benefit. "We have been isolated for 150 years," he said. "Our leaders have told as that if we are not, we will lose our Catholic religion and our cultural lnteg-rityV' "I went to New Orleans, where we have the descendants of the Americans who migrated from Nova Scotia In 1775. They have not lost their religion and they still speak French, though all also speak English." Mr. Rochefort also spoke of the former Canadians of French language In New England, saying that "they are prospering in all walks of life and they have not lost their religion or their traditional culture." "This shows that our fears in Canada have not been well grounded," he added. Local Buyers Take Skunk Hollow Cabins Tenders for 22 former Ameri can residence cabins in Skunk Hollowpart of the CUR. park j have been accepted by War Assets Corporation from local , !tivnre ffnn ",hlvor IVflr Aesotc I sales manager, announced Friday afternoon. The prices, he said, were fairly close to the appraised value of the buildings. The cabins, used during the war to house American civilian personnel, 'were sold to five local individuals and to a local company which took the greater portion of them. Of course, we know there Ls a fund to provide a HOME for these people. We dug In the same ot thelcst of decent people to help provide It. What we would like to know is when are these people going to get this home? Or do we Intend this batch to die in that hovel? Now, sir, we as working men do not w'.sh to criticize without doing our share and we have given the sum of $200 to our committee to furnish some, of the most essential things that will help to bring some degree of comfort to these senior residents iii their hour of need. NOW. We are wondering if the tner chants ofthis city will co-oper-nte with us by selling thess thlnsrs at cost which would stretch our money considerably. Why, oh why, are we content to sit back and enjoy to the full all the benefits of a bountiful Creator and not be concerned ! about these tilings? Surely It is more blessed to give than to receive! For the caretakers, we have the greatest praise in the way they are carrying on In a very difficult task. What Prince Rupert wants is. first of all, to realize to the full her duty to ALL of the cltlzea?, especially those who cannot help themselves. We have the Civic Centre, which is an excellent thing and can be of great service to old and young alike, but surely it Is our duty to think of these others who In all probability UlliANIIl I AUUTIDN SALE CONTINUING UNTIL ALL GOODS ARE SOLD 2:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. Favored with instructions from Major Wells and with his co-operation, I will sell at public auction to the citizens of Prince Rupert and district at the SALVATION ARMY HOSTEL (Commonly known as "Sally Ann") Second Avenue, next to Prince Rupert Hotel Contents of the hostel, consisting in part as follows: Complete restaurant equipment, 2 electric radios, office equipment, desks, tables, chairs, 10 chesterfields in red and brown leather, kitchen chairs, odd overstuffed chairs, 1350 sheets, 100 towels, steel cots and other items too numerous to mention. flnaft nn vteur n( UTnvrc ...

There is no need to pauperize any one in this fklf- Canada of ours. There is plenty here for all If we will just put out tin helping hand to the other fellow once In a while. It Is .said that comparisons are odious but sometimes it pays and brings out the truth.

Therefore, let us be wise and redeem the days that are left to us. One man remarked in my hearing: "Why bother with a dying man. Give each one $5 and forget it!" ,Ood will surely repay the same man for that kind of talk someday. The chairman of our committee is J. O. Patrick, who will be furnished with the proper credentials from this local union if he or his committee should wish to make any purchases. We ask for your co-operation. GEO. 8. WEATHERLY, Secretary. Local 180, ILA. Plumbers and Steamfitters. DISTRIBUTINO NYLONS Editor, Dally News, I would like to say a few words in connection with the distribution of nylon hosiery for the benefit of not only myself but also for those who cannot shop every day. Everyone should have a fair chance of one pair and this present card system Is wholly inadequate. Regardless of .the fact that cards are issued, even at unspecified times, no record ls kept of the purchaser. There are those who at present have six or seven pairs while others have found it Impossible to even buy one pair of service weight hose without a card. Jf all the distributors were to employ the far more satisfying method, of writing down names and having them checked off by numbers, as and wen the purchases are made, this, I be-Jleve, might help to eliminate hoarding, A HOUSEWIFE. : f 5 MARY'S WAY, OR JUDAS? Dy REV. T. B. WETMORE, Pastor, First Baptist Church "Matt. 26. 7-8. There came unto Him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment and poured It on His head as he sat at meat. And when Ills disciples saw It they had Indignation, saying to what purpose is this waste, this could have been sold for much and given to the poor." Such was the scene in the lives of those gathered around Christ in the past. Some responded to Heaven-born impulses, to glorify Christ and, in trying to do so, they themselves received undying glory, some denied to be in, turn denied. Some were ruled by the spirit, and some ruled by the flesh, some to win and somef to fail. The background of this story Hotel Menus May 3e Simple Again REGINA 0 Some of those fancy names on hotel menus arc going to be simplified if Ernest J. Eetll, catering supervisor of the Canadian Pacific Railway has his way. But he adds quickly it won't be practical or even passible to eliminate them entirely because the language of food is a world-wide language. Potage Parmentier might quite well become Just plain potato soup on menus of the future while Giget D'Agneau Bretonne leg of lamb with baked beans may become Just Leg of Lainb Breton Style and Oetes De Oeu Rtties may be just plain Roast Prime Rirw of Beef. However, he said, many or the high-sounding names would be too lengthy for menus In Anglicized form. And besides, what of the European tourist who won't be familiar with the Anglicized form. Something he will recognize will have to be left on the menus. Is the death of Lazarus. There was only One that ever changed the course of death. But He had come too late. Lazarus was dead and burled four days and the tomb sealed with a great stone. The Lord came and did something greater than stop death. He undid all that death had done, a forecast for those who take Jesus as their Savior and Lord. That In like manner will He do for all who have loved and lost awhile. Oh that cold, defiant grave in Bethany! Jesus stood, He wept, He prayed, He spoke. And wherever Lazarus was, however far dissolution had advanced in the mortal body, however strong the power that holds those who have passed hence, all such was not beyond the sound and sway of that voice which said "Lazer-us Come Forth." The same that one day will call again "And all that are In the grave shall hear Ills Voice and shall come forth." It was great revelations like these that filled Mary's heart as they met that day in the house of Simon, the leper, who had been healed and Lazarus there brought back from the dead. As her own soul rejoiced in such a Savior, Mary realized that nothing could equal what Jesus meant to all mankind. What was anything in comparison and, looking on all the evjdwlcfi Of Christ's, available for all "mankind and He Tight there one of the number. Mary let her heart speak. She let conviction live. And we have passed down to us this bit of a heart's response to Christ that makes a real union with Him possible. Using this story as a comparison. Notice what Christ plans to mean to us and what our attitude toward Him should be. It Is His best and all as wc give Him our best and all. Uncalculatlng response to Christ was Mary's attitude as great heavenly Impulses swept her soul. This is the way every soul finds Christ, The sailor does not wait for the wind to blow from a certain quarter. He launches his boat and sail to the breeze that blows. It's the set of the sail, not the course of the gale that determines the way wc go. "So Is every one born of the Spirit" and "Born again," This act. Of Mary's was not needed by Christ as much as it was needed to be done by Mary. Mary and all of us need to let our souls respond in a similar way. If Mary had acted on the of others how different her future would have been? The world would not have her , inspiring example of the way to fellowship with Christ. Mary would never have gained that higher spiritual life Into which she had Just entered. The ointment would have been idle, or put to a meaner use. Jesus would go and that oppdrtunity pass. I think she would despise the treasure when she would remember the use it might have been put to. So it Is with us all convictions not followed die; Impulses suppressed do not rise so high again. Love unexpressed perishes. How much we need to answer when He calls! MOTT ELECTRIC (Prince Ilupert) LIMITED ELECTRICAL CONTRACTORS Commercial - Industrial Marine Electricians Home Wiring and Repairs Phone Black .M17 230 Second Avenue West A young man said to Jesus, Lord I will follow you. But first let me go to bury my father." Jesus said, "No, follow me first. Because, if you start putting anything first before Me, yoq will keep on always finding something more that you want to do first and no man ever follows Christ unless he puts Christ first. Such is our peculiar construction Christ knows us, takes the only way that ls left whereby we may be with Him. Notfee the reverse attitude and where it leads! The unconstrained, the criticizing, accusing Judas. Jesus had appealed to this man but all the time His Lord became less and less and his selfish heart more and more. At first Judas trying to cover up his inner life by pretending he was anxious- for the poor. Later at the Last Supper he wa: told of his evil and he went out unchanged. Again in the garden, as he came to betray his Lord, Jesus said: "Friend, why have you come?" still holding such a one in the circle of His friends and even this failed. I have Mary who answered the appealing call of Christ and Judas who began refusing and .unconstrained moved in the opposite way. How far apart they are at the last. How small decisions with Christ lead to tremendous conclusions. It is finally Mary's way as with the precious ointment, or the Judas way with the thirty pieces of silver. If life and our best Is dedicated to Christ, He will invest that life as we never could. I will associate this gift of Mary's with the body that will defeat sin and death. Jesus said He would give this act a place In the world-wide gospel and more I will give her Myself all this Judas missed. 0 tuny 0, ?r..vlSe" "1 a church,.,,. nt io.ih - "unaaifci Holy CommumonTjW .-.h0-School iaV 6th Ave E. it v,..'
