The taxi service in Prince Rupert for many months now has been quite exasperating possibly not because it is really so bad but because we were accustomed to such a good service before. We had never been used to shortage of taxis in this city and that the taxi people, through restrictions on rubber and gasoline and by reason of the shortage of drivers, are unable to keep up the service, we are impatient when we cannot get a car at a minute's notice like we once did. There is, no doubt, room for complaint at the service. But the operators themselves have then-difficulties which we must admit. Like other businesses in Prince Rupert, there has not been the taxi set-up for a city which has so greatly increased in population and where the spending power is so much greater than it used to be. It would seem, however, that, if the city and the operators could get together, some plan ought to be worked out whereby a more regular, dependable and efficient service could be made available; than is at present afforded. .. Wendell Willkie . Here in Canada, where we are not so much interested in American politics as in the sentiments that are felt towards war co-operation with us by the leaders on the other side, we naturally may feel disappointed at the decision of Wendell Willkie to withdraw from the race. It had been said that Wisconsin would reflect the nation and Willkie accepted the adverse verdict by retiring. If Wendell Willkie ever had a serious chance capture the Republican presidential nomination, washed himself out completely by his campaign Wisconsin. Newsmen reported that' the candidate spent per cent of his time lambasting the Republican party and only 25 per cent in ures of the rew Deal Administration. Not only did Willkie read the prewar isolationist out of the party but also those who did not go along with him all the way on his approach to postwar domestic solutions. No one on this side of the line questions the sincerity of this popular figure who ranks second only to President Roosevelt in popular ity with us. Give Him a Medal ... If Winston's "learned &p. Thursday, April 6, 1944 to he in 75 assailing the domestic fail sock be on" at performances! in the House of Commons there is no danger of too many British war medals says the Christian Science Monitor. Only a nation without a sense of humor could have created the eighty-odd decorations bestowed by the Germans during the first World War. The Iron Cross, as Mr. Churchill pointed out in the Commons debate, could have meant little to any one except Herr Hitler "who, it is alleged, gave it to himself some time later." It took simply the "quips and cranks" of the witty Prime Minister to check the solemn consideration of a proposal to "expand, inflate and dilute the currency" of war honors by extending the first two overseas campaign medals to home forces such as ground crews, balloonists, fireman, and policemen. With possibly 16,000,000 Britons thus bemedaled, the London musical comedy stage could no longer poke fun at the GI who explained that one of his medals was for "the New York World's Fair of 1939." And everybody who has visited the bouquinistes along the banks of the Seine, or bought coins and stamps in the little shops just off the Strand, knows what happens eventually to a large proportion of the world's medals, including those awarded for a record hundred-yard dash or writing a nursery rhyme, or canning gooseberries, or producing prize cucumbers, as well as those given for genuine heroism in battle. Decorations for outstanding deeds of valor will preserve their meaning better under restricted and discriminating bestowal. n fh. - - HHaHHHMRSfrSifAHHSflL and grown-ups who love Neilson's Jersey Milk Chocolate, will love Neilson's famous Chocolate Cocoa too! 1 lb. 29c, lb. 19c ACTIVITIES OF Y.M.CA. and Y.W.C..A.

Individuals and corporations will have a fair amount of savings to permit more spending and more production. They will have war savings certificates, bonds, cash in the bank, and claims for a refund of certain income tax or profits .axi payments. The spending ot these savings will stimulate business and may even, for awhile, se: off an unhealthy boom. 4. Certain kinds of private spending will probably be encouraged and perhaps subsidized ( by the government. The best example of this is housing Much of the existing housing accommodation in Canada is inadequate and unsatisfactory, and the number of houses available is far short of what is needed. Governments everywhere recognize thai decent housing should be available to all, and that it should be made easy for people to own houses or to rent god accommodation cheaply. Canada started to encourage home building before the war. and can do much more to stimulate building subsidies, low interest rates on mottgages, etc. after the war. The Jobs created by a housing programme could absorb teas of thousands of people employment directly, and many more indirectly. 5.
