Friday, September 1, 1944 EDITORIAL DOUBLE VICTORY The Federal member for West Kootenay is W. K. Esling. Ostensibly he is a Conservative, but his political supporters are not confined to that party. Died - in - the - wool Conservatives, enthusiastic C.C.P. supporters, Labor Progressives and Independents are as keen in their support of Billy Esling as any Liberal. It is not the Liberal party that returns Esling time after time, it is the unofficial Esling party. Political political differences are forgotten in the major pro- are without number. That spirit of common purpose should be the objective of all communities from here to the Alberta boundary. When McBride, Prince George, Vander-hoof, the Lakes country, Smithers, the Hazeltons, Terrace and intervening points seek something for their districts we in Prince Rupert should consider its merits. If that something, be it road, provincial worthy of support, then Prince Rupert should hasten to support it. Let the attitude be: If Terrace needs it and should have it, then Prince Rupert wants them to have it. That which helps even the smallest of the communities in Central B.C. helps the entire country in some degree. As the country east of here prospers, so win i'nnce Kupert. At every opportunity let's champion their jiause and thereby our own. PREVENTATIVE MEDICINE Superstition with which vaccination has loner been regarded by many and strong opposition to immunization efforts are fast diminishine in Canada, but thejiight against ' communicable disease is far from won - In many sections of the country where opposition to preventative medicine has- eased, deadly apathy has moved in. September 10 to 16 will be annual National Immunization Week, sponsored by the Health League of Canada. It is intended to direct attention of parents to the dangers of preventable communicable diseases such as whooping cough, diphtheria, scarlet fever and smallpox, which yearly take a toll of hun-drers of young Canadian lives. When we wish a house built we go to the men who specialize in house construction and abide by their judgment. We do not hesitate in taking the word of the electrical engineers or acting on the vice of our lawyers. We know they are trained in their lines and, if conscientious and scrupulous, will act in our best interests. Our doctors are specialists in health. They strongly advocate vaccination rnd inoculation. Then why should the public hesitate? Surely they should follow the advice of trained men on matters concerning the health and lives of their children and loved ones. twyon lov.l mowy whit b.4 finm tobU bwn o4 fow.k. A twMi of tlu.
