EDITORIAL
WAR
STAMP
MOVE
Organized
by
the
"Sen
Going
Hackfe,"
the
association
of
drug
travellers,
under
chairmanship
of
Ben
Franklin
of
Vancouver
and
supported
by
the
drug
wholesalers
and
manufacturers,
the
retail
druggists
of
British
Columbia
and
the
Yukon
will
devote
their
merchandising
skill
during
September
to
the
sale
of
War
Savings
Stamps.
The
coming
drive
will
be
the
third
annual
national
campaign
sponsored
by
the
druggists.
In-
both
previous
contests,
British
Columbia-Yukon
druggists
led
the
entire
nation,
both
in
stamp
sales
per
capita
and
in
percentage
of
quota
exceeded.
Last-September,
with
a
quota
of
$21,000,
the
drug
trade
here
rang
up
sales
of
$100,024
or
476
per
cent
of
their
quota,
far
outstripping-
their
nearest
competitors,
the
Ontario
druggists.
During
the
coming
drive,
the
druggists
in
B.C.Yukon
have
been
given
an
assignment
of
supplying
our
armed
forces
with
60,000
20
ram
shells
which
cost
$1
or
four
War
Savings
Stamps
per
round.
In
addition,
they
will
endeavor
to
secure
pledges-from
their
customers
sufficient
to
provide
a'
similar
number
of
these
shells
every
month
of
the
year.
As
the
20
mm
cannons
are
used
by
all
the
three
services,
these
shells
will
be
used
in
enormous
quantities
during
the
present
"knock-out"
phase
of
the-war.
In
view
of
their
past
record,
druggists
anticipate
little
difficulty
in
achieving
their
quota,
and
will
make
their
real
objective
the
leadership
of
Canada
f
6r
the
third
straight
time.
Already
druggists
in
most
of
the
centres
of
B.C.Yukon
are
laying
promotional
plans
ta
make
War
Savings
Stamps
their
best-selling
line
during
September.
The
chief
feature
of
the
campaign
here
will
be
a
province-wide
drawing.
Purchasers
of
stamps
through
drug
stores
will
be
given
free
tickets
en
titling
them
to
chances
on
many
valuable
prizes
of
nard-to-get
merchandise.

PRESERVE
OUR
ROADS
Editor,
Daily
News:
At-
long
last
w
have
a
stretch
of
road
In
our
fair
city
that
at
present
approaches
almost
to
the
point
of
perfection
and
ah
through
the
good
work
of
our
boys
In
Air
Force
Blue
to
whom
we
tender
our
thanks.
To-
reverse-
the
metaphor,
all
silver
clouds
have
a
dark
lining
and
this
perfect
piece
of
road
(on
which
there
are
no
sidewalks)
may
or
has
developed
into
an
automobile
speedway
unless
supervised.
Early
on
Sunday
morning,
the
writer
on
his
way
to
Seal
Cove
saw
a
car
which
had
gone
off
the
roadway
and
made
a
complete
somersault
and
landed
right
side
up
some
eight
feet
below
the
level
of
the
road,
on
returning
In
the
afternoon,
the
car
had
been
pulled
out,
but
the
car'
(or
truck)
which
had
pulled
it
out
had
left
its
.mark
In
the
sthape
of
two
or
three
large
holes
In
the
new
highway
in
their
efforts
to
re-road
the
ditched
car.
It
would
please
the
writer
and
also
I
believe
the
boys
who
worked
on
this
road,
If
the
culprit
could
be
forced
to
fill
in
these
holes
with
only
a
pile
of
gravel,
a
pall
of
asphalt
and
a
tablespoon
for
a
tool
and
he
would
appreciate
all
the
more
what
good
roads
properly
used
mean
to
a
community.
Yours
very
truly.

Is

and
last

city
council
wondered
what
could
be
done
about
it.
Alderman
Brett,
head
of
the

said
that
complaints
have
been
"pouring

"I
would
like
to
know
how
much

has
in

he
said.
Alderman
Hills
was
doubtful
if
the
city
had
any
authority
over

vehicles.
The
international
agreement
giving
United

authorities
power

leaves
us
none,"
he
asserted.
The
drivers
have
orders
from
their
officers
restrletlns
their
speeds,
but
they
drive
at
excessive
speeds
anyway."
Alderman
Black
thought
police
should
stop
the
drivers
and
then
lay
complaints
before
the
army.
"If
the
police
present
them
with
evidence
of

driving
they
cannot
very
well
disregard
It,"
he
told
