Something
to
Be
Expected
.
.
.
Serious
internal
disorders
such
as
tlioro
reported
from
Greece
and
Itel-L'imn
following
the
liberation
of
these
omilrk's
heed
not
be
the
cause
of
too
much
alarm.
In
fact
they
are
inevi-l.il'Ie.
It
would
have
been
but
wishful
I
hi
tiking
to
expect
that
all
the
Allies
iad
to
do
was
to
march
into
the
coun-:rWs
which
had
been
under
the
Nazi
yoke
those
several
years
and
that
all
would
be
peaceful
and
serene.
Trouble-pome
influences
had
for
years
before
the
war
been
gaining
a
foothold
in
t.hpse
various
European
countries
and
did
not
much
to
facilitate
the
Nazis
jn
subjugating
them
for
the
time
bing.
Fifth
columnists
of
various
kinds
were
bound
to
remain.
Disagreeable
internal
conditions
may
indeed
be
anticipated
in
country
after
country
as
they
are
liberated.
It,
will
probably
take
years
of
effort
but
it
is
to
be
hoped
that
a
minimum
of
(outside)
force
will
have
to
be
exercized
to
keep
order
and
control
in
the
freed
countries.
There
will
be
trying
problems
and
situations
along
this
line
for
many
a
day,
it
is
to
be
reasonably
supposed.
The
final
military
victory
in
the
war
will
be
a
fine
thing
but
it
will
not
by
any
means
finish
the
job.
Last
Long
Mile
.
.
.
Recent
headlines
should
have
a
sobering
effect
on
those
whose
hopes
had
soared
to
too
dizzy
heights
after
the
great
naval
victory
in
Philippine
waters.
Japanese
defenders
on
Leyte
are
reinforced
to
the
extent
that
units,
at
least,
of
five
divisions
are
now
in
action.
The
enemy
shows
signs
of
striking
back
in
the
Pacific
islands.
:
Stiffened
resistance
to
Allied
arms
is:
reported
from
the
Burma
theatre.
And,
most
serious
of
all
have
been
the
reverses
in
South
China.
Except,
perhaps,
for
the
reverses
in
China,
these
events
do
not
mean
PAGE
TWO
that
the
war
against
Japan
is
going
counter
to
the
calculations
of
the
Allied
command;
much
of
it
is
probably
ahead
of
schedule.
Rut
it
is
another
reminder
that
the
last
mile
is
still
the
long
one.
Keep
It
Clean
.
.
.
We
are
about
to
start
upon
an
election
campaign
which,
though
short,
gives
promise
of
being
snappy.
Full
and
free
discussion
of
civic
issues
along
clean
and
healthy
lines
is
much
to
be
desired.
It
is
to
be
hoped
that
statements
will
be
kept
within
bounds
and
that
no
bitterness
will
develop
to
hamper
everybody
getting
together
after
the
campaign
is
over
next
week
to
work
for
the
betterment
of
the
city.
The
newspapers,
in
their
advertising
and
news
columns,
will
be
only
too
glad
to
give
vent
to
healthy
exposition
and
discussion
of
the
issues
but
we
may
naturally
be
expected
to
draw
a
line
should
the
campaign
develop
to
a
point
of
undue
factional
or
personal
recrimination.
Sometimes,
in
heat
or
enthusiasm,
statements
are
made
that
.may
later
be
regretted.
Bread

Beer
,
Brewers
who
have
been
insulting
the
intelligence
of
those
who
knew
better,
and
possibly
fooling
others
who
didn't,
with
their
billboards,
newspaper,
and
streetcar
ads
declaring
"beer
is
comparable
to
or
the
equivalent
of
bread
in
nutritional
value,"
must
stop
the
mendacious
practice,
says
the
Christian
Science
Monitor.
Uncle
Sain,
says
it
isn't
so.
Specifically,
the
Federal
Trade
Commission
has
handed
down
the
ruling
in
the
case
of
the
Minnesota
Brewers'
Association,
and
its
13
members
have
agreed
to
desist.
Bread
has
more
nutritional
value
than
beer
any
day,
says
Uncle
Sam.
To
quote
the
Commission:
It
is
necessary
to
ingest
relatively
large
amounts
of
beer
to
obtain
the
nutrients
and
calories
obtained
by
what
.
would,
to
a
working
man
be
a
relatively
small
amount
of
white
bread."

it.

"PRINCE

FAVORED
NAME
Subject
to
confirmation
by
an
expression
of
opinion
from
the
Associated
Boards
of
Trade
of
Central
British
Columbia,
the
publicity
committee
of
the
Prince
Rupert
Chamber
of
Commerce,
in
a
report
to
the
Chamber
at
Monday
night's
piecting,
recorded
itself
as
favoring
retaining
of
the
name
"Prince
Rupert
Highway"
for
the
newly
completed
road
from
the
coast
through
the
central
Interior.
The
fact
that
this
was
the
name
which
was
already
used
for
the
road
by
the
federal
authorities
was
a
factor
in
actuating
th?
recommendation
of
the
committee.

LETTERBOX
THE
BUS
QUESTION
Editor,
Daily
News:
Correspondence
in
your
paper
of
December
5
under
the
heading
"Bus
Deal
Explained"
fails
to
explain
anything
that
will
enable
anyone
to
understand
the
situation
better.,
We
can
assume
that
theirans-
portation
committee
has
conscientiously
made
their
Invesi-gation
and
recommendation
but
what
the
voters
want
to
find
out
before
they
can
vote
Intelligently
Is
briefly
summed
up
in
the
following:
:
1.
We
have
been
led
to
believe
that
borrowing
could
not
be
considered
to
assist
our
present
run-down
utilities.
Just
how
badly
must
these
things
pet
before
something
is
done
to
improve
them?
Or
is
It
smart
;o
take
on
Improving
something
el:;e
because
it
looks
easier?
1
2.
The
pro
and
con
of
municipal
ownership
is
not
the
ques
tion
at
issue.
Municipal
owner-
'
hip
of
utilities
is
a
legitimate
and
laudable
objective
but-
the
result
of
any
.
such
move
.hould
be
Improved
Service.
How
is
it
I
pr
iposed
to
render
Improved
Service?
More
buses
will
relieve
crowding
but
borrowed
money
has
to
be
repaid
and
more
buses
will
not
materially
increase
the
revenue
over
crowded
buses
(a
wartime
condition)
v.4i31e
they
will
Increase
operating
costs.
3.
What
about
depreciation?
It
is
obvious
that
the
buses
have
taken
5
years
of
abuse
in
3
year's
running.
Their
normal
life
with
proper
upkeep
is
rated
at
10
years.
Allowing
the
$10,000
reconditioning
expenditure
they
are
still
only
good
for
another
three
years
on
our
present
road.s.
W
lat
then?
It
looks
like
higher
taxes
in
the
end
and
one
more
run-down
utility
to
encourage
our
citizens
to
move
elsewhere
if
they
can.
i
It
is
not
presumptious
to
state
that
the
committee's
first
Job
It
to
get
our
roads
In
shape
so
a,'
to
encourage
existing
transportation
interests
to
render
lm
pioved
service
which
is
the.
ultimate
objective
of
any
self-
i
respecting
business.
Also
there
are
some
alternatives
that
could
be
tried
before
shouldering
citizens
with
additional
burden
in
these
admittedly
abnormal
times.
'
The
foregoing
are
only
a
few
of
the
pertinent
points
I
would
like
:to
see
cleared
up.
The
voters
should
know
the
answers
and
will
then
be
able
to
decide
what
they
want.
It
is
hardly
fair
on
a
bus
line
for
any
council
to
operate
with
as
few
really
constructive
suggestions
as
have
so
far
appeared.
Thanking
you
for
valuable
