The tender blossom of concord ought to flourish in the relationship between civic authorities and the group of citizens who are organizing themselves into a prospective home owners' association. Many perplexities will beset the latter in their efforts to create a subdivision of modem homes in the city, and not the least of these will be the selection of a site for their community. One of the difficulties that should not be put in the way of these citizens is that of having to purchase their property from speculators who have bought up land in anticipation of a real estate flurry. In this the city could be of great assistance by acting to have unoccupied subdivisions assessed, and stipulating that purchasers of lots in any of the likely sites should be bonafide prospective home builders. When these homes are built, it will be with the assistance of the government's National Housing administration, which is interested in Canada's citizens having good homes, and not in anyone's profits. This is an attitude which, we cannot help but feel, will recommend itself to the city government. A FINE GESTURE . . . A fine gesture on the part of the Prince Rupert Highway Committee was that of donating its sur-; plus funds to the three service bands when it dissolved Tuesday night. The money was meant to be expended in promoting the success of the Terrace celebration, and although it was not spent at the time, it is, in effect, being used for that purpose. Something like 100 bandsmen went to Terrace on Labor Day, and rendered a musical program which did much to increase the holiday atmosphere of the occasion. The donation represents a concrete appreciation of their services. The bands also have given' the public free enjoyment of their open air concerts during the summer, and this too, is a thing that the public will feel glad to express appreciation of. Victory at Sea ... A modest little dispatch from Lisbon tells a big story of victory. For the first time in five years, it says, Portuguese newspapers are publishing notices For practical purposes, the Battle of the Atlan tic has been won. Approaching dangers are often magnified, while those in retreat are hardly noticed. This seems to be tine of the Battle of the Atlantic. Not long ago, when the American coast was dimmed out because of danger lurking within sight of the. shore, headlines, newsreels and radio commentators all stressed the critical threat to the Allied ocean lifeline. But today victory on this ocean battlefield has slipped upon us almost imperceptibly. Despite concentration of popular interest on other fronts recently, this is a victory that has taken tireless, heroic action and sacrifice to win action which probably will be far from unsung in years to come. LETTERBOX TKESS AND CITY COUNCIL Editor, Daily News: The underlying principle or privilege accorded to a free press is not only intended as a bul war k. in defence of our boasted l&erty but is also intended as a j medium qf public expression for our social cultural and economic j well being. Therefore I regret . to say our two daily papers are ' delinquent in their duty to the! city of Prince Rupert, the home ! of their enterprise, as it is rarely indeed that editorial , space is utilized in a constructive criticism in the management and direction of city af fairs. The city Itself is showing 1 the effect as its general appearance resembles something that is-disowned and forgotten. The sidewalk on 5th ave. Is bo worn and rough It requires miner's hobnailed boots to walk , over it and in front of the hos ' pita! one would think he was navigating a ravine in the mountains instead of walking on a city sidewalk. On Hayes Cove ave. where the street is crammed with vehicles and pedestrian traffic at certain , hours, there is no sidewalk at all. And it is seldom when a i ton truck could not be loaded : with rubbish lying on the street on 3rd ave. between 3rd and 7th sts. The grounds.- at the Totem Park opposite Savoy Hotel on Fraser st. have never been cleaned njr the grass, cut smce Commissioner Alder left. In fact the defects in general upkeep are too numerous to mention in detail apart from complete bankruptcy in so far as anything new is concerned. The city sure needs dressing up a bit and U;e children need playgrounds. The thing is to get someone to do It. GEO. B. CASEY.

"Wholesome Food Ends Constipation "Sure, I'm happy about ALL-BRAN.

If your constipation is due to lack of "bulk" in the diet, just eat KELLOGG'S ALL-BRAN regularly, and drink plenty of water. Remember, it's a delicious, wholesome cereal not a medicine.
