Thursday, August 10, 1944 EDITORIAL STEPS TO NEW ERA ation among centres of Central and Northern British Columbia, William Watts urges that with the opening of the Skeena Highway and a closer link with communities east to Prince George, it is now time for boards of trade along the C.N.R. line to meet in convention to discuss common problems and decide on a broad system to assist in the promotion and development of this country. The Daily News supports this view heartily as it has already advocated, that the newly-established highway celebration committees in towns along the railway line to be maintained indefinitely to co-operate in a one-for-all and an all-for-one policy to hasten the prosperity and development of the entire North-central section of British Columbia. Mere enthusiasm for this country is not sufficient, however. ; A Rotarian at luncheon recently brought up sharply two men who were generalizing on the great benefits that would come to Prince Rupert as a re sult of the new highway. While not a pessimist, he threw cold water on the unbridled enthusiasm and optimistic views of the others. He .cited what Prince Rupert could expect without much effort when peace returned. While open to conviction, he could not be hurried into over enthusiasm about the picture. His sobering arguments made it clearly evident that a united body, representing all districts in thi3 Northland must be formed immediately to determine what we have here, what we can develop, how it can be done and to lay a framework of steps up which we can all climb to a new era for this potentially wealthy land.

POLISH CHILDREN BECOMING STOICS The courage and resolution with which the persecuted people of Poland face life in that i unhappy country is illustrated In an article by a well known member of the underground reprinted In ' Poland Fights " "One day In the autumn of 1943 I had occasion to travel on a Warsaw street car. On a nearby bench sat a young woman wearing widow's weeds and accompanied by her blond live-year-old daughter. At one of the stops another woman entered the street car with her four-year-old son. In the struggle to get onto the rear platform tthe front of the car being re served for Germans only) tne boy hurt himself and began to cry. My neighbor in black took her small daughter on her lap A strong advocate for greater unity and co-oper- tto make room for the other wo son on her knee. The little girl looked quietly at the boy and then said to him gravely 'Polish children do not cry.' "Silence fell upon the street car. The mother of the girl blushed with pride, the little boy stopped crying and the little girl explained 'So I was taught by my mother when my daddy was killed."

CANADA Is able to supply only 15 of her own petroleum needs. The balance must come from the common pool of the United Nations. Seventeen gallons of every twenty used by this couotry must be imported in the form of crude oil from this barely-adequate petroleum products pool. Six gallons of every ten mutt be shipped to us by ocean tanker at the risk of men's lives, at the risk of preciour ships. Today, with great military campaigns in full swing in Europe, in the Pacific, in Asia every possible tanker is needed to keep up the pressure of attack by the Allied fighting forces. Every drop of this "fighting" gasoline and fuel oil must be carried vast distances across dangerous seas. Tankers must travel slowly in convoy; they must travel circuitous routes; they must return over thousands of miles of submarine-in&stl oceans, empty. Today, war is making insatiable demands upon the crude oil resources and transportation facilities of this hemisphere. Here in Canada we dare not ask for quantities of petroleum. NO. 6 OF A SERIES OF ANNOUNCEMENTS ISSUED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF MUNITIONS AND SUPPLY, HONOURABLE C. D. HOWE, MINISTER beyond our bare, essential needs. We cannot justifiably atk for more than we are using now. This is why gasoline stocks on hand in Canada, as of March 31st, this year, were 55,000,000 gallons less than at the start of rationing on April 1st, 1912. From Canada's total ration must come all the needs of the Dominion's armed services at home, all the needs of our war industry, of agriculture, and of essential transportation. It is not surprising that little is left for other civilian use for our motor cars and trucks. Keep these facts before you at all times. Remind yourself that every gallon we can do without means just that much more for the Allied fighting forces that it means the re lease ot vital tanker transportation to move Victory gasoline and fuel oil to the battlefronts of the world. rWFlj Answering YOUR QUESTIONS about the GASOLINE SHORTAGE Who supplied tbe gasoline for the building of the Alaska Highway? . . .
