E. PARKER LIMITED Imperial Oil Dealer BUY MORE WAR SAVINGS STAMPS Nineteen Hundred and Forty -Five, the year of Victory and of the world-shaking events physically, economically and spiritually, passes into history tonight. Never was there a year when changing world events had such a direct bearing on the aP fairs of this little but ambitious city of Prince Rupert. It was a year which, through the stress and emergency of a war precipitated on our very doorstep, brought us the realization of some of our long-held hopes in the way of physical recognition. And now, as it passes, it finds us a little dazed, a little uncertain but, nonetheless, as hopeful and as confident as ever. Carried along by the 'momentum of a great conflict which required lit'tle effort on our own partrto keep us busy and prosperous, we now find ourselves squarely on our own faced with a new situation which, if we are to progress as we hope, will require more of our t . . . . own resources and our own ingenuity. We are m competition with the world now as a New Yepr dawns. Possibly more than we realize does, it depend upon us ourselves whether the new year of 1946 will commence .to see the fruition ot ome of those permanent and lasting aims which we have so long cherished. War brought us recognition as :"Canada's Most Strategic iafitic Coast ; port. The coming years of peace will see. whether, with all our advantages and our opportunities, we shall advance as such. t 4f. there is one lesson that 1945 should have taught us and which it is to be hoped we shall apply in 194G and the years to come it is the nec-GSSf y .

In a government that would unify China, In a New Year message to the Chinese people he announced that the government is ready to invite leaders of- other parties "to take part in the government either in policy-making councils or executive branches."
