Experience has enlarged his capacity to meet new problems with new and courageous, solutions. To maintain Canada in the high place our country has attained ln a world in which great change is inevitable, leadership in which vision is combined with experience will be needed.

The C.C.F. policy in the last flva years has been solely to advance its party strength, Major Harvey charged. "During line last five years when the major issue was to bring the war to a successful conclusion, most of the parties declared a political truce leaving politics until after the war. However, the C.C.F. followed an avowed policy of advancing their own party interests. That is the sum of C.CJ. contribution to the war, and what can be expected of it during the peace?" lie asked. In the present campaign, the speaker said, the Labor-Progres-H sivs party has only a nuisance value to all but the Liberals. Speak.-.ifc un development in northwestern B.C., Major Harvey reiterated John Bracken's pledge for an outlet from the Peace River to Prince Rupert, and charged that the Liberal party had done nothing to fulfill the dream of Sir Wilfrid Laurier .who planned a great empire. "Laurier had great vision, but I have seen little dene by the Liberals since to expand that vision. New Westminster has been promised a. new dry dock by Mr. Howe, while Prince Rupert has a dry dock which was almost Idle for years before the war." Mrs. Rolston Is Heard Claims by the Liberal party that it had experienced leaders which other parties lacked were scored toy Mrs. T. J.

The possibility of seme of the schools returning to oil heating was made but It was pointed out that considerable money had, boon spent In installing iron firemen for coal. The whole questions was deferred for further consideration. Meantime, the coal bins of the schools will be kept well filled. Halibut Sales American (15c and 132c) Masonic, 64,000. Whiz and Royal.

An organization known as the Noith American Indian Brdlher- hood already exists, having !een formed: at Vancouver lasts year with Andrew Paul of trTSJIdty as its president. Indian provincial organizations are beiogl developed In the western provinces, and Indians ray me expectation Is that the brotherhood eventually will be expanded to Include all the other associations. Seme Saskatchewan Indian bands already have vc ted to associate themselves with the brotheihocd. A major problem in organization, said Tqotoosl3, is found In the different languages spoken by Indians across Canada. The common tongue probably will be English, but Tootoosis said that some of his reports on his tour to be presented by 'him 'to Saskatchewan bands will be written in Crce.
