Through five years of war the. press ' of Canada has helped the British Com-; monwealth, in the broad political sense, by placing before the nation an impartial report of the war effort of the British peoples. Now it' is ready to carry that same assistance into the post-war period and , help in the economic sense us. well. Canada is a growing country and a big potential market for Empire goods, and the press will help to sell tjiem. Quite aside from sales of goods' dir-ootiv fvnm nairi advertising, Canadian newspapers indirectly build up markets through their emphasis on Empire news. l f The newspapers, published as they are in one of the world's top newsprint- f producing countries, have suffered less than most from war-time space restrictions. The war; exploits of Canadian servicemen naturally take top billing, but the Army did not really get into action until the 1013 invasion of Sicily. And it has been said that the Dominion's newspapers receive the best-balanced news service in the world. While no accurate survey has been made, it seems probable that the larger dailies in Canada have devoted more ' space to the operations of British forces than British, papers themselves have been able to give. There have' ' been criticising that , Americans have no clear conception of ! the part played by the British Com-' monwealth in the war. The suggestion has never been made about Canadians. Interest in Commonwealth affairs has increased, rather than lessened, with Canada's emergence as a western power in her own right. Canadian newspapers are spending move money than ever to keep their readers posted on what happens in Britain and the Empire. They will spend more money for Commonwealth coverage after the war than they did befpre hostilities began. The British press hails the Russian offensive as the greatest display of military power ever seen, and the Manchester Guardian says, "If the Red Army's momentum carries it through into Germany in this tremendous rush we may see the end of the war far sooner than any of us believed possible barely seven days ago." The Times of London says Germany fn "mom immediate menace than it had seen since Allied troops surged toward the German frontier in the west last September. "Evidence of this judgment is not to be found in the Russian announcements," it added, "but in the cries of distress which have been wrung from the enemy himself." World Almanac Out . . . The World Almanac and Book of Facts for 19-15 observes its diamond jubilee by appearing for the first time in its 00 years of publication without advertising. The paper shortage has pin-fnilod sunnlies and to maintain its high coverage the Almanac has eliminated advertising. During these busy and eventful days there are many things people want to know. There are many reference books but few readily available at all times. The World Almanac is one of the most used and useful reference books on the market. A Meeting to Attend . . . People who are interested in the work of the Canadian Red Cross (and who is not?) would do well to evince that interest and their support by attending the annual meeting of the local TCnd Cross branch tonicht. Faithful workers of the Red Cross have been well upholding the wartime function of tjie organization here for the past six years although much of the time their job has seemed a thankless one with little in the way of public recognition or appreciation, it would oe very encouraging for them jf there was, as there should be, a large attendance tonight to hear interesting reports of the past year's work and elect who is to carry on for another season. We need not remind the public of the outstanding importance of the work of the Red Cross in times of war and national disaster. 73 m pWNc(p1 "nt fS re on fhe r rePre- inn.

Mr. Mlchlel reviewed the course of school events since the last annual meeting In oraer that the reason for borrowing additional funds at this time of year would be perfectly understood by those present. It ap peared that, due to war con-1 Iditions, the amount budgeted1 jhad proved Insufficient to meet the needs. The Board would need $1000 more to carry them through to the end of next summer. The Board was asked the cost of installing a water and sanitary system In the school. The exact cost was not known but it was explained that, If such a system were Installed, the government would pay one-fifth of the cost. One of the ratepayers stated that he was in favor of increasing the grant to $2000 or more to allow for the installation of a sanitary system. Another stated that perhaps, since ,more classroom accommodation would be needed In the future, It might be advisable to wait and see if some of the army buildings, which are already equipped with these facilities, and many others could not be procured. Still another stated be made modern at the earliest opportunity. The cost of installing a sanitary system were for the backing they had received since they became School Board members.

It was finally decided that the School Board should borrow the $1000 needed for necessary expenses and also make full enquiries into the cost of an adequate sanitary system for the school. At some date in the near future, when such information should be ready, the Board was asked to call a meeting to discuss the matter. Before the meeting adjourned, Mr. Lambly and Mr. Mlchlel tHanked those present For the victory gardener who has a basement window with southern exposure, it is possible to build a practical hot-bed which Is more easily vatched, aired and watered than the standard type. In front of the window make a shallow excavation, about a foot deep. The size must be figured carefully so that a frame set in this excavation can be covered by window or hot-bed sash. As In the case of other hot-beds, a glass substitute may be used on the sash, if desired. Build a frame to fit the exca- vatlon. The side must slant" sharnly from a point above the window, almost to the ground. Fit the sash on this frame, using hlnres at the top so the sash may easily be raised for ventila tion. Earth may be manicea around the frame to keep out the ro d: and tne s ues snoum De as tight as possible to keep out the wind. The frame may have to bo caulked where It Joins the founf datlon to prevent drafts, other wise it Is built like the garden type, using a standard or odd size sash as you prefer. Teat is supplied to this bed by opening the basement window, and allowing the .heated basement air to enter the bed, The window Is left open at night, and MICKLEBURGH STATEMENT Comments on iMackenjie Kine Announcement of Klectlon "Patriotic Canadians will view with deep regret the fact that I at this, crucial hour In the Euro-nean war It has become necessary for Prime Minister King to state that an election date will be announced prior to April 17," com mented Bruce Mlckleburgh, Labor-Progressive candidate for Skeena riding, on receipt of news of Mr. King's statement.
