An Industrial Opportunity . . . .The British Columbia Veneer Works Ltd., which has operated at Nelson in the southern interior for seventeen years, is closing down its plant there because cottonwood is no longer available in satisfactory supply in that area. Here in this district there is an abundance of cottonwood timber available for veneer manufacture.- We are. crying for the establishment of such industries to ensure the future use of our natural resources. This would appear to be one opportunity which we might be working upon right away. No doubt, there will be other localities in the country angling for the industry . which Nelson is having the misfortune to lose. A New Attitude . . . They have seen so much these young men who are returning these days from the wars on land, on sea and in the air that we feel a little embarrased, possibly a little inferior, realizing that we have been doing and seeing so little while they have been doing and experiencing so much. But we like to listen to their stories. Their first hand yarns are giving us an insight of what they have gone through, what they have seen, what they have done, which we could obtain no other way. Many of them left us as mere boys, three, four or five years ago. Now they come back as mature men' men whose lives in those few years n. t 1:1: 1 is v VfUUIUJ' M I UUlllUll For- more than three generation the Stetson have been fuller in manv wavs than those of us who may be much more mature in the count of time. Nevertheless, the most of them are still modest and unassuming. Some of them seem indeed a little awkward, a little reserved. Their ways in these war years have been different than ours. In many cases, it is a question of getting acquainted all over again with our own boys. War and Travel .... Five years ago, an important event be it a catastrophe or what not might have excited our interest from the standpoint of spectacle. But there was more than that aspect yesterday when we recorded the news of the big explosion at Halifax. To many of our readers here in Prince Rupert there was a direct interest because Halifax is today personally known to those who, in the course of their travels inhe line of war duties, have visited or been posted to that port. Halifax has been one of the concentration places of war. Hundreds of our boys have been posted there for varying lengths of time. Other hundreds have passed through there on numerous occasions. A few years ago there would have been little personal interest on the part of Prince Rupert people in Halifax because sp few of us had ever b,een there and there was little prospect or reason for many of us to be there. But the war of great movement has changed all that. Today, as a result of war, our geographical interest has been vastly widened. It was not so long ago that Vancouver was the only "big city" that most of us knew. Toronto, Montreal, Halifax, St. John's, New York, London, Paris, Rome and, yes, Berlin seemed remote and impersonal. The person who had been there was a, person of unusual interest. Now it. is commonplace to have seen hiany of those places. trade mark has been the Hall-Mark of quality among men who appreciate quality at its best. The same traditional value that has made the name STETSON world-famous, takes on an added significance today, when lasting satisfaction has an important bearing on every purchase.

Edward P. nnnrfrv of Vancouver, vouthful mpmhpr of an old English family of lisnmg net manufacturers, said in art address before thp PHhrp Rupert Rotary Club on Thursday. Speaking' on the subject, "The British EmDire and thp ' Wpvt. Phase of the War," Mr. Quhdry, who served overseas four years as a Canadian staff officer, saw the struggles and sacrifices of Britain as the bulwark which stood firm against the nemy In the dark days of the flehtine In Europe. With the close of the fighting, what was the Empire's future? "It Is of first ImDOrtanre thnt ' we in Canada and in all parts ficatlons for greatness and to realize that this depends on us now- and In the future." 'We must vote lntellieentlv." he said. "We must be definite in our Choices between stnte socialism and capitalism. I am fully convinced that capitalism Is the only system which will produce progress, politically, socially and economically. Tn nro. tect the public from the abuses of capitalism, the government can act. but no government h.n? ever been known to protect the public from Its own muddling inefficiency. 'We must know the differenr-p between right and wrong. One or the characteristics of the British Empire, is its high ethics. The empire has become great as a Christian empire and if we lose that concept we are in danger of 'sliDDlne from our greatness." Britain, which sacrificed an much during the fighting, must De neiped to recover, the speaker said. This can be done by buying British goods, using. British ships, placing Insurance with British firms, and above all, by greater freedom of world trade. The naUons of the commonwealth and empire must play a full part In Empire defence in the future.

KITCHEN IS HEART (Continued from Page 1) stored the washing machine, tubs, food, pots, pans and dishes. Many Canadians take their baths in the kitchen, 8 in urban areas, 36 in non-farm rural areas, and 39 in farm areas. In cities one house in 50 and In rural regions one in 100 even had people sleeping in the kitchen. Surveys of Kitchen Efficiency Here are the survey findings on kitchen efficiency: One in five urban families is still without either Ice or mechanical refrigeration at any season of the year. Two out of five village families and two out of three farm families are in the same plight, yet cooling is as important for some kinds of foods as heating is for. others. One third of all housewives interviewed said their kitchen cupboards were too small. One In seven kitchens must use artificial light even in daytime.

One in 33 urban homes, one In 11 village homes, and more than one In 6 farm homes have no sink. Moreover, many of these listed "sinks" are without drains and so are as much or more work than a moveable pan. This is true of one in 50 urban sinks, one in 13 village sinks, and one in 7 farm sinks. Although half the farm homes surveyed have electric power, six out of seven farmers' wives must cook on wood or coal ranges. Even in cities, where electricity and gas are almost universal, one woman in three living In low and medium-cost houses, cooks with coal or wood. Only 20 of urban housewives, 22 of non-farm rural housewives, and 30 of farm housewives said they were satisfied with their kitchen as it is. When asked to state the one improvement they would make, if they could do only one thing, housewives listed preference which reflected the conditions under which they have to work. What Modern Housewives Want Among urban housewives, for example, these were the four top choices: Kitchen cabinet, cupboards or pantry, 29. .
