D. ment will British Columbia Have if its people are sensible? Politicians despite many rumors and a few instances to the contrary arepractical people. Our politicians now, by the color and complexion of their election campaigns, are telling us at least what they think we want. . . They are backing their candidacies with,, their own conviction that we,' or a majority of us, really want the program and policy which they are proposing. There is nothing wrong with that. Quite the contrary, there is every TRY OUR CLASSIFIED ADS THEY GET RESULTS thing right with it in the pursuance Pattullo decided to go it alone and of our system of democratic self run'as an independent, committed to eovernment. no party or organization and free to . It is the belief and conviction of actjas he sees fit without fear or ob ligation, yet the issue between the candidates is quite as distinct as in any other riding in the province. There are the C.C.F. and Labor-Progressive candidates, both espousing the? principles of socialism and both tied up to organizations which quite evidently insist, if they are to remain under their aegis, on a very substantial measure of control over thejr actions and utterances. Then there is Mr. Pattullo, still advocating frek enterprise and the only candidate who, evidently committed to no grojup, is certainly not sold on the idej of socialism or regimentation. terraneous considerations may have entered into the current campaign in Prince Rupert but the general issue is clear enough and, for votprs of conviction and we do pride ourselves upon having convictions based on some measure of intelligent considerations, there would appear to be just as good reason here as anywhere else to be active and enthusiastic. Actually,, the issue between principle of Coalition and Socialism are: just as sharply defined here as anywhere. tWhat happens in Prince Rupert on '.October 25- will be quite as important to the future conduct of affairs provincially and locally as in antf other of the seats which vote that day. Those who might be inclined, for! some reason.or another, to be indifferent mighttbear" tha In -mind. i You By Your Vote ... Vhat sort of government do the people of British Columbia want?

They believe, these coalition candidates, that the people of British Columbia, as to the majority of them, favor a moderate, unrevolutionary, progressive, honest and competent administration of the province. The people, by their votes, are to' say whether they are right. Lifting Prince Rupert's Face . . . As we move to publicize Prince Rupert more widely in the endeavor to attract increasing number of visitors to the city, we would de well to remember that we are assuming thereby the obligation of making the place interesting, and impressive to the visitors who will come. We might as well face the fact that Prince Rupert during these recent years of war has become anything but attractive. In fact it has become run down and dilapidated and that down-at-heel appearance and dilapidation is to be noted very much in the streets and public property. The time has come when something will have to be done about raising the face of this community and the municipality itself will have to take the lead in the, matter. We have paid, before and we repeat it nov that, if 'the civic responsibility is accepted and something really done about it, the citizens themselves may be counted upon to match the effort in the improvement and beautification of their ties. Meantime a dilapidated and broken-down street is not a very attractive, setting for even the most beautiful of garden properties. rpd and blue. Two pockets.

With ladles of the Women's Auxiliary of the Navy League of Canada, who had ac tively assisted in connection with the operation of the club, as honored guests, there was a large attendance. After the showing of a moving picture, Supervisor A. E. Tutte took the floor and, in a brief speech, reviewed the activities of the club Which had registered in Its brief history no less than 21,215 visitors from the ships of many nations, had shown movleit to 4,565 persons, served 8,329 at the canteen and provided letter writing facilities for 2,916. Sup ervisor Tutte confessed that there had been a lot of work but there had also been a lot of pleasure. It was his desire to extend personal thanks to all who' had in any way assisted in the work. He presented two framrd photographs of club scenes to the ladies, Mrs, C. H Elklns and Mrs. A. L. Holtby be ing called forward to receive them. Major John Steele of Vancou ver, area supervisor of Salvation Army War Services, referred to the contribution the club, had given in the sustaining of the morale of men of. the sea who had visited Prince Rupert. He was deeply appreciative of the Says "Monty" CANUCKS POOR SOLDIERS BUT GREAT FIGHTERS "You Canadians are hot much as soldiers but you have great qualities as fighters!" Hearing these words-from the Hps of Field Marshal Sir Bernard L. Montgomery in Sicily was one of the greatest thrills in the four-year military career of Pte. James Colussl who returned last week from overseas. "Monty," Pte. Colussl said, "shattered the parade ground stiffness of the Canadian troops whom he was inspecting by standing up in his car and shout ing 'Gather round, men.' " There followed one of those Informal discussions between the army commander and his men which made Field Marshal Montgomery one of the war's most beloved field commanders. Pte. Colussl landed In Sicily in June, 1943 with the Royal Canadian Army Service Corps, attached to the Canadian First Division and was still with It almost two years later at Nijme-gaen. Holland, when the war ended. During that interval the Canadians with the British Eighth Army fought their way along the Italian boot to RUssi, near Ravenna in Northern Italy, when they were abruptly sent to the western front last March. The Journey across France was one of the most pleasant experiences he had. 'We sailed from Leghorn on an American troopship and land ed at Marseilles. No one knew where we were going,; so it had the' quality of an adventure. We travelled in our trucks across France, through Luxembourg to Brussels." As the Canadian First Division passed through the French countryside the people of tHe towns- and villages acclaimed them wildly; although they were not supposed to know who the Canadians were. "The whole operation was supposed to be secret and wei were not allowed to speak or give cigarettes to the Frenchmen. However, they knew who we were," Pte. Colussl said. Other outstanding experiences of his overseas service was an Vudlence with Pope Phis Xli In the Vatican and a three day pass in Paris which he considers the most beautiful city in the world. Home on 30 days leave with his mother, Mrs. M. Colussl, 1140 Ninth Ave. E., he will go south to Camp Nanalmo for discharge at the expiration of his leave.. He anticipates entering business but is not decided yet Just what kind of business Ir will be.

' esteem and well wishing. To the Electors of Pr. Rupert Electoral District I have been asked to maKe some puDiic comment in respect i of the national highway leading out of Prince Rupert. Very shortly after the incorporation of this City, agitation arose for the bulldlne of a highway to meet the highway being nrictriitert n fhp Intprlnr. T mvself had broueht In the first! World War Two accentuated the need for the construction of this highway as of major importance and the Federal Government carried through the work. As a considerable portion of the highway is on the right-of-way of the Canadian National Railway, the matter of title has not been adjusted as between the Dominion and the Province. It Is my personal opinion that this highway Is distinctly a National one connecting Northern British Columbia with the rest of Canada and should be maintained by thp Federal authority. I submit. that the matter of ultimate ownership and control of the road should immediately be adjusted between the Dominion and the Province and that meantime the road should be kept in safe and passable condition by the Province until, final ownership and control is agreed upon. Agreement having been reached, the joad. should thereafter be surfaced without delay. I want you to know that I propose to press for this course of action as strongly as I can. Very faithfully yours, T. I). PATTULLO. NEW HOMES FOR REGINA Two-Room Cabins Cost $741 And Come in Three Colors Sixty Ordered by City for Homeless Expected to be Ready Soon REGINA. Oct. 12 If) The housing shortage in Reglna has become so serious that a box factory now is producing homes two-roomed cabins which cost $741. They come in three colors, white, cream and grey, and roofs are covered with red building paper. "They all look enough ' alike without painting them the same colors too," said E. A. Sundberg. manager of the -box factory which produces the cabins. The city of Regina recently placer an order with the factory for 60. A little more than a month later 10 of the houses were up and 40 others were well on the way to completion. The factory doesn't quite prefabricate the cabins. First thr , rough lumber is finished as siding, upright lining or whatever .is needed. Window sash and doors are obtained ready-made Then the material is taken to an open lot and hammered' into shape as houses. The lot is covered with cabins, some nearly completed, some at i the floor and frame stage. All j over the lot carpenters andlielp-ers arc laying floors, erecting frames nnd finishing interiors and painters are busy. k When a cabin is finished it is hauled away to its location. All CP nr going up In the same area at Paskua, Edward, and Alexandra Streets. The cabins are not quite completed when moved. Chimneys and storm doprs re main to be put on. The city has under taken to see that they arc equipped with stoves. As soon, as possible 10 three-roomed cabins costing $995 each will be started, and by the time winter is really here Mr. Sund- ASTHMA RELIEF A Modfrn Inhalant Mithad far Rillivlng tht Symptoml el Ailhmo tl Nan-Cardiac Nature and Hay Fivir A CAUTION) Rtad llitratvr Thoroughly and Uit, Onlf Al Dirtcttd.

Is your name on?- It is the duty of everyone qualified to vote to see that his or her name Ls on the list and to exercise the franchise in support of the municipal candidates who will best represent them In the management of city affairs. All property-owners by agreement of sale and Licence Holders assure yourselves that you are i on the list before Oct. 31st. Non-Partisan Association berg hopes to have them com pleted- provided the cold weather doesn't arrive too fast. Even now, working on the houses In the open air Is a chilly business. No matter what the weather, the cabins will be as warm as any houses. "Why shouldn't they be?" asked Mr. Sundberg. "They are Insulated with shavings and well built." Because they are being built for temporary use, they will not be equipped with plumbing facilities but they should last a considerable time. It's not expected that the factory will produce any more cabins after the 2 Oon contract are completed. The factory will go back to producing boxes.

At my Instance, the highway was started and built out several miles at an expenditure of over three quarters of a milljon dollars. The road, as everyone knows, is a costly om. In view of the fact that similar situations existed In the South and had existed In populated areas a generation before Prince Rupert was on the map, it was impossible for the Province to undertake all the work that was obviously desirable. Such money as was available had to be divided among all portions of the Province upon what was thought to be an equitable basis. In other words we have had' more bread than we have had butter to spread upon it. 214 6th Street Open dally from 9 am. till 2 a.m. Work to please everyone No work too large or too small H.J.LUND Painting Paperhanglng UNION PAINTER Interior and Exterior Work P.O.
