In the Dominion we find the Liberal government of Mackenzie King returned to power a little short of a clear majority of the total of 245 seats in the House of Commons but probably assured of sufficient support among miscellaneous minor groups to ensure it of consistent legislati.y backing pro- viding it hews fairly close to the line. Features of the election result, apart from the heavy cutting down of the Liberal representation, was the substantial increase in the number of Conservative members and the failure of the C.C.F. to make the big sweep it expected. As for ;the government party, it may realize that the temper of the people was, undoubtedly, in the direction of a change but the majority felt that a chance at this critical time might be inadvisable if not perilous. , The Dominion was fortunate, we believe, that it retained the Prime Minister and the better talented among his colleagues to lead it through the trying times to come. The official. Opposition, at last under the actual leadership of its official head, is substantial enough in numbers to afford useful criticism W JUST UKE Poulsen's Cafe and Dining Room Is the Talk of the Town WHY?

With fitting and reasonable cooperation and co-ordination among the parties and due consideration of the better interests of the world and the nation, Canada, under its new Parliament and government, should be assured of another era of good and useful administration. The result in Skeena: Here in Skeena we have chosen to sit in the ranks of the Opposition. Possibly it might have been better had we done otherwise at this time. However, if we get capable representation and fair consideration of our needs, we should have little to feai Of course, we may expect nothing more than our due and, on occasion, it may be necessary to fight hard and unitedly for that. The earnest and, undoubtedly, capable young, man who has been elected our member, in carrying out his work at Ottawa on behalf of the riding, will need the support of all the constituents he rep re'sents organized or otherwise. He, in turn, will have to appreciate the fact that he is no longer a C.C.F. candidate and missionary of the Socialist doc-trine but the elected and entrusted representative of all the people of the riding with his first charge and responsibility the fostering and advancement of their community interests. We hope that he will realize that fact and govern himself accordingly. The people of Skeena have not engaged him as an apostle of SAcialism but as their spokesman and advocate. If he conducts himself .as such he will best serve his riding and will most' effectively reflect credit upon the political party whose nominee he was.

Waterfront Whiffs Nineteen Million Pounds of Halibut Landed at Coast Ports During First Month of Season Spring. Salmon Run fiood On Rivers. Records of the International Fisheries Commission show that for the period from the beginning of the season May 1 to May 31 a total of 19,182,474 pounds of halibut was landed at all American and Canadian Pacific coast ports from Areas Two and Three. Of this, 13,955,872 pounds were landed from Area Two and 5,220,602 from Area Three. Quota set by the Commission to be taken from tooth areas is about 52,000,000 pounds, of which' aicut 24,500,030 pounds is allowed to come from Area Two. Thus, in th first month of the season, more than half the Area Two quota has been, caught. Landings from Area Two at all ports were almost equally divided 'between American and Canadian boats, with American vessels having a slight lead. The American fleet landed 7,05353) pounds, while the Canadian vessels brought ln"C,902,330 pounds. From remote Area Three, where fishing Is done mainly by larger boats, the American fleet brought In 5,158,535 pounds, while 68,067 pounds -were caught by Canadian boats in. that area. With the Area Two season due to close at, midnight Friday, after a 46-day season, landings at Prince Rupert are likely to be well over 7,000,000 pounds. Landings for the season here to Monday were .6,479,500 pounds, more than one-quarter the Area Two quota. At the close of the Area Two season last year total landings at this port were 5,100,830 pounds. During the last 10 days, 1,231,-500 pounds of halibut have arrived here. American1 boats landed 200,030 pounds and Canadian boats ibrousht in 1,031,500. High winds which have roughed the straits over the week-end have slowed fishing operations and landings in the final days of the Area Iwo season are likely to toe considerably smaller than the earlier part of the season as a result. Spring palmon fishing in. the Naas and Skeena rivers is fairly good, according o reports reaching the city. The Naas river fishermen, apparently are doing better thandhose on the Skeena, averaging 12 to 15 fish per boat per day. The fish are reported to be unusually large. Any good fishing that is had in the rivers ruDW will be appreciated by trctl-fers who missed out on the earlier run of springs off Langara Island f I A 1 1 ...1 1 i Last Tuesday the Ladles',, f Tie" P Guild of the Knox United" . , V UU1".

Both rafts belonged to the J. R. Morgan Logging Co. and were being towed across the straits from Cumshewa to Ocean Falls.

FURTHER CHURCH UNION IS HINTED Twentieth Anniversary of United Church of Canada Marked Here At the regular services held In the First United Church yesterday Rev..J. A. Donnell reminded the congregations that Sunday marked the twentieth anniversary of the formation of the United Church of Canada. He recalled how, following years of careful negotiations, on June 10, 1925, In Toronto, three great processions entered the arena through .three different gateways and . then combined Into one large congregation. One of the processions consisted of members of the Congregational-Ists, one of the Methodists and the other represented two-thirds of the Presbyterians in Canada. In an Impressively simple ceremony these 10,000 participants indicated by their physical presence the union of the three great denominations. They showed that from then on they would unite their energies in the great work of advancing the Kingdom of Heaven upon earth. The years since were a convincing proof of the success of the great adventure. There were, fears that certain differences might arise, that certain problems might disappoint the hopes of those who had labored for the combining of the churches then attempting union. These fears had been groundless. Better English By D. C. WILLIAM 1. What is wrong with this sentence? "That story Is fishy" 2. What Is the correct pro nunciation oi "again?" 3.

Were coves 1' All Over Canada, in cities, towns, villages and on farms, hundreds of thousands of men and women watch for the postman to bring dependents' allowance cheques as other people look for pay-day. They arc people of all ages whose hread-winne'rs arc away on active service. They include returned men not yet back in civil life. And SOOn there will be hundreds of thousands more back from the war. They will . receive cheques to help them buy civilian clothes, to go to college, to get technical or vocational training, to start in business for themselves, or to set up as farmers or fishermen. The banks have to be prepared to cash all official cheques for these and a dozen other purposes and to do so anywhere in Canada without charge. In fact, the banks supply Canada with the nationwide machinery to facilitate a grateful country's plans for restoring service men and women to civilian life. This is a tremendous task. It will entail a vast amount of bookkeeping. But you can be sure that your banks will take it in their stride without impairing regular banking service.
