For governments, and especially party leaders, are almost childish in their yearning for constant flattery and Hallelujah choruses of praise and thanksgiving for all the good things they do. ! The member who in his innocence or from deep sjncerity disturbs the serenity of the leaders of his party is usually snubbed or "sent to Coventry" as tjie saying is. If he is of a sensitive disposition he is likely to become upset and emotionally disturbed at the cuts he gets from his own flock. For as Lord Macaulay yrote: "The cold and brutal truth is that among politicians there is no sense of justice or gratitude." And as for the public, all history and the Bible teaches us how they will cover one with garlands of flowers one day and three days af ter-yards cruicify him. ' rHence it took real courage on the part of A, C, Bennett, M.L.A. for Kelowna, to say fixrm his seat in the House: j "If the present Coalition government is i in existence at the present only to meet the threat of the C.C.F., then this is a very nega-, -tive policy and is certainly built on sand, and ' ; one does not need to be a prophet to see that ; the government will collapse." ; Nothing could be more true than the above warning to the Coalition. Ever since the Coalition was formed, and which has given this province most excellent government and administration, the far-seeing supporters have urged some form of unified organization so the rank and file supporters throughout the length and .breadth of the land would have an anchor to hold on to. L But neither the leader of the Liberal party nor tht .leader of the Conservative party have done ojher than discourage any form of united drgani-2jition. The result is already disastrous. Even tjiough at the election in October, 1945, the gov-epiment was returned (though losing all but one sat in the. whole north) unless there is an organization built up long before the next election, they will never again get such unity as prevailed in 1945. i The sooner the old parties realize that federal politics hafei no relation to provincial and shake ojff the shackles of the federal party politicians and ffcrjn a British Columbia united party of a progressive though not socialist nature, the surer it yill be that a sound, reforming, advancing, stable afnd progressive government will continue in this province. j Mr. Bennett ought not to be sneered at as he probably will be,, but should be taken into the cabinet. Exploited Workers tJO ONE works as hard, as unremittingly, under as -jjreat responsibility and strain, as mothers. Thousands of them hate no holidays, no escape from care, no time to themselves, no relief from toil. Njsver has; any "class of work-els suffered-more from the l:Jck of help than the mothers of Canada, urban and rural. .Canadians of modest means 14 humble homes were able to sjcure help in their homes a generation ago. Today It is virtually Impossible for a mother, sick or well, to em-pjoy anyone to help her. jit Is true that Ignorance, snobbishness and unfair demands on home help contributed to the conditions existing t$day but these considerations, were the exception even when help was plentiful. Today a young woman has her choice 01 desirable homes where she wjll be considerately treated in sharing the work, of the njother. Fine living condlUons, modem equipment, excellent py, reasonable hours and recreational facilities feature home employment nowadays. Canada's unemployment regulations play a great part in creating an abnormal scarcity of domestic workers. Women factory and office workeris are "unemployed" and eligible for unemployment Insurance If they cannot secure "suitable" work. Housework, which is highly "suitable" for mothers Is "unsuitable" to those who draw unemployment insurance at the mothers' expense. In one Instance a young COTTAGE CHEESE Nevij Creamed .

One day I walked from the point where I am compelled to take to the beach U I want to get out for mail and supplies to the mouth of Cape Ball River, a distance of about half a mile. In that distance I counted 58 huge new logs that came In on the recent storm from southwest. A trip to Tlell River, a matter of abcnt four and a half Lmlles, showed an equal profu sion of new logs recently beached and I am told the beaches south from there are also strewn with new logs. These logs are evidently from a Davis raft recently lost in the strait. This is not the first lot of logs washed onto the Island shores by any means as the sight of the hge log accumula tions at various places testifies. Seme of these lost logs were salvaged in the vicinity of Lawn Hill but It appears that-salvag ing of logs further narth is lm-. practicable or uneconomical because of the prevalence of rough seas, particularly at this season. It may be more economical for the big mills to log their island "licenses" and raft the logs to their mills than to build new pulp mills on he islands but it Is certainly not economic to waste these huge quantities of nature's bounty. Presumably small pulp mills are practicable only in the backward East ox Is It that pro moters are only Interested In organizing the big outfits because cf the greater profit In the promotional enterprise?

Please stop that gum-chewing!" here have never gotten Into the production phase as witness the big fishing concern at Aliford Bay about 35 years ago. It has bee reported that the water here, because or its brownish color, cannot be used for pulp making but brownish water occurs in the East and Is clarified by a very cheap and satisfactory process. Or our logs can be milled Into lumber. The demand is certainly great enough to justify that and the logs are of "pod enough quality to satiny anyone. Never has a cargo, of lumber been lost at sea after leaving the Islands, even riuriivg the period when the Butkley Bay mill was ujln'? those old lake steamers for lumber carriers and they were considered far from seaworthy under high sea.) condition.? particularly in th North Pacific". I suppose' If any little outfit salraged these logs from the East Coast beaches and started manufacturing them into lumber, they'd be held responsible to the "owners." The province should certainly have collected Us stumpag&so could haveinq complaint. A large portable. outfit should toe able to salvage the togs and cut them up at the beach for the stumpa?? saved. Cats and tracklaying trailers could haul the lumber over the beaches quite economically, I,am sure. Dcn't suppose you could in terest anyone in the propisltion? W. N.

I srboted my blind high and a shaft of light tumbled in but the abundance of all that was left beckoned me out Now, I am not one to neglect my family, even on such a morn-inj. I believe In feeding them: prcper quantities at proper intervals. I think they ned sleep oo-Jbut a little less by tlmes-so I bawled Into the quietness cf that morning: "If ya want it cf my making, ya'd better come!" Being In a very happy frame of mind myself, I went hum-minsly about the business of not burning the toast, pulling on slacks, Hearing the coffee and tying up my hair, quite oblivious to the dismal faces arriving one by one. Closing the door on whit the kitchen held gave me positive joy. That has always been one of the few things I envy in men: the fact that that inal "bang!" can rtmove them so completely frtm the clutter of house-cleaning, the' baby's constant wall-even from the stove over which Jelly has lust boiled! So I walked. With shoulders' well back, head erect and breathing deeply iexprl:nent-, inn. - U -. 1 ! i . ' ortelj, and reflected on the extravagance of a morning.

In bondage to work that will never really be done, never be more interesting and will still be here when the earth has reclaimed us for its own, therd is not time for a quiet walk in the morning, no time to enter into the small pleasures cf your children; and all the while life is falling, swiftly away, each day carrying into the Irreclaimable past a rtring cf priceless gems.

WEATHERMAN DOES BETTER IN FEBRUARY Obviously repentant of his misdeeds in January, the weatherman devoted the whole of Februavy la making amends by providing almost six times as mwh sunshine, half as much rain inid notably higher temper-nturf? pk he did In the vear'j first month. Meteorologists at Dlv Islrrd keep cjose watch on IT's antics. In February, for Ins-tancc, the weatherman allowed 58 hours of brhht 'unshlne, figuratively opening tl doors on the dark dungeons cf January when only 10 hours of sunshine peered through the overcast. It was also an improvement over the February llMR figure of 37.7 bright hours. In the matter of rainfall, the weatherman also alHwed himself grounds for commendation In February. He turned down the tap to allow a meagre 5.84 inches of precipitation whl?h was i datively arid in comparl- ffln wftn the 10.03 Inches which Neqlected Smiles Made mm 1 T N Y IN JUST Aj DAYS I ftl Brini back thi old sparkle to nlecleit smile in usl three days!
