FRED M. JOYCE, formerly well known residents of Prince Rupert, now Hying in Vancouver, have been awarded the Carnegie Hero Fund Commissioner's bronze medal Kr bravery in an episode in Prince Rupert Harbor a little over a year ago when they were instrumental in saving the lives of two boys and three men. The Daily News, which published the story of their fravery at the time and reprinted it yesterday on tthe occasion of the announcement of the award, dgrees heartily therewith and adds congratulations tjo the recipients. ; We happened to have had the favor of acquaintance with Mr. and Mrs. Joyce, quiet and estimable elderly couple, who Jived here during the war years. Possibly, the most interesting feature of their valorous exploitwas their age,he being over seventy ami she a little under. They displayed pluck, resourcefulness and presence of mind which would Save been a credit to people much their junior in Oge. : sp & No Equivocation iR. ANSCOMB, the protln-lYiJcial Progressive-Conserva-i tlve leader and minister rjf finance, was direct enough in expressing his conviction on the wider aspects of political ditference when he said in his speech Wednesday night that the British Columbia coalition government will continue "as ljing as communism and socialism threaten the economic ijfe and freedom of our people." He declared that communism and socialism are a greater menace today than ever before. "It will be repelled by the combined efforts of all freedom-loving people." There vfas no equivocation about Air. Anscomb's stand. L.-PJ'.'s are "communists" and C.CJVers are- "socialists" and they, doubtless, are the menace about what he talks and which, in his belief, makes the continuation of the coalition essential. Good Work Starts Mayor Nora Arnold WHEN officially opens the Salvation Army's hostel for native girls here tomorrow, there will eome Into being in this city a social institution and service which should be of the greatest value. Fitting accommodation for native girls in Prince Rupert .has long been a problem.

The Salvation Army, particularly Brigadier J. T. Dillingham, who conceived the idea of the home, is to be congratulated on providing it. The community might well join us when we express best wishes for the success of the institution in the competent hands of the experienced matron, Adjutant (Mrs.) J. Chambers. Nothing But Drudgery IS NO DOUBT, exquisite THERE sensations to be got from cooking a meal and a lot of men really enjoy the baking of a favorate dish, provided somebody will clean up the ensuing mess. But however white your doorstep is. however much your brass may shine in the end, most housework is nothing but drudgery. Drudgery, even when it is done by the only woman in the world, Is still impersonal and has nothing to do with the Joy or respect of her person. You respect her personality in spite of the drudgery, unless you are a sadist. A man, who with some really intelligent gadget saves a woman a half-hour a day, is a man who does more for the human soul than whole droves of statesmen and all but a handful of painters and poets.
