Working for Better World ONE DOES NOT BEGIN to do his part in working for a better world merely by being born in a better part of this bad world, happy though the circumstances may be for him. Citizenship in Canada, for instance, does not endow one, automatically, with good citizenship. The conscious, personal acceptance of the responsibilities of citizenship, and a ceaseless striving for fitness in discharging them, are the duty of a good citizen; and the first requirement of a ood society. Through the co-operation of good Citizens men can create an area of common good. By example and persuasion they should unceasingly seek to extend the area of their common good until, in time, all men are attracted to it. I Only by drawing men to their way of life can good citizens establish it firmly. Co-operation only can build a better world. Compulsion kills co-operation and creates resistances which destroy ultimately the societies compulsion constructs, v Snobbishness is a show of fear and ignorance by 3 people' whose vanity, exceeds their worth. . . 3 Ilife or Death? HE UNITED NATION Organi-I zation is a forum, and a , mirror in which nations can see themselves as others see them. It is infinitely better that the nations should be busy at the U.N.O., telling the vyorld what they think of each other, than busy at home plotting action against each other. One stark fact has been, made clear to all who were permitted to hear the nations' spokesmen: the conceivable combinations of world powers can destroy each other. The cjhoice is between, living together or dying together. To say that two ideologies cannot be held by two great groups, n one world, is to say that these great powers will destroy each other. Peace depends upon world understanding of the causes ind the consequences of modern war. The achievement of understanding is exceedingly difficult. Two-thirds of the people of the world are illiterate and a great number of the literate third are deprived of Information which is vital to Understanding. Because of the feuppression and distortion of Ihe truth, among the literate third cf humanity, this third lias made war more frequently, more destructively and more viciously, than any other portion of the earth's people. Feeble and imperfect as it Js, the United Nations Organi zation is the only means of Achieving understanding among the nations. It embodies mankind's hope that the goodwill of men will overcome the evils of irresponsible power. ;We Serve You Nothing 'But the Best . . .

The words could have well been written for Prince Rupert. Here is what the Province says of its town's main streets: "A city's main streets usually are part of its show window. They serve the most imposing buildings, they are used most frequently by visitors and tourists, and they reflect a town's efficiency and self-respect. "From this viewpoint Vancouver has the status of a Hottentot village. Some of our busiest thoroughfares are riddled with holes and puddles deep enough to drench pedestrians anoV break the best springs. "One cf the worst offenders is Georgia Street between Bur-rard and Granville, a road that serves Vancouver's courthouse. (Reminding us of the notorious 'Third Avenue between Mc Bride and First Street). Visitors must wonder what our porrer streets are like if our best ones are pocked with such pot-holes. "Right now our patched and bumpy streets look as though we had suffered from a blitz."
