The summation, which is being sent to the Board of Railway .Commissioners and the provincial government, is published in the Daily News today and makes inter-esting reading. i A strong case is made out as to why the industries of central British Columbia, particularly dumber and fish, cannot stand the thirty percent increase in railway freight rates. In concludes with a general summarization which might well state the case for all of British Columbia pointing out that the unfair situation in which this province :is already placed by the mountain differential would be only further aggravated by the proposed j'ricrease in rates generally. ; Aid to China Z you make a contribution' WHEN to something, you often wish you knew a litUe more definitely where it was going, for what it was going to be used. Here is something !defittite commandimgly definiteabout the Canadian Aid io China Fund, which is now appealing for $2,500,000 to .cover its 1947 program. Of this Jsum British Columbia Is asked io raise $250,000. ! The Canadian Aid to China , Fund is supplying drugs for mobile clinics which are covering two large areas In the jprovlnce of Honan, China, where Kala-Azar is rampant. Kala-Azar "Black Fever" has stricken at least 2,000,000 jchlldren in China. It is almost ientirely confined to children, jand is always fatal without treatment. Always. With treatment, 98 per cent of cases are (' cured. But the drugs developed for jits treatment cost $5 per per-:son for the 12-day administration required. That accounts .for one big item in the year's ibudget of the Canadian Aid ;to China Fund, for there are i 20,000 or more Kala-Azar icases in the Honan areas it is pledged to cover. ""Kala-Azar is a tropical dis-iease which takes nearly two ;years to kill its victim, who gets thinner and thinner while 5iis stomach swells bigger and jbigger. Around the face there .comes a dark shadowing which Reives the disease its name. iBut drugs $5 worth of drugs !per child can almost certainly save a life. This is good reason to reach Into our pockets or purses this moment and take out the good Canadian .bill that will .'shake death's shadow off the face of a, Chinese child?

Our System Better HE POLITICAL situation in T Georgia, where through confusion - over constitutional interpretation, rivals for the gubernatorial seat in an anom-olous situation are making a scene, could not haTe arisen under the British or Canadian constitutional machinery which is designed to handle such situations simply and expeditiously. Nor could the present situation at Washington, where the Democratic minority Is creating a two-year deadlock by retaining the administration in the face of Republican majority In the Legislative chambers, be possible. There might be a tendency to scoff some times at the doeged British methods of gov-citizenshlp but they can at least show something to the United States in the way of expeditious practice of democratic process. In fad the British Commonwealth of Nations, as we have pointed out before, is still the model for the natioas of the world. FROWN ON BACHELOR MOTHERS VANCOUVER, Kf) Bachelor motherhood, claimed to be the solution to the problem of surplus old maids, has been rejected here by a group of women wiio consider the plan' is unworkable under "our present system." The Bachelor Motherhood League, launched in England by Edward Wilson, is designed to work for social acceptance and legislation of bachelor mother hood, to try to conduct an experiment there to this end and to encourage women to take the step of. bachelor motherhood with a "due sense of responsl-billty." The main abjection here is that no provision Is made to have a permanent father for the children. Mrs. T. A. Ralston, M.LA., says: "Our civilization is built around the home a child needs both mother and lather to provide a healthy environment." RICH MEAT MORSELS Health authorities suggest such items as liver, kidney, heart, tongue and sweetbreads to add taste and variety to meals. They are all rich in vitamin A and iron, and held td ensure healthy eyes and rich blood. SEE US I "V -H u " AS PLAYGROUNDS NEEDED- -So declares W W C O'Neill, principal of Booth Memorial School.

Seven sailed from the ancient port of Halifax with the first Canadian troops aimed at the heart of Hitler's expanding empire. Before dawn today, the Aquitania returned to Halifax with the last Canadian contingent coming home. The job is done. Hitler lies dead, his forces shattered, mankind, freed at last from the bonds of nightmare, slowly, painfully, arid with much heart searching, sets to work to build a new world out of wreckage-of the old. The war is an old story to Halifax. But even to a city that in two years' time will celebrate two centuries of history the second world war loomed too large to be regarded now as merely another episode. Like the war that preceded it, like the great disaster that struck this community nearly 30 years ago when the explosion of an am munition ship killed 1,100 people, it will never be forgotten. Now that the last troopship, has come home, Halifax relaxes a little after her labors at' high pressure over seven years and remembers with pride her achievements. But the present and the future are making their demands and Halifax has neither the- time nor the inclination to rest on her. laurels.

C.N.R. men are proud pf this because, only a week before the He De France had come into Halifax with enough troops to fill 23 specials. Fifty special trains In a week meant careful organization. No sooner were some of the He De France trains emptied in Quebec, Ontario and Manitoba than they were turned back to seaboard to pick up Queen Elizabeth passenger. Nothing bound west of Winriipis could come back in time. Yet because of plan- ! i j ... tig 02 MANSON'Si JEWELLERS "The Home of Better Jewellry" years" ago the Aquitania nlng and expeditious handling, the equipment was provided and regular trains continued to operate with an insignificant number of cars lield out for the specials. When the first Canadian division sailed from Halifax In December 1939 In five steamers Including the Aquitania, few knew what was going on except the soldiers themselves, ths military authorities and the transportation men. Halifax had an inkling but kept the information to herself and the rest cf Canada was in the dark until Churchill, beating the censor's release deadline by eight hours, told the world that the Canadian troops had arrived in England. fireat Story of Canadian National Since those days seven years ago when some 15,000 men were carried into Halifax on 33 Canadian National troop trains, more than 1, 200,000' on the way to war or homeward bound were transported by the C.N.R.
