But with an election approaching, subjects : yearning for introduction and a general sense of expectation there are already signs of a change. Whatever form it takes can hardly be disappointing to the people of the provinces, and that may go. just as well, for Newfoundland. For there has been too long a feeling of too great a centralization of federal, authority at one end and too much uncertainty and restlessness at the other, with the distance between widening all the time, and an ob-jctive, such as national unity and understanding becoming a matter of less not more urgency. Any developments at Ottawa that will see the asking of questions, the threshing out of vital, timely issues on the floor of the House will not be wholly unwelcome.

Bulkley country have not had exceptionally k heavy snow falls, say those who, because of resi-V' dence there, are able to speak with some authority. Spring floods, involving rivers such as the Skeena and Fraser, have usually had their sources in the melting snows far back from the coast. But, according to w hat is said this year, there has been no great depth, and that gives rise to the hope' that whatever high water there may be, it cannot he classed as flood. This, while not warranting too great a confidence, is at least reassuring. ,4 1 4 a relief fund for a lighthouse keeper and his family who lost everything in. a winter storm was sponsored by the I.O.D.E. with the co-operation of the Daily News. Gifts of clothing, food -and goal were made to, needy families in the city during the year as well as hampers and toys for the children at Christmas At Christmas gifts were also made to each of the residents of the Pioneers' Home and to thp girls from Europe who were working in the local hospital. t J ' - - I I ' i-w.-:. , . ,.',' .y, I ' . , f . ; f l i - j' U , ' " jjfevti V-" wst&vv iff' f i i , can save his life In a far, northern settlement, a man meets willi a serious accident.
