McColl, First Presbyterian Church Under the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, I saw a plain slab marking the tomb of the Unknown Soldier of on the altar. It shall never go out.'' There is the famous story of Mrs. Katie Walker and the Rob-bins Reef Lighthouse In New York Harbor. Her husband was the keeper of tne lighthouse and was stricken with serious illness and was taken to the hospital on Staten Island. Mrs. Walker remained on Robbins Reef to dj his work. One dark day the message came that he had entered into the land where the Lamb is the Light thereof. "Wo turried him," said Mrs. Walker, "in the cemetery on the hill over there.

The lapse in execution of departmental routine is of course, merely incidental to the matter although it served to draw attention to the existing regulations. The important thing is to try and get something done about the removal of or relief from regulations which are hampering the carrying on of what should be normal transportation and communication by the modern means of aircraft between Alaska and Prince Rupert. .Surely there should be no barriers such as this. Air travel is more and more becoming the modem way of transportation and doing business. There can be no argument against facilitating closer and more easy transport between Prince Rupert and Alaska. Red tape should not be allowed to prevent it. So why not away with another offensive bit of red tape and let travel by air in these long distances be as simple as by steamship and other modes? at this porthole and look In the direction of hls grave. -Some times the hills are green, sometimes they are brown, sometimes they are white with snow. But they always have a message for me. Something I heard my husband say more often than anything else. Just three, words "Mind that light."

LETTERBOX j TO WHAT TRIBE? I Editor,, Daily News: Your editorial in appreciation oi Dick Neuberger's illustrated article in the Saturday Evening Post is commendable. However and. inasmuch as Prince Rupert might well feel proud of her progressive Indians, I am looking forward to a later editorial wherein you might tell us your reaction to the following: "To what "tribe" do you belong?" And the possible embarrassment of being unable to claim any relationship whatsoever to the "Great Chief Wahoo" of comic picture fame let alone to some highly revered and noble head-feathered ancestor.

That in certain seasons ' Christ- mas and Easter for example, the fires burn with a bright and satisfying flame, but that when Monday returns and the trivial round is resumed there are only embers left? May not the reason for our gradual decline of devotion and interest lie in our expectation that sudden and great emotions will be suf fici- j ent? You will understand what the saintly Murray McCheynej prayed for when ;ie cried: "O Lord, hold me on at a steady pace." A steady pace yes, that I is what is wanted; "to go on for-! ever and fall and go on again." But how can this be? It can be felt, and the fire kept burning through the Ion?

A' LL CANADA IS PROUD of the Dominion's beautiful and skilful Olympic Queen of the flash-ing blades Barbara Ann Scott of Ottawa who won the figure skating championship at St. Moritz yesterday. It was a grand achievement and, while it is only one event, probably it is the most colorful of the whole Winter Olympics. In publicity value it is worth millions to the Dominion, particularly when won by one so charming and so modest as Barbara Ann who said in an interview last, night that her ambition was to get home and start studying domestic science at university which is typical of the girl who may be said today to have the athletic world in bidding at her feet. With Barbara having crowned herself and her country with glory at the Winter Olympics, our Royal Canadian Air Force hockey team is also giVing a good account of itself so Canada is not doing so badly in the classic of amateur sport attainment. unused because in our hearts described his mission as that of there is not the fire of devo- n man lighting a fire, and what-t'on?

It is interesting to note that the Province recognizes the strategic position of Prince Rupert with reference to Alaska, a situation that Alaska should and could be allowed to avail itself of. Entitled "Why Keep Alaska Chained to Seattle?" here is the Province's editorial: "Ottawa should put some real pressure on Washington to amend the notoriously archaic and unfair Jones Act which for so many years has helped to isolate Alaska and made it almost an exclusive 'preserve' of Seattle shipping interests. 'The Jones Act works a hardship on Alaskans and discriminates foolishly and unfairly against B.C. shipping companies. It is slated for some amendments by Congress this year but .already the U.S. Maritime Commission has recommended agairust any change which would enable Canadian vessels to carry passengers and freight between Alaskan ports. "The commission also takes a dim view of a bill to authorize shipments of merchandise to a Canadian port via a Canadian railway and then to Alaska on Canadian vessels. The law how permits such shipments by Canadian vessels to points in the continental United States but forbids It to Alaska. "As the law now stands Canadian ships can't carry passengers or freight from one Alaska port to another and can take into Alaska only passengers from Canadian ports and products of strictly Canadian origin. There is even a story that a Canadian furniture shipment to the Panhandle had to be routed through Seattle because the furniture was held together with American-made screwnails. "U.S. business, too, would often like to send goods to Alaska by rail as far as Prince Rupert and then ship them the rest ' of the way. But at present it must send them via Seattle, regardless of cost or Inconvenience. 'Tor Alaskans the situation is absurd and irritating. Passing their doorsteps every week are Canadian vessels which are unable to offer freight service to or from other Alaska points or "the outside." "If the United States is going to be consistent with efforts to reduce trade barriers and inequalities, it can do a little spade work close to home. The present shipping barriers between Alaska and B.C. benefit only the shipping interests of Seattle and Portland. "Alaskans and British Columbians don't want them." T v y run LJficrnm can outwardly inherit- its forms and customs. Yet living in a world where the spiritual life is available, it is a tragedy not to have some of it for one's own and be able to say of its inner faiths, its deep resources, iis saving virtues.
