The Dominion is assuming an importance, the significance of which we may not all appreciate and which is involving increasing resopnsibilities for us all. SHOULD BE SUPPORTED THIS is holiday time when people are usually looking for something new and different and should have the time to fnjoy it, although it is also pre-Christmas and a lot of people are busy preparing for the festive season. An outstanding fer.ture of this holiday season in Prince Rupert is the concert at the Civic Centre tonight when two .eminent artists Desire Ligeti, bass-baritone, and Marcus Gordon, young pianist are being presented after a successful tour of Alaska. Here once again Prince Rupert residents are getting the. opportunity by the simple act of their patronage to demonstrate their appreciation of entertainment of the better sort.

CARE WITH CHRISTMAS TREE CHRISTMAS tree is a necessary item at this A time of the year but make certain it doesn't become a menace. In its December bulletin the 13,000-member Canadian Association of Consumers lists several tips for Christmas-tree owners. 1. Don't bring the tree into the house until a few days before Christmas and get it outside afterwards as soon as possible. 2. Stand the tree in water and keep it erect with supports. 3. Stand tree as far as possible from radiators and fireplaces. . 4. Don't connect too many strings of lights to one circuit. 5. Don't let electric bulbs touch branches of tree. x Don't allow the children to play near the tree with electrical toys or- with clockwork toys which spark. 7. .Turn off the tree lights when you leave the room. Never leave tree lights on when you go out. 7 p.m. to 9 p drop his offhand comment about possible use of the atom bo mo.

Yet some of the British comments made in the next few hours seemed to me most damaging and irresponsible. We heard in press and radio that the British were for pea; at almost any price with Red China. Those foolish statements (un official though they were) play-led right into the hands of the j "tough" war party in Peking. No doubt there are two or more 1 j groups within the ruling group. One might .favor a cautious pol- icy, based on acceptance of tlu UN peace proposals. Another might favor a grab-all-you-can-. I wmie-you-can policy. This latter group might say, "We now see that the British won't declare war on us, no matter what we do.'' That, of course, is not true.
