Thou canst not then be false to any man." So sflva tha ti.v jjutrt anu me iMuie iigiees w ilii him. (See Psalm 51. Verse 6).

Z ,? i sen. most 01 us us jonow uie noisy leader like a flock of sheep. It is a difficult thing to be an individual to be true to our real self when the world and its opinions are pulling in an opposite direction. But God demands sincerity of be sincere at whatever cost to our success or popularity. For the penalty of insincerity is loss ol the dignity , of our life. We fancy that DUttine a hnlrl fire on our insincere life we can trick men into helipvimr any thing but the truth of us. But we cannot fool our fellows. They can read us as easily as we read them. Men will forgive us our sins of passion, our inconsistencies, but they cannot forgive our insincerity. Better be dead than Insincere. Another penalty of Insincerity FINE Alaskan Statehood C TATEH00D FOR ALASKA is receiving some J . all-out backing- in influential quarters in the United States thee days. Nearly 100 big-name Americans, composing a cross-section of prominent citizens, have formed themselves into a formidable committee in support of the enabling act to make Alaska a state which is due for action in Congress within the next few days. The next step after congressional approval will be a territorial convention which will be held at Sitka. The process of Alaskan state-making is just about one year behind schedule but in 1950 it is expected that definite progress will lie made. Illustrative of the big campaign which is being waged in important quarters in the United States is a copy of the Pittsburg Sun-Telegram which devotes two 1'uH pages to strongly advocating Alaskan statehood on the ground of national interest, arguing that statehood is vital to United States defences. A graphic half page cartoon depicts Alaska and Hawaii as two firemen fighting the flames of Communism. Statehood for Alaska is also held as being in the economic interests of the United States. Further the Sun-Telegraph looks on its immediate granting iis fulfilling a virtual promise to the territory ..-Supporting the Sun-Telegraph's campaign is a special article by Ford I. Crawford, a representative to ,C ongress from Michigan who says:' "Congress must grant Hawaii and Alaska statehood now. "The reasons are imperative. 'They are key areas in our strategic " defence atr-amst h Russia. JThey are key areas in our cold war against the world spread of Communism. "As territories they are weak. "As states they would be strong. "Japan struck at both territories in World War IT "Hawaii and Alaska are today the nrime targets under the American flag of the most powerful enemy that has ever threatened the United States. "Statehood would vastly strengthen . America's position in the idealogical and economic conflict now being waged throughout the Pacific." A1 of which is very interesting to Prince Rupert which, in view of its position in relation to -ilaska, is vitally concerned in an early raising of the territory to the status of a state. It v ? .?

Is that no sin so - surely saps and undermines our influence. Perhaps we think we have no influence. Most of us think too much of our abilities and far tou little of our influence. We are are all an so so inter interwoven in the web of life that we are influencing, moulding and making each KLun every nay, anu buunge to say the people who influence us are usually those who never try to influence us at all. The one thing that can shatter this unconscious influence of character is Insincerity. We may be narrow and still command respect, we may be ignorant, and men may not dispise us. Bt Jgnorat or learned, narrow ur broadminded, once let men feel that we are insincere and all our influence for goon", and for God is gone, and so once more we repeat our text: "Be to thine own self true, tnd it shall follow as the night tho rlnv Thnn -rt n,it (hAii be false to any man ACHES & RIUMS PAINS SORE THROAT lowtst fic GtNUINt SPIN ' IS MARKED 1! tW ! irtW THIS WI ST m 100 Ubtt PRINTING at 21 222 Second Av F 5 CABS Stand: Vork Hold, 3rd Avi- CAFK IN Till: CITY MEIN 133 PHONE 79 DIRECTORY Services In all cti un tie at II a.m. :: p.m.; Similar School ui 12:15 except as hon.

ALEERT & McCAFFERY LTD. W. M. Watts, Manager. OLD AGE PENSIONS Editor, Daily News. A few days ago the Daily News carried in its "Ray Reflects" column a paragraph reading "Old age pensions must come from some tangible place. And the answer is taxes. That's why more people looking back over a lifetime might feel more comfortable could they reflect they had contributed something regularly to the state." The inferei or, I take it, is approval of a contributory system to a pension plan. That, would provide a meal ticket to those in the evening of life. Such a plan, I believe, should meet with the approval of the most able. But who is the person, man or woman, who ha spent a lifetime of toil in the production 'of wealth that has enjoyed more by schemers and exploiters f than by the actual producers? They, in truth, produce jj all the wealth that pays' all the taxes. They provide the workers for the succeeding gen-' eration. Why should the hands of such men and women tremble when they endorse an old age pension check here and now? GEORGE B. CASEY.

God in all his people. - In this psalm the hypocrite David. King of Israel, has been revealed to his Inmost self by the words of the prophet Nathan, For nearly a year since he had committed murder and adultery he had been llvinir a hypucrite-s life but the words of the prophet propnet unveiled unveiled him him and revealed the demand of God that this people should be at least sincere with themselves. Repentance for his sins had revealed that to David. There are some hours in life when we are blind; hours when we see nothing and forget everything; and all our past, our honor, our duty to God fade away and are blotted out. But when repentance comes then our blind eyes are opened, our dear ears unstopped. We ' realize the sin that we have done, the hypocrites we are. It is always a hard thing to be sincere with ourselves. Life is lull of little insincerities for most of us and it is often the man who is seriously struggling to be true to himself who feels most keenly his lack -of sincerity. To be sincere Is doubly hard today, for most of us are faced wilh a fierce struggle for our existence. We have to compete with our fellows in so many walks of life that It c omes hard to be true to our better self In the struggle. Few men are heroes and- a perfectly sincere man In our day and generation is a real hero. But we must not think Ujat there are no sincere people though itjs so ' hard. One feels a thrice of pride when we can read of native people in foreign lands clinchinz a bargain among themselves by the name of a white trader whp has proved truthful and sin-j cere in all hi3 dealings with them. Our common standards of. today make It hard to be truly sincere. The thoughts of all the world are now so quickly voiced and registered. For many centuries of our history the general mass of people had no voice. They lived and loved, and died. ?ut 'hat thoughts they might nave on the great themes of life mattered little to their rulers. Then came an awaken- B ing, the dawn of the people's power, the vote for all, the'fl ' newspapers spilling hte news of me world over the breakfast or supper tables, until today public opinion is a dominant power. uniortunately vox popull is i UA" .V 9 Always Prompt and Courteous I; We're Here to Serve YOU Commodore Cafel "Hospitality and Good Food"'!

However, there are some lessons, no doubt, that can be learned and one of the most important of these lessons seems to be the need for a different training technique than is now followed in the Dominion. After the last Olympic Games, sports writers advocated a more consistent system whereby training would be on a round the year basis instead of seasonally which is now the general rule in this country. : With the next British Empire Games coming to Canada, it is to be supposed that Canada will learn the lessons of London and Auckland so that Canadians may be as good participants as they will be hosts.

We could, of course, stop the children from doing it tmt it seems silly to do that after spending money for a sleigh which must have been meant to Joe used. Every year there are one or two children run over. Couldn't this be prevented by blocking off one hill in each section of town for coasting. I am sure the car owners would not object to going on a different street. I Thank you, Mr. Editor, for publishing this and let's hear from somebody else about it.
