Then again, they must leave our friendly city to look for work away from home and their parents or parent as is my daughter's case. j How about all these business men getting together and arranging to give these young girls a chance for the summer : months so they can pay the dentist, buy their next term books and maybe buy a few "New Looks" for themselves instead of their parents paying for i all these when the cost of living is rising each day. I Yes, Mr. Editor, I have a child in High School and I hope to keep her there for another term or two as she will be better there than staying home doing nothing while some married woman takes hers and other girl's work 'away from them. ' Certainly I agree that during the war years you' couldn't depend on the young girls but they were young and must learn to hold their jobs, but don't let us hold that against the young folks that are in town now. Give them a hand i to make them good) business staying home and doing a bit of gardening and let the young cnes have a chance so they will find more to do than to stand on street corners or the Post Office steps.

TODAY Business and Hr.ofessionol SINCE the government-appointed Board of Commissioners authorized railway companies to make a general increase in freight rates of 21 percent much has been written about the hardship such an increase will mean to British Columbia because of the mountain differential. These notorious mountain rates have long been a grievance to British Columbia; they are the highest in Canada, amounting to one and a quarter times the prairie rates on most commodities. It has often been the boast of certain sections of Eastern Canada that the West especially British ... Columbia is a negligible quantity. Evidence presented to the Transport Board which does not seem to have been stressed shows that in this instance the West is more than pulling its load so far as the over-all Canadian transportation system is concerned. It was shown that the four western provinces contributed 65 percent of the operating profits of one of the railways and that only 34 percent of the freight revenue was contributed by eastern Canada. According to the latest census, there were 0,239.766 westerners: in the east the population w as 8,2G6,000. Thus three million people in the west :."paid t5 percent of the revenue while eight million liaid only 34 percent. The mountain differential has been paid for many times over by British Columbia. Take lumber first: a carload pf lumber shipped from a Quebec mill to Ontario, a distance of 600 miles, pays 23 ' cents per 100 pounds; a carload shipped from the coast to Alberta, also about 600 miles, pays 50 cents per 100 pounds. With living costs still mounting, these increased rates. will, further aggravate the difficulties that : .'; people in British Columbia have in meeting the cost ::, of living; the mountain differential was one of the greatest injustices ever imposed on the economy of - British Columbia, and the new rates, unless they tire adjusted downwards, will inflict a much greater .injustice. iN BRITAIN TOO PEOPL'E'd'o not take kindly to austerity in a government. That is what Premier King had in mind yesterday when he made brief mention of C.C.P. successes in by-elections. High prices, restrictions and privations, he observed, arouse objections and it would be sometimes discovered that the electorate cast ballots the same ' way they felt. It is true also that in Great Britain today, the government, while carrying on under extremely dif- ' ficult circumstances, cannot be said to be popular. To e.XDect a country to suffer what Britain has already borne and continue on with no easing of conditions, no relaxation or slackening of strain and tension more shortages and rigid prohibitions, monotony in food and drink in short a dreary existence as the price, sometime, of recovering national solvency and stability, is to look for a most . docile and patient public. RESPONSIBILITIES OF CHILDREN THE POSITION of the child in the family has i changed. A century ago there was no question of the place of children in the home. The father was lord and master and he determined all maters. Children were, seen but not heard. -That conception of family life has passed and the "heavy, father" is today as much out of step in the democracy of the home as are dictators in a world democracy. The pioneer child was required to make a distinct economic contribution to the home through ' carrying out selected jobs on the farm. While that is true to a lesser extent in rural areas today, the town or city child normally has little economic re-'. sponsibility in the family, There are few duties to . keep him at home and he has been accustomed to I .getting away from his own fireside even for his entertainment or recreation. But it is frequently to the child that the remainder of the family looks for moral support. Too often parents go through life and into death with the feeling that they have been unappreciated by their children ; sometimes even that their offspring have been just a bit ashamed of them. It is a primary responsibility of children then to appreciate ' vorthy parents and to convey that appreciation to them by their actions. Hand in hand with this is the responsibility of renresentine the family in" the neighborhood. Wherever they go, at parties, at school, and on the street, children are representatives of the family and carry the family reputation 'with them.

HUGHES Chiropractor Permanent avw DO YOU THINK YOU PAY TOO MUCH FOR AUTOMOBILE INSURANCE IN B.C. i Yfhen you hear of what in paid for automobile insurance in Saskatchewan, you wonder why it costs what it does in B. C. Hut have you ever stopped to con-sider whv rates vary? In ordir to be on a sound basis, automobile insurance rates are based strictly on the losses. In other words .the -ost of insurince depends on the motorists themselves and the varying conditions under which ihey drive. What are these conditions in B.C. 1. lUVs POPULATION LARGELY CONCENTRATED IN ONE ARBA ' Of a total population of over 1,000,010, by far the largest proportion is concentrated in Greater Vancouver anl New Westminster, which have a com. bined population oi approximately 500000. 2. EFFECT OF DENSE TRAFFIC ON INCREASED RATES In thickly populated urban areas wi.h their increased traffic, automobile accidents are greater than in rural dis ricts. This has a driect bearing on insurance rates for Public Liability and Property Da mane s Is shown by the fcllovring figures1 San Francisco, $50 00; Seattle, $41.00 Toronto, $30.00; Vancouver, $30.00; Victoria, $15.00 Because the accident risk is less on Vancouver Island, motorists living ther pay half as much for this insurance as Vancouver residents. 3. LIMITED VISIBILITY DUE TO FOl AND RAIN In winter on the Lower Mainland, foj and heavy" rainfall increase driving hai-ards. 4. MORE MILEAGE PER CAR IN ALL-YEAR DRIVING Unlike other Provinces, British Col jmbia's climate permits a car to be driven twelve months in the year. There's no lay-up in winter. So the possibility cf accidents is greater here. 5. MOUNTAINOUS TERRAIN Mile for mile, there are more danger jus roads in British Columbia than in any other Province in Canada. - All this adds up to tSese inescapable (acts: 1. British Columbia Accidents in 1947 per 1000 cars-9.88 Saskatchewan Accidents in 1947 per 1000 cars 3.05 2. If in 1947 the same losses had occurred in Saskatchewan as occurred in B C-, the Government of Saskatchewan vvcuW have had to pay out $300 for every $1.00 collected. The B. C. Safety and Responsibility Law is designed to reduce accidents If It does, your insurance rates will be reduced. Remember auto insurance rates are based solely on accidents. They depend on YOU and YOUR driving. ALL-CANADA INSURANCE FEDERATION (BRITISH COLUMBIA COMMITTEE) Representing .... ,l"nrAJvnSA?,A INSURANCE FEDERATION.
