Three young British doctors of an industrial medicine research unit at Birmingham Accidents Hospital have found that nylon in sheet form can be used as a transparent dressing which need not be removed until the wound has healed. Dr. J. R. Squire, leader of the team which is backed by the Medical Research Council, said: "The new dressing keep bacteria, dirt and moisture out but allows perspiration to escape so that the skin, though covered, remains healthy and dry.

What is wanted is a closer relationship and more of a community of interest. Alaska thinks too much about Seattle and Prince Rupert's thoughts rarely wander very far away from Vancouver. The people spending their lives up here might do worse than know more about leach other and their plans and ideas. For after all, his is the north. P.C. CONVENTION NATIONAL CONVENTION of the Progressive-Conservative THE party, arrangements for which are being completed, will be held in Ottawa September 30 and October 1 and 2. Its purpose will be to select a new leader. The occasion will be the fourth national convention, having the same objective in view. From the time of Sir John A. Macdonald, until 1927 no national conventions of the party, to choose a leader had taken place. Choice was always made by the senators and parliamentary members, representing the party, from among their own number. Now the membership at large, through its delegates, does the choosing. NICE DOGGIES? THE NOCTURNAL barking of dogs is protested by a member of the city council and a good many other citizens, doubtless, have a fellow feeling. For no one will dispute that the vocal message of "Prince," "Towser" or "Rover," any time after X :30 a.m. can murder needed slumber and make a rtjiomusrh job of it. Most of us like a good dog but who can hold them in affection when they are permitted to yap and yowl in the stille night? avfc,. Tl f ir natural home is on a ranch or out in the country. They are out of place in a town at best and i the larcer the community the more troublesome, ! embarrassing or downright impossible do they be- come. But jf they must be here, the least their cus-, , todians can do is respect the feelings of others. PEACE RIVER DISSENSION. A FEELING that there is not enough sympathetic interest at .Victoria in the welfare of this prov-! ince's northern half is expressed in an edi-i torial by the Alaska Highway News. The editor of J the Fort St. John publication feels strongly on the ! subject. He suggests to Peace River residents that ! now is a good time to discuss seriously the possi-! bility of requesting the government of Alberta to I incorporate within that province the B.C. district. ; A number of reasons are given in the editorial ; for the cause of dissension in the Peace River Block ; sufficient to suggest its secession. Rightly or j wrongly, the northern editor has made the follow-l ing comparisons between B.C. and Alberta to the advantage of our eastern neighbor: 1. Alberta has successfully pushed its highway system north while B.C.'s northern highway policy ! is bogged down in waste and uncertainty. ! 2 2. Alberta ITas successfully attracted ' large oil ; companies to spend $50,000,000 on drilling wells .' there while this province's dog-in-the-manger atti-' tude has barred oil companies from prospecting its , ,,vast oil possibilities, especially in the Peace River country. 3. Alberta's, land clearing policy is progressive enough to provide surplusses of home-grown food "' products while B.C., despite having to import essen-tial foods, refuses to develop serious land clearing and land settlement. 4. Alberta's financing is of such character that "'the province is free from nuisance taxes such as the three percent exaction in B.C. I 5. Alberta's railway policy is progressive as against B.C.'s policy of "millions for bond interest on our railway but not one cent for northern exen-i sion." 1 There is no doubt the Fort St. John editor is justified in pome of his compaints. In these cases, Victoria should tke heed. Possibly tnis is the re-J suit desired by the Peace River publication rather ; than the suggested joining with Edmonton.
