I Count Our Blessings OF US ordinary folk fail to appreciate our MOST blessings until we lose them and that might be said of our railway, our highway, our telegraph service and even our own CBC radio network. We rant and ve rail about the shortcomings " . and the infirmities of them all as long as they go on functioning in their normal way. But let us lose them for a few days, such as the Skeena River floods have done for us right now ,ancl do we ever miss them? So, in absentia of these services for the time being at least, let us reflect on how much Ave really do rely upon them as they carry on from day to day, doing the best they can, even if more brickbats than bouquetsmay come their way. Here's to them, therefore, and may we soon have them back! And let us also think how much worse things might be for us. What if we had no faithful steam-shins to fall back on ? What if we had no air services? What if we had no radio, telegraphs or telephones'? So let us consider ourselves blessed in this age of modern invention. Back in the early days the pioneers had none of these things. They got along very happily and well too. And, if we remember aright, there was not much' beefing about it. They did not even gripe about the weather which was not that balmy, sunny type which these last few years we have also come to take a little for granted. Yes, floods and their inconveniences notwithstanding, Prince Rupert is still blessed in a multiplicity of ways. In fact we would not have to travel far to fare a good deal worse, even in our own immediate hinterland which is having its inconveniences and its hardships under these unusual coftdi-tions.

Flood conditions and widespread inconvenience ; to the puplic notwithstanding, the radio was still getting through and, fortunately enough, the long distance telephone service was also being maintained. For two days, however, normal commercial telegraph services had been somewhat curtailed.

Kaicn Co- Fi.x Up Clean V Paint Hi their convictions dr how can- There is no quarrel whatever with the radio and the long distance communications being maintained to the fullest efficiency under all conditions. The thought, however, occurs that the commercial telegraph service is equally as important and, if its facilities for coping with emergencies are not equal to those which service the radio and long distance, they should be made so with a minimum of further delay. Harried local officials were, doubtless, doing ) m a able they may be In other matters.

The commercial telegraph situation may have been merely a co-incidence. Possibly, the shoe might iust as well have been on another foot. It certainly should not however, be regarded, either in general set-up or in emergency , as -of secondary importance. If its land line facilities are inferior or less modern than those of the radio or long distance, something should be done about it. NEW MARITIME PROVINCE? LITTLE GROUP known as the Maritime T3AT family will increase by one if Newfoundland decides to join Confederation in the June 3 referendum. The terms of agreement proposed to Newfoundland for entry into the Dominion provide specifically that Newfoundland which would be the name of the new province would be one of the times. ' While the island may not be referred to as one of the "Maritime Provinces" that undoubtedly would come with usage Canada's proposed arrangements provide that it would be brought within the scope of the maritime region concerning regulation of freight rates. Thus Newfoundland would come under the Maritime Freight Rates Act of 1927. The act says that railway freight traffic moving solely within the Maritimes, and certain other traffic in that area, gets a 20 percent reduction from normal charges. Acceptance of the Newfoundlander 'as a true Maritimer will be up to the Maritimer himself. Both are disgusted by a man who doesn't know the difference between a cod and a herring. -So the Newfoundlander probably will be "in." Aou? Available!
