Looking Oxford lost the annual row- Some of these chilly-eyed Irish U st'vmiiip, Dr. John Duncan MacLean, former Premier of British Columbia, who died Sunday niuht in Ottawa, left his mark in British Columbia affairs, although it being twenty years since he was Premier and then only for a year between two such personalities as John Oliver before him and Dr. S. F. Tolmie after him, he may have been to some extent forgotten. He had served for many years as chairman of the Federal Farm Board at Ottawa, quietly but effectively and had become more or less detached from his native province. A poor farm boy, Dr. MacLean had to make his way through life from the very start. Even to obtain his medical degree, years were required but he had the ambition and resolution to see him through. His personality was such that he made friends, commanded esteem and respect and Greenwood, then a flourishing mining town where he located, gave him his start in public life. He served as alderman and mayor there and was writ as Member of the Legislative Assembly. Soon he was recognized as of cabinet timber and Mr. Oliver nanud him as Minister of Education and Provincial Secretary. Dr. MacLean wentquietly to work to master the details of his departments, and having done so, gradually revolutionized them. He did not do things in a spectacular manner, but gradually .and without fuss accomplished a great deal. He took over the privately operated tubercular sanitorium at Tranquille for the government; established a home for incurables at Marpole, and remodelled arid reorganized the boys' industrial school and mental hospitals. The standard of teaching was raised in the province and many important changes were inaugurated in the educational system, including technical schools. He set to work to permanently house the University of British Columbia, and this was accomplished. In addition to his other departments he was given the portfolio of railways- and this involved n ing classic last Saturday.

AGITATION which has been going on in such newspapers as the Vancouver Sun and Province and the Prince Ptupert Daily News in favor of the establishment of a Canadian coastguard service on the Pacific Coast receives vigorous support, supplemented by some new idea,f rom one of the coast's best known veteran master mariners in the person of Capt. John Muir, for years skipper of Union Steamship Co. vessels and more recently marine superintendent for that company. Vessels of the fisheries patrol, lighthouse and hydrographic services might be used as the nucleus of a -Coastguard to give possible succor to crews of distressed vessels in their vicinity, Capt. Muir suggests. Powerful tugboats which operate on the coast could be called upon to tow .distressed vessels in case of emergency. ('apt. Muir adds: "No more ef ficient or capable hands could be found anywhere for Coastguard duties than the sturdy, fearless lads who earn .their living on British Columbia halibut vessels, fish packers, trollers, seiners and gillnetters. Such vessels should, and could, 'be -equipped with modern life-saving equipment approved for mobile coastguard stations such .as those .established on the coasts of United States and Great Britain." Properly organized, and equipped, "it would be almost certain that one of our Coastguard, on 'receiving the international SOS appeal direct from any distressed vessels or. relayed from other ships or land stations, would be on her way to render assistance in a very short space of time." Of course, Capt. Muir suggests, a Canadian Coastguard cutter, with proper and full equipment and trained crew, would be of very useful service. Another suggestion of -Capt. Muir's is the establishment of helicopter stations at Coal Harbor, Quatsino Sound and Sandspit. "It is to be hoped," concludes the captain "that, in spite of federal objections, the editorials will result in some kind of a Canadian Coastguard being formed soon."
