The C.C.F. indicates that it jrould just as soon head off a contest within the 3fext few months. T With big industrial enterprises actively interesting themselves in setting up in the' province on fh unprecedented scale, the suggestion is made fHat an unstable political situation in British Col-fcn&ia"might have an adverse effect upon final decisions to locate here. Therefore, it would be desirable to clear the political atmosphere once and for all. From the straight political standpoint, it is understandable from the coalition aspect where an early election might be desirable. The Premier . has brought down an ambitious expansion program, the effecting of whieh would ensure a great meas- ure of development and a long era of prosperity. The government has something on which to go to the country. Also from the political standpoint, it might be . considered desirable that an early provincial election be held so that the solidarity of the coalition, whatever its degree of strength and cohensiveness may be, would not lie adversely affected by differences between the two old parties which might Te accentuated in a federal contest which is also a practical crtainty this year. . v There appears to- be good reason to believe that rthe provincial election may come first after all.

What's to be done ahout it? Not very much! Time can make a change but it's a tedious process. As a matter of fact, much of B.C. is still a wilderness. Some people ; prefer a crowd to the frontier. But the bright lights, I the shows 'and the Hollywood flavor attract a!-' ; tract more. Most of us want the easy and not the ; hard way. But that does not say it's always easy in the big town. The lure, however, is there but ample ground for expansion will always be available in the ; great open spaces. 'BARREL STAVES DOWN the gleaming snow slopes of the world's winter resorts a modern generation slides and glides on skis. It is an, exacting sport, an exercise calling for co-ordination, a pliant strength and ' timing. Practiced by experts it achieves dazzling ' speed, grace and rhythm. t But can the stylized performance of the present j ski enthusiast produce the rollicking fun of an earlier boyhood's haphazard descent down a neigh- borhood snow hill on barrel staves? Here was ; shown a native dexterity born and nurtured in the : school of hardy experience. No instructor taught ' Jjae youngster how to place his feet, how to attempt a turn, how to preserve a balance. Those were accomplishments seldom attained. There was little direction, other than downward. Grace was inad-vertant and infrequent, and a successful slide was more a miracle than a triumph. But there was a rich reward in laughter from -himself and his fellows when the curved staves club into the snow to throw a rider into a drift, or when the rockered boards raced out from under him. The game was an invitation to light-hearted merriment, f b rough bumps cheerfully taken. And though it lacked the possibilities of smooth perfection, of elegance in execution, it held a boisterous appeal' A Royal Commission on pulp-wood, chiefly concerned with its conservation, would sit at Prince Rupert, it was announced.
