Hnry THAT IS AN ambitious project which prominent Vancouver business menliave in mind a $40,-000,000 scheme to carry natural pas from the Peace River district to the coast, letting some off at interior points enroute. It is only one, although possibly the most expansive outside of the making of direct railway connection from the Peace River to the coast, of many developments that will be occurring, and possibly not so long now, as the opening up of Canada's last greatest northwest materializes. Nor do we need to worry too much in Prince Rupert about whether we or Vancouver benefit the nost. There is room for both of us to be sure and if we continue the endeavour to work together in the development of the district, which after all is most directly tributary to Prince Rupert, a port will not and cannot be denied, we shall all benefit. So we wish the Vancouver men good luck in their venture in gas. ALPHABETICAL SOUP PASSIONS still run high and ALPHABETICAL the Second World War didn't help any. Gone are the simpler days of World War I when KP was a man's worst worry. Now he has to decide whether OD means his uniform (of "olive-dral' complexion) or the officer of the day. CIC could mean either counter-intelligence or commander in chief; CO could mean conscientious objector or commanding officer. Haven't things gone too far? Even to be world-minted today is to be alphabet-minded. The UN proliferates into ITO and FAO, ECOSOC and UNESCO. How c?n the man in the street (hereafter known as MIS) give his heartfelt loyalty to a bunch of consonants and vowels? Wistfully we look back to the verbal richness of earlier days of wobblies and mugwumps, do-gooders and know-nothings. Well might the MIS start a Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to the Alphabet (hereafter not to be known as the SPCA). 1 plans to auena university Better English BV D. C.

To apply the former to victims of circumstances in certain parts of the world is not trifling with the truth. It is a stark, a literal fact. Life ceases because of lack of food and for no other reason, but to say this happens in the British Isles is highly questionable. Nevertheless, such a claim has been seen in print and, if It ever occurred, it must have been due to the fact of none knowing what was going on. MalnUti'hion is something else again. It is common enough anywhere, and can be experienced in the midst of prosperity. People who have spent months in the Old Country and studied the rationing and general food situation agree that there is a stringency." Most people accept regular, if perhaps somewhat monotonous fare. But few, if any, are overtaken by real hardship. And parcels from overseas are!" of course, ever welcome.
