J. Sheridan, executive secretary of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce. A growing mistrust of Chr.s- - VKtto UP C- f.. rur summer HERE ARE MKT a r OF THE GOOD VAlJ wens rure Wool sPul nanny was pointed out as one Mrament and temper of JACKETS blue and ;teg $ 30.00. a of the chief inroads being ma';e into the Canadian way of life. Mr. Sheridan alluded to statements in both Marx's "Das Kao- whole community can b chanced by the Chamber ot Commerce. "That is the spirit that can save our freedom' he weather has been general over 1 1 the three prairie provinces and seeding to a great extent has been delayed, according to the weekly crop report of the Department of agriculture of the Canadian National Railways. Seeding of grain in southern Manitoba will be general this week, while In Central and northern Manitoba seeding is already general with approximately 40 percent of wheat already seeded. In Saskatchewan and Alberta, seeding of wheat Is general and in some places 75 percent to 100 percent completed. Moisture conditions in Manitoba, Northern Saskatchewan and Northern Alberta are satisfactory, but In central and southern Alberta more rains are required to give early germination of crops already seeded. In the Okanagnn Valley, wea-the during the past week has been fairly cool and there U no change In the crop estimate from preceding reports. uai- ana Miners Me.n n.ampi said "We've seen freedom killed to the effect that democracy in COUntry after country, and depended on Christianity for its we re fooimg ourselves if we existence.

He men- and independence." The Housing Plan S INCE the first step that mast be taken in order to bring the new federal-provincial housing plan into Prince Rupert is to survey the need and ascertain the actual possibilities of potential local home builders interesting themselves in the scheme, the city, with the encouragement of the Prince Rupert Chamber of Commerce and other local organizations, is circulating questionnaires through the medium of the Daily News today. Now it is up to the local people themselves who desire to build new homes here to come forward and show their interest so that further steps may be taken. If. for any reason, no particular interest is shown, then nothing will happen. Certainly there is a need for housing in Prince Rupert. Its lack is already discouraging people from coming here to locate. Of course, some one has got to do the building. Just knowing that there is the need but doing nothing about it is not going to help the' situation any. As we have said before, the new federal-provincial scheme would appear to have very definite possibilities here. It provides the most generous l 2 -V ,1.. j.

From SELLING FREE ENTERPRISE Mr. Sheridan told his listeners they believed in free enterprise way of life but did not know how to sell it. He toldof how people on the other side of the fence always had their arguments marshalled, whereas many solid believers In capitalism did not bother to gather together their reasons for be which 75 per cent of young people covering a'ii reilgious creeps manifested doubts about Christianity. He was alarmed that people In North America were drifting away from the beliefs upon which the democratic sys tern was founded. Another point Mr. Sheridan cited as pointing to losing the cold war was the apathy of voters at election time. He said the 75 per cent that turned out at the last federal election might seem a fair "average but he said it also meant there were over P.M.
