Here are three of the latest creations by top Canadian designers. The dressmaker type (upper left) is of nylon printed- twill carrying a gay sailfish design. A neat one-piece number in crisp nylon taffeta with contrasting white piping is shown (upper right). The cool-looking black and white two-piece suit (below) is another nylon twill which should prove highly popuplar with those who find sunbathing as exhilarating as swimming. Nylon's ability to keep its shape, its quick-drying and lightweight properties, make it ideal for beach wear. 9 1 I r . . l , 1 . 1 k vnGtiiimnis IW PECK 01' HI JBBlWflELI CAPITOL STAKTS THl'RSDAY pert Sunday morning for Kwinitsa, 45 miles east of Prince Rupert and moved another 10 miles eastward to Salvus this morning.

Rolling away to the ocean in waves of shimmering splendor, Bearing a song in her bosom, a whisper of peace in her waters. Sullenly flowed the Fraser 'neath springtime's furious torrents, Rushing too soon from the mountaintops to brim the swift, tumbling river. With plunging maelstrom of flood, swollen, menacing, terrible, Challenging man-made barriers with fierce and pent-up fury. Treacherously the Fraser, sweeping along in the darkness; Crouched, beastlike, in her levees, licking the topmost sandbags, Searching the weaker places; then, relentless, devouring, Swallowing paceful farmlands, the homes of our friends and neighbors. In grim flood-tide the fierce Fraser, the raging Skeena Columbia, Flowing above rich meadows, the toil and t he travail of thousands; While tirelessly still the battle wages, twixt man and the rushing waters, That our valleys may smile in the years to be and peace return to the Fraser.
