A
Momentous
Choice
THE
REPUBLICAN
convention
in
Philadelphia
this
week
is
approaching
the
point
when
it
will
be
known
who
the
party's
presidential
candidate
will
be.
Enthusiastic
supporters
of
the
G.O.P.
are
saying
their
choice
will
be
tantamount
to
determining
the
presidency.
Yet,
in
politics,
no
one
can
foretell
with
absolute
certainty,
for
the
wish
is
always
father
to
the
thought.
For
sixteen
years,
the
Republicans
have
been
wandering
in
the
wilderness.
American
history
has
witnessed
historic
and
colorful
conventions.
The
hand
of
Lincoln
was
seen
in
the
formation
of
the
Republican
Party
in
the
stressful
times
when
the
nation
moved
toward
the
supreme
crisis
of
1861.
In
later
years,
the
scathing
words
of
Blain,
"rum,
Romanism
and
rebellion"
stirred
the
country,
and
in
the
nineties,
Bryan's
"cross
of
gold"
poeech
had
an
electrifying
effect.
The
"result
of
the
present
Republican
convention
might
well
have
an
important
effect
on
international
affairs.

sentials
of

fire
suppres-pression,
said
Mr.
MacDonald.
As
for
fires
themselves,
there
,were
the
factors
of
humidity,
fuel
and
wind
which,
when
combined
under
certain
circumstances,
might
produce
highly
explosive
and
difficult
situations.
Methods
of
forest
fire
extinguishing
were
discussed
the
use
of
water
and
chemicals,
re-
moval
of
fuel
by
back-firing
'and
other
means.
The
speaker
described
a
very
difficult
fire
in
Prince
Rupert
district
within
the
last
fortnight.
A
fire
had
been
caused
in
a
Bella
Coola
valley
logging
operation
by
the
friction
of
a
sliding
bull
block
on
a
cable.
So
dangerous
was
the
situation
that
the
fire
could
not
be
controlled
by
immediately
available
equipment
and,
before
it
was
out,
it
had
burned
over
2,000
acres,
destroying:
eight
to
ten
million
feet
of
timber.
Difficulties
of
fight
ing

in
remote
areas
was
referred
to.

SAY
IT
with
four
bits
and
some
with
a
substantial
cheque
but
it
all
comes
down
to
the
fact
that
it
really
is
more
blessed
to
give
than
receive.
It's
not
so
much
a
matter
of
means
or
amount,
although
both
are
important
when
the
circumstances
are
urgent.
Prudence
and
judgment
are
not
to
be
neglected
and
self-preservation
is
the
first
law.
There
may
be
times
when
assistance
to
others
comes
second.
The

the
greater
the

-
the
ability-

succor.

J.
P.
MacDonald,

Inspector
for
the
Forest
Branch
here,
told
the
Prince
Rupert
Gyro
Club
at
luncheon
yesterday.
He
was
speaking
on
the
subject
of
"Forest
Protection"
and
his
discourse
was
listened
to
with
keen
interest
by
&
large
attendance
of
Gyro
members.
With
the
country's
timber
supplies
dwindling,
the
importance
of
protective
and
conservation
measures
was
urged
by
Mr.
MacDonald.
He
discussed
forest
fires
under
three
heads-prevention,
detection
and
suppression.
In
fire
prevention
public
education
was
an
important
factor,
i
this
being
achieved
by
means
'of
the
press,
lectures,
through
J
the
schools
and
by
legislation.
:
During
the
fire
seasons
it
was
mandatory
to
have

for
'all
fires
and
it
was
compulsory

to

remarked.
