Time ciii.tiaiikru ner oy rv Our Changing Weather RUPERT gets a nice and somewhat PRINCE unexpected compliment in a new book about the weather. Written by an American economist, William J. Baxter, and called "Today's Revolution i'i Weather," the book submits evidence that the climate of the world is changing. Its theme is that the northern hemisphere's cokl zones are becoming much warmer and that this trend will change the economic map of the world, especially North America. Getting down to eases, Mr. Baxter then selects three ports in North America as having- above all a great future in the years ahead. They are Prince Rupert, Vancouver and Seattle. " This is a very discerning observation on tlV part of Mr. Baxter. Sometimes we who live here are accused of romancing when we get optimistic about our own locality. We are handed the old argument that all the arrows on the map always seem to point to your own home town. But the same criticism cannot apply to Mi-. Baxter. He has made a detached scientific deduction from a new angle. It is becoming more evident all the time that the. arrows on the map do, after all, point this way. mg: in me worm, Madame, li THREE'S A CROWD By Charles . Grassiek in Toronto Telegram. world.

Next time you're in Victoria you should make a point of seeing this hou.se. I was fortunate enough to see the potlatch, and it was indeed memorable. I shall not soon forget the setting, and the scene the bonfire in the centre of the house, no chimney, the smoke being drawn up to an opening in the roof, and there was smoke in our eyes, too.

Everyone appreciated your greetings and good cheer. ,' During your journey through the hospital wards, your lively spirits never flagged, or if they did at times no one noticed. You scored a triumph. Members of the staff, in particular the doctors, marvelled at your exuberant metabolism and robust muscle tone after that long and chilly ride behind reindeer all the way from the North Pole! All of us look forward to your visit next Christmas. Happily, a great many of our patients will be well and at home by that time, but then Santa visits homes as well as hospitals.
