U.S. Secret ! authorlzea s second class mall by the Post Office Deportment, Ottava Observer is Impressed N AN ARTICLE on B.C.'s remarkable growth to ' appear in the next issue of Toronto Star Weekly, it is interesting to note that much of author Harold Milliard's attention is concentrated on this northern coastal area. Pointing out that the province's most favorable element is cheaper waterpower, rather than oil and gas, Mr. Hilliard describes B.C. development as being sparked by the Kitimat project. He observes that this started a chain-reaction effect which now sees plans being made for the still larger Frobisher project north of here. Another undertaking which Mr. Hilliard regards with interest is the Leduc copper mining north if Stewart, lie remarks that it may lie the first major copper find to be made in B.C. in 50 years. - As for Prince Rupert itself, the writer sees this lort a9 a thriving outlet for Peace River pulp mill and farm produce, once that area is tapped by rail. For the malcontents who look at our future on this rim of wilderness with jaundiced eye, Mr. Hil-liard's article is prescribed reading.

For the first time under the Soviets, Russian women are demarulinp; (aloud, that is) 'smarter clothes, cosmetics and subtle perfumes. As everything of importance in Russia is handled by the state, this is something- for Comrade Malenkov to worry about. The tip-off about unrest on the feminine front in Russia comes from letters to the editors of Moscow (newspapers, which indicate that the women have! something to complain about. It seems that a tailored two-piece suit in Moscow costs about' 1,000 rubles, which are worth nominally $250, but the buyer is lucky to get the sleeves the same length. One . woman writes "We are tired of sack-like dresses, shrinking textiles, and clashing, glaring colors." At the stenographer- level, the accent is on .streamline and "culture." The culture line is defined in the negative, it is not the milkmaid or the peasant style.
