In recent days it has been trading in New York at a premium as high as two cents. For some people, of course, dollar parity is not an unqualified blessing. Canadian exporters have lost some of the advantage they used to enjoy in world markets. For Canadian business generally, parity means stiffer competition from foreign manufacturers. On the other hand, it means a saving on .the cost of imported materials. Canadians travelling in the U.S. are alstf getting a break. But whatever significance the strength of our dollar may have for economists, one thing is certain: It has served dramatically to focus U.S. attention on Canada. The old stereotype of dog teams and Mounties is giving way to a more realistic picture. Canadians are being seen in a new light as a modern independent nation of enterprising people with energy, industry and "real"' money behind them. ray...

Arts and Crafts Show IT IS a fortunate thing for Prince Rupert that there I are a few courageous souls like Mrs. Ruth Harvey and her helpers who are interested and active enough in affairs cultural and artistic to organize such an affair as the Arts and Crafts show which is now being presented at the Civic Centre. It brings into collective display many of the projects of art and handiwork which have been going on steadily at the Civic Centre during the past winter season and is an impressive demonstration of what can be done by people of special or ordinary talents when brought together with enthusiasm and under competent instruction. And to provide high class leavening there are the imported displays such as the Macleans cover paintings, the Mexican wood cuts and lithographs iind the Vancouver School of Art productions. The Arts and Crafts show' is a worthwhile labor of love and those associated with it are to be congratulated. Now it is to be hoped that the effort will be appreciated by the public by its general attendance. It is a pleasant diversion from the drab, humdrum routine of everyday life. We extend a cordial Invitation to visitors to worship with us. 231 Fourth Av. East Minister: Rev. E. A. Wright, D D. Organists: Mrs. E. J. Smith and John Curric.

This will mean, of course, that officially we are about .to write off the wartime and .postwar inflation and reach the hard conclusion that the situation we find ourselves in today must be regarded as normal. In taking such a step, the Ottawa Journal argues, we are being less than realistic. The old index, it admits, had its faults. It did not take into account a number of present-day necessities. But it did give us a yardstick for measuring the amount of inflation since prewar. Now, with a new base, says the Journal, "instead of measuring living costs from a point where there was no inflation to a point where there is inflation, we are to measure from one inflationary point to another making the thing, politically, look so much better, but altering in no way the truth." There is no question that the new index will give a more accurate picture but will it help us forget that the dollar of today has little relation to the dollar of 1939? The main point to remember is that no matter how carefully and efficiently compiled, statistics like firearms should not be handled carelessly. With nothing but bare figures to guide him, a man from Mars might very easily conclude that all Canadians were prior to 1914 and all were fnillionaires after 1950, whereas a citizen who has just paid his income tax might argue that the reverse was nearer the truth.
