There came opportunity to see the country: where Canadians fought one ; another in the days of 'H5, inspecting fir;,t the river village' of Baluchi', where the rebellions' back was broken. Situated on high ground, ru'i-ged and rolling, there was little , trace of what, al some time, might have been the site of rifle pits. Dwellings and other buildings were comparatively lew and old People were courteous, and more interested In the wheat crop outlook than anything else.

All the oppositionists took great political comfort when it was learned Hugh Shantz, deputy speaker the last two sessions, had been replaced by A. 8. Matthew, MLA for Vancouver Centre. Ah, said the oppositionists to i themselves here it is; here's ' the break-up or, at least the! start of it; the Premier is an-1 I noyed witli Mr. Shant. because! he suggested a plebiscite on ; ! hospital insurance. Will Mr I Shuntz fight back? The Premier, however, quite blandly explained there was no significance at all to the mat j ter, that he thinks it a good 1 idea that all his members should gain some experience as j deputy speaker. j Well, that may be what the, Premier says, but Mr. Shantz; was fired.

It is a project which deserves all the attention .e ean ,ine it. In their present setting, the com-cnts of our museum repose like the proverbial ,iyol! a the i.'ukIi. Attendance figures surest that the ,eoplo of Prince 'Rupert have only a cursory in-erest in the rare exhibits which are in their midst. In the circumstances, this is perhaps natural enough. Anyone in show business and the museum falls in that category will tell you that most of the brittle for customers lies in establishing; the right atmosphere. For a theatre, a handsome marquee, soft carpets, smartly uniformed ushers aVid all the other embellishments of this sort can often he mere '.'r.port::nt than the show itself. iMiu-e a museum is of somewhat specialized interest, in the first place, the task of attracting-the public is that much niore difficult. Hut given an effective appearance' it, can become a 'major asset to any community. , In I'rince' Albeit, for example, citizens went to work to provide an attractive setting for their wildlife and other exhibits and now have a museum which they not only show with pride to visitors, but enjoy going through on their own account. In Prince Rupert we have an exceptional chance to create a museum of unusual interest. One can visualize a building of colorful native design, set, between spectacular totem poles, which would lend .itself magiuficentlp to tins' country with its rich Indian, hentje.:.. Bqsittes making it possible to give the exhibits a more impressive, background, a new building would facilitate exchanges with other museums since there would not be the insurance problems which handicap such arrangements at present. 'Jf 'Prince Rupert makes a determined start at th4 project, there js reason to hope that financial help from outside will follow." But the first move is up to us, and- the time for it is right now.

The court suspended the year jail sentence, but not its order that Hollrigl should be reimbursed. The sentence was pronounced after the court was informed that Burns and Hollrigl became acquainted in Germany, where Hollrigl told him of his stamp collection . Later, when Hollrigl had been captured by the Rossians, the lias Moved THE HOUSE of Commons has been having a fierce argument over unemployment. ! The real dispute arises over the extent and character of the present joblessness: Is it purely temporary and seasonal: or is it the beginning of a .serious depression? Official government figures .show that there were 2H0.000 people totally unemplnyud on January T,i, 11)54. This Is serious, us by the government's own admission it represents an increase of 1)3.000 over the same date for the preceding vear. Bui , the of ritual government figures ! are far apart from those freely' used by the opposition. They i frequently mention the fact ; there are 524,000 job applica-i tions on file in the different 'government employment ser- vices. The Minister of Labor pa-, j tiently, but not quite success- tuny, explains that one person may have filed applications for several job.s at several different offices and hence the job applications do not represent the totally unemployed. THE AMAZING FACT is that t here Is a broad base of .agreement between all parties of the House that is simply taken for granted and never even mentioned: That is, that this country will never again tolerate the scarcity amidst plenty, and joblessness, in a country where there are hundreds of things on every hand that need to be done. The only temporary argument is whether we arc in a period i where things will soon level I off. and the economy once again go forward; or whether an in-j ternational situation is now de-j veloping . which will require much more drastic action to eliminate the present .jobless- ness. Quite frankly, the gov't ernment does not pretend to ' know, but it obviously hopes that the economy will straight -! en itself out without any dras-j tic, or revolutionary corrective i measures becoming necessary. ! - ; HOWUVER. the point is that j Parliament in general is ded-J icated to the proposition that I it is the government's duty to j interfere with the free working of Uk -economy if and . w ben the free working of the econ-j orny threatens to produce an-j other situation such as we had about. 20 years ago. Here are some of the fundamental changes that have been marie in Canada in the intervening period. This nation has adopted the principle oi "sharing the wealth" to a degree which would have been considered unthinkable and utterly impractical in 1933 or 1934. Each moilth the federal treasury mails out, to millions of mothers, cheques totalling 'over .$29.. million, for. family allow-taieK.-Eac.t. mouth the' federal govi;rftnvht'arsii?-."nfalfo-'m4. f other $29' million to Canadians over 70 years of age. These grants are in addition to all the other welfaie measure.), given on a local, provincial, or national scale. Moreover, they are without a means test of any kind. In other words, Canada has put a floor under family incomes. No child and no old person ' is : allowed to live In utter poverty. Canada has accepter! the principle of state intervention, and state support of the private economy, to whatever extent may be necessary to assure an all-time reasonably full production and reasonably full distribution. The world in general, and Canada in particular, has taken a giant step forward in 20 years. The present fierce arguments over unemployment only tend to highlight that fact.

CertHinlv U) firing of Mr. 1 Shantz has started a lot vf j political rumbling. E. a. Lecour.v, past president! 1 of North Okanagan Social Credit Association (Mr. Shantz' i home-town group) came out ! with a politically unwise state- merit: "The Premier has at last l taken action against a man j who has been bucking him secretly i at every turn." And the present president, L. R. Thomas said he's "deeply shocked" at the Premier's ac cusly," said Dr. Wright, "For another quarter of a century there will be a short ! ' age of engineers in Canada." He said about 50 Canadian students will be sent to European industrial centres this ! year in exchange for the same number ol foreign students.

Huffing and puffing in the old Perry style, this gentleman announced It's most unusual to remove the deputy speaker. Said Mr. Perry: "If I , was deputy speaker and was thrown out, I'd consider it a reflection ii)n my ability, or punishment from the pi.rly as a disciplinary measure." Well, there it is; there may be .something to all this, and. again, there may not be, but the opposition is going to make the most of It -and who can blame them? The opposition, loo, took some political comfort from the tpeeeh of Rev. C. W. Parker. Social Credit MLA for Peace River. There have been rumens Mr. Parker would resign his seal to cause a by-election in which Einar Ounder.son, the deposed Minister of Finance, might try once more for a seat in the Legislature. Mr. Parker made mention oi these rumors. He said he'd lil-c It. quite definitely understood that he's NOT goin? to resign that's all there Is to it. Mr. Speaker he's NOT going to resign. And then he added: "Even if there are many people who think It would be a good idea." There were snickers from op-' position benches at this. Why Mr. Parker's vehemence? Wis Mr. Parker looking at the Pre-i mier as he said this? Does Mr. ' Parker suspect the Premier might try to oust him in n tle.speratc effort to seat Mr. Cunderson. Well, he's not going t not on your life Mr. Par- i er is me member lor Peace River and he's going to stay the member for Peace River until the people throw him out which, of course, in Mr. Parker's mind, will never happen, No politician ever believes he'll be defeated. And then, sensing he had given political . comfort to the enemy, Mr. Parker proceeded to discomfort the enemy. He made mention of the Legislature's magnificent new mace. He said it was about tfhie B,C. had a new mace. The old mace, he Wild, wan made for a sklo-show In Chicago years ago. ' -Well, - said - Mr.' ' Parker1 from far-away Peace River, thfre eren't uny legislative sideshaw.s in B.C. any more. Those days are gone, Mr. Speaker! Mr. Par-: ker put it this way: "With the I coming of the new mace is the ' crowning of the glorious fact that this Lc gislaturc was taken out of the side-show business after the general election of 1952." Thut dale, you'll recall, was when Social Credit first zoomed into the government benches in BC.

He said only 1,200 engineers will graduate from Canadian universities this year though there is a demand for twice that number to further development of the country's economy. Dr. Wright came here with Ross Dobbin of Peterborough, Ont, president of the institute, on the final lap of a crosscountry trip on which they talked with branch executives from St. John's, Nfld., to White-horse, Y.T.
