Prince1 Rupert was not remarkable for the wealth and grandeur of the display of flags and bunting on ; her national holiday, Wednesday, July 1. One could perceive the red, the white and the blue. Generally, there was a sort of cold correctness that harmonized with a lack of honest -to-Ood sun shine, parades and music, Nevertheless, we feel pretty fair.

General Election Prontenac Oiltwell is Parliament Hill's official sidewalk superintendent. The Job didn't become hi.s either easily or overnight. He had to win it the hard way by demonstrating Ills superiority over formidable competition. There's always something of interest being done around the outside of Parliament. It may be Just a lawn cutting with a tractor drawing, a six-gang mower. More spectacularly. It may be a re-footing Job In gleaming copper. Or it may be something more modest but interesting in between these two extremes. Always there's a large leisure class audience to watch the progress of any operation. A thoughtful Public Works Department even provides benches for the comfort of observers. Fron-tenac has won his recognition as Sidewalk Superintendent by the fidelity of his attendance, as con-tiasted wth the less dependable habits of other hangers-on. He never misses a day. Even on the rarp days when nothing is going on, Frontenac's there just ttw same. He's learned from experience that vou never can tell when a Public Works' task force is going to appear on the scene ana start a project. During those intermissions when a work party isn't engaging nis sKined pawers or observation, Frontenac engages In conversation with such individuals as his dignity permits him to recognize. The subject of his discourses will depend upon the particular issue that happens to be in the public isPtuSht At times it may be the international situation, upon which he is always equipped with thoughtful, if somewhat nat- ronli!inK opinion.

T T T T71 TTlt VHi-.-nnn inc. un fimuiss, including a brigade from Canada, are engaged in a war to reverse an invasion of South Korea by forces which attacked from north of the 38th parallel. It is quite true that the UN would never have been there at all had not President Truman ordered U.S. forces to intervene when the UN watchdop com mission natl reported the attack. It is also true that had it been the South Koreans who invaded I the North, and had Syngman Rhee's troops gone plunging north, as fast as the Reds actually did come plunging south, there would have been a very different attitude in western countries. Many of the self-same elements which were most vociferous for action by UN to stop the Communists would then ha"e been equally vocal for ..a iiunos-on-Korea policy. But the aggression DID come- Horn the north. The allies of the U.S.A.. ineludinor rtonarf. , ., . " mu" and Britain, 0 did immediately protest to President. Trnni.m when he began to act as if onlv the United States was concerned. We demanded United Nations decisions. And because we demanded United Nations decisions we were comtvlled to "put up or shut up." We put up a brigade of soldiers, with full artillery support. We sent impoit-an naval and air forces. UNDER no circumstances should the loyal UN nations yield to the blackmail tactics of Syngman Rhee. If the Communists will still sign the trdce, even after Rhee's dastardly sabotage attempt,, then Jbe.v-.Vli!lKiultI sign and'make it stick. It is quite true that the UN forces would be in no position to remain in Korea if the 14 South Korean divisions obeyed cders by Rhee to fight on, come what may. The seven or eight UN divisions would be in an untenable position, caught in a really big squeeze between the Rhee men and the Red men. But It is far from certain that there would be any such squeeze. A deliberate challenge .r luicr ui me aumority or the whole UN would leave the UN only two alternatives: 1 They could "scuttle and as advocated by Shinwell, and others in many countries who say call the whole thing quits, or 2. They could help form a new government of South Korea based on the elements In the South Korean army who chose to remain loyal to UN rather than to Rhee. That is not only the honorable thing to do but the most practical thing In the circumstances.

The customs scandals were forgotten. "If the election of 1926 had been fought on the customs scandal there is little doubt in my mind that his (Mackenzie King's) leadership would have terminated within 12 or 1 g, months. "He would in all probability have disappeared from our political picture and 'The Incredible Canadian' Would never have been written." Senator Crerar said tho Hutchison book was "not a biography in any real meaning of that term; Mr. Hutchison had no access to any offioial papers." But, he said, the author had attempted to fit Mackenzie King "into a frame where he did not belong and this appears to be the basis for Mr. Hutchison's claim that King was a greater statesman than either Macdonald or Laurier." Senator Crerar defines statesmanship: "The real test ot statesmanship in those entrusted with high authority lies in the good or bad consequences that flow cn down through the years ft-oi. their actions and decisions when they occupy seats of power."

But, too often, the eoual need for a "tailored" bank account is overlooked. In many cases, for instance, married couples, clubs and social .groups, do not realize the convenience of operating a Bank of Montreal joint account. Such an accour t is held by two or more persons. Withdrawal arrangements can be made as desired. Sometimes, it is agreed that any one of the parties can draw independently to any amount. In other cases, it may be stipulated that two or more signatures are required on every cheque. It's easy to see how valuable these 'lailored" joint accounts art. For household financing, for encomaging family savings projects and for keeping association funds "on top," there is no sounder method. John Wakley, accountant f the B of M's Prince Rupert branch, will gladly explain all the details Of a joint account "tailored" to your needs. Why not consult Mr. Wakley next time you're passing?
