It's a Long Story in B.C. ' VICTORIA. Liquor, down through the year?, has always caused controversy in British Columbia ODEL CARS : War II. Prime Minister Clerfient Attlee's Labor : cabinet gave him almost dictatorial powers over labor, industry and finance in 1947 to lead the nation's uphill fight for economic survival. " He had .more powers than had ever been concentrated in I peacetime in one man in the land that cradled parliamentary democracy. He was "Austerity Cripps," the Spartan who ; urged a war-weary nation on at a stiff pace and simultaneously withheld many rewards for its "labor. He kept food supplies at a bare minimum, banned many consumer goods and luxuries and ;taxed away 40 per cent of the national income. The slender, bespectacled Socialist looked and dieted the part of a disciple of prosperity through austerity. In 1947, when Britain's economic crisis deep-' ened, he was elevated to Economics Minister, and .'assumed almost unprecedented peacetime powers for the fight for recovery. Shortly thereafter Cripps undertook the additional post of Chancellor of the Exchequer. At the time Cripps assumed that office, 'Churchill called him "the greatest brain. in the (Labor) administration." Churchill then was leader of the "Loyal Opposition" in the House -of Com-;inons. As economics czar, Cripps used persuasion ,more than compulsion in his drive for greater management efficiency and harder work in British industry. The severe recovery program was called "a challenge to British grit." " . .' , Propaganda campaigns emphasized : "We Work or Want," "Any question of increases" in wages and profits must be accompanied by a corresponding increase in production," he said. - His program of work and denial made him a symbol of the hard days that Britain had fallen upon.

The passing of a beloved monarch, George VI, and the accession of youthful Queen Elizabeth only a fewT weeks ago linked all the Commonwealth and Empire in a great demonstration of loyalty. The great day, however, is really for the English. The day has been marked in England since 1222, and has been observed in Canada for two centuries. There was a great St. George's Day gathering in Halifax in 1750, and another at Toronto ih 1822. Since then the anniversary has been celebrated each year in many Canadian communities, large and small. ' ' It's more than the feast day of St. George, born a Greek Christian in A.D. 270 and executed on April 23, A.D. 303, for vigorously opposing the Roman Emperor Diocletian in the latter's policy of persecuting the Christians. It's also the anniversary of the birth and death of William Shakespeare and of the British Navy's historic raid on Zeebrugge in 1918. St. George himself stands as a symbol of USED CARS hauling in liquor profits to the ' j tune of more than $18,000,000 a ' year.

He rose to high military rank under Diocletian, and his association with England began when he was ' sent there on an imperial mission. After strenuously protesting Diocletian's harsh policies he resigned his commission, but was arrested and put to death. For centuries the cry "St. George for Merrie England" was a rallying call for English armies on the field of battle, as at Crecy and AgincOurt in the 14th century. It was used again by Admiral Sir Roger Keyes to signal the start of the Zeebrugge action in which nine Victoria Crosses were won. The popularity of St. George ih England has been mounting slowly over the centuries. Although his feast day was designated a national festival by the Council of Oxford in 1222, it was not until the reign 6f Edward II Between 1357 and 1327 that he was named as patron of the kingdom. Since then the celebration f his feast day has grown to rival the observances of the other British patron saints Patrick of Ireland, Andrew of Scotland and David of Wales.
