Council knows thé exact need in Prince Rupert and it knows just what the city is up against in providing services for the homes when they are .built. . While. provincial housing commissioner J. KE. -Brown may have good reasons for recommending to council that it should build apartment units or row housing subdivisions, it:must: be clear to anyone who has looked into the situation that such a proposal is not suitable to Pyince Ruyert. . These homes that are so badly needed for this city ave wanted by people with families who want to improve their standard of living. They want to get out of crowded homes:so that they can live in a man- ner suited to bring up families in the best possible surroundings. Apartments are not the place to raise childven. Lack of.space both for living and for play areas, plus proximity to neighbors ean produce ten- sion in both neighbors and families that bodes no- good. Childyen should have a garden or yard of their . own to play in so they can be somewhere else instead — of underneath their mother’s feet. A man wants to have a home of his own, with a certain amount of privacy and even though he is renting that home, he can take a certain amount of pride in keeping both the house and gar den up for the sake of a better place to live. . If the city operates 0 on the same plan as it did for the first 50 Central Mortgage and Housing homes, then the lots the city could. provide would be seattered throughout the city. That is about the only Way land could be made available. ° Unless the city - Wish to open up completely new territory such ag that on the east side of Eleventh Avenue Kast, then the government would have. to: be content to put its houses where there is land on which to build.

As the radiantly beautiful story told by Saint Luke puts it “Behold I bring you tidings of great joy. which shall be for all people . . . and suddenly there was with the angel a multitude ‘of the heavenly host saying, ‘Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace...” THERE was no peace on earth when the baby Jesus was born in Bethlehem 1957 years ago, By G. 5. MORTIMER The teen-aged girls never sit still. Perched on stools at the lunch counter, they swing from side to side, kick their legs and flash quick smiles and scowls at each other. They are nervous, “pretty, and very much aware of themselves. It almost seems as though they are trying on various postures and facial expressions as they might try on clothes. They will select the ones that fecl most attention, for permanent use. The girl feeds a dime into the machine, and some “rock” music tumbles out. Two girls catapuit themselves into the middle of the floor, link hands in a brief sketch of a dance, then whirl back to their places at the counter. In quick succession they cross and uncross their feet, dart their eyes in several directions, show- ing a lot of white; smile, frown and toss their heads.

And this is the most sobering! thought of all. The most num- erous and bloody wars which have plagued mankind for gen- eration after generation, and century after century, have not usually been caused by the hea- then, pagan, of admittedly evil powers. The actual score card is quite revealing. In his monumental two vol- ume Stucy of War, published by the University of Chicago, Pro- fessor Quincy Wright listed the following wars between 1480 and 1941—that was roughly from the discovery of America till the Hitler war. Great Britain 78 wars; France wars; Spain 64 wars; Russia wars; Austria 52 wars; Turkey '43 wars; Sweden 26 wars; Italy 25 wars; Holland 23 wars; Ger- many 23 wars; Denmark 20 wars; China 11 wars; Japan 9 wars.
