Mrs. Sommers is putting her love and duty as a wife before all other demands, and that is as it should be. Whatever others may think about it, Mrs. Som- mers alone is in a position to know whether her hus- hand would be able to stand the rigors of the legal pr oceedings that lie ahead as a result of the slander snit he has br ought against lawyer David Sturdy for remarks before the Sloan Forestry Commission. Whether or not Mr. Sommers has a ease is not the point at the moment. We must take the word of those close to him that he is a sick man and that if he is obliged to appear in court before he is ready, the out- come may be far more serious than the terms 5 of case warrant, Regardless of the manner in which he handled his duties as minister of lands and forests, the price paid by Mr. Sommers for his brief entry into public life has been a severe one. In addition to suffering loss of health, he apparently has been hard hit finan- clally. Mrs. ‘Sommers reports that for reasons of both health and money, the last two years have been a “terrible strain.’ | Somehow the feeling persists that if Mr. Som- mers had received more support and guidance from hig government when the critical events leading to his resignation were taking shape, this later ordeal might have been avoided. Jt was obvious that in the rough game of politics, Mr. Sommers was about as naive as they come but there seemed to be little ex- cuse for the conspiracy of silence that sur rounded him when he suddenly found himself under fire. He was made to look like an outsider who had somehow made his way into the legislature unrecognized and unasked rather than as a cabinet member with an im- portant post of duty. Responsibility for his present state of affairs must be shared by others who once considered them- selves as his colleagues. i os British Not Power Crazy T is not quite fair to attribute to Britain only the power motive in her attitude to the Common- wealth. After all, Britain has certain traditions of democracy and freedom. Her greatest grouse in the past stemmed from the accusation that the outside world levelled against her for denying to her brown and black subjects the liberties she took pride in giving to her own people especially because of the element of truth that was contained in the accusation till the year 1947. | —Caravan of India.

ASSOCIATION OF BRITISH COLUMBIA Onan 4 newspaperman some 35 years by of highways that we haven’ Apart from the obvious answer that we do not even have as yet even one coast-to-coast paved road, the. Americans are = far ahead of us in several other ways, — “The main difference is that they finish their new roads in shorter sections. Tence there is no need to hold up traffic for months or even years at a stretch, as we do in B.C. Those familiar signs in) one province of Canada reading “sorry for the inconvenience” wear rather threadbare ‘after you go back over the same road for several years hand running and find the same reconstruc- tion going on. The Americans do not try to rebuild their roads in such big bites. They take a comparative- ly short seetion, rebuild it com- pletely, and have it open for traffic before they move on to the next section. BUT the mosu significant thing that is going on highway-wise in this republic is the cutting through of wide new limited ac- cess speedways as entranees and exits to and from the big cities. New York and Los Angeles pioneered this new type of road- way, but others such as Spokane, are now following suit. If we in Vancouver were really keeping up with the Joneses in- this matter, if we were abreast of our American - cousins, we would be slashing an eight or 12-lane highway clean through the city of Vancouver end far east and south of New West- minster. This superway would be built on the same lines as Hitler built his super-roads across Germany. There would not be a single level crossing, nor a single stop light in the whole stretch. Moreover, you could neither get onto it nor off it, except by cloverieaf turnofts. Such a road, of course, would cost a considerable sum. But as we are giong to have to Suild it in the end, why not save money |Py building it in the beginning? —o | WHEN I fir St began to work as a samen ago the then editor of the old Toronto Globe, Mr. S.

He had all the faets and fig- ures to show that the cheapest form of construction was by the cut-and-cover method. . But although his arguments were as unanswerable as they were logical they fell on deaf ears. He simply could not move the deadwelght of standpat op- inion. Ten years later. In the great- est depression that the modern world had ever seen, the argu- ment for such construction was even stronger. Fhere were two extra and added advantages over and above those that the Globe’s editor had been setting forth in the early 20s. Those extra advantages were that they had close to a million men out of jobs in Canada; and the cost of construction had nosedived ta a lower point than had prevailed for many, many years. Of course nothing was done. The old squelcher was trotted out “where is the money going to come from?” We got the answer to that par- ticular query when Hitler plung- ed our whole world into war. For then the money appeared as if by magic. If we could not raise it by taxes, or borrow it, we ac- tually did create it by the direct use of the national credit. We put all the million former unemployed to work, and we dragged the wives, the old maid aunts, and even the halt, the lame and the blind out to work to make the materials which we used to beat Hitier. AND that Toronto subway — which a lone editor vainly cam- paigned for at the end of the First World War? It.was built alright—at the end of the Second World War. But I hate to tell you how much extra that utility cost be- cause it was built 30 years after the necd for it was first estah-! lished. I hope history. doesn’t repeat itself in the through-ways we need around Vancouver. PT Scheduled For Housewives In Bristo!
