What is wrong with this sentence? "Here is an old adage that Is interesting." which might or might not have been saved had there been a well-equipped and alert coastguard. This is not something to be indifferent about and to measure entirely from the standpoint of dollars and cents. And, as far as costs are concerned, we have suggested and repeat the suggestion that there might be effective co-ordination between the Navy, which everyone agrees must be maintained, and a coastguard service. In fact, it would give the Navy something useful to do and provide them with realistic practice in training" which, under peacetime conditions, is sometimes more theoretical than practical and which, certainly enough, is not taken as seriously as it might be. The minister, at least, did condescend to admit that it was a suggestion that is worthy of serious consideration and we hope he and his department will s?riously consider it. BE CAREFUL OF FIRES THESE COLD DAYS when the tendency DURING is to stoke up heavily and use instruments of heating that may not be too safe it is appropriate to mention the subject of fire prevention. The terrible toll of winter fires, as illustrated in the chapters of burning tragedy recounted in our news columns yesterday, reminds us grimly of the importance of the subject. More than likely there were factors in the holocausts of St. John's Newfoundland and Halifax, with their heavy toll of lives that, had they not existed, the tragedies might have been averted. Right here in Prince Rupert there are, doubtless, conditions ideal for conflagration needing but the Fpark of. carelessness or indiscretion to start the blaze.

SERIOUS RUSSIANS from Europe tells of a CORRESPONDENCE couple of American soldiers being imprisoned for four hours, by the Russians for having tittered when a Russian officer slipped on the ice. A small incident, to be sure, but something that illustrates the difference between two nations. It is just too bad when overpowering dignity strives to crush what is a most natural impulse. If official Russia was able to extract a little more humor out of life, perhaps the world would be nearer to real peace.
