Since the war ended the natives have erected more thai 50,000 new homes for themselves and have completely solved their housing shortage. Col. J. K. Murray, chief justice of th? Papua - New Guinea Supreme Court, now in Sydney for trut South Pacific Commission at the Australian School of Pacific Administration gave these details on his arrival. He told reporters that the natives worked hard and built their structures with round Umber in traditional native fashion to suit the areas in which they were bui.'t. They used tool purchased from the Disposals Commission. In constructing the homes the natives used sawn timber whenever they could get it and made use of building material left behind by the Allied Fifees. Colonel Murray believes, the houses they have built with European materials will not last any longer than the normal native house-usually about seven years. W'l Umide,Wj Mrs. J. Sluggard 10.00 J. P.

They have lost thirteen .of the 66 seats they held at dissolution including those of Premier Drew himself and two of his cabinet ministers. Nor can the Liberals, even though they may have one more seat than they did at dissolution, be very happy, for they have lost the official opposition and are now the third instead of the second party in Parliamentary strength. All of this, of course, adds up to the fact that the C.C.F. were the notable gainers in Ontario, increasing their house representation from eight to 22, winning the position of official opposition, electing their own leader, Mr. Jolliffe, and toppling the supposedly ascendant Drew in his own stronghold of High Park, an exclusive Toronto district. 'A return to power of the Progressive-Conservative government in Ontario was generally anticipated by all political observers. Neither Liberals or C.C.F. 'ers had any serious expectation of winning control of the treasury benches. The surprise of the result, if anything, was that the Progressive-Conservatives lost so many seats. With Drew and two of his ministers suffering personal ' defeat, it would appear that the party in this' case was stronger than its leaders. It will be interesting to see what will happen now to the movement, which it is well known existed, to transfer Drew into the Progressive-.Con-servative national leadership in place of John Pracken. The loss of prestige , that the Ontario Premier has sustained will, it is to be expected, restrict him, as a contender for the national leadership. It is to be assumed, of course, that he will be found a safe seat in the Legislature, probably somewhere else in Toronto, and continue as Premier. The result in Ontario will be pointed to by some1 as an argument that Conservative-Liberal coalition is the only means of combatting an evident strong surge in this country toward socialism.

EVEN THE MOST philosophic and stout-hearted will hesitate to resume life in the Fraser Valley without admitting to a. sense of some: anxiety. As every spring approaches,-he' will be haunted. It may be that flood disaster may not occur again for many years. It is equally a fact that it could be experienced much earlier. There remains the disconcerting possibility that, left to the vagaries of nature in springtime, in a country like British Columbia, there will always be a prospect of freshets. It. is certainly not outside the range of chance to foresee another calamity. Which confirms the opinion that flood control is one of the major problems facing Canada. Engineers have performed wonderful work in restricting, if not preventing, the spread of mountain streams at certain, seasons, across, settled, communities. The building of dykes is not the answer. British Columbians know the .Fraser River. They know where it commences, the regions it flows through and where it reaches the sea. To-devise some way to tackle the problem, not at the mouth of the Fraser, but back in the mountains where the great stream has its source might appear to be the most effective course to follow. That suggestion has been made by those qualified to speak with authority. No one can deny that the flood is a national disaster, as has already ;heen declared. This is something that cannot be fojight one year, with the expectation that it will have to be struggled with again. This is a challenge that at whatever cost ,and difficulty must be met and conouered for all time. Office and to Sixth Avenue East beyond Hays Creek where traffic had to weave among vehicles DR. P. J.
