At the iame time It hai bade that of the Treaiury of Ontario far eaiier thin lt would otherwise have been. "I am anxioui that the finances of the Provincea ihould be maintained ln a itrong and healthy poiltion.

Germany's second largest port and an Important aircraft manufacturing centre, Bremen previously had undergone more than 100 raids. The German radio said British bombers dropped high explosive and incendiary bombs on a northwestern German coastal area, but claimed that damage was "slight." Canadians in R.A.F. bomberi included Sgt. Harry Ivatte of Vancouver who saw a night fighter. Sgt. £dgar Anderson of Burnaby, B.C., reported plenty of searchlights but said they were not too effective on account of clouds. Long-distanco telephone operatori use that phrase more frequently nowadays as they strive to handle the record-breaking load of call brought about by the war. Regular users of the long-distance service will remember how, year by year, the service increased in speed until finally most of their calls were put through while they stayed on the line. Now between certain points the traffic has increased to such an extent that at the busiest hours calls sometimes hava to be held up until circuit* are available. "Why not provide more circuits?" you may say. Unfortunately the wartime regulations won't let us do that because of the material and manpower required. In some cases we have even fewer circuits than before for civilian use as some circuits hava been set aside for the exclusive use of the armed forces.

Cootenay Can Accommodate Some of Them Vancouver newspapers almost daily mbllsh stories of families which are lable to find housing accommodation, lome of the stories are heart-rending. As Frank Putnam, M.L.A. for Nel- lon-Creston has suggested in the Legislature, some relief to the situation might be given if it were more realized at the Coast that in some parts of Kootenay good housing accommodation is available. Families of munitions workers employed at the Coast would naturally wish to remain with their breadwinners, but dependents of members of the active armed forces and people on pensions would make housing available for others if they moved to Kootenay. Kootenay can offer them plenty of healthful attractions, too. Victory Gardeners Can Profitably Cooperate From one of Nelson's most experienced operators of a vegetable garden, The Daily News has received a valuable suggestion. It is that much precious seed might be savasd and considerable waste of energy and plants avoided if neighborhood groups of Victory gardeners were organized. The average person, in the ease of tomatoes for example, plants enough seed to supply several of his •neighbors as well as himself. The same thing applies to onions, to carrots and other food plants. Nelson Victory gardens can serve well in the war effort. They can produce much food and relieve the demand Upon the larger commercial producers, whose output is needed in the large centres. Everyone knows how well a Nelson garden will produce. We have cases such as that of a Nelson gardener who with 5 cents worth of seed potatoes last year produced 124 pounds of potatoes. This same gardener with 10 cents worth of pea seed produced more than a.bushel of shelled peas Aid Coss Far and Wide Canadian Red Cross assistance goes not only to Canadians, but large sums and vast quantities of supplies. have gone to Great Britain, to Russia' to China, and to t'-e suffering in the occupied countries.

Sees Need for Protection From Labor Unions and From the Big Interests To the Editor: Sir—In hli irtlclei In Saturday Night, heided "The Ever Widening Dlitrlbutlon of Our Wealth", Don Stain falli completely to prove hli pointi. In the flnt,place he glvei our economic lyitem credit for having iurvlved win and deprewloni, yet it doei not seem even to occur to him to blame the system for thoie disasters. It may be only In imall degree responsible for wars, but how can he deny Its responsibility for poverty and destitution when there ls no security? In the second place: By showing that a larger portion of the national Income now consists of wagei and salariei than wai the cue 50 yeari ago he doei not prove it to be more widely or Juitly dlitrlbuted. Some ial- arlei now run into millions, some to hundreds of thousands—hundreds of times the average wige. Thli plin to reduce wagei during i depression more thin hu been previouily done could not help recovery beciuse It would further reduce buying power. But we need protection from labor unions, as much as from big business md financial interests, In some American cities farmers cannot deliver their own milk, but have to hind it over to the Teamsters Union or be subjected to unliwful violence which the police, or thoie who control them are afraid to lurpresa. The actloni of the Muiicimi' Unioni are well known. The icarclty of a commodity does not add one cent to Its real value so ther eis no defence for raising Its price unless It has cost more than usual to produce, like farm produce In an unfavorable reason. To do so li to illow tho rich to have plenty while the poor do without. If it was pot for price control thit would be happening now. The given reuon for price control ln war time li to prevent inflation. But the reaion It meets with approval of the public, who think little about inflation, ii that they iee the juitice of It. Why should the iame Juitice be conildered evil ln time of peace? Ii not the iniwer greed; that a man likea to see others get their iharo provided It does not prevent him from getting more than his share? Mass production, whether by the free enterprise of the few or by a cooperative society, cm only exlit it the expenie of free enterprise of the many. It puti the vast majority in the poiltion of paid lervants. Previous articles in Saturday Night have shown that those who run a one-man enterprise receive on the average a far lower income than the industrial worken. But who wants to iet the clock back? Mass production lins come to stay. What regulations are needed to maintain Justice should be the duty of the government. Is It not better to take the middle course of true democracy and be governed by the elected representatives of all the people than to be controlled by groups ind cliques md unions who have no right to govern ind iro constantly at strife, in which all the people suffer—organizations there would hive been no need for if government! of former tlmu had realized the extent of their respomlblll- lies?

Dr. Borden retraced the hlitory of the Nelson Rotary Club, Instituted here Feb. 20, 21 yeari ago with 19 charter memberi. "Rotary in Nelson has passed through two phases," he said. "During its Initial years, the Club wai concerned mainly with expansion and organization, and in all projecti it demonitrated the Ideal! of _Rotary. "Thirty-eight yean ago, 'Rotary was organized in Chicago on Feb. 23, and thereafter It advanced rapidly in Australia and New Zealand. "It did not advante so rapidly in Europe, and when Hitler and Mussolini arrived on the European icene it died. It ii still alive, however, in Finland, Denmark, and Is active ln Sweien, Portugal, Spain and Iceland. "After the great lou of member. ship since the occupation and overrunning of the countries ln Europe, Rotary advanced In South America, and has done a great deal in cementing friendship between the Latin- American republics ind the United Statei. "The Crippled Children Fund wai taken up by the Nelson Club si its speciil work/ind money was railed by various entertainments and tag dayi. "The second phase came at the outbreak of war, and the Club has devoted its activities almost entirely to war work — it has donated to the various war charities, entertained visiting servicemen, and our lateit effort hai been to aid Russia. "The third phaie," the Doctor said, "is yet to come. It is tile postwar rehabilitation stage, ahd will oe by far the most important phase for Rotary. Our task is beit lummed up in the wordi of Paul Harris, Founder and Preiident Emeritus of the Rotary Club: " To heal the wound! of a war- ravlihed "world, to lubititute (or hate, mutual understanding and tolerance; to create affection where rancor exists; to change enemies into friends and replace excited passion and armed itruggle by good will and international peace this ia the superhuman task we must undertake. This is a task in which Rotary will labor with all its strength, Iri ipite ot the fact that to help in iti achievement we have no instruments other than our principles, nor more strength thap our enthusiasm; we are sure of victory because of the great faith that all ol us Rotarians have ln the destiny of humanity.'
