He had served the party in Saskatchewan where the CCF has fead 12 years to test its theories. The result of. the Winnipeg CCF conference where it modified the Regina manifesto and adopted a sort of strad- Sdlzng the fence between capitalism and socialism has 'certainly substantiated Ross Thatcher's thinking. Mr. Thatcher is a business man with hardware stories m Moose Jaw and Regina. As a hard-headed business he was apparently not smitten with the Saskatchewan CCF efforts iat trying to socialize businesses as Crown Corporations. It is true that Crown Corporations have shown a profit but examination of what goes to make that profit does not enhance the picture of socialism at work. The core of the profit-making Crown Corporations include tlie Power Commission and Telephones- department. The rest, the boot factory, and tannery, woollen mill, brickyards and tothers have been run at a loss, not one year but every year. Some will say the bus system which the CCF started lias shown a profit. This is correct but in order to maintain its profit it has sold its unprofitable runs to private operators who apparently are making a success where the government failed. It must be remembered, too, that the Power Corpora" Hon and the Telephones system were in operation before the CCF took over in Saskatchewan. To make the lesser Crown Corporations appear successful, accounting was done on the basis of turning all the govermental money-makers into Crown Corporations so the profit and loss statement ;would be the kind wanted by the CCF. No attempt is being made here to show the CCF has not given Saskatchewan good government. It has, but -like ..Premier Bennett of British Columbia it has "rigged the books" to show how good it is. Such a policy ���will in the long run react against government and what has happened to CCF policy is a good example of what can happen to Social Credit in British Columbia. For any. politician to maintain Social Credit is responsible for the present excellent economic condition of British Columbia��� well he is just prat- ittihg incomprehensible baby talk. Any CCF member who ���maintains the CCF has put Saskatchewan where it is 'today Is talking in the same lingo. Economic circumstance -.'has- had a great deal more effect on politicians than poli-�� itici&ns have had on economic circumstances. They may jtal�� all round the point but they will have a difficult job convincing intelligent people it is all their ' doing. No matter how wonderful our politicians think thejr fere they cannot avoid being creatures of circumstance. jThe CCF party has discovered this and.has decided/...to��������� .Veer from the straight line of Socialism..It will be intetest- Mg to watch how these creatures of circumstance carry "on for the next few years. The CCF has haS a good influence on Canadian politics, a much better influence than has Social Credit. . ��'' ��� H. Merrilees, Mr. and Mrs C. Lunn,' Mr and Mrs J.

FELLOW TRAVELLERS . A speaker addressing a number af ordinands for the Christain ministry said to them: "No matter how hard you try, there will be people you cannot influence - - they are not for you. It may be their fault or perhaps yours, but they are outside your influence." That advice is good for all of us and the sooner we realize it the better. Certain people get on each others Jnerves; the best we can do is to be courteous and kind, and not be discouraged. We can console ourselves with the truth, we are bound to rub some people the wrong way. An English writer said recently that some men who were national heroes had bitter enemies, and perhaps the opposition brought out the ' best in them. He gave a. list of famous people all of whom were cordially disliked in some quarter. Don't break your heart over it; do your best, be honest and straight- ��� forward; remember it may be your personality or temperament, and leave it at that. The manager of a departmental store once said to me: "Tlie last thing in the world t, With, somie people is t0 oyer them. It only embaresses them and makes them ill at ease." * - * ��� * A close observer of life said: "The tragic failures of life have not been because of Sack of ability but because /they did not know how to get ���on. with people- It may be because they were self-willed or .stubborn, but they did not know how t0 adjust their lives to other people." 1 These people are our fellow travellers. We have to meet Uiem often, and there is no use in having them rub us the wrong way. J once read about ,the enemies that Abraham iLincoln made and there were many of them - hut he hacl "their respect because he was kind and fair. He' once said: "I havte never deliberately i ��lacei a worry in any man's bosom." / Life is like walking along a highway. We find others walking with us, for we teannot foavie the road t0 ourselves. Futhermore, twe can- bot choose our fellow travellers; therefore we must learn to tolerate them, to be amiable and look for the best in them. There is no doubt that feach other just as certain certain personalities jar upon plants are said to turn away from other plants. The mutual dislike is so instinctive as to be unconscious. It is not t0 be wondered at that people whose temperaments and dispositions are totally different should find themselves at variance. Yet feuch feelings should not be allowed to degenerate into (bitterness.

Under Forest Plan Among those attending the Sfluare Dance Saturday evening ware, Dr and Mrs Richmond, Mr cmd Mrs W. Dix, Mr and Mrs T. Campbell, Mr and Mrs British Columbia's great forests, nl- ready the raw material lor a growing list of fibres, plastics and chemicals, may one day become a source of motor fuel. From B.C.'s trees it Is possible to produce millions of gallons of industrial alcohol or high protein food for animals or even human consumption. These and other possibilities for rural develop- in e n t in B. C. were envisioned by M. J. Foley, president of the Powell River Company, pioneer- B. C. pulp and paper industry; in an address to the . Vancouver Rotary Club. The* new scientific age of forest utilization, said Mr. Foley, woxiM open up B.C.'s vast hinterland, create anew type of "tree farmer", pour.minions of dollars into th�� pockets of rural Work- era in all walks of life and provide new employment for thousands. But this rosy picture of rural Industrial revolution,' Mr. Foley emphasized, will depend upon th�� vision and wiir dom of present day legislators, on their realization that the 'forest must, be treated as a farm, not as a storehouse of materia! to be used up. .Our legisla- M. V'J; Forty tors, he said, must create "enlighten* ed laws" to encourage thousands oi individuals to take on the Jsb of grow< ing trees for profit. Industry realizes the potentialities oi the future, said Powell River's president; and is willing to invest huge sums in research and long term plana for increasing 'our forest growth. Government, however, should giv< companies and individuals the right tfl buy lands to operate as tree farms and to encourage people by every possible means to apply their skills, not only to cutting down trees, but tto ensuring endless rebirth of forest wealth. Government ownership of all forest land is an attractive idea to soma people, said Mr. Foley. But the public purse could not support government -.-in spending the huge -sums of money which are now vitally necessary to maintain and protect our forest wealth. Public demand, he said, is for tax -money to be spent for roads, bridges', hospitals and social services. "1 believe the time has come when the government of B.C. should begin following the tried and proven pattern of more mature economies, such as in Europe ana the U.S.A., which have a much higher standard of forestry than wo in EC. and in which the proportion, of��� privately, owned land far exceeds the publicly owned." ���The people of B.C., Mr. Foley��con- cluded, must become tree farmers aa well as tree harvesters, if the promise of our forest future is to be fulfilled. * ives spend much of their time in fighting and feasting, it is -fcustomary for each man to keep alive some reminders of his hatreds. Articles are suspended- from the -roofs of ; their huts in order to keep alive the memory of their supposed wrongs: They are afraid that the bitterness will die dcfwn, so they keep bones, teeth, and other objects before them, the sight of which works ithem into a frenzy of rage: Sometimies educated people in Christian countries hav* kept antipathies alive: The great German poet Heinrich Heine kept a "black list" which contained the names of all who he believed had injur ed him. at one time or another1 It seems strange that a man so endowed- with genius could harbor such resentments: * * * It is a terrible mistake to keep alive bitter feelings, as is folly to dwell upon the deficiencies and shortcomings of other people. The ^happiest people in the world are those who afe quick to see the good qualities in others and who 'are strong in appreciation. By Ithis I do not mean an easy amiability* but a deep seated conviction, people are invariably decent and that if given a chance ihey will prove their true worth. ',. The Reverend Johs Watson {Ian Maclaren) once published t book of sermons entitled "Respectable Sins". It was a frank recognition of the fact thet in the minds of most peo- pel1 there are two kinds of sins. There are sins which are no1 fresplectable, and for any man to commit them would bring swift and sure "punishment. On the other hand, the author con" tended, there are sins which men do not consider very serious and which one might coim mit without being thought any the worse o��. Such a sin is that of carrying an unforgivin" spirit. Yet Jesus left no doubt whatever about the seriousness* of it.

League made their first bid fwr the B.C. championship by defeating the Park Royal Squad by 5-4. This was the first of a five game series and the locals were fortunate to come out of the fray with a win. The first two men up to bat in the game walked but expired on base. In the field, it took the Creek- ers quite a while to throw off a severe case of "play-off" itus" but after a jittery start and a few errors they settled down to a hard fought game. Royals took the lead by one run in the second inning then in the fourth Wilson Creek brought in five big runjs and that was it. The Royals countered with two runs in the bottom of the fourth. The remaining five innings wtere a real; thriller with only one run scored by ' the Royalis in the seventh. The higih-light of the game came in the last inning. Dick Gaines along with the rest of the infieldi, closied in for an expected bunt which went over his head and Dick took a Helen Stewart special and dived head first along the ground to make the catch, with a rousing round of applause. The next game will be played at Wilson Creek, Sunday August 19 commencing at 2:30 p.m., should a third game be necessary it will be in the early evening of the same date.
