a FOR A PEACETIME PROGRAM

N Monday the annual canvass for funds for the Canadian

. Red .Cross will open in this district. Under the chair-

ie manship of Major A. D. Macdonald and a large and active

“committee, the great work for the great cause will
commence. :

Many ‘persons across Canada are ander the misappre-
chension that Canadian Red Cross funds raised during the
owar are available for peacetime uses.
'. “This money cannot be used for a peacetime program
~ in.Canada,” said Lewis A. Winter, O.B.E., honorary treas-
urer of the society.

While there is approximately $6,000,000 remaining
from. war revenue, it must be used for purposes arising
out © of or connected with the war uncer the War Charities

Cc :

It is for. peacetime pur poses that the Red Cross is
seeking $5,000,000.

Hospitals, Aid to Vegerans, are but a few of the appr opria-

- tions pigeonholed for the 1947 budget.
>» This district has ever been mindful. of the great work

. which:the Red Cross symbolizes.. We have little doubt but
that the quota set will be speedily raised. A brief three

agree that. the work has been interesting and the experi-

Both men were surprised on Friday, and that perhaps,

is the moral for those who hold public office.

of the average ratepayer is almost always louder than his

bite. At first thought we

are ready to rend our officers

heartening financial statements as those of the Water

District are read.

The Review joins with all members of the Sidney Water
District in thanking Mr. McIntyre and Mr. Oliver for three

years of devoted toil.

While Mr.

McIntyre has removed

from the immediate district he will be a frequent visitor,
Mr. Oliver will again find the time to indulge in his hobby
of boating and fishing at his Roberts Bay home.

constituencies, pleas which may
be expected to be heard for years
to come for it may take decades
for the government to build roads
throughout the province which
will meet the full demands of.
modern motorists. The demand
for more and better roads may

_ well. be a permanent. demand for

car manufacturers appear to be
able to improve automobiles much
more rapidly than governments

. ean improve roads.

Two main lines of thought have
evolved about. liquor, which to
date has held ‘top honors as the
most contentious issue faced by
the legislators. Some members
advocated more and better liquor
as a solution to the present ills
of over-consumption and delin-
quency. Others, admitting the
faults of the present system,
thought the government should
go slowly in effecting changes.
They advocated Royal Commis-.
sions and legislative studies of
the problems before any changes.
While review of the present liquor
laws was promised in the Throne
Speech it still remains a possibil-
ity that no major changes will be
effected. at the present session
because of lack of agreement
among legislators. ©

As far as the medical school
goes, it has won almost unanim-
ous backing from. the individual
members although some have felt
the. plan submitted by some ex-
perts employed by’ the University
of B.C. were for too pretentious.
Dr. J. J. Gillis, Coalition member
for Yale, sounded. the note for
many when -he -said the school
‘should start immediately but not
on & grand scale.. He suggested
the Vancouver ‘Normal school
building be used since it’ was
close to Vancouver General hos-
pital. Premier John Hart in his
“policy” speech reported the orig-
inal offer of the province of
$1,500,000 for the building. This
was interpreted to mean that the.
$6,000,000 project ‘envisioned’ by

the University’s experts was out.

Unusual was the plea of L. F.
Stevenson, former R:C.A\F. air
-vice-marshal, ‘during his maiden
speech. He asked’ for the péople
of the’ coast and the interior to

work together for the common -
