Some ofthe candidatorial aspects of the provincial election as far as Prince Rupert riding itself is concerned may be still somewhat confused but these will, no doubt, soon be clarified so we may get down to the real issues of the campaign. 1 he principal issue is, of course, what' kind of a government we are coiner to choose October 25. On the one hand, we shall have the opportunity to express our approval and appreciation of an administration which has ably carried British Columbia through the difficult years of wai has kept leadership in social legislation; has maintained the province's finances in a condition which is the accepted example for every other province and has, withal, prepared an advanced program of postwar plans, with provision and will to actually carry many of them out. On the other hand we are presented with the opportunity of sending into power at Victoria a socialistic government which, no matter how good its intentions may be, must be inexperienced and experimental. Whether or not, in view of the forthcoming critical times, it is safe to make this drastic change is for the voters to decide, v Ihe provincial government which weelect on October 25 will have more serious responsibilities, more weighty tasks than any in the histoid of British Columbia. It will be J. H. MAIR important that we should very carefully deal with the cases and the candidates with that consideration, in mind. Salvation Army Appeal . . . War or no war, the work of the Salvation Army goes on but the sequel of war makes it necessary for the Army to seek $1,500,000 in a National Home Front Appeal which is alreadv under way in some cities of Canada and will start in Prince Rupert next week. The sum now being sought is required to cover deficit on operations and to carry on ) the work next vear. !

V. shows that more than 16 percent of the outlay in 1944 had been on rehabilitation work among veterans and their dependents. The total outlay this year was expected to be considerably higher. Salvation Army activities in the communities in which it operated accounted for 33 percent. This work was for the regeneration of people and much of it could be classified as rehabilitation work among the non-veteran population. Another 27 percent was for social service. Under this heading came the chain of women's and children's institutions and hospitals across Canada, the prison work in all large cities, men's social work and the operation of hostels. The balance was devoted to .the maintenance of Salvation Army missionaries sent out from Canada, divisional, national and international headquarters, training costs and the pensions fund. Truly all a very good and useful work to which we have no hesitation in bespeaking the fullest possible measure of support in the forthcoming campaign.

Like many other fraternal organizations this lodge had languished during the war for lack of new members and for want ol enthusiasm to carry on In the face of so many other war-needed organizations but, like other fraternal orders, it is now coming back very strongly. Mr Miquelon organized the Elks Lodge here a number of years ago and feels proud' of his success in bringing it back" into .being as a very active organization. The Lodge Is composed of members from all over the Bulk-ley Valley, including Hazelton.

This Act and its Regulations are administered by the Dominion Minister of Labour, through the National 7in-plovmcnt Service. Reinstatement Officers are available in the National Employment Offices to answer all inquiries, and to assist in adjusting cases. Veterans and employers are both co-operating most effectively, to carry out the intent of this legislation. The general terms of the Act and Regulations arc here set forth briefly. For details, contact the nearest National Employment Office. WHO MUST BE REINSTATED? Any employee, either male or female, who left employment to join the Armed Services, the Merchant Marine, or the Fire Fighters Corps providing that the employee was working for the employer for at least three months immediately before enlistment, and was not replacing some other employee who has been reinstated. HOW AND WHEN DOES A DISCHARGED PERSON CLAIM REINSTATEMENT? Either verbally or in writing, usually within three months of discharge in Canada or four months if discharged overseas. There is provision for extension of this time when through a condition of health the employee cannot return to his employment this soon, but the employer musj be notified in three or four months, and a Reinstatement Officer should be consulted. UNDER WHAT WORKING CONDITIONS IS AN EMPLOYEE TO BE REINSTATED? Under condi-tions not less favourable than would have been enjoyed had he continued on in employment instead of joining the Forces. This means: (a) that the period with the Services is to count for seniority rights, pension rights, vacations with pay and other benefits; (b) returning employees are to be given promotions or nay increases they would have received had they remained in continuous employment; (c) any skill aVcjuired while in the Services, and useful to the employer, is to be taken into account in adjusting the wage rates; (d) any period of mental or physical disability following discharge which warrants delay in reinstatement under the Act. is to be counted as a period of service in the Armed Forces, and as a period of service witli the employer. DOES THEATRE OF SERVICE AFFECT RIGHTS? No-where a veteran served does not alter reinstatement rights. WHAT IF A DISCHARGED PERSON CANNOT PERFORM HIS FORMER DUTIES? The employer must reinstate him in the most suitable employment available,, at which he is capable of working. WHAT OF THE DISCHARGED PERSON WHO LEFT A JOB PREVIOUSLY VACATED BY ANOTHER WHO ENLISTED? The replacement is entitled to reinstatement only if no other person who enlisted out of the job has been reinstated. ' MAY AN EMPLOYER DISMISS A PERSON ONCE REINSTATED? No if the employer dis-misses within six months, he must be able to prove in court that he had reason-able cause. In every Office of the National Employment Service staff members have been given special training to equip them to belter assist veterans in search of employment. All ex-servicemen and women arc urged to use the facilities of the National Employment Service if looking for tvork. HUMPHREY MITCHELL A.
