To begin Aith, Bombay is huge, and full of beauty and color. But that's not the main reason. Smith has a servant. He owns one, all to himself, and the cost is 75 cents daily. He makes the perfect valet, as well as the idoal butler. He's quick, knows everything, keeps Smith looking immaculate and feeling comfortable, and itches to run errands.

This is VI IT WAS an ironic quirk of fate that the Canadian, I Army's first casualties in the Korean campaign should have occurred on a quiet hillside in the Canadian Rockies where the terrible train wreck took place yesterday. Sixteen soldier died there and many others sustained injuries, some serious. As the minister of national defence was quick to comment, the casualties were just the same as if they had occurred on the front line of battle and the victims and their dependents would be treated on the same basis as if they had been. Indeed, the soldiers were in the course of moving up to the front line. Had they reached their destination at Fort Lewis, Washington, safely, they would soon have been embarked for Korea and the theatre of war. Had it not been for Korea, the special brigade, of which these men were a part, might not have been raised. They might not have been in the army but at home in their civil and peaceful avocations. As it was they were on their way to war in defence of our way of life against the evils of aggression. They were war heroes even if they did die on that quiet hillside in our own Canadian mountains. A SKATING RINK? RETURN of winter, and judging from the early start of real cold weather it may be another one like it has been the past two years, brings its unhappy and its happy thoughts. It may be an unhappy thought to wonder, after the troubles of past winters, if everything .will be all right with the water and power, and if steps that have been taken or are in process of being taken to prevent recurrences of unpleasantnesses of the past will. meet the situation. We can imagine the right-, ebus indignation, there will be if there 'are any repetitions. But this freezing weather also makes us think of the pleasures of winterthe skating, the curling, the hockey and such things. Prince Rupert over the years has been so accustomed to mild and rainy winters that we have almost come not to expect much outdoor skating or very little to say the. least. However, if the sort of thing we are getting now is to be a permanent institution of the Weather Man here, we might as well prepare ourselves for it and get organized. It is interesting to hear that A, move is on foot to get a rink sheet going at some such handy spot as the Gyro Ball Park on McBride Street. ' It should not take much organization, or much effort at that, to get something done along this line some timbering around the sides and then some1 flooding and you have it. It could be a handy job for some of our local service organizations or .aome person or persons willing to take the lead. Or how about the teen-agers who have been so berated and so defended of recent days? Here's a chance for them to demonstrate their nitiative and their willingness to do. a little work or their own pleasure and that of the public. it AW Hut's 5Uc rubbing salt in an open wound, more than the $64 question.
