We think too that the expressiou. of feeling that was observed is one that is being duplicated in every rural area where speakers have less difficulty in reach- ing the voter personaily. Excepting the somewhat vague monetary theories of the group, the principles expressed by the speaker were not par- ticularly new but they are well loved by free people. Looking at the thee main principles of Social Credit, as outlined by Mr. Paynter, a Liberal would say they were the backbone of liberalism and a Progressive Conservative would be quick to defend them as conservative strong points. Their appeal in coming from.a new part is only that the beople are beginning to believe that under the old line groups these same principles are not being practised. . Social Credit will draw its support in British Columbia from a public that want to register a protest against a demo- cratic form of government that seems to have forgotten what democracy means. Nor is this belief held solely by the man on the street. Some private members and party organizers have expresseu the same dissatisfaction. Their work of course will not be fo a new party, but to endeavor to bring back to their own group: the realization that direct representation of the people i becoming a thing of the past in Victoria. . But for them it could be too late this time. The voters may take a lot of persuading to believe that the spots have been changed. The Easter Challenge None of the teachings of Christianity takes as firm a Place in our minds as the promise of life after death, and the Proof of the lesson -- the beautiful story of the resurrection -- is told again at Eastertide. . As the story is retold this Easter throughout the Christian world, there must be a feeling in the hearts of the tellers that another rebirth is needed, a rebirth of Christianity itself. The many lessons that Jesus left for our guidance in Christian living are too seldom remembered in a modern life that preoccupies itself with selfish creeds. Today Christ’s disciples have a stonger challenge than ever before. A chal- lenge to reach out from the pulpits and place their truths into the home, where they will grow closer to the hearts of each generation to come. Christianity’s framework of immortality is as perfect now as it was when the Master fashioned it, but the foundation of day to day practice in the Christian way of living is sadly in need of the repair that only faith and understanding can g@ccomplish. } ; A Clean Appearance In the near future the main street will shed its accumu- lation of spring mud -- courtesy of the local Volunteer Fire Brigade. The contemplation of this annual clean-up has brought a suggestion forward for which we take no credit, but which we gladly pass along as worth consideration. The suggestion is that the brigade carry out this work once a month, with the cost of the cleaning being borne by the business houses along the street. What this cost would amount to, and whether the brigade would be willing to do the work, would be up to the _two interested parties. If it was feasible though the town would certainly look a lot smarter this summer with a well-scrubbed main street, SPRING BARGAINS IN USED CARS & TRUCKS 1941 Oldsmobile -- Low mileage, excellent buy .. $800.00 1941 Dodge Coupe -- Good ... - $650.00 1948 Plymouth Sedan -- Good ... - $1350.00 1939 Plymouth Sedan -- Excellent ... 700.00 1939 Nash Sedan (8) -- Good .. 3-Ton Ford Truck -- flat deck, like new 3-Ton Dodge Truck -- Excellent rubber 1948 1948 ) KEYS MADE Car and House Keys cut at our shop.... extra keys are handy to have and inexpen- sive to. obtain.
