Authorized as Second Class Mail by the Post Office Department, Ottawa The Students Help Although Alexis Creek school is not a large educational institution as such are reckoned in centres with greater Populations, when it comes to the spirit of service its four walls seem to hold an abundance of charitable thoughtfulness. We are basing our assumption not on the knowledge of the school or its students, but on a release issued the other day by the Canadian Junior Red Cross showing donations made to the Service Fund and the B.C. Crippled and Handicapped Children’s Fund. ‘We of course looked for our own School District 27 and it was recorded that the students of Alexis Creek had contributed $189.50 during the past year. We don’t know whether the amount consisted chiefly of donations from the students or whether they had put on little socials to raise the money, but we thought it was a pretty good showing for a school that at the beginning of this year’s term had an enrollment of 20. We thought it was even more impressive when we check- ed this rural school’s total of donations to the funds designated against the list from the Vancouver schools. Only five schools in Vancouver had topped Alexis Creek. The money that is raised in the schools in this manner goes to the Service Fund, through which Canadian school boys and girls unite their efforts to help needy and suffering chil- dren in other lands; and to the Crippled and Handicapped Children’s Fund through which B.C.’s school children help physically handicapped children in their own province. This spirit of giving that others less fortunate than our- selves may be helped over the rough spots in the road is a good one to cultivate in the formative years of our children. ' The students of two of the very small schools that dot our large district should be mentioned too for their work for the: Junior Red Cross, and these are Canim Lake Bast and Glencoe. Hall Rental 1s Out To those of our readers who might have shared our in- terest in the Village Hall rental question, we have received the auswer to our last week’s question from Chairman Alastair Mackenzie. The resolution is still on the books, but the idea of charging rental for village property by resolution is unconsti- tutional, states Mr. Mackenzie. Back in July the advice of the now village solicitor was sought and his opinion at that time concurred with the chair- man’s view, that is that it would be necessary for the commis- sion to pass a by-law in order to charge rent. This could hardly be done though and still follow the, commissioners’ line of i —— ae : not, depending on the reason for their existence. fais i by-law would be termed ‘discriminatory’ by Victoria. 5 me Are They Plotting? Several citizens have pointed to a paragraph in last week’s story about the development of the PGH’s yards at Prince George as bearing all the signs of ‘writing on the wall.’ The story explained that as the Quesnel-Prince George extension was still on a “railroad under construction’ basis, erews working on trains over the line will operate only as far south as Two Mile Flat, just north of Quesnel. Scenting a deep plot on the part of our neighbor to the immediate north, these citizens are crying the alarm. We're about to witness another case of Quesnel snitching something worthwhile from Williams Lake, they warn. The ‘something’ in this instance is our status on the PGE as a divisional point. Our Board of Trade can doubtless be expected to keep a weather eye on any possible developments like this. Christmas Seals Help The tuberculosis death rate in Canada for 1951 was 24.5 per 100,000 population. This is the lowest tuberculosis rate in our history and is less than half the rate for 1941. The sad feature in this otherwise bright picture is that the drop in death rate has not been matched by a drop in the incidence or amount of tuberculosis. Improved methods of treatment and sustained programs to find cases earlier have been responsible for the declining mortality. But TB is a com- municable and therefore preventable disease, and with 18,000 patients in Canadian sanatoria and an appreciable number not in hospital, there is much to be done in the field of prevention. Funds for this work are contributed in a large measure through the sale of Christmas Seals. So when you make a donation for the sheet of these bright seals that have been sent to your house, you are taking part in an unceasing fight against the disease that is still the first cause of death in the age group from 15 to 45.
