Welcome Govenor General

A hearty weleome is extended
to Lord and Lady Byng by the
people of New Hazelton. As a
great soldier in the great war
Lord Byng is always welcome,
but as the head of our govern.
ment and the personal represen-
tative of the King of the British
Empire, His Excellenev is indeed
a welcome visitor, Lord Byng
hopes to meet the loyal subjects
and good citizens of this district
today and an invitation is extend

ed to all to be at the hospital this
afternoon by three o’clock.

It was an unfortunate mistake
that the provincial forestry de-
partment selected American made
prizes to give Canadian children
who are being taught to save the
Canadian forests. Something
Canadian would have made a bet-
ter impression and been more pa-
triotic, or, if a foreign prize had
to be given the advertising of its
being of foreign make might very
nicely have been. removed from
the package.

Vaneouver manufacturers are
feeling pretty good over the ad-
vantages they hope to have when
the Canadian-Australian ttade
treaty isin working order. The.
government might easily -have
included numerous other articles
on the free list and dune no harm
