- Holiday Shopping -

Have you done your Christmas
shopping yet? If not it is time:
to get busy. Look up the adver-
tisements in this issue ‘and you
will find a lot of helps. Some of
the merchants are asking - you to
patronize their stores. They are
showing just what you want. It
ig no use saying ‘times ‘are hard’
because they are not. In fact it
is easier to get along here thanin
any other part of the provinee.
There is no one out of a job and
there is more work than workers.
Vancouver and Victoria report
thousands out of work but that
only represents those who. apply
to the government employment
agencies. There are thousands
more idie people in the south. In
the north times are good and all
are doing well. This Christmas
should be the best and happiest
the north has seen in years. So
you might just as weil straighten
out the kinks now and start buy-
ing those things that will carry
pleasant thoughts to your friends
and give happiness to the child-
ren. It is not long since you
were-a kid yourself ana looked
forward to Christmas.

Roads
It would be of some assistance
to this district were the minister
of public works and a crowd of
the southern road hogs to be put
into this district at the present
or any time since last summer.
After travelling over the roads in
the south and on Vancouver Isle
