Candidates invited to air views on inflation

The Mount Pleasant Branch of the B.C. Housewives Consumers’ Association at their regular meeting November ‘8th, 1947,’ decided to invite mayoral and aldermanic candi- dates in the ‘coming’ civic elections to express their views.

Disabled persons get run-around

The plight of disabled and handicapped persons was brought to the attention of the Pacific Tribune this week by Bob Daniels, secretary of the BC Union of Dis- abled and Handicapped Persons. While the Social Service Adminis- tration regulations provide for a

A petition is also being circulated by the Branch asking for the re- imposition of the milk subsidy at the next session of the Legislature, for reform of the milk board, and for an investigation of distributor profits. Action on these points, they feel, would make it possible for the farmer to get more and the consumer to pay less for milk and milk products.

bureaucratic ‘lecturing’ and de- ‘Miracle of Dr. Petrov’

. In the “Miracle of Dr. Petrov” which will be shown at the . State Theatre all next week, the Soviet movie artists have pro- . duced an inspiring film. This latest Russian movie adopts a theme entirely different from the war-time and historical movies It is the drama of & few lives, done with a warmth, emotional intensity and a forcible delineation of character which the public are sure to enjoy. : °

Three doctors, veterans of the war, determine to find a cure for nerve paralysis, which is linked closely with the battle to cure infantile paralysis, The conflict between their personnel lives, loves, and the demands of scientific research is told with vitality, humor, and a reality which few films acheive. :

The fine performance of all characters, expert casting and wonderful directing, together with specially good English sub- titles, go to make “The Miracle of Dr. Petrov” an exceptional film. For those interested in science it has special scenes of interest, On the whole it is an intensly human drama. All next week at the State Theatre.
