the legislature if memory serves us correctly a former official of the liquor board urged the test for drivers believed to be drunk in police court the case against a drunken driver was reduced to a lesser charge because only one police officer testified a few months ago the liquor board announc ed appointment of a committee to study the pro- blem of drinking alcoholic beverages in many countries the report when submitted will like ly go in the slot next the hope report on educa tion recently premier frost felt it unfair that the dominion government took a big slice of the taxes on alcoholic beverages he wanted it all for the provincial government we navent notic ed that walter thompson liberal leader or mr joliffe c c f leader have announced any ob- lection to more revenue and advocated better law enforcement in regard to our drinking prob lem perhaps were all drunk with profits maybe the answer is to do away with a profit from the sale of hquorwe mean profits to brewers dis tillers

record will be brought to a close soon ft the weather which has been acting like a maniac depressive for the past months alternating snow with rain sleet and clear sunny days does not pull itself togeth er we may embark on the perilous sea of a zig jag temperatured spring and that sea may in deed be perilous as the mental case of 1951 weather could also drive residents bere crazy by turning the streets into mud trapsl we can offer no psychological advice to the weather however so we might as well lift our eyes from ihe groundat the risk of slipping on the ice or mud and take a long view of what spring will bring the employment situation in canada is bright at the spring sun at an all time high with 75 per cent more people working in manufacturing plants now than before world war ii in ontario the amount of business transactions is 19 per cent above that of last year with retail trade 12 percent higher about 10 per cent more homes are being built about 30 per cent more pulp wood is being produced electrical power con sumption is up 8 per cent so a spring summary of the situation in cana da is hopeful it is when we have to look be ond our own country that a shadow cuts off a great parfof the prosperous brightness the conflict in korea brings a mid winter chill into any consideration of the future or the immediate past while it is imperative that all canadians i eep informed of the actions of the united na ttons and form personal opinions of government policy still a short view of spring is certainly happier the first robin has been spotted in the district and the streams are flowing full before long shoots will be peeping up above the ground looking over the situation and deciding to grow anyway the trees crops and flowers all symbol ue the eternal hopefulness that man too should adopt close contact recently napier moore spoke at a gradua tion of a vancouver univers ty and m his column in the financial post makes the comment much o the success of this relatively young univers ly s school of commerce is due to the close con toct it maintains with bus ness and to the active cooperation of vancouver s bus ness heads in pioviding the students with access to pract cnl experience arud advice the faculty is composed ol rnen who have had bus ness and fmanc al ex penence there s a suggestion n that comment that n tght well be considered by all universities close contact with business after all the young people who graduate fiom dur universities eventually take their places ir the business world there needs to be a close contact at all times

hour week while still not general is becoming more so every year as increasingly large numbers of workers are demanding and obtamingthe short work week we think that the 40 hour week is a good luea
