It is a beautiful structure in modern design and even bank- ed for the curve it is on. The only trouble is it will be a thorn in our side for years to come unless the gov- ernment bridge department comes up with a miracle _ to overcome the dizzy heighth of the south end and a solution to getting onto the bridge from Main St. The old bridge wes bad enough but this new one is really a dilly. The three feet of fill necessary to over- come the approach to the bridge will have to be a work of art to overcome the drainage ond sidewalk problem it is bound to create. They have already deleted the pedestrian guard railon the south end, Main Street side, in hopes some- thing can be worked out to make a suitable chore from that Street so at least someone is giving th matter some thought. But, isn’t it a little fate? When the level for this bridge was given to the contractor they must have known the outcome and we fail to sea how ‘any government department allowed’ it to con- tinue. We have heard the Bridge Department of the government is among the untouchables and this fiasco certainly bears this remark out. . The, Roads and Bridges Committee of the Cham- ber of Commerce has been instructed to go inta this matter immediately with the District Engineer and Victoria to try to rectify, if possible, a very bad error.

One, which probably does not occur to the aver- age citizen, is that in the long term view we can only hope to hold our land by peopling it. Empty spaces, they warn, are an invitation to come end take what is wanted. And the need for space is a mounting pres- sure in many countries. Misery and poverty in the world’s over-populated fands contrasts sharply with our standard of living. Canadians are justly proud of this stondard of living but here again we are warned that it can only be maintained by steadily increasing Production’ and markets for Canadian made goods. Today our porur Sation exceeds our ability to consume. A lorger popu- lation means a larger home market to buy the things we make, . Last year, for instance, "enough newcomers .reach- ed Canada to. populate.a. city the. size of Winnipeg. This ‘means an increase in the demands of our inter- nal market. A bigger outlet for Canadien apples, more lumber for new homes, more work for the home having any donations ready when they call, Anyone partic- ularly wishing to be called upon is asked to leave their name and address with Miss Emily Kil- lough, phone 6451. build more need for all the things we grow and make, For these reasons Canadians should wcicome the news thot this year has seen the areotest citizens since. 1913.
