POSTAGE STAMP A FARCE We have found out why the postal department has set a minimum size of envelope permitted through the mails — it is to have an envelope large enough to take the postage stamps they are putting out and still have room for an address. It’s not just the size of the stamp that gripes us, but the horrible designs on them — they're an insult to the Queen to say the léast. If there is something outstanding in Canadian History to commemorate such as British Columbia’s Centennial Year, ‘then by all means, design something suitable for a postage stamp, and put out a special issue, but keep it digni- fied, and even then tell the pressman to pull the switch early, to limit the number on the market. Hunting and fishing in Canada is wonderful — we'll go along with that, but to put out a stamp hon- oring “the liars club”, we just quite can’t understand. Most hunters and fishermen won't tell their best friend where they:made the catch of where:the birds can be found, and as far as swimming is concerned, govern- ments appear to be in hot water all the time anyway, it’s nothing new. Buying postage stamps, is one time we don’t want a lot for our money — just one sheet ‘of 5c stamps will be sufficient for a 5$ bill, instead of two. Besides these large stamps extra postage, if they get ay bigger—there'll be no end to it.

A high place among pioneer ‘Canadian women is deserved by Jeanne Mance who; with several female companions, came to New France in 1641 with. the little band led by Maisonneuve.

The fact of the Christian church cannot be based upon a lie.

In the course of the church year, Easter and the Life after death is kept in min@ for 40 days, we also re- member the Resurrection every Sunday. Easter is vital because the ‘whole of the Christian Faith depends upon it, St. Paul says “That if Christ be not risen your faith is‘vain, ye are yet in your sins.” If Christ had not risen he would have been an abject fail- ure and all his wonderful teach- ing would have been in vain, as would His great love as shown in His | life after death.
