The bauses of th a t satis- faction lie n o tin th e party but in the man and the vote-proyen confidencdif his people in him, which will give him a free hand to develop such policies as he shall deem fit and wise. We British* peoples are naturally not so concerned with the New Deal and o ther American domestic issues. But we are vitally interested in the possible stand . President Roosevelt w X his t e o ^ fri«nd8hip for U8 might now fed h u n ^ lf strong enough;to make in assisting us to straighten up the terrible European impasse. , , „„„„ As w e'haye.before stated editorially,,the only sure guar antee of world peace is a real union between the British Empire and the: United States, providing both are armed to a point commensurate with the ir resp<msibilities. ^ That before long both'will be sufficiently armed is pretty well assured, bu t there will never be national friendship be- tw ^ n "us' if 'th e " j P**«ss and the ■ ' - the Middle West can prevent it.

' Dear Sir,--^Writing to a friend in West Vancouver, Jack Coles, ' who is fire warden in the Fernie District, says th a t the year now . closing has been a very bad one for forest fires in his area, which, is many miles in extent. He states th a t he watched a fire in the Flathead yalley:.this_ year which reached such propor tions th a t it pulled- u p . green trees by the roots in .front of the fire and raised them two or three, hundred feet in the air, finally dropping them in the ^ e . * -Thousands of larch trees fell over towards the fire,, dragged down by the terriflic suction. The noise was ju st like,a heavy barrage. Mr. Coles ought to re call the noise of a barrage, hav in g served, w ith the' Royal H oge Artillery during the War. He goes on fu rther to say. th a t he was forced to hold on to t^he, grass roots on one or two w - casions to prevent bus being h ^ ed from h i^ fee t. He was quito some distance from the blaze itself when he was^forced to do this. -:' - Lightning appears as one OX the chief causes for forest fires in th a t region th is ̂ year, the actual s ta r t being away back in the hills and obtaining too much headway before the fire wardens can reach it. ' Mr Coles is very well known in West Vancouver;'having been a ratepayer here Mrs. A. E. Young reported on the C o o k in g D em o n stra tio n given a t her home by Mrs. T. C.
