WHAT WE NEED.
There are many things we
need in Hyder, but a few are
vital and outstanding above
all others.
We need stability-the will
power to determine what is
right and a determination to
see that only that which is
right prevails.
We need a spirit of unanimi
ty-the ability and willingness
to agree upon what we want
and then go after it and get it;
We need aggressiveness— for
without aggressiveness, indol
ence and stagnation will be our
lot.
We need loyalty-for without
loyalty the other attributes
will be of little value. No cause
can prosper without the loyal
ty of its adherents.
Some communities thrive and
grow because of their natural
advantages. Others are made
only through the dogged ener
gy and perseverance of thein
citizenship.
Ours will be what we make
it, and we should make it all
that we can.

LADYSMITH SMELTER.
•The reopening of the Lady
smith Smelter under favorable
auspices is one of the most im
portant developments in the
history of the mining and me
tallurgy of the Coast of Brit
ish Columbia. While Tacoma
Smelter is convenient for cop
per ores, and has been a big
factor in the development of
the Britannia Mine to its pres
ent importance, it does not
solve the problem of treatment
of low-grade ores from small
mines. Situated as it is in a
central position on the Coast,
and equipped with a custom
mill ,the Ladysmith smelter
will meet this requirement,
especially in the case of those
mines located on or near tide
water. Silver-lead-zinc ores
from Coast mines have hither
had to be shipped to Trail
with the disadvantage of the
long rail haul; or to Selby in
California. When the new
equipment at the smelter is
completed these can be both
milled and smelted and the
metals refined at Ladysmith
as is now done at Trail. The
people of the Coast owe a
debt of gratitude to H. B.
Thomson for the interest he
has displayed in the reorgani
zation of the enterprise. Of
many services he has render
ed British Columbia, both in
peace and war, the revival of
Ladysmith Smelter, with its
associated financing and de
velopment organizations, is one
of the greatest, and a great
credit both to him and to his
associate, Herbert Carmichael.

COURAGE.
Many of us do not have the
courage, or the sense, to face
our own shortcomings or to ad
mit to ourselves and to others
concerned our errors and mis
takes. Yet if we do not have,
there is little chance that we
shall ever be much better
equipped to fight battles than
we are today. Only obstinacy
refuses to confess error and
only vanity declines to admit
defeat. Obstinacy and vanity
are drags upon the chariot of
progress. Unless we cut them
loose we do not get very far.
The same truth holds for the
individual, the group, the com
munity, the nation. History is
replete with instances of fine
heads battered against the im
penetrable wall of unalterable
fact, of fine causes lost by en
thusiasts who clung tenacious
ly to original error ,of cities
stunted because they were too
proud to change their habits,
of nations wrecked upon the
shoals of their selfish desire.
There is no shame in admitting
failure or mistake, either to
ourselves or to observers. We
cannot long delude those who
watch ,and they will respect
us the more highly if we
frankly confess, when we muff
the ball, that it was our fault.
As long as we are not too vain
to face the facts of our con
duct there is hope for us. But
we will never be very useful
to our teammates in life as
long as we hypnotize ourselves
into belief that we have made
a home run with the bases full
after we have just struck out.

Jail Visitor-“What terrible

ago and saw one man shoot
another, and he is held as a
material witness.”
Visitor—“And where is the
man who committed the mur
der?”
Warden—“Oh, he’s out on
bail.”
All signs fail in dry weather,
' but no signs fail in a dry town.

He was one of nature’s
gentlemen, was the tramp, and
his charming smile was his
only asset.
“You look healthy enough,”
said the woman at the door.
“Why not try to earn an hon
est living?”
“Appearances are deceptive,”
returned the other; and he
smiled . his wonder smile
“Might I add that you are
both charming and beautiful
enough to grace the films, yet
evidently you prefer the simple
life.”

ed his battered hat and took

An engineer surveying the

railroad was talking to a farm
er. “Yes, ’ he said, “the line
will run right through your
barnyard.”
“Well,” answered the farmer,

the night just to open the gate
every time a train comes
through.”
