AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER
“THANK YOU.”
Two little words that make
the world run more smoothly,
that ease the hard places of
life and absorb many of its
shocks, are ‘Thank you.”
They are the sign of a graci
ous spirit. They bespeak a gen
erous attitude that would not
withhold praise from those
that deserve it a commodity
with which too many of us are
stingy.
The majority of us take too
much for granted. In a land of
plenty and among a people Sf
infinite resources, we expect
much and accept everything
as a matter of course.
Yet one’s best friend likes to
hear an appreciative word.
While a compliment deserved
by an outsider and extended
frankly and generously will
often convert an enemy into an
ally.
Appreciation, like charity, be
gins at home and omong those
nearest and dearest. The
prince of good fellows is a
failure and a hypocrite unless
he takes his reputation home
with him at night and arrays
it with smiles and pleasant
words at the breakfast table
in the morning.
These two little words, “Thank
you,” makes the world run
more smoothly. Learn to speak
them. No praise is ever whol
ly undeserved. Encouraging
words are as great a miracle
worker as this old world
knows.

NEW HOME ATTITUDE.
The home has ceased to be
a mere port of last resort and
becomes a cherished rendez
vous. And the radio is respons
ible, according to a noted writ
er.. If one may eat dinner at
home and at the same thne
hear the melodious strains of a
symphony orchestra, if one
may roll up the parlor rug and
dance to the jazz janglings of
i a metropolitan dance orches-i
j tra. if one may sit in smoking
jacket and slippers and not
miss the evening church ser
vice, there IS no place like
home.
If this writer is correct the
home is indebted to those new
gold-dust twins, Neutrodyne
and Heterodyne, for bringing
back the wandering flock. The
Player-piano, the phonograph, :
the library, the open door, all
tried their skill at vamping
with little success. Where they
failed the radio succeeded. It ;
isn’t guarnteed against fading ;
but the wireless wave is over-!1
working the hall hat rack.
When McCormack and Bori
sang for the radio, theatrical !
producers predicted the early '
decline of drama. The radio is
in competition with late even
ing movies. As long as the ra
dio programs offer talent of a j
high order the radio-owning 1
public will stay at home to
hear and go out only to see.

Salmon River Section
Making Good Progress '
(Western Canada Mining j s
News.) | j
Salmon river section of Port-1
land Canal district has made !
great strides during the past i;

has been developed on the <
hanging wall side of the Pre- ‘
mier ore zone, and with the (
pushing of development it is i
expected that large ore bodies <
will be encountered between ‘

ing. Bush Consolidated has
made important discoveries
and a tunnel is being driven
to strike the ore at depth Sil
ver Tip is looking encouraging.
