Facilities to far have been
available in midweek in Vic

week-end crowds already have
been overflow in size. When
one thinks of staying in Vic

days and Sundays) have win
dows filled with British-made
merchandise, though the quan
tity is still limited. Sweaters
from Scotland and woolens
were being featured along with
such spring-like items as English-made
lawnmowers, Canadian-made
swim suits and
American-made dresses.
Shops along "Antique" street
display bric-a-brac which is a
delight to any woman with a
few pence in her porketbook
Good grades of China dishes are
Bard to find, however.
Night Lifa Arailable
Night life is to be found for
those who desire it. though not
in such abundance as in San
Francisco or Los Angeles. The
Empress hotel has sedate danc
ing, with iitterbugs an oddity,
three times a week. Bottles
must be kept under the table at
the dinner dances by those who
wish to imbibe.
Restaurant prices are much
lower than in Portland. A medium-sized
steak can be had in
several eateries for 65 cents
complete with vegetable, pota
toes and a drink. The Empress
charges only SI. 85 a person for
its supDer dances, which feature
excellent atmosphere. 12-piece
orchestra and cold turkev plate.
The ferrv trip through the
San Juan archipelago is four
hours of unparalleled beaurv.
The bulky craft wends its way
through the countless dots of
land like a fullback in a broken
field. Even the names of the
landings on the islands are col-
Here it a View of Sproat lake,
to be found on Vancouver
island. It is one of the resortt
recommended to visitors who
find conditions too erowded
in Victoria, island metropolis.
orful: Upright Head on Lopez,
Friday Harbor on San Juan and
Orcas on the island of the sam
name are the principal stops.
Except for the ferry service,
the islands have been entirely
isolated from the mainland in
past vears. although Island Air
ways now provides regular serv
ice. Because of this isolation a
few of the inhabitants have
never left their insular commu
nities, we were told by a resi
dent we met in Victoria.
Some of the 172 islets are lit
tle more tnan rocks, but three
of them. Orcas. San Juan and
Lopez, are good-sized and have
year-around populations.
Golden Blooms Noted
Spring Is an ideal time to
make such a trip, we found.
The usualness of the drive from
Portland to Seattle was relieved
by acres of golden blooming
Scotch broom. The highway
from Port Angeles south along
the Hood canal was embowered
with blossoming rhododendrons
in such quantity as we had
never before seen.
In all. the speedometer of the
motorlogging car showed only
slightly more than fin I miles
for tne round trip, including a
bit of sight-seeing in Victoria.

Can't Break
His Good Habits!
Bert Childera was saying, It's
funny how so many of our wartime
habits stick with us.
Bert likes plenty of butter on hit
bread, but even now he can't get
over spreading it like it was scarce
as hen's teeth. And as a war
worker, Bert used to stick to a
temperate glass of beer on time off ;
and he still holds fast to beer and
moderation.
Same way with Bert's wife. She
not only has no trouble saving
used fats, and waste paper, She'a
learned from wartime necessity to
save every single thing that might
possibly be used again.
From where I sit, it's mighty
good that so many of these common-sense
habiU like thrift and
moderation have stayed with us.
Because they belong in America
along with tolerance, and mutual
respect for one another's rights.
They're habits that have helped to
make this country strong and
neighborly and free.

rich can support them, so what
the heck.
Being rich doesn't always
mean a lot, though. There

yacht, an airplane and three
automobiles and still walked
in his sleep.
Being poor doesn't worry us,
if we were rich, we'd have to
love rich people.
A rich husband is always a
rich man, but a rich man is
often a poor husband.
During the war, the rich g'
the shekels find now the poor

your face on money, but you
have to be very much alive to
