So you're going- to the BIG dtnce, young man ? Dust the cobwebs from that shiny black-suit so carefully moth-balled away, purloin .a few cents- from the piggy-bank to help pay for � crispy-looking; corsage.
The life history or the complete metamorphosis (the word is from my high school zoology) of the corsage is a pitiful, tragic-
-ally short thing. From ..the moment 'that one buys it from the flower shop, we know that
"it is not, long for. this world.'1 Be it an orchid, gardenia or rose that's painfully bought by the swain, th<T corsage runs a swift, heart - rending passage .into eternity. . '-.'�''�-.-� .; ;
An .outlay of anywhere from

In the 1949 Report of the Department of Labor, one page is devoted to the re-establishment of Japanese in Canada.
According� yto their figures, there are';20,91 0 persons of. Japanese ancestry now residing in Canada. Of this total 9,110 or 44 percent of the total are in Eastern Canada with Ontario hav-mg. 7,800, Quebec 1,300 and Maritjmes 10. On the prairies, are 5,G50 persons representing 27 percent. 3,9:00 are listed as re-'siding in Alberta, 1,300 in Manitoba and 450 in �.'Saskatchewan..-British .Columbia has decreased to 6,110 from a pve-evacuatiph total of 22,000. ;This is now-only j 29 percent of the total as com- ! r)are'<i" to 96 percent before the ! evacuation; All tluse figures are approximate.

Not all the Jim Crow is.south of the border and since it's been the practice of this column ta comment on such incident, a mention of Jim Crow on this side of the line is only natural, Jim Crow reared its ugly head in a small country town named Dresden last week and I'm still wondering how a thing like that can still happen. A popular vote erased al! chances of Negros being served in the town's restaurants.

Xmos Issue Coming, No Saturday Edition
As is customary just before the Christmajj edition, and in order to devote our full time in getting put the special Holiday Edition, there will be no publication on Saturday, Dec. 17.
The special edition, if present plans are effected without a hitch, pur readers will be receiving their big: issue about the same time, or a day later than they would receive the next Wednesday edition. Allowance must be made, of course, for the fact that there will be no postal deliver j service on Dec. 26.
Now, it can be told thai the special edition will cpn.tain' a total of 48 page.s, that is, with the Japanese and the English sections combined, which is exactly eight more pages than last year. And we believe that* thanks to the �contributions of many .writers, we will be able to publish a balanced and ah interesting special edition.
