BRITISH COLUMBIA is deeply conscious of the fact that Victory in Europe and Asia is not the end—that there is still an economic enemy to overcome. But the days of harrowing uncertainty are over. “Peace on Earth” is no longer merely a wistful senti- ment, but has become a reali- ty, a promise on which we may begin to base our hopes and build our lives. We have been spared the actual physical impact of war. For this. and for the safety and security which have been ours in those years through which whole peoples lived constantly in the Shadow of Death, let us give thanks, humbly and gratefully. Bright years lie ahead, for us and for those men who bore the burden and the heat on land and sea and in the air. For them, this great Province of British Columbia, so majestically beautiful, so rich in all that Nature has to give, holds a welcome and a promise, a serenity in which to rebuild their lives and to go on in the peace and happiness which they have done so much to win for them- selves and for us all.
