1910 — PRINCE RUPERT DAILY NEWS — 1962 A SOS Cem ee An independent. newspaper devoted to the upbullding of Prince Rupert and Northern and Central British Columbia. A member of the Canadian Press —- Audit Bureau of Circulation Canadian Dally Newspaper Publishers Association Published by The Prince Rupert Dally News Limited JONRN F. MAGOR President J. R. AYRES Managing Editor AED Authorized as Second Class Mall by the Post Office Department, Ottawa THURSDAY, MARCH 8, 1962 City must renew its traffic safety consciousness cince December 26, a scant 71 days avo, four lives have been lost with- in the city limits in traffie mishaps. One was a child’s, three others were adults’, Two of the deaths have heen investigated by coroner’s inquests, the other two remain to be probed. The niast recent death came only 2221; ours after the one previous, less than GEN Gays. it means but one thing, Prince Ru- pert motorists, parents and pedes- ‘rians are becoming careless again. We became confident that our driving and walking habits had improved to such an extent that we could relax. We can never relax, It doesn’t matter what traffic death is investigated the human ele- ment is always present be it driver or pedestrian, Somewhere along the line cither the driver or pedestrian relaxes their guard, They: make a move, or forget to make a move without think- ing. Few traffic accidents these days ave attributable to mechanical failure of the vehicle. With more than a ton of metal under his or her control, pow- ered by hundreds of horsepower, most drivers these days make sure that their vehicles are in reasonably good mechanical shape. But if the driver doesn’t think about the other person, if the pedes- trian thinks that he can just step off the curb without looking and all traf- fic is going to come to a dead halt, uceidents are still going to happen and come of them are going to be fatal. Parents have a tremendous res- »onstbility to themselves, to their BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT childven and to the city's drivers. Children should be trained rigidly, not to dash across the road suddenly, not to chase a ball if it rolls across the road, not to run out from behind be- tween parked cars. In such cases a driver hasn’t a chance, no matter how mechanically perfect his vehicle may he. You can’t blame the dead-child, but you can blame lack of training. If children ave trained sufficiently well, they'll he seared to death to act wrong- ly in traffie and that’s apparently how one must be in traffic today—scared, alert, and thoughtful of others.. The same applies to adult pedestrians and drivers. One cannot relax at anytime in traffic. One can drive slower, be more patient, more courteous and more alert but if others are not co- operating it is of little use. In the past 10 years we’ve written hundreds of editorials about traffic safety, being careful, training chil- dren, giving the pedestrian a break, giving the driver a break. People get tired of them, the editorials mean no- thing. But the traffic box on the front page tells a graphie story. It tells us that at every midnight, we have got through 24 hours without a fatal traf- fic accident. It acts as a reminder. to people to he conscious of their respon- sibility to themselves and others and strive to keep themselves alive and keep others alive. Only by a city-wide consciousness about traffic safety, can we keep ourselves or someone else from being the cbject of an inquest. It's a saddening thought but it’s true. Stock market only mirrors investors’ opinions By FORBES RHUDE Canadian Press Business Editor R. A. Daly and Co.

If he hasn't succumbed by then, the first-half earn- ings, usually available by mid-July, should be the clincher. At that point our crystal! ball be- comes cloudy.” Turning, however, to what it thinks the market should do, the commentary says, “Stock market prices may passibly be able to justify their current levels ino terms of what we feel are reasonable price-to-carniings ratios within 12 to 1 months.

W. D. Clifford, the sitting member, was being op- posed by Peter Herman, run- ning as a Liberal. Mr. Clifford was avery plausible speaker, very matter of fact but not very exciting. I remember he had a saying which he used al! through his speeches. He kept assuring his audience that “Everything was in apple pie order.” He was often called old “Apple Pie Order.” He was an old timer and had been an old Hudson Bay Company manager. He had also mined in the Atlin country. He was the man who created the first excitement in Kitimat by surveying a town- site there and building a wharf. He and his associates procured a railway charter to build a railway from Kitimat to the Omineca Pacer mines north of Hazelton. which of course was never built. Peter Herman came up from a fisherman to the proud own- ership of a salmon cannery, store and hotel and had the backing of Simon Liser of Vic- toria. Peter waged a hot battle and he and Clifford engaged in some wordy battles. Peter advocated a plank walk be built to Orwigs. Mr. Orwig, the prandfather of the late Ivan Franks of Terrace, had a small boat building establishment about ten miles below Port Essington where he built fish- ing boats, called “Stranhiem.” He and his fumlily were the to- tal population of the place so it would appear that Peter was bent on getting 100% of the Orwig vote. The pun went round that the best plank in Peter's platform was the plank walk to Orwigs and it was also the longest plank. Mr, Clifford had the back- ing of Robert Cunningham, the father of Port Rssington, and also of the Anglican Church Minister, As Cunning- ham was the returning: officer his style was cramped as he couldn't help his enndidate niuch, at least not oul in the open, Peter had the blessing of the Methodists and thelr parson, Reverend Mr. Jen- cea nee a sae Rem Gr emma et Sr Oe ELECTION - 1908 nings. who went all out to elect Peter, not that he was so fond of Peter but Robert Cunningham, the = returning officer, was his arch enemy. Everyone in town voted, a thing we all did in the good old days, and after the votes were counted, Peter had won. Diamond C Cunningham threw the ballots back into the box and locked it and stormed out of the voting hall with it under his arm. Reverend Jennings. with his glasses on, his grey mous- tache bristling and his hands behind his back, stood waiting for him beside the door. «Well, brother Robert, how do. Nou like it, I say, how do you like it?” Needless to say Cun- ningham’s vitrolic comments were loud and to the point. Things went along much the same as they had before the election, the plank walk to Orwigs was never built and Mr. Orwie had to use his boat to come to town as before. Charles William Digby Clif- ford retired to Kitselas Can- yon where he ran a hotel and store and was the town magzis- trate. He lived there until the railway was built and Kitselas died a natural death, then he retired to Victoria, Peter serv- ed one term in the Legislat- ure and went broke in his business at Essington. A few years after he was accidently drowned in the Skeena. Today in History By The Canadian Press March 8, 1962... The British House of Lards ‘passed the Stamp Act 197 years aigo today -- in 1765.

We all know they are a very good thine. although there are still many of us unemployed, and a lot of us on Social Welfare. I think we are overlooking one very important thing. and that is to get a few of our hundreds of Jakes open for commercial fishing, instead of getting fresh water fish from Alberta. I fished fresit water fish in Alberta Jast winter for only five cents a pound, because they were wormy. They are X-rayed with an ordinary bulb and sometimes: the worms -are spotted and removed.
