1910 — PRINCE RUPERT DAILY NEWS — 1963 An independent newspaper devoted to the upbuilding , of Prince Rupert and Northern and Central British Columbla, A’ member of the Canadian Press — Audit Bureau of Circulation Canadian Daily Newspaper Publishers Association Published by The Prince Rupert Daily News Limited John F. Magor President Authorized as Second Class Mail by the post Office Department, Ottawa, and for payment of postage in cash, THURSDAY, JANUARY 10, 1963 | We deserve fair “fhe acute drop in grain shipments _ from Prince Rupert last year com- pared to that of 1961 as announced ‘Tuesday by the Vancouver Merchants dcxchange seems to bring about a dis- ‘tinct indication that this port has once again been overlooked. The Vancouver report shows that shipments from this terminus in 1962 amounted to 5,257,791 bushels but that during the previous year a total of 14,728,556 bushels were moved from here, constituting a reduction of 9- ‘470,765 or roughly one-third. This drop would normally appear ‘to be quite natural if such was the ‘case with the other ports named in whe report of shipments. But in com- parison, Vancouver with 156,950,821 aushels in 1962 was down only 5,639,- 268 from its 1961 total of 162,590,089. “ven at that, in proportion, it’s just ‘slightly more than half of Prince Ru- wert’s. Victoria showed a decrease of ’, 149,331 over its 1961 figures, still not aeally an appreciable cut such as here. « It's quite evident that somewhere “long the line the Government Grain gclevator at Prince Rupert got lost in whe shuffle as the above figures show wt to have taken a much greater slice mlongside the two others, particularly aVancouver, r ‘It couldn’t possibly be that the svrain facilities in this port would have wntered the picture because the year 2prior the government must have been pleased to some extent to ship almost three times as much as this last year. ;With this of course, comes a drop Jn manpower and decrease in the city’s aconomy, although it may not have apeen felt that much because of a tre- smendous fishing season and generally 1 all round better year for Prince upert—apart from grain. This does * id (aa vi Bs ae: c Recession . qGs share of grain pie not go to say it couldn't have been an even better year and more profitable to Jongshoremen, or those who must depend on the elevator for their live- lihood. Works Minister I. Davie Fulton, in his visit to Prince Rupert Tuesday, told this newspaper that in talks with the Minister of Agriculture, Alvin Hamilton, he found the latter to be “aware of the desire to see Prince Rupert utilized and has been directing shipments of grain to the orient through this port.” Mr. Fulton said it would be his “policy and desire” to see this city and port utilized “to the fullest extent.” Now whether or not it was a mat- ter of straight politics is one thing. But the mere fact Mr. Fulton recog- nized this port on the question of grain could possibly be some indica- tion of. what’s to come. Then again it could have been a way of pacifying’ us. On December 18, 1962, Mr. Hamil- ton announced the sale of 34,000,000 bushels of wheat to China xnd that some of this would likely be shipped through Prince Rupert. The elevator here, with its capacity of 114 million bushels, could handle all of this quite readily but it is very much felt that the bulk of this new sale will go via Vancouver. It is naturally hoped this port will get some of it, and should get some. Fact is we should go after shipments like this with all power possible on the. local level. If we'can handle it we certainly deserve our fair share of the ple. After all our city is still on the map of Canada—and on many such maps, it’s in dark print. And we still have an elevator. ..

But that's another story, fine print on Cuba By CARMAN CUMMING Canadian Press Start Writer The preat Cuban erlsls ig easing its way info history with no formal U.S. commitment not to invade Cuba, Two months ago, just after the Kennedy- Khrushchev agreement that broke the crisis, ‘British Labor member Harold Wilson observed pubcly that it would be a mistake to consider the setlement a Soviet climbdown, Wilson, Labor's chief foreign affairs spokes- man, sad the Russiang had “secured one of the Ohlnps they were after —- munrantee of the territorial integrity of a Communist state om ‘the borders of America.” , Tt now ts apparent that the Russians have achieved nothing of the kind.

The first is the Negative Thinking approach. Grip the arms of your chair firmly, shut your eyes, and shout. “No, No, No,” for 25 minutes. After do- ing this daily for a couple of weeks, nobody will dare to sell you cigarettes. Or anything else for that matter. ne The Immersion Method may work for you. Fil] the sink with water, take a deep breath and plunge your head in up to the ears. Remove March 16. You might get a friend or two to slip small explosives into every third or fourth civ- arette. Just enough to PO “pop!” and make your face black. This way you not only lose the habit, but also the kind of friends who get a kick out of exploding cigarettes. This is known as a Fringe Ben- efit. Another proven method em- ploys exercise. When the urge for a cigarette comes over you, ehuckle nonchalantly, and do 15 pushups instead. Inside of a year, you may still be a cip- arette fiend, but what a build! You could try a system I used last month, when I was younger, and reckless. You light up the cigarette, take a few drags, butt it out, and pocket it. One cigarette will last you a whole night, There's one disadvantage, though, After my friends saw mo do- ing this for a while, they got together and sent me ah CARE package, (Anybody wanna buy 35 pounds of dried prunes?) Tapering off is one of the QUIZ Each correet answer counts 10 points, “<6! Wa? ANTI-UNIONIST...” most well-known methods. If you smoke, say, 30 cigarettes a day, then cut it to 29, then 28, 25, 26 and so on. People who use this system often get into the papers: “Crazed rifleman terrorizes town!” “Mad Bomb- er blows up Cigar Store!” and SO on. Finally, there is the “Cold- Turkey system,” in which the victim simply stops smoking. Just stops. I was talking to a dignified, white - haired gen- tleman the other day who rec- ommended this method to me. He leaned on his cane, chuck]l- ed, and told me that the first few weeks were the hardest, but he had persevered, “and now, by cracky, I fee] like a young man again!” Quitting hadn't seemed to cause him any harm. His hair was white, it was true, and he stooped a bit, but he had most of his teeth, and could move around fairly quickly. “How old are you?” I asked. “I'm 26,” he said. Anybody got a smoke?
