a ae NY 1910 PRINCE RUPERT DAILY NEWS An independent newspaper devoted to the upbuilding of Prince Rupert. and Northern and Central British Columbia, 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 Authoized as Second Class Mail by and for paymeot of the Post Office Department, Ottawa, postage dn cush, 1963 THURSDAY, JANUARY 24, 1963 ~ New survey leaves nothing to be desired but council, chamber must follow it up he economie prospects and future development report just released to the city this week is worth many times ix weight in gold and certainly the 825,000 It cost to have this comprehen- ve work of art drawn up. Associated Engineering Services rid. of Vancouver and D. K. Nau- mann of the Community Planning Di- vision have left absolutely nothing to he desired in this 70-page study of Prince Rupert from literally top to bottom, Although the city is paying for this fully factual report, Mr. Naumann and the engineering company are de- serving of the highest commendation ur the precise work put into this hook which will no doubt prove a pre- cious plece of city property. Cost to the city of Prince Rupert ix approximately $8,000. The greater shave of $16,000, making up the total price of the survey roughly $24,000, ix being borne by way of a grant from the federal government. But the cost is a trivial figure when one realizes the benefit that will be derived by all who live here as a result of the survey. The taxpayers’ money in this instance. we feel, was truly well spent by our city fathers. from front cover to back, this vuide. contains the most valuable and extremely vital information we could ever hope to possess about our city. It can easily be considered a crystal ball for anyone interested in the fu- ture of this northern B.C. community. It gives thorough coverage of statistics the average person would never think existed. Facts such as what Prince Rupert's role will be in ine tourist industry by 1980 and pres- ent day and future figures, diagrams and maps on land development, hous- ing, the fishing industry and a count- less numher of other interesting and very important points of information. Already it has made a strong im- pression on the few who have had the opportunity of running through its pages. One has to actually peruse this report to fully appreciate its value. It is easy to read and should be picked up by businessmen, service clubs, and all organizations as well as other city residents. The city has a limited number of copies on hand and expects to have some for sale in the future. Residents would do well to stop in at the city hall and request a peak. The Daily News started the first part of a long series Wednesday, deal- ing with this treatise and will carry as many facets as our space will per- mit in the next few weeks. To this newspaper alone, the re- port will become a gem of the bright- est kind. It will be the answer to our many hours spent searching for in- formation about this city to relay on to our readers. We are sure that once seen by the many local businessmen and all parties interested the demand will be much ereater than ever expected. For that matter there is bound to be a large number of outsiders who will request a copy or at least a good long look. Investment companies wil] indeed be interested. Mr. Naumann and his company have placed the future in the laps of our City Council and Chamber of Commerce. It is now up to them to take a firm hold on it by following up the suggestions and going after the vast potential outlined in this massive work. The information is definitely there and it points directly to a smooth road ahead if it is used to its fullest extent.

The Suez crisis By FLETCHER REYNOLDS The hot winds of war blew around the globe in the au- tumn of 1956. Hungary was swept up in revolt. But the spark that could have ignited the world was Suez. On Ocl. 29, Israeli forces smashed through Egyptian lines on the Sinai peninsula and began a headlong dash : «:loward the Suez “Canal. At the same time, British and French forces ttacked Fort “Said. The Israelis ‘claimed they were ‘getting even for Eeyptian ineurs- ions into Israel. L.B. Pearson The British and French said they were acting to keep the Suez navigable. But much of world opinion was shocked at what appeared to be an attempt to return Egypt to colonial status. The Soviet Union quiekly took advantage of the Suez crisis to turn the world’s at- tention from the revolt against Communism in, Hungary, and threatened war to “save” Egypt. For hoth the U.S. and Can- ada, it was a time of embar- rassment. Painful though it. was, both countries econdemn- ed the British-French action at Suez. U-N ACTS Acting with almost lightning speed, Canada’s Lester Pearson, then Minister of External At- fairs, presented the United Na- tions with a plan for a U-N Emergency Force, It was quick- ly ratified by the General As- sembly in spite of British and French opposition and — the first of 6,000 men provided by U-N member nations headed into the Middle East.

The U-N forees not only formed a buffer be- tween Tsrael and Epeypt-.- which they still do—but also rapidly cleared the Suez canal of wrecked shipping in one of the great engincerine feats of this eenlury. CANAL OPEN Today some 800 Canadian are on duty with the U-N in the Gaza strip. The last of the British and French have left fuypt and the Suez Canal is being operated smoothly under the Egyptian flag. However, the Middle East peace-saving operation is still cosling the U-N millions of dollars a year and—like the Congo operation-—~hags threat- ened to bankrupt it. In recognition of his U-N plan, Mr. Pearson was award- ed the Nobel Peace prize.

The PACKSACK By Gregory Clark One of my old doctor friends was talking about happiness. “It is a common belief,” he says, “that rich people are happier than poor people I have been the family doctor to a great many fam- ilies in all levels of income, and I can assure. you that happiness has no- thing whatever to do with income. There was a piece PN in the paper recently ‘that Says rich men do not suffer as much from ulcers as poor men. That is nonsene. If it was said that rich men do not suffer from ulcers as much as do men try- ing to be rich, I might agree. “Off hand I would say that the unhappiest home I have ever been in was that of a rich man. And when I try to recall my memory of the happiest homes I have been in. in order to pick the happiest of ali, I find amongst the most humble of homes, as far as worldly goods | Well, . my mind wandering . or even worldly prospects are concerned. Happiness depends more on — health than anything else. And health depends, far more than we have yet proven, upon tem- perament. I am almost pre- pared to say that happiness is a matter of predestination.
