1910 — PRINCE RUPERT DAILY NEWS — 1963 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 Authorized as Second Class Mail by and for payment of the Post Offlee Department, Ottawa postage Ino cash WEDNESDAY, MAY 8, 1963 So what? Mr. Howard reariest bit of news to come out of Ottawa since the election is that New Democrats Frank Howard and Arnold Peters plan to continue their vendetta against divorce bills being considered in parliament. Compared to all the vital and ur- gent matters requiring attention by the new government, this particular item has all the dramatic impact of a sovey paper bag. So these two mem- bers are going to continue their tedi- ous fight! So what? From this riding’s point of view, the subject would deserve no mention at all if Mr. Howard were not its member and therefore its most direct means of communicating to parlia- ment the needs of its electorate. Even ut that, we might be tolerant of the situation if Skeena stood to gain any- thing at all by its member taking on such a large cause. But it does not. This large and varied area has only: one member through which it can present the many issues it considers important and not one of these issues covers the matter of divorces being heard in parliament. The pros and cons of the principle behind what Messrs. How- ard and Peters are doing may be open to argument but it is hardly the duty of this constituency to argue them. lor one thing, it belongs to neither of the two provinces directly affected. And for another, it is too apt to be overlooked in the affairs of the prov- ince to which it does belong. Advice that the divorcee crusade will continue comes in sharp contrast to all the urgent warnings and prom- ises of action made by the New Dem- ocrats during the campaign. In the closing moments Mr. Howard was shooting off wires about items need- ing attention as if there would never be enough time to take care of things. The divorce matter was mentioned but never in the same urgent vein. So strongly does the new govern- ment feel about clearing the parlia- mentary decks for action that it is understood to have proposed a four- party agreement that would permit rapid passage of a backlog of some 700 divorce bills. Apparently, how- ever, the two members concerned will have no part of this. They are holding out for the appointment-of a royal commission to study the subject or designation of a court to handle di- vorces of Quebec and Newfoundland residents. ee, ‘ 4 It is not a stand likelyata equse much cheering among those deeply conscious of the need to get parlia- ment functioning again at full strength. It is aimed at imposing fresh burdens on a Liberal govern- ment, already fully charged with more important duties. Let’s hope the two members will do some second-thinking about their program, particularly at this crucial time. Canada can stand few, if any, more delays in its government opera- tions. “Veh a few, 23. Thy. 4 v y THE PRINCE GEORGE CITIZEN SAYS Too much ado about nothing Two men who recently were given positions of home importance have seen fit to imitate an- uther public figure who is well known for his perversity. ‘This is unfortunate, because the interests of British Columbians can hardly be served properly by VIPs who persist in creating much ado about nothing. fe + + Tom Alsbury, former Vancouver mayor who naw is in charge of the Univerity of B.C. de- velopment fund, is supposed to be serving the people of B.C, — all of them — by trying to round up enough money to develop our uni- versity adequately. He is not doing this job to the best ad- vantage of B.C, when he sticks his nose into «Vancouver city council decision to renovate parts of city hall. If Alsbury wants to fritter away his time, and the time of the public who is paving him, on Vaneouver city affairs, he should resign his new job and seek re-election apain as a Vaneouver alderman, Art. Laing, MP for Vancouver South and new Minister of Norther Affairs and National Re- sourees, seems to think that turning Garibaldl IT’S YOUR BUSINESS Park just north of Vancouver into a public playground is the first big job he should tackle as minister. We suggest that Garibaldi is a provincial park, as Premier Bennett jealously reminds everyone. Therefore it should be developed by the province. “ People in B.C. who don’t hapyen to live in the Vancouver area can no doubt think of many worthwhile projects that would be much more beneficial to the economy of the province as a whole than Garibaldi. For example, construction of a second grain elevator at Prince Rupert and proper development of the Prince Rupert port facilities, so as to stimulate the transpor- tation industry in Central B.C., would be a far more advantageous undertaking for Laing to tackle, + % ~ Premier Bennett delights in picking quarrels over insignificant matters, especially with federal government representatives.

The industry continues to plow huge amounts of capital on new production facilities. This year the industry will spend $378.5 million, more than any other manufacturing seg- ment of the Canadian econ- omy. It is a tremendous spurt from the $282.4 million spent by the industry last year and the $272 million in 1961. STRIKES Last year newsprint produc- tion -— a yardstick for the in~ dustry — dipped to 6,691,000 tons from 6,735,000 tons, large- ly as a result of the New York and Cleveland newspapér strikes. The strikes which tapped well into the early part of this year will have a further ad- verse affect on 1963 earnings and production, ° Undaunted by this tempor- ary setback and by the ball and chain of over-capacity, producers are racing ahead with plans for new plants and equipment. In 1963 they will boost cap- acity to 8,224,000 tons, 264,000 more than the previous year. Current operating rate is SHightly over 80%. FACTORS The Canadian industry has factors in its favor. Most re- late to the prospect of expand- ing markets. @ Competitively, the in- dustry has benefited by de- valuation of the dollar. @ A sustained U.S. popula- tion increase, (83% of Can- ada’s newsprint sales are in the U.S.), and an accompany- ing rise in the standard of living in other nations points to future increases in demand. @ Kennedy’s trade expan- sion act aimed at tariff reduc- tions will further assist Cana- dian, producers, not only in exports to the U.S., but other countries as well. @ A_ sizeable amount of capital expenditures are for new equipment to replace ob- solete machinery, ensuring Canada’s top spot among world producers. @ Declines in forestry re- serves in such nations as Italy, Japan. and India, which if they don’t buy Canada’s newsprint will require increasing supplies of our pulp. MORE MILLS Indications of a greater mar- ket for pulp was this weeks’ joint announcement by Cana- dian Forest Products Ltd. and the International Reed Paper group cf companies for a $50 million pulp mill and an even- tual operation at Prince George, B.C. Other developments: Giant MacMillan, Bloedel and Powell River (assets $323 million) starts up a 143,000 ton newsprint mill this month at Port Alberni, B.C. And next year it completes a $38 milion plan to boost pulp production at its Nanaimo plant by 150,- 000 tons. Lumber and plywood pro- ducer, B.C.

NEW TREND Consolidated Paper Corp., may ke setting a new trend in the industry to move abroad with the recent announcement for plans to construct a news- print mil! in South Africa. A $15 million expansion-mo- dernization plan at the com- pany's Wayagamack kraft mill is also underway, said Presi- dent G. M. Hobart. P. E, Roberts, president of Canada’s giant producer Abi- tibi Power & Paper Co., said at this month’s annual meeting that 1963 company newsprint sales will be about equal to last year. Price Bros., in the final tune up stage of a new $27 million kraft and paperboard mill at Kenogami, said the company’s 1963 sales position is good and that its newsprint mills are expected to operate at a high level this year. STRAINING Best statement yet in the in- dustry came from J. V. Cline, chairman of MacMillan, Bloe- del & Powell River. Prospects for 1963, he said, appear favorable. Newsprint demand should hold up well and in pulp “we are straining to keep up with orders.” Research has been the key to Canada’s dominence in world markets. Spokesman for the Canadian Pulp. and Paper Research In- stitute said that some produc- ers, individually, spend as much, or more as the $2 mil- lion contributed to the insti- tute each year. Markets too, are important. Indicative of this in the in- dustry was this week’s an- nouncement by Consolidated Paper Corp’s. plans to set up a department of corporate de- velopments to plan for future growth in the face of changing trade and market conditions. 1 es es Lighter side These days the parents of a teen-age boy know exactly where he is at all times.
