It has beer trated that Prince Rupert can grow
flowers as wel! as any place. The fair is the best occasion
to impress this on citizens and visitors. Flowers are among
the best attractions, many people going to the exhibition
building for the sole purpose of looking at them, compar-
ing notes or getting pointers on what to do in their own
gardens next year. If all help this should be one of the big-

gest permanent lair features.

FINE FLYING TEST

Captain von Gronau and his companions are making a
splendid flying demonstration. They have honored Prince
Rupert by making the city a stopping-off point, the last
place in Canada at which to call. Prince Rupert people wish
them every success and hope they will reach their destina
tion without accident of any kind.

We hope the visitors will enjoy their stop-off in the city
They will certainly find a friendly atmosphere here anc
we hope they will carry away with them happy remem-
brances of Canada’s most westerly port.

 

INDIA ONCE MORE

Following the firm hand policy in India the governmen
has given exténsions local government which shoul
prove a step forward in the movement toward autonom)
without endangering the peace of the country and pos-
sibly of the whole world.

There was a time when mdny people feared trouble in
the Indian Empire. They saw the trouble caused by Gandhi
and his followers developing into open rebellion. Then
came a change of government in Britain and a consequent
change in the policy of the administration in India. The
discontents were made to realize that they could not fo-
ment rebellion with impunity. The policy seems to have
settled the Indian question for the time being.

Spruce For Bathing Suits

 

 

 

 

All “spruced”’ up. Perhaps you wooden think so but Betty's bathing

suit is made entirely of spruce fibre, one-eightieth of an inch
thick. It is estimated that 40,0014 bathing suits could be made
from a single log,

pressions of the recent Olympic
Games by a man who knows sports
J. Percy Page, coach and mana;er
af the women’s champion basket-
ball team of the world
Besides Mr. and Mrs. Page, daugh-
ter and members of the team there
was present Captain yon Gronau
German long distance flyer
In his opening remarks Mayor
Orme welcomed these guests and
asked Capt. von Gronau to say
few words. He spoke briefly on his
trip and of how much he had en-
| oyed crossing Canada 4
Mr. Page, in speaking of the Ol-
ympic Games said that, to him, it
was like a huge picture which could
|nat be viewed in its proper perspec-
itive at first, but when he was hame
ind had time to think about it he
muld say more
The origin of the Olympic Games
|was many hundreds of years ago
jand then only the one race was run
|*hat race would be our 200-metre
| cace of today. But since that time it
ihas grown until today there are
'many different events. In the early
| days these games were restricted to}
) nale athletes only but today in the
}*nternational Olympics there are
}six events for women. Unfortu-|
nately these do not include basket-
hall or the Grads would undoubted- |
y have brought another Olympic |
itle to Canada
| The first Olympic was held at
Athens and this one held at Los An-
reles this year was the tenth of the
modern series
Mr. Page said that although the
equipment for these games had
now been standardized the
roundings and accommodation this
year was much better than at the
last two Olympics he had attended
The huge stadium which took
$20,000,000 to construct was able to
accommodate 105,000 people and
was filled to capacity on the open-
ing day. One had to admire the ease
with which the Americans accom-
ished the seating of this immense
crowd and the smoothness with
which each event was conducted
One of the greatest improvements
over the previous Olympies was the
accommodation for the athletes
For this what was called the Olym-
pic Village was constructed where
1899 othietes could be housed. Here
everyone was treated alike with no
to anyone the only things
was that the people of different na
tionalities had their own chefs
Mr. Page felt a little disappointed
jat the showing which Canada made
‘and also Germany and Finland but
this was probably partly due to the
*hange in climate. The Americans
did very well and the British toc
made a fairly good showing. He
hought that there was ho more
dogged athlete than the British who
|didn't seem to know the meaning of
}the word quit. The Japanese were
Jaleo of this tyne
| Mr, Page thought that the games
jcould not have been eonducted
jmore fairly and that these interna
itional sports were welding people
into being more law abiding and
peaceful and no one who witnessed
'these games could fall to feel that
isome good had been accomplished
and that the money and time spent
|was well worth while.
| Mayor Orme in thanking the
speakers said that the people of
Prince Rupert were proud of this
Canadian basketball team
