McGEER
may
not
go
down
in
'his-VJ
tory
as
a
statesman
but
he
will
long
be
remembered
as
a
versatile,
dynamic
and
stout
champion
of
the
common
people's
cause.
His
friends
and
admirers
were
numerous
and
sincere.
He
was
a
true
Liberal
in
politics,
in
the
broadest
sense
and
often
in
his
career
broke
away
from
party
lines
when
matters
of
principle
or
the
best
interests
of
the
people
were
in
his
estimation
not
being
served.
Those
who
were
"Gerry's"
best
friends
will
like
to
remember
him
as
the
rough-and-tumble,
happy,
grinning
Irish-Canadian
who
had
the
love
of
a
good
fight
in
his
"system
and
who
could
give
blows
and
take
them
but
always
a
good
and
fair
fighter.
"Gerry"
was
no
stranger
to
Prince
Rupert.
Back
in
the
twenties

with
the
session
of
the
B"6ard
of
Railway
Commissioners
of
which
the
late
HpiL
jrank
Carvell
was
then
the
smooth
and
astute
chairman.
They
gave
a
banquet
for
"Gerry"
that
night
and
he
delivered
one
of
his
typical
fighting

Then
we
remember
"Gerry"
again
when
the
.
Liberals
of
Prince
Rupert
called
upon
him
in
tough
political
battles
to
help

and
save
the
day
and
they
were

He

that
he
could
get
a
rise
out
of
the
inuliehce
that,
showman
as
he
was,
he
would
really,
get
going
the
best.
Essentially
a
fighter,
"Gerry"
was
a
man
of
action
and
thrived
upon
opposition.
It
was
then
he
really
got
things
done
witness,
for
example,
the
great
Vancouver
City
Hall
which
will
be
his
lasting
monument.
"Gerry's"
years
were
comparatively
short
but
his
career
w'as
a
full
one.
He
went
to
the
Senate
as
a,
comparatively
young
man.
Had
he

he
Would

he
was
a
stout
fighter
and
for
which
he
accomplished
much,
he
was
also
a
real
:
British
Columbian
and
a
real
Canadian.
His
passing
is
a
great
loss
not
only
to
his
city
but
to
the
province
and
to
the
Dominion.

MINISTER
TO

OUT
HERE
in
British
Columbia,
the
sud-I
den
passing
of
our
own
"Gerry"
McGeer
somewhat
overshadowed
the
shock
of
the
death
at
the'
youthful
age
of
forty-five
of
H.
F.
G.
Bridges,
the
minister
of
fisheries.
Mr.
Bridges
was
a
comparatively
new
figure
in
the
federal
field
but,
in
his
brief
period
at
the
head
of
the
fisheries
department,
he
was
achieving
note
as
a
competent
minister
and
administrator.
When
he
became
minister
of
fisheries,
his
knowledge
of
the
fisheries
was.
but
;
what
an
average
business
or
professional
man
from
a
fishing
community
might
possess
but
he
set
him-.
self
to
an
assiduous
study
and
research
of
his
department
and
affairs
of
which
With
remarkable
celerity
he
soon
obtained
a
masterly
grasp.
Possibly
the
greatest
tribute
to
him
was
the
admiration
for
his
capability
which
he
won
from
all
with
whom
he
came
in
contact.
Had
death
not
intervened,
he
might
have
gone
far
in
the
federal
government
field..
The
fact
that
Mr.
Bridges
paid
a
Visit
to
Prince
Rupert
just
last
September
riot
long
after
he
became
minister
of
fisheries,
was
but
an
indication
of
his
earnest
determination
io
speedily
acquaint
himself
with
the
industry
in
all
its
phases
and
localities.
.
It
was
his
first
trip
north
in
his
official
capacity.
He
travelled
chiefly
by
air
and
he
saw
a
good
deal

somewhat
