Neglected
Responsibility
AMERICAN
TOURISTS
by
many
hundreds
are
visiting
Prince
Rupert
these
days
and
most
of
them
find
their
way
to
Acropolis
Hill
which
the
city,
in
its
enthusiasm
to
commemorate
the'
international
associations
of
war
and
honor
the
memory
of
the
great
American
statesman,
proudly
renamed
Roosevelt
Park,
with
considerable
ceremony
nearjy
a
year
ago.
These
tourists,,
so
it
is
said,
are
adversely
impressed
owing
to
the
unkempt
surroundings
and
are
adopting
a
"so
what?"
attitude.
They
think
of
"Roosevelt"
and
think
of
"Pa'jj"
and
wonder.
The
fact
of
the
matter
is
that
we
named
the
Park
and
we
unveiled
the
cairn,
had
a
bit
of
jollification
with
a
number
of
speeches
which
were
just
so
much
talk
and
nothing
else
has
been,
done
about
it.
Roosevelt
Park
is
becoming
something
that
we
are
beginning
to
feel
ashamed
jj&of
just
because
we
have
done
nothing
about
making
it
a
.place
to
be
proud
of.
In
other
words,
it
is
developing
into
a
dilapidated
shrine.
There
was,
or
should
have
been,
a
responsibility
assumed
when.
ve
went
to
so
much
fuss
and
feathers
at
the
dedication.
When
Roosevelt
Park
was
dedicated,
the
Daily
News
had
the
following
to
say
and
we
think
it
might
very
well
be
repeated
now:
Z
"On
Monday
they
will
rename
Acropolis
Hill,
"
scenic
height
of
the
city
of
Prince
Rupert,
Franklin
D.
Roosevelt
Park.
International
dignatories
are
coming
to
town.
Withal
there
will
be
quite
a
celebration.
"Nature
has
provided
at
Acropolis
Hill
as
admirable
site
as
any
city
could
desire
for
the
making
i
of
a
beautiful
park.
Now,
to
permanently
memorialize
the
historical
association
of
this
commanding
ground
with
the
presence
of
American
forces
at
Prince
Rupert
during
the
Battle
of
the
Pacific,
the
city
of
Prince
Rupert
has
presumed
to
honor
the
spot
with
the
name
of
a
great
champion
and
friend
of
humanity
and
democracy.
"So
it
might
not
be
out
of
place
on
the
eve
of
the
dedication
that
the
ceremony
be
thought
of
as
something
more
than
a
glorified
publicity
gag
or
a
careless
celebration,
the
responsibilities
in
connectionwith
which
will
be
oyer,
after
the
service
Ijas
been
carried
out
and
the
partying
concluded.
"Roosevelt
Park
today,
it
must
be
admitted,
except
for
the
natural
panoramic
view,
is
not
a
verv
prepossessing
sight.
"In
sponsoring
and
pa-teipu'.ing
in
the
dedi-,
cation,
the
city
of
Prince
Rupert
assumes
the
responsibility
of
developing
around
the
little
memorial
cairn
which
it
presumes"
to
mark
with
the
name
of
Roosevelt
a
real
park
worthy
of
the
name
and
the
memories
it
perpetuates
and
something
which
we
Will
be
proud
to
exhibit
later
to
those
who
will
have
heard
and
want
to
see.
"The
many
prominent
peonle
who
come
here
on
Monday
for
the
event
will
be
better
satisfied
if
some
definite
commitment
along
such
lines
is
made
among
the
words
which
will
be
heard.
Otherwise,
the
dedication
of
Roosevelt
Park
will
be
nothing
more
than
so
much
ballvhoo."
