After

Mile
Trailer
Trip
With
7,000
miles
of
highway
behind
them
and
the
promised
land
of
Alaska
just
ahead,
Mr.
and
Mrs.
David
White
and
their
three
children
of
Dartmouth,
Massachusetts,
halted
their
car
and
huge
trailer
in
front
of
Prince
Rupert's
federal
building
Friday
afternoon
and
wondered
auto
camp.
They
found
a
place
to
park
their
3a-ton
trailer
but
it
wasn't
an
auto
camp.
Prince
Rupert
does
not
have
one.
It
was
at
a
former
Canadian
army
camp
on
Eleventh
Avenue
where
they
plan
.
to
stay
until
they
leave
for
Ketchikan
by
boat
on
Monday.
The
family,
Mr.
White
and
his
wife,
and
son,
David,
Jr.,
14,
and
daughters,
Evelyn,
12,
and
Mattie,
7,
plan
to
live
in
Ketchikan
for
at
least
a
year
and
Mr.
White
does
not
feel
that
ho
will
have
much
trouble
getting
established
In
the
Al

city.
"I've

mouth
for
a
number
of
years,"
Mr.
White
said.
"I
understand
that
Ketchikan
is
a
fishing
town,
too."
The
family
left
the
southern
Massachusetts
city
on
June
23,
Just
after
school
closed
for
the
youngsters.
;
They
travelled
leisurely,
towing
the
25-foot
by
eight-foot
trailer
behind
their
1041
Ford
coupe.
They
visited
Niagara
Falls,
Rushmore
Park,
South
Dakota,
Yellowstone
Park,
and
other
beauty
spots
In
the
United
States.
"You
have
learned
more
geog

In
the
last
six
weeks
than
you
did
in
school.
Haven't
you?"
Mr.
White
asked
his
son.
"We
sure
have,"
replied
David,
Jr.
"And
we
enjoyed
it,
too."
The
Whites
had
very
little
car
trouble
on
the
trip,
and
only
one
flat
tire.
However,
the
Canadian
leg
of
the
Journey
was
beset
with
warnings
that
they
could
not
get
through
to
Prince
Rupert.
"A1
man
in
the
Canadian
National
office
in
Seattle
told
us
that
wc
could
not
get
through
to
Prince
Rupert,"
Mr,
White
reported.
"I
,was
told
that
there
was
only

and
that

They
encountered
a
series
of
such
discouraging
comment
at
gas
stations
along
the
way.
The
Whites
not
only
made
it,
but
they
described
the
road
as
a-
good
one,
even
though
they
did
not
like
the
dust
which
Mrs.
White
and
Evelyn
swept
energetically
from
the
trailer
when
it
was
parked
at
Eleventh
Avenue.

stretch
of
highway
for
the
Whites
was
between
Hazelton
and
Terrace,
which
they
found
narrow
and
winding
in
spots.
"There

LONDON
(CP)
Former
Prime
Minister
Winston
Churchill
told
the
British
people
tonight
that
they
could
solve
their
grave
economic
crisis
only
through
a
system
of
free
enterprise
and
asserted
that
acceptance
of
the
Labor
government's
program
would
mean
national
disaster.
In
a
political
broadcast
to
the
nation,
the
Leader
of
the
Opposition
accused
Clement
Attlee's
government
of
failing
to
solve
the
country's
economic
crisis.
"There
can
be
no
dispute
about
the
Socialist
failure
or
its
gravity,"!
Churchill
declared.
"The
choice
which
lies
before
the
British
nation
about
the
form
of
its
society
is
between
a
system
of
competitive
selection
and
a
system
of
compulsion,"
the
wartime
Prime
Minister
added.
