Although
the
meeting
of

Prince

held
this
week
was
tho
first
in
almost
six
months,
the
executive
had
not
been
idle.
President
J.
Harry
Black
reported
to
the
membership.
Said
Mr.

report:
"We

all
of
these
being

Mr.

reported
that
the
Public

Department
is
about
to
call
for
tenders
for
reconstruction
of
slightly
under
one
mile
of
roadway
from

"We

that

this

The
Kwinitsa

which
was
instigated
by
this

is
now
nearlng
completion.
In
the
latter
part
of
August
Mr.
Black
attended
a
western
conference
of
AAA
organizations
in
Vancouver
where
he
had
ths
opportunity
of
meeting
key
men
of
the
tourist
Industry
of
the
west
coast.
From
this
conference
he
found
out
what
the
organization
was
doing
across
the
country
in
the
way
of
safety
measures,
student
driving
lessons
and
general
tourist
information.
Mr.
Robertson
of
Prince
George
and
I
Mr.
Black
held
a
meeting
with
,
the
delegates
and
for
three
I
hours
told
them
of
the
northern
j
and
central
interior
and
answer-j
ed
questions
regarding
travel
thoughout
this
district.
'
Volumes
of
mail
covering
re-
servations
and
enquiries
were
handled
throughout
the
summer
by
th
local
association
for
many
tourists
here
this
year.
"I
feel,"
said
Mr.
Black,
"your
executive
have
done
good
work
in
this
regard
and
my
thanks
goes
to
them.
I
do
think,,
however,
the
general
membership
of
the
organization
have
let
us
down
by
non-attendance
at
any
meetings
that
have
been
called,
and
also
In
not
renewing
their
memberships.
By
this
'
neglect,
you
are
not
only
hurting
yourselves
by
losing
he
benefits
and
advantages
ot
the
organization
but
you
are
weakening
the
strength
of
the

when
we
want
to
press
for

"I

to
use
films.
The
latter
project
will
eliminate
the
need
for
one
or
two
people
to
spend
a
large
amount
of
time
operating
pro
jectors
for
the
convenience
of
various
groups.
The
meeting,
attended
by
dozen
delegates,
appointed
preliminary
working
committee
to
organize
the
projht.

and

Hospital.
Need
for
more
projection
machine
operators
was
pointed
out
by
R.
G.
Moore,
who
in
his
voluntary
work
last
winter
supervised
the
showing
of
20
films
a
month.
Other
showings
were
supervised
by
Mr.
Goscoe.
Ideal
solution,
the
meeting
agreed,
would
be
to
train
a
projectionist
for
each
organization
desiring
the
films.
Mr.
Wilson
suggested
that
the
film
"pool"
or
library
which
will
be
composed
of
blocks
of
films
from
the
National
Film
Board
or
University
Extension
Department,
might
be
handled
through
the
public
book
library
In
a
manner
similar
to
that
which
books
are
made
available.
He
advised
that
the
local
film
council,
which
will
develop
from
the
interim
working
committee,
become
a
member
of
the
B.
C.
Co-operative
Film
Exchange,
working
in
conjunction
with
other
such
groups
in
the
province.
Mr.
Wilson
plans
to
return
to
Prince
Rupert
in
about
a
month
and
in
the
meantime
the
com
mittee
will
lay
plans
for
the
or
ganlzatlon
of
a
film
council.,
Information
on
the
mechanics
of
the
scheme
will
be
obtained
j
from
the
regional
office
of
the
National
Film
Board
at
Vancouver.
