Last Hallowe'en damage, entirely wilful, ran into a thousand dollars more. Culprits were apprehended, confessed, were put on parole and have been reporting to the police since. Presumably they are reformed and may be trusted not only to behave themselves tomorrow night but discourage others from similar perversity, There k no intention to object to good, clean, ' holiest, above -boai'd and harmless fun that does not Involve costly and silly damage. The older and more sedate folks can, doubtless, be patient and understanding for one night and tolerate a certain amount of disturbance and pranks. ; " Thei-e will be regular and special police patrols on hand tomorrow night although, if everyone V would be honorable and sensible, there Would be no Uneed for extraordinary precautions. But the patrols and the precautions notwithstanding, the onus Is upon the celebrants themselves, If there are' some irresponsible perverts-old or young who find it impossible to keep their actions within the bounds of good sense and good citizenship, it is to be anticipated that,1 having been appealed to and warned, they will be dealt with not so easily as they were last year but With some measure of severity. There may. of course, be the odd moron around but, once again, we are expressing the hope that the young folk will really behave themselves this Hallowe'en. They are on the spot and we hope we Will be able to praise instead of upbraid them on the morning after. Incidentally, we would commend to the attention of all the Hallowe'en message of the chief of police, published elsewhere on this page. The chief has been doing a lot of good twork since last Hallowe'en in organizing against juvenile delinquency. Wd hope the young people, in whom he places so much trust, will not let him down and that their parents, as he suggests, Will co-operate in making a safe and sane Hallowe'en jn Prince Rupert after the last two disgraceful ones. In passing we might also congratulate such organizations as the Kinsmen's Club and Junior Chamber of Commerce which have been actively . interesting themselves in making it a better" Hallowe'en. They are entitled to the fullest measure of co-operation by all concerned instead of being also let down. LOSING TOURIST DOLLARS THE DAILY NEWS does not consider itself en-I titled to be included in chidings of tourists at the failure of Prince Rupert merchants, be it by civic bylaws or their own choice, to accommodate themselves to the presence of tourists in the city and make the most of them. The last time we made a gentle suggestion along these lines, after hearing complaints from visitors and seeing good business being lost, we ourselves were taken to task by some of hose merchants themselves. Nevertheless, we think the following letter written by a New York tourist to, a Vancouver newspaper and directly complaining about Prince Rupert will be of interest. It is not the Daily News talking this time. We are just passing along what .some one else( has said and offer it for what it might be considered Worth. "1 have Just returned from a trip to Canada and Alaska. In Vancouver all stores, from he largest department stores to the smallest specialty shops, are closed all day Wednesday. How can a country that heeds to sell Its goods In order to keep its trade balance expect to do business that way? "We.took a boat from Vancouver through the Inside passage to Skagway, Alaska. We stopped at Prince Rupert and went at once, together with many other tourists, to see what there was to buy. Many desirable things were on display-furs, tweeds, Indian handicrafts. Inasmuch as we were going on to half a dozen other towns In Canada and Alaska, we did not all purchase at once, but selected what we planned to pick up on the return trip. Some people definitely ordered tweeds and furs to be packed and ready. One tourist, at least, ordered $30 worth of woollens, decided later to double the order, and also interested others in the excellent materials. We were . a little late on the return trip and docked at 8. p.m. Another .-boat full of tourists had arrived Just before us. Dozens of people hurried out in the pouring rain to buy. Not one shop was open. If a dozen people had bothered to open their shops for one hour they would have taken in good American dollars which they so badly need. "There are boats full of tourists several times a week all summer long, but it does not occur to chambers of commerce, If any, to get busy. The general atmosphere Is charmingly relaxed and pleasaht, but Irksome when one reads the local newspapers with their broad hints about a loan of dollars from us. "Farther north are the towns of Alaska, and what a difference there. All shops that can sell anything to anybody are open till midnight, If need be. Even the curator of the museum In Juneau opened up the place In the evening and showed Ms exhibits Until 11:30 p.m. The whole atmosphere was different, full of activity. "Canada has much to offer, and tourists may seem a small Item now, but many countries In Europe used to find their economy greatly helped by the tourist trade. Why should not Canada be a little more enterprising'" DOMINIONS CONFER-Hon. James A. MacKinnon, Minister of Trade and Commerce, who has concluded his official program in South Africa as head of the touring Canadian Trade Mission, converses with Field Marshal Jan Christian Smuts, Prime Minister of the Union, on the steps of his official residence, "Llber-t&s." After a strenuous three-week tour of the Union, during which the Canadians reported they were received with "generosity and hospitality second only to the Royal tour," the Mission Is rested for three days In Johannesburg before proceeding by air for their scheduled visits to the Mediterranean area, including Cairo, Athens, Rome and Lisbon. Their itinerary covered every part of South Africa and Southern Rhodesia, where they conferred with government and trade officials, and attended numerous special meetings of the various local Chambers of Commerce and Chambers of Industry. Police Chief's Hallowe'en Appeal Calls Upon Parents Once again we are thinking about Hallowe'en, of the pleasure it brings to some and the destruction It may bring to others. A year ago, wilful damage done to glass alone totalled more than $1,000 In Prince Rupert. As a result of this damage, twentyfour ot our young people were prosecuted and the damage they did had to be paid for by those who were found to be responsible. I am not going to lay stress upon the disgrace such conduct brought to the city but I am most forcefully going to stress the fact that the parents of the children of this city have some responsibility pn Hallowe'en nigh and H is imperative that they shoulder this responsibility this year and, advise their (children against doing damage to other people's property. If they will do so and supervise them to some extent, they will, I am sure, contribute much to a sane Hallowe'en. Aid. Casey Reprimanded Alderman George Casey's methods of protesting the interdiction of four residtnts of the Pioneers' Home last week got him in hot water with his colleagues on city council Monday night and resulted In him making an apology to the Pioneers' Committte which he sandwiched between challenges for the committee members to prove their legal right to take Interdiction proceedings against the elderly men. The octogenarian alderman got Into difficulties with the committee when he allegedly entered the Pioneers' Home on October 22 and obtained permission from Mr. Montchall, the superintendent, to address the men there. He Insisted on Mr. Montchall remaining. According tn thp rnmmlttpe'e Indignant report to council, Mr Casey placed the blame for the interdictions on Mr. Montchall and accused him of "using Hitlerite tactics In conducting the affairs of the Home." Mr. Montchall requested Alderman Casey to leave and, on Alderman Casey's refusal, he offered to tender his resignation. The committee report read as follows: "As the discussion and argument was having an adverse effect on the inmates present, he then phoned the police department, and Alderman Casey left the premises when requested to do by a police constable. "Your committee further goes opinion that It should not be necessary to, point out to anybody, especially an alderman, that If he has any grounds to be dissatisfied with the conduct ot any city official or appointee, the correct procedure Is to approach the committee affected. "Your lommlttee further gots on redbrd as being completely satisfied with the method in which Mr. Montchall is discharging his duties and recommends: (a) that Alderman Casey be reprimanded for his conduct and be dsked to apolo-glze to this committee and, 1 I through them, to the superin-; tendent of the Pioneers' Home, and that he-be asked to refrain from such conduct In the fu(the late R. L. Macintosh In- ture." OBJECTS TO INTERDICTION Tn riisrMifciilnn nf tho ronnrt Alderman Casey reiterated that j he could find nothing In the bylaw governing the Pioneers Home wherein the committee had authority to take interdiction proceedings against any resident of the home. "They have no authority as far as I am concerned," he declared. However, he finally cooled down and declared that he would apologize to the committee for his method of protesting the interdiction of the men. "I was out of order,' he admitted. Said Mayor Arnold: "I would like to state that no alderman has the right to enter any in stitution of the city with that kind of Protest should go to the committee In charge nm- DE LNDR 4 Evening of Spiritual Stimulation Salvation Army Chieftain Welcomed and Delivers an Inspiring: Address The local citadel was crowded last evening for a citizens' rally to give a fitting welcome to dis tinguished officers of theSal- vation Army now on a tour of Northern British Columbia. They are Commissioner Charles Baugh, territorial commander of the Army for Canada, New-i foundland and Bermuda, and ! Brigadier T. H. Mundy of Toronto, the territorial Young I People's secretary. Mayor Nora ) Arnold presided over an enthus-i iastlc and stimulating represen tative gathering. Scripture reading by G. R. 8. Blackaby, Regular Baptist Church, followed the opening prayer by Mrs. J. T. Dillingham and of the first hymn, after which Mayor Arnold was introduced by Brigadier Gllllngham. In doing so, he complimented the mayor on the excellent record made by her In the administration of civic affairs and the graUtude felt, by the Army in her accpetance of the Invitation to be, present and the kindness and co-operation always shown. In extending the city's welcome, Mayor Arnold made fitting reference to the Important position held by Commissioner Baugh in Salvation Army affairs. He was an officer of world-wide experience. He had, personally, been practically In all parts of the globe. He was in the British Isles during the war. He was born in England but. having come as a child to Canada, he had absorbed the Canadian scene with the Canadian outlook and point of view. Field Captain J. Offutt, representing the native Salvationists of the district, read an address of greeting to Commissioner Baugh and Brigadier Mundy, expressing the high regard felt. This was followed with remarks by P. H. Llnzey, First Baptist Church, and Canon W F. Rushbrook, Anglican Church. Mr. Llnzey's brief address was appropriate to the occasion and Canon Rushbrook lauded the praiseworthy services of the Salvation Army in the north ahd amoung the people of a newly settled land. He recalled that 38 years ago he was one of a small group that witnessed. augurate the postal service here.

In his preliminary remarks, he explained how the Salvation Army started. There had been no set plan or design. In a way, It had all come by happy chance. Nor had Its vast development been the fruits of any individual leadership for the Army's work stood by Itself. Gradually It has grown ahd become strengthened until it was recognized all over the earth and had .become a great International force for good. Telling of the duties which, through the years, have taken him to South America, to Africa, to India, Australia, the East Indies and even to that remote, far northern little land of Iceland, Commissioner Baugh narrated numerous Incidents, impressions and experiences all of which were of surpassing Interest. In speaking of Iceland, he told of arriving at the capital city of Reykjavik for the first time.
