The delicate pencil, charcoal watercolor and oil drawings and nalntlnss are hune in the gym nashim where they were the cen tre of wide interest Saturday night. The will be on display for the full carnival week Newer works, done by Mr. Sel vlg during the past year since ne came to Canada from Norway, include black-and-white and pastel drawings of familiar places In Prince Rupert, among them being views of the waterfront, downtown sections, and sylvan spots in anore reiote places. Mr. Selvlg, who is a brother or Gunnar Selvig local contractor, Is a former Norwegian "underground" worker. With his wife, he was hunted iby the Germans during the occupation of his homeland. Many of his fine drawings were done while he was in hiding. Similarity of the Norwegian landscape to that of British Columbia is indicated by the fact that some of the Norwegian scenes were mistaken bv observers for those of central-interior British Columbia. Mr. Selvig plans to hold an exhibition In Ketchikan later ment Advisory Committee was j this summer, and In Vancouver the discussion on me neea lor m me iau apprenticeship training and morel particularly the opportunity offered locally in one trade. James Bremner Jr. was in at tendance and stated that even now there were vacancies for apprenticeships In the plaster ing and bricklaying trade. As the wages offered appren tices in the plastering and brlck- lavlmr trade beain at 0c an hour for"e it t months and then increase by 5c an hour for each of the next two months until the skilled Journeyman can earn $1.45 an hour it was felt that this trade seems to offer a Dartlcularly attractive pro position to any youth looking for a trade that offers speeds advancement and assured em ployment. The backlog of work In this trade will keep qualined plasterers employed for years to come. And even when weatner conditions make It Impossible to work outside there Is still a great deal of Inside work to.be done. Another leature brought out in the discussion was that the apprentice really learns four trades, plastering, ibrickiaying, cement-flnlshing and tlle-set-tlng. Local employment conditions generally were reported favorable. A slackness in the bulld-ln2 trade Is due to the scarcity man.

He Is remaining here until tonight and Is today In contact with civic and Chamber of Commerce authori ties with a view to seizing upon some more effective mode of procedure whereby Prince Rupert may be able to take better advantage of opportunities which people from outside seem some times to perceive more vividly that do local people themselves. This morning Dr. Keenleyslde met with Mayor Arnold at the City Hall and this evenlg is having an Impromptu dinner meeting with the executive of the Prince Rupert Chamber of Commerce. He told the Daily News yesterday afternoon in the course of an interview that he and the Important department which he heads as deputy min ister are very anxious to do evervthlnz in their nower to help Prince Rupert in its de velopment. Explaining that the principal purpose of his trip west Is to acquaint himself with the ac tivities 6V his"; department In various, parts of the country, Dr. Keenleyslde confessed to an even "sentimental" interest In Prince Rupert. The reason for that Is that his wife Is one of Prince Rupert's real pioneer girls Katherine Pillsbury and that his wedding took place tn St. Andrew's Cathedral with the late Bishop (then Archbishop) Rlx officiating. He went to .service in the Cathedral yesterday morning but but found few old friends there. Dr. Keenleyslde spoke to the Daily News about the highway and said that hundreds and thousands of people in Alaska, for Instance, would like to travel over it but did not know about It. Only in Juneau last week, Dr. Keenleyslde had been talking with Governor Ernest Gruenlng who was tremendously enthusiastic over the Prince Rupert Highway, an enthusiasm which had nad been oeen intensified intensuiea by oy a a drive imvc a few days ago. The deputy mln ister told of meeting many people during his tour of Alaska who had never even heard of the Prince Rupert Highway. The answer was more publicity by the provincial and civic authorities. Speaking of the Prince Rupert Highway which was built' by his department as a defence project during the war, Dr. Keenleyslde said that it had now passed from federal to provincial hands. As for the proposed northern transpro-vincial highway with federal aid, the deputy minister said there seemed little hope of anything being done on federally aided highways until a final agreement was reached between Ottawa and all the provinces on the whole question of Intergovernmetal USE PRINCE RUPERT INSTEAD OF SEATTLE The deputy minister was quite specific about his feelings that Alaska should be using Prince Rupert instead of Seattle as Its shipping point. This seemed per fectly ellmentary and obvious when one considers the time that could be saved and money too since shipping rates were the same from the Middle West to Prince Rupert as they were to Seattle and two days coastal shipping time Jwas saved by using this port. "The people of Alaska are all for the Prince Ru- VISITOR HERE Dr. Hugh L. Keenleyslde, deputy minister of mines and resources, Ottawa, expresses keen interest in advancement of Prince Rupert. pert route,- Dr. Keenleyslde said, but it was a problem to change old business and shipping contacts. His department, Dr. Keen leyslde said, would certainly like to see If something could not be done to speed up this traffic through Rupert and would be glad to do anything it could to assist. j. - , "Meantime," the deputy minister suggested, "you people o Prince Rupert should at every possible opportunity be telling the people of Alaska about your road and your port. Visit Alaska frequently and tell the boards of trades, the service clubs, everyone you can, what you have here In relation to Alaska!" Dr. Keenleyslde spoke of the necessity of having better accommodation along the road so that tourist traffic could be served in a satisfactory manner. Lakelse Lake, he said, had much Impressed Governor Gruenlng of Alaska who, however, had commented on the lack of accommodation. That was somethig that local people sometimes did not think about. But It was the first thing that a vlslor was concerned in. "It seems to me," he said "that there should be butt-ess opportunities along the inmwc Prince Runert pi Highway that v... from Prince Rupert to Terrace would pay dividends, certainly better opportunities than along the Alaska Highway." Here In Prince Rupert Dr. Keenleyslde said there did not seem to be a really good curio shop. In such places as Juneau, Wrangell and Ketchikan such shops were tremendously popular with the tourists and were doing a rushing business. "The tourists are spending money like water these days and Prince Rupert "should be getting more of it." "During the next ten years, there should be an unparalleled tourist traffic in this country," Dr. Keenleyslde said. "People have developed travelling habits and they' have money. In fact, they aje travelling today as they never did before. That business is going (Continued on Page Two) Fastball Saturday Postponed; However Game Due Tonight The regularly scheduled fastball game for Saturday evening was called off on account of rain.
