Bucking Ouv Own Horses -RUPERT PEOPLE have often talked PRINCE about good business opportunities, large and small, which exist here, taking advantage of which would tie in with the development of port and community by way of creating new industries or establishing essential services. Usually, the idea has been that the capital and final initiative wouldcome from somewhere without. When it comes down to individuals themselves, the idea has not clicked to any large extent as being actually applicable. There have been some small undertakings in the past in the establishment of local business along collective lines with the idea of local development primarily in mind but Prince Rupert citizens have yet to have come f orward in a really major undertaking to implement and take advantage of the opportunities they claim exist here. Of course, no one is going to, nor would be expected, throw financial resources into any undertaking unless there were full giu-::- 's of ."bona fides and reasonable assurance of ihere at least being a chance to win. This being granted, there is much merit in the' suggestion that, if anybody might be expected to invest in the good opportunities which we claim exist here, it should be the people here themselves. Surely if we do not have confidence enough to .invest in our own opportunities we can hardly expect others to do it for us. Of course, we would have to be organized . that efficient machinery would be set un to ensure there would be the efficient means of winning. Even the most extremely loyal and optimistic of local citizens could be expected to want some such assurance in supporting with their own money a useful and constructive project. AIR FACILITIES NEEDED WHILE THE ULTIMATE and only effective answer to Prince Rupert becoming a real centre of commercial and private aviation is the establishment of facilities here for the handling of land craft and thei;e can never be fully efficient air service here until this is done, we are told in an interview by Grant jIacConachie, president of Canadian Pacific Airlines, that we would do well, while continuing to press for the establishment of the full airport here, to also press for establishment of navigation aids, such as a radio range station, which are now completely non-existent here and which are hampering efficient and economical air service. Given such a radio range station, it would be possible to improve air service here greatly from the standpoints of regularly, efficiency and safety. In the meantime, Prince Rupert has become one of the most importantdistributing centres in Canada, vet fir navigational facilities here are deplorably lacking. 'We have fewer such facilities than many inconsequential towns spread over the country. We not only cannot handle land aircraft at all but we are lacking even in normal equipment for water aircraft. Here, apparently, is something we should btvf ollowing up. STANLEY BALDWIN EARL STANLEY BALDWIN of Rewdley, -whose death was announced Sunday was Prime Minister when the abdication of King Edward took place. It is necessary to go a long way back in Brit- ish history .to .know of another premier in office when the monarch withdrew from further- duties. It must be a matter of centuries. Something not far from a national crisis developed, through the presence of Mrs. Simpson, and Baldwin had difficult and, exacting responsibilities, for the time being. The general strirke in 192G was another highlight of the Prime Ministerial career of this sound and steady-going statesman who ,led the government of Great Britain for a considerable part of the time between two world wars. ' ' A BOY'S HEROISM AN ACT OF COURAGE and presence of mind in which 'an eleven-year-old boy, Leonard Smith, was the hero occurred on the local waterfront Saturday. When Leonard unhesitatingly plunged into the harbor water and rescued three-year-old "Rusty'- Jtusso from drowning, it appears that one of those outstanding acts of heroism which is entitled to special recognition had occurred. Doubt- less, th small boy ow'es his life to the older. The Daily News joins .in the admiration and commendation which has been expressed by all those knowing the circumstances of thf rodent. Incidentally, it is another tangible exampb of the value Koi' training received at swimming and life-saving, .cjassqs such as those conducted ,at the Kinsmen Club. camps which Leonard attended last year.
