For
a
stranger
to
find
his
way
,
readily
around
Prince
Rupert,,
takes
a
bit
of
doing,
More
signs,
i
placed
where
they
can
be
easily
seen,
would
not
be
unwelcome.
This
is
not
a
checkerboard
town

although
considering
the
ups
and
downs
and
roundabout
ways
as
seen
on

the
city
was
well
planned.
Tourists,

rarely,

knew
what
to
do
and
how
to
do
It.
And
though,
In
the
clearing
of
the
townslte,
thousands
of
Christmas
trees
had
been
cut
down,
there
were
plenty
more
where
they
came
from.
Slowly,
yet
surely,
the
Skeena
Highway
is
becoming
accepted
as
a
fact.
This
time

year
ago.
there
was
some
uncertainty
as
to
how
far
one
might
venture
to

There
were
more
rows
of
question

But
today,
mid-December,
