Elections
are

hence.

may

expected
to
accept.
the
call
and
assume
their
civic
responsibility
by
offering
themselves
for
office.
The
year
1948-
should
see
some
major
municipal
undertakings
initiated.
There-will
be
important
decisions
to
be
made,
important
business
to
be
carried
out.
It
is
important
that
there
should
be
good
talent
to
be
chosen
from
in
the
selection
of
those
who
are
to
steer
the
civic
ship,
of
stato
during
the
expansionary
period
which
is
to
commence
during
-
the.
coming
twelvemonth.
Since
a
year
ago
many
new
people
have
driven
their
stakes
in
Prince
Rupert.
This
is
indicated
in
the
notable
increase
in
the
number
of
municipal
voters,
particularly
of
property
owners.
It
is
to
be
hoped
that
there
will
be
an
adequate
offering
of
candidates
for
these
people
to
choose
from
in
naming
the
policy
makers
of
one
of
the
community's-largest
businesses
the
city
itself:
MOTORISTS
AND
PEDESTRIANS
AN
APPEAL
was
recently
made
by
Hon.
E.
C.
Carson,
minister
of
public
works,
to
motorists
to
exercise
more
caution
in
driving
so
as
to
halt
what
he
referred
to
as
"the
appalling
increase
in
highway
accidents."
It
would
be
well
if
motorists
generally
took
this
"appeal
to
heart.
Although
the
majority
of
drivers,
no
doubt,
do
exercise
caution,
there
are,
unfortunately,
a
great,
many
who
are
more
reckless
than
they
should
be
in
the
handling
of-the-
vehicles
under
their
control.
Prince
Rupert,
where
every
day
traffic
is
increasing,
js
not
without
its
drivers
who
pay
little
heed
to
pedestrians.
Even
at
intersections
and
other-
points
where
pedestrians
cross
the
streets
there
are
some
drivers
who
proceed
at
a
reckless
and
alarming'
pace.
.
Although
pedestrians
may
not
always
take
the
care
they
might,
they
still
have
some
rights
and
and.
these
should
be
respected
by
the
motorists.

THE
upon
by
his
city
cousin.
That
great
equalizers-modern
science
has
caught
up
with
him.
One
only
has
:
o
watch
him
go
about
his
daily
work
to
be
convinced
his
range
of
knowledge
must
equal
that
of
his
bank
manager.
Chemist,
doctor,
mechanic
or
electrician
on
oc--.casion,
he
must
keep
step
with
the
latest;
advances
in
every
aspect.
of
farming
if
he
is
to
prosper.
No
longer
does
fertilizing
his
land
involve
the
mere
strewing
of
a
winter's
yield
of
manure
over
his
""acres.
Shrewdly
and
scientifically
he
is
learning
to.
pass
a
trained
eye
over
his
land
before
selecting
chemical
fertilizer,
insecticides
or
weedkillers.
He
is
becoming
quite
at
home
with
DDT,
2,4-D
or
benzene
hexachlbride
for
that
matter.
He
is
becoming
adept
at
recognizing
symptoms
of
an
ailing
heifer
as
a
deficiency
in
calcium,
phosphorus
or
vitamins
and
can
probably
find
a
remedy
in
the
farm
library
he
is
fast
building
up.
Unalarmet
by
a
breakdown
in
his
mechanical
equipment,
his
ability
to.
fix
things
involves
more
than
"tying
it
up
with
haywire."
The
electric
apparatus
on
his
farm
comes
in
for
its
shareof
doctoring
and
he
does
it
with
the
efficiency
of'
an
expert.
.Usually
he
can't
wait
for
the
professional
boys
to
come
around,
for
time
to
him
is
precious.
Although
he
is
often
associated
with

on

The

address,

A.

in

.
."
and
then
pro
nounced
the

The
assemblage
was
welcomed
by
President
Vic
Houston.
Mr.
Houston
outlined,
the
beginnings
of
the
Canadian
Le
gion
which,
he
said,
was
founded
by
returned
service
men
"out
of
sheer
necessity"
for
the
improvement
of
the
lot
of
disabled
vet-ems
of
the
first
world
war
and
their
dependents.
Mavor
Nora
Arnold
declared
that
the
fine,
feeling
of
comrade
ship
was
one
of
the
few
fine
things
to
come-
out
of
war.
She
mentioned
the
local
youths
who
had
given
their
lives
and
as
serted
that
"we
must
never
let
those
boys
down"
by
failing
to
continue-
to
struggle
for
a
peaceful
but
prepared
world."
Col.
A.
Hamilton
Grant
lauded
the
Legion
for
the
work
it
had
done
in
laying
the
groundwork
for
the
rehabilitation
of
veterans
of
the
second
world
war.
When
the
war
started,
he,
said,
it
was
the
Canadian
Legion
which
was
instrumental
in
the
immediate
formation
of
a
government
rehabilitation
committee
which
turned
out
to
be
the
"finest-in
the
world."
During
