Labor

out

threatened

Dunkirk.

This
editor
had
the
privilege
a
few
clays
ago
;
in
Vancouver
of
attending
a
gathering
of
the
Van-i
couver
Board
of

at
which
the
principal
speaker

way,
Britain's
largest
railway
system.
His
rail-!
way
is
shortly
being
taken
over
by
the
govern-'
ment
under
its
nationalization
plan
but
it
was
interesting
to
hear
the
generous
and
understanding
;
attitude
with
which
he
accepted
the
situation.
;.
Those
who
picture
Britain
as
in
the
grip
of
a
dictatorship
or
British
labor
as
being
"forced"
to
work
for
a
socialist
regime
simply
may
not
fully
understand
what
is
happening
in
Britain.
They
tprobably
do
an
injustce
not
only
to
the
British
I
government,
whose
mistakes
may
have
been
many
.
and
some
of
them
grievous,
but
to
all
the
British
'
people
including
the
workers.
V
This
is
a
question
of
national
survival.
That
Js
how
the
average
Briton
sees
it.
The
ramparts
;
of
economic
defence
are
being
manned.
National
:
unity
is
being
created
from
the
bottom
up.
;
War
is
the
true
reason
of
Britain's
present
problems,
war
and
what
the
Briton
feels
was
a
dis-
proportionate
share
of
the
burden
of
the
Allied
1
effort
against
the
Axis.
;
Fact
of
the
matter
is
that
the
need
for
increasing
,
controls
over
the
economic
life
in
Britain
is
due
clearly
to
the
economic
emergency
and
not

it

no

the
matter.
Even
the
Conservatives
admit
that
rsome
form
of

is
necessary,
i
If
we
look
upon
the
British
scene
today
with
broad
and
deep
perspective,
it
must
appear
plain
'.
that
the
whole
British

feels
thrown
back
'
upon
itself,
upon
its
own
meagre
economic
re-;
sources
which
it
must

Out
of

will

as
in

every

profession,
and
you
come
upon
teachers
who
are-
faded
in
a
noticeable
measure
from
the
sharp
arid
strong
pattern
so
much
desired
;
but
.
these
-are
,
not
typical.
Teachers
on'
the
whole
'
radiate
interest
and
enthusiasm
to
their
students
in
a
blend
of
personality
and
skill.
They
have
a
rare
courage:
the
courage
to
repeat
day
after
day
the
same
lessons
in
a
way
to
keep
them
always
interesting
and
arresting.
They
have
large
stores
of
"common
sense.
They
are
builders
of
character,
-the
most
important
element
in
the
progress
of
our
children.
Such
a
profession
deserves
respect;
its
practitioners
are-
entitled
to
just
and
adequate
material
rewards
and
should
be
given
a
social
!
standing
in
keeping
with
the
work
they
do.
They
should
be
allowed,
too,
to
keep
their
ideals.
Let
no
one
try
to
take
away
the
spiritual
and
philo-sophical
values
of
the
teaching
profession.
"Prac-i
teal"
people
may
scoff,
but
if
it
were
not
for
values
;
outside
and
beyond
dollars
and
cents
there
would
be
few

TALKING
OF
WEATHER
WE
MAY
COMPLAIN
about
the
weather
and
the
weather
forecaster
but
who
says
we
are
not
having
lots
of
fun
in
doing
so?
Taking
it
by
and
large,
the
weather
forecaster
is
improving
his
accuracy
all
the
time.
Maybe
some
time
he
will
beperfect
and
then
a
lot
of
joy
will
be
taken
out
of
life
for
there
will
be
no
more
uncertainty,
no
more
speculation
and
the
weather
will
lose
much'
of
its
lustre
as
man's
most
popular
subject
of
discussion.
The
day
when
the
weather
man
quits
pre-dicting.and
starts
announcing
will
be
just
too
bad.
A
lot
of-the
zest
will
have
been
taken
out

by
the
perfection
of
meteorological
science.

THE
Civic
Centre
(An
Appreciation)
(By
W.
J.
R.)
Somehow,
row
after
row
of
kitchen
chairs,
ranged
In
a
bleak
hall,
always
seemed
harder
than
anywhere
"else.
One
felt
stiff
and
sensitive
after
a
couple
of
hours'
occupancy.
The
more
gracious
and
kindly
Civic
Centre
has
done
away
with
all
that.
Hoiv
many
times
In
the
past
S5
years
has
a
Prince
Rupert
audience
wondered
what
It
wa3
air
about?
At
least,
part
of
the
audience.
Someone
was
speaking
from
the-
platform.
But
what
was
the
message?
What
was
he
say-ins?
For
there
are
structural
de
signs
which
make
it
difficult
to
hear
without
a'
loud
speaker.
And
even
then,
not
so
well.
The
Civic
Centre
does
not
ask
you
to
hear
the
hard
way.
Sitting
near
a
window
that
rattles,
or
allows
plenty
of
fres'.i
air
to
wander
down
your
neck,
affects
one's
nerves
and
risks
a
cold
that
might
spell
pneumonia.
But
that's
only
one
of
the
penalties.
There
are
so
many
places
you
find
comfortless
and
iwkward
the
moment
you
enter.
Vo
one
in
particular
Is
to
blame.
But
those
who
have
pioneered
it
In
this
city
long
enough
need
no
explanation.
They
understand.
You
avoid
these
manifold
and
vexing
little
annoyances
through
possession
of
a
Civic
Centre
not
surpassed
in
Canada.
In
the
past
40
years
Prince
Rupert
has
dreamed
about
a
Civic
Centre
and
often
the
picture
was
a
blending
of
hope
and
vision.
S(ie
of
the
scenes
were
enticing,
ami
smiled
at
when
thought
over
In
the
cold
llnht
of
day.
But
no
one
ever
dreamed
that
eventually
the
reality
would
outstrip
even
fondest
fancy
.And
so,
Prince
Rupert-has
a
Civic
Centre
-one
of
the
finest
frankly
envied
by
many
older,
