A Tie-Up Obviated IT IS GRATIFYING that good sense and compro-I mise should have prevailed and that the tie-up of British Columbia coastal shipping over the dispute between the shipping companies and marine engineers on wages and working conditions has been averted. That settlement in other strikes already in progress or pending may soon be reached is much to be hoped for in the best interests of the parties concerned and the public as a whole. Those responsible for the bringing about of the settlement of the marine engineers' dispute are to be congratulated. General appreciation is assured. Equipped with established lines of communication by rail air and road, Prince Rupert, while greatly inconvenienced, would have been by no means isolated by a steamship tie-up and could have got by. However, Vancouver Island, Queen Charlotte Islands and settlements on other islands and along the coast would have been very badly hit and a continued strike would have worked grievous hardship upon them. Rut the settlement of the steamship strike does not end a serious situation in this province from the standpoint of strikes and one from which we may all suffer not only inconvenience, discomfort and even hardship if settlements are not reached soon. MRS. HART, POETESS AMELIA HART, widow of the late F. W. Hart (who lived for many years in Prince Rupert from the very early days and who pioneered it from the first in Vancouver and was also a prominent figure in the beginnings of other British Columbia communities as well as having been in the Klondyke Gold Rush), has published a booklet entitled "Thoughts in Verse," copies of which have been received by Prince Rupert frinds. Mrs. Hart also lived in Prince Rupert for several years and, like her husband, was a true pioneer of British Columbia, particularly of Vancouver. Twenty-three items of "Thoughts in Verse" consist in the, majority of poems but there are two or three short articles. The range of subject matter is wide some popular, some romantic, some spiritual but a pioneer note pervades throughout. Prince Rupert is not forgotten by Mrs. Hart tunougn sne no longer resides here but in Van-couver. "My Home Is In the North," which starts the Volume off, undoubtedly alludes: to Prince Ru- - 11.1. i i pen, wnn descriptive passages such as "muskeg I grgwing near the door," dandelions gay in bright . .

The step is shy, the eye is fickle yet my faith in life has never wavered, come what may." PORT OF ST. JOHN THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE of Prince Ru-I pert and the Board of Trade of St. John, New-Brunswick, have got together in the campaign to make fuller use of Canada's ports. The width of Canada extends between the two ports and, being that far apart, how much each knows of the other is largely a matter of speculation. St. John has a population of about 50,000 and can ook back over more than a century and a half of .history. The city was founded by the United Empire .Loyalists following the revolution that witnessed the birth of a new nation the United States of America. For the first few generations, "the going was tough." Pioneering was a new experience to the thousands coming fresh from -cities such as New York and Boston to an unbroken wilderness where the winters were and are long and severe with abundance of snow. Fire destroyed St. John in June 1877 but, long since then there has been rebuilding on more substantial lines. The Board of Trade has long been one of the community's most aggressive business organizations and alive to opportunity and changing 6 times. Back in the old wooden ship-building days, the city as a recognized construction centre, turned out scores of swift wind-jammers that went about wherever crafts could sail. One In her day, the famous ;'Marco Polo" came home at last, to rest, taught in a North Atlantic storm, she was driven .ashore to leave her bones not many miles from where she had been launched. h.ar!?or of St- John is not to be compared .with that of Prince Rupert. Yet, despite this, the city is an important port of Canada with elevators and modern drydock. The St. John River, flowing to the Bay of .lumdy, meets the tide moving inward. In a deep .gorge, spanned by bridges, a few miles from town, :the two come together in a welter of froth, fury .struggle and murmur of endless turmoil. This ;goes on daily, at regular intervals, It is called "the .Reversible Falls," and a prize showplace for I roet' umce lUepartment, uttawaj - . w Proof Reading Embarrassments "PUNK ROSES" AT WEDDING; NAVAL "TUB" IN PORT; " COCKEYE" TREATY By w.

LETTERBOX BRITAIN IN BIBLE PROPHECY Editor, Daily News; Many people are sayine that the British Lion died but Britain will yet have a mysterious resurrection and ascension to world power with a people of renewed spirit. This has been predicted for centuries in the British-Israel symbolism of the divinely appointed great pryramid of Glzeh where is shown symbolically the teachings of the Holy Bible. The Bible Is the Written Word of God and the great pyramid is!" w'" ,"OC4-- " Tbea craft was here, in connection the symbolic Bible in stone. Anglo-Saxons ai-q of the white J with selecting a signals service1 race should study carefully the Bible prophecies concerning Israel and also the chronology of the great pyramid which gives us correct dating for the fulfilments of Biblical prophecies. In the King's Chamber of the great pyramid there Is placed an open tomb in the western end of the chamber. This symbolizes a dating from 1941 until 1948 which is the symbolic time of death and resurrection for the British Israel race. Britain will arise according to this schedule, it is quite evident, and the British Israel Lion come into new life for the coming age or the Kingdom of God on Earth just lying ahead. C. W.
