Prince Rupert Recognized VANCOUVER, New Westminster and Prince Rupert were cited as British Columbia's principal ports by the vice-president of the Vancouver Board of Trade at an International Port Day luncheon of the transportation and customs bureau of the Vancouver Board last week. The luncheon was timed hi connection with the holding in the southern city of the American Association of Port Authorities convention when the principal speakers were E. 0. Jewell of New Orleans, president of the Association, and Sir Robert Burrows, chairman of the board of .directors of the London, Midland and Scottish Railway. Special guests were port officials from many shipping cities of the United States and Canada and it so happened that presidents of a number of British Columbia coast city Chambers of Commerce, including Prince Rupert, had head table, places. r The reference to Prince Rupert was typical of tl)e recognition that is now being generally accord-edlhls port and it was particularly interesting that it-should be made in Vancouver by the vice-president of the Vancouver Board of Trade before such an important aggregation of shipping authorities. AT LONG LAST IT WAS a rather important announcement, and one of intprpsr. inn' Vil rVi xtrne moIn irf ssJnr niiivii lllttUC dSVClfUtl tU the effect that the four lots on Third Avenue, held for more than thirty-five years as a prospective Post Office site, had been finally released by the government and were being offered for public sale through the War Assets Corporation machinery. Certainly, after long agitation for this very thing, the news is received with considerable satisfaction. The action of the government in declaring the lots surplus will make available a business property site unexcelled in the city and is particularly satisfactory from the standpoint of the city in that it will put the property , on the tax roll. V-jxt there will be considerable interest in the possibility of buying the property, now that it is possible to do so, goes, of course, without saying. 'A DEFINITE ASSET PIGURES, like actions, I louder than words and Prince Rupert's Civic Centre an asset to thp i ". vj . uumc iiguica ' F111.0'1 , have , been compiled ., would suggest a very .definite "yes" in answer.

At one time during the operation of the Granby Mine at Anyox, Jack Jones worked for the company as shift boss. BIG BUS RUNS OFF HIGHWAY Object of considerable interest to motorists travelling the Kaien Island highway the last few dav has been the sight of a large passenger bus stuck with two outside wheels off the road. The bus, which was brought here this summer and operated on sightseeing tours and on the sched uled run between Port Edward and Prince Rupert. aDDarentlv slipped partly off the road near a gravel pit east of city dump last Sunday while carrying pas sengers to Port Edward. This morning ,Art Murray, proprietor of 99 Taxi, was on the scene of the accident endeavoring to get the big vehicle back onto ths road. MISSION BOAT RUNNING AGAIN The Northern Cross, Anglican Church mission boat, was seen again this year making her way on the once familiar beat that included any spot where man has made his home in the northern areas of this British Columbia coast. During the period of war years the little craft lay Idle when no hand could be spared to tend her helm and carry ,on the work of minKtpHnT to the ne.ople .who Inhabit the! out -of-way' places of the north ! icoast. coast Now Rev. c L.

BULGER OPTOMETRIST John Bulger Ud, Third Avenue Bill 39 Assailed urbanized Labor Will Go Inlo Politics to Eliminate It Sanction of Bill 39 by organ ized labor In British Columbia would place the workers in the position of being "a party t0 their cwn destruction," declare? Ernpst. ralc!rnT n ,,.. tjonal Woodworkers &f Amerir addressing a meeting of local worKers at the Oddfellows' Ilatl ast night. '"Workers,? said the speaker, "will never be a party to a policy that, will -eventually leaI them into a concentration camp." Mr. Dalskog contended that Bill 33 was an attempt to shackle the organized labor movement and that it was no accident thar this anti-labor legislation wa? brought into British Columbia He stated that British Columbia has the strongest and most mili tant laibor unions In Canada and this province was picked for that reason by big. business as the starting point In the campaign to wrtk the unions. With the British Columbia labor organiza tions maslrsd. fho n tiinn tarn would be bound to succeed In the jest of Canada. In the opinion- of the speaker. bi business is out to wreck th-j labor movement of Canada even to the extent nf ntin ihair economic influence to force the passage or anti-labor laws. He pointed to the pross as another miltiencing factor and referred specifically to an editorial that appeared In the Daily News September 25, 1947. He said that the German press wrote In support of laws that rebbed the workers of their freedom when Hitlers controlled labor front was being formed. in dealing with BUI 39, Mr. Dalskcg said one of the worst futures abaut the bill from tha standpoint of IHbor was the practically limitless time allowed for negotiations and reconciliations. According to him this period could be extended forever if the employer and ths government so wished. He said that, even undr the smoothest conditions, thetshortest Jlme between a request made by a union and settlement could not pos- fa ; OVER THE i FENCE m&sh If "I sec by the papers," said the eld timer as he leaned on the fence, "that one of the head lads in the C.C.F., Professor UnderhilT of Toronto, has been lecturing the todalists about their talk of controls. I'm not much interested in his scolding of the C.C.F., but I was etrack by one thing he said. "He said what the world needs chiefly at present is enterprise and imagination, initiative and vision. And he added: "The defenders of capitalism are quite right in maintaining that these qualities were given full J scope in the capitalism of'the past 147 w and that niaw uu this w was the uic reason iCdSUll IOT for the tile great material progress of recent taXnUOnS- generations" "Well, it seems to me that any system that gives full scope to enterprise and imagination, initiative and vision, isn't a bad system to go on with. I can see, now and then, ways of improving it, for it certainly isn't perfect yet. But doesn't jt seem a mite fooliji to talk .about overturning a syrtem that, as the professor says, gives full scope to ill these qualities the world needs? "Maybe we could teach Utopia by overthrowing our present wayi and putting xxialitt bureaucrats ot Communists in full authority, 1 daubt it and I have yet to ee ,any convincing demonstration that it works.1 Ovt-tUriKfitpttuiiitiitiSii, vwati Mch utr undtr tht fxn...

He said, when Hitler overran most I Europe and the underground forces were the only ones to , fight back, we did not condemn ; them for breaking the laws set ' up by Hitler, we praised them for they' were attacking something that threatened human rights." If the concentrated efforts at the organized laibor movement in Brlthh Columbia was not enough to force the reneal of Bill 39. stated the speaker, labor would be forced to jenter (lie political field to elect men who would represent their case and who would strive for adjust ments for pensioners, veterans and such.

Mr. Dalskog said membership oi unions had risen to O.OOQ by ' the end of the war as conmareil 'to with 350,000 prior to the start of the last creat conflict.
