Who

this
week
with

United
Kingdom

party
were
ready
to
admit
that
it
was
problematical
if
old
Britain
could
survive
.
economically
without
a
new
policy
of
permanent
aid
and
support
from
the
rest
of
the
Commonwealth.
It
is
to
such
assistance
that
the
heart
of
the
Empire
must
look
now
if
the
Commonwealth
is
to
be
maintained
as
such
henceforth.
It
is
inconceivable
that
the
independent
Dominions,
such
as
Canada,
should
not
assume
their
responsibility
in
giving
economic
aid
to
the
Old
Land
in
this
hour
of
her
dire
need.
There
may
be
a
note
of
sentiment
in
the
situation
but,
all
sentiment
aside,
she
is
still
capable,
once
the
necessary
economic
adjustments
are
made,
of
being
one
of
Canada's
best
customers.
It
sh'&uld
be
re.membered
that
it
was
Britain
that
stotfd
as
our
fast
buttress
in
the
dark
hours
of
War
wlieni
her
peril
was
our
peril
although
further
re-
nloved.
Now
we
would
do
well,
our
own
security
for
the
time
at
least
seeming
secure,
to
stand
by
her.
'
It
is
appropriate
enough
that
Mr.
Low,
the
leader
of
Canada's
Social
Credit
party,
should
suggest
that
this
Dominion
take
the
lead
in
calling
a
Commonwealth
Conference
to
discuss
ways
of
helping
Britain
in
her
present
extremity.
In
such
a
proposal,
he
merely
takes,
the
words
out
of
most
loyal
Canadians'
mouths.
As
Mr.
Low
says:
"It
would
be
very
difficult
for
the
British
government
to
take
the
initiative
in
calling
such
a
conference.'
We
were
able,
however,
to
learn
how
Britons
feel
through
conversation
we
had
with
the
business
men
from
there
who
were
with
us
this
week
and
who
were,
we
found,
truly
representative
of
the
steady
and
brave
spirit
and
courage
of
Britons
as
they
are
traditionally
known.
APPRENTICESHIP
THERE
ARE
TWO
distinct
angles
to
the
appren-
I
ticeship
problem
the
attitude
and
interest
in
connection
with
which
it
is
obvious
must
be
changed
if
a
reservoir
of
trained
men
is
to
be
maintained
to
keep
up
the
supply
of
successbrs
as
the
older
tradesmen
drop
out.
There
must
be
such
a
change
of
attitude
on
the
part
of
employers
and
seniors
in
the
trades
towards
the
admission
of
the
'
young
men
for
apprenticeship.
There
must
be
a
Willingness
and
patience
in
helping
and
training
them.
On
the
part
of
the
young
men,too,
it
would
be
well
that
they
should
realize
for
themselves
more
than
they
are
doing
the
importance
of
training
themselves
for
permanency
of
skilled
occupation
instead
of
succumbing
to
the
lure
of
high
wages
for
mere
jobs
of
today
which
afford
neither
training
or
promise
of
future.
Unfortunately,
there
is
too
little
interest
or
desire
to
co-operate
on
the
part
of
employers
in
the
'training
of
young
men
for
careers
in
the
trades.
Qnjhe
other
hand,
there
is
too
little
heed
to
their
future
well-being
and
security
or
ambition
to
make
themselves
responsible
and
useful
citizens
on
the
part
of
youths
themselves.
HARHY
BIRCH
AS
HE
IS
ABOUT
to
retire
after
a
quarter
of
a
century's
service
as
managing
secretary
of
the
Prince
Rupert
General
Hospital
and
before
that
a
valuable
and
responsible
member
of
the
City
Hall
staff,
it
might
be
appropriate
for
us
to
pay
a
word
of
tribute
to
Harry
W.
Birch.
He
is
a
citizen
who
in
his
capable,
quiet,
efficient
way,
has
done
a
great
deal
for
Prince
Rupert.
Of
course,
his
outstanding
success
was
in
his
capacity
as
director
of
the
business
and
financial
affairs
of
the
hospital.
Executive
boards
have
come
and
executive
boards
have
gone
but
throughout
the
years
Mr.
Birch
carried
on
as
the
mainspring
and
guiding
spirit
of
hospital
management
and
administration.
For
a
long
time
Prince
Rupert
General
Hospital
has
been
acknowledged
as
one
of
the
most
successfully
managed
in
the
country
from
a
financial
standpoint
and
all
will
acknowledge
that
Mr.
Birch's
guiding
hand
was
largely
responsible.
-
The
Prince
Rupert
hospital
is
distinctive
in
that
it
m
has
been
able
to
expand,
improve
and
keep
up
to
date
which
is
more
than
can
be
said
of
the
most
of
Prince
Rupert's
public
services.
Mr.
Birch
is,
undoubtedly,
to
be
thanked
to
large
extent
for
the
hospital's
enviable
and
healthy
position.
Now
that
he
is
retiring
after
a
job
so
well
done,
we
would
like
to
join
with
many
others
in
extending
to
Mr.
Birch
best
wishes
for
many
pleasant
and
happy
years
still
to
come.
He
has
worked
hard
and
well
and
is
entitled
to
the
rst
and
relaxation
which
he
is
about
to
take.
