British Columbia, emphasizing as far as prac-i ticable the attractive features of each season, is understood to be given consideration at any time now. This province, unlike any other part of Can- - -ada,Jends itself to such a project. There are plenty of persons, having means, leisure and inclination, can find plenty' to interest them in winter, as well as in summer. Even within present limitations, the tourist trade is said to have a value exceeding that of the fisheries and lumbering. It is a business we cart' Sell, and at the same time, keep possession of. British Columbia is one of the major playgrounds " of North America. Let the world know about it. AUTUMN IN THE NORTH SUMMER officially ended this week, but that need not invite dismay. It can be quite pleasant in and around Prince Rupert for many and " many a week, despite the formal announcement that the last day, if not the last rose of summer has departed. On the whole it was an agreeable season, par- - ticularly so during the early weeks. It must be ad mitted that the city could have done with brighter skies earlier this month but there were .many fac-.' tors that compensated during this week. ' " Autumn in the north can show delightful days. As autumn comes on, indications multiply that the summer of 1948 will be among the busiest Prince Jiunei't has exnerienoed. This is nnf Mvinn- tVio months just passed have not been exceptionally ""active: But it seems a certaintv that next vwir will j;be;eveii more so. i-The splendid new Canadian National liner, vncH will bear the name Prince George, is to in- augurate service on this coast. That alone is a star attraction, even allowing for the immense popularity of the matchless inside passage. The Canadian Legion will convene here in 1948, brinpjng numerous visitors,, many of whom will be -in Prince Rupert for the first time. Construction of the celluloses plant, by spring, should be getting well into its stride, if not being beyond present expectations. Truly, autumn in Prince Rupert, this year, at least, is a season of hope.

IS THERE ANY 1 B OPPORTUNITY I Looking ahead ten years, young men in business wonder about the chances of getting up to the top. Is there any opportunity left in Canada? A little study can answer that ne. Management is not only a few people at the top. Some men manage Ive employees, some a dozen. Some manage a department, a floor, a branch office. Those who success' fully manage small units climb to larger units. Ability, ambition, courage, and initiative get all the way upstairs. Opportunity is no new story kt Canada. Last year a study was nude of some of the chief executives whe now manage Canada's largest busi nesses. Every single man came uj the ladder the hard way, rung by rung. ' - Neither the men and women in industry nor the money in industry can lje effective without good management. Nothing else is so important to the employees' welfare, ; the investors' welfare, or the pubhc welfare. That viewi art brtxntci in thit newibipei by the BnrJi Columbia Federation ef Trait and InJuttrj. j.j Seattle - Prince Rupert Motor Trip Described Voyage into the Unusual' (By ELIZABETH K. LAMBERT) Mrs. Elizabeth K. Lambert, of Fort Lewis, Washington, with her husband and children, made an automobile trip from Seattle to Prince Rupert this summer. The story of the Journey was published in series in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, from which the following is reproduced. Widely circulated, In the western states, it undoubtedly wiU be of great publicity value lor the Skeena lUghway and Prince Rupert, This is the first installment of the series.

Trie road has been completed only In recent years and Americans who have made the trip from one end to the other are few enough that their autographs are being registered in Prince Rupert. In spite of this rather sinister sounding statement, the trip Is a safe and com- j fortable one and thoroughly in teresting throughout. Accommodations are easily found, and experienced mechan ics are available everywhere through courtesy of recent war training.

Before mbarklng on the trip! the driver and passengers of the car should make a trial run cn some ol the worst dirt and irravel roads they can find to( decide whether or not that discomfort will outweigh the many sources of enjoyment to be found only by traveling on such roads or perhaps worse ones. The early part of the trip will, of course, be dictated by the dis cretion of the driver or his locar tlon with regard to British Col umbia. Most motorists will enter Canada by way of the Seattl Vancouver highway and will turn east on Canadian Highway No 1. to Kamloops If they elect to omit a visit to Vancouver. We made a loop trip frcm Seattle to Victoria and Vancouver before turning toward the northern part of the province. This proved to be an error In YOU fnu ...... ' i 1 1 iur a VUyitgfc!
