Prince Rupert and Alaska IT IS NO, EASY THING to change a long-estab, I lished trading route. Certainly such a thing cannot be. dona overnight. Nevertheless, Prince Rupert, to whjch the United States turned in the emergency of war and was quickly nlade the "Port for Alaska," anticipates that, in due course, its naturally strategic, position will, make it the permanent peacetime, port for the territory which now aspires to statehood. Prince Rupert which between Pearl Harbor and Y-J Day shipped a million-and-ra-half tons; of freight and 35,000 troops and civilian workers in 3,000 ships to Alaska war zones, watches with keen interest the efforts-of Alaskans to free, themselves from the shackles of Seattle interests which have held them in economic, subjection these many years through confinement of the avenues of trade and commerce. Prince Rupert realizes that this is a problem that Alaskans must work out for themselves and only wishes that international propriety would permit of local and national authorities making mora active gestures of cooperation. ' Certainly, the port of Prince Rupert, almost in sight as it is of; the Alaskan Panhandle and 500 miles closer, to. the territory than Seattle, the nearest Pacific Coast railway terminal, equipped as it is with every modern port facility, niuch of which was installed by the Americans themselves during the war, can lay fair- claim to, be the "Port for Alaska.'-' If; Prince Rupert were an American city instead of a Canadian there would, .of course, be no question about it. In spite of the international aspect, however. m spite ot restrictive legislation and regulations which both Alaska and Prince. Rupert people know are intended for no other purpose than -to help Seattle maintain its control over Alaska's trade, there is every; reason, to expect that Nature itself will, in time, be the turning factor in the situation and that, just as surely as water will eventually overflow and run downhill, so will the logical trade route from thagj-eater-RQrtipri of the United States be .oyer the great Canadian transcontinental to; the splendidly equipped all-year port of Prince 'Rupert and on to Alaska. The diversion, is already commencing in a small way. It may be expected to quickly gain moriien-; turn. F ISHERIES. SUPPORT BOARD, OF VITAL IOTANCE to, Prince Rupert, since it directly concerns what is still this port's, basic industry, is the question of maintaining fish, prices which are showing weakness these days. It is, therefore, satisfactory to, see the government- prganizing a fisheries support board, as authorized by Parliament. It is particularly, satisfactory that men who, are. . .so intimately associated .with. thafisheries of Prince Rupert should have been named members of the board. We refer to Col, J W. Nichojls, formerly general manager of Canadian Fish & Cold Storage Co,, now retired, and, K. F. Harding, the able and energetic ypung. general manager of the Prince Rupert Fishermen's Co-operative, which now ppcupies such an important position in, the fishing industry scene in all its" phases. Richard Nelson, president of Nelson Bros. Fisheries Ltd., which, has, large' operating interests in this area, is also, named, tp, the Pacific "Coast advisory board. '-PROVIDE THINGS NECESSARY A man who earned his own comfortable retirement by rendering good service and good value, enabling many, tp enjoy the good things of life, says tha.t: much of our,ecpnomic difficulty is caused by people o.verlop.Hing. the biblical injunction, "provide things necessary," The tendency of people to purchase luxuries 'before .tljeyhqyyprpyiiJedf on their, needs in homes, food, clotningt education and1 personal progress, T is not only personal, fpllv but It destroys the solid basis of society on whiph alone the standard, of living can be raised. The industry and thrift which, provides homes before luxuries, are the. basis, of good living and better, earning, whcb, make the home-owners, . better prospects toxr more and better goods than those who buy luxuries, before, houses. The list of luxuries which should succeed rather, than precede thligs, necessary,- could be extended! . indefinitely. Many manufacturers of these luxu- ' ' i oo n rA flirt vi f j ? 1a y& r, f Viiv . ttimir 4- iUIu sales over a' period of years will be. much greater if the buyers of luxuries have, first provided them- selves with, things necessary to good living, greater earnings, a,nd prspnal advancement.

This was the last great gamble of the desperate German army, and it failed when U.S. forces reorganized and pinched It off.

Time was, and not lopg ago, when priority was needed to get a newf eg.g-foeater. As for a pan cake turner who had sejn one? Those were the days when it was necessary to be discreet-even at a tea, of all places. You tried to look quite unconcerned when someone went off at a tangent in that certain tone.
