Russia
Stops
Peace
ANOTHER
Big
Four
foreign
ministers'
conference
in
London
is
proving
disappointing
as
far
as
accomplishments
are
concerned.
It
is
not
accentuating
the
alarm
of
shooting
war
which
it
seems
to
be
generally
admitted
no
one
is
very
anxious
about
having.
On
the
other
hand,
it
gives
anything
but
reassurance
of
peace
among
the
nations.
It
is
quite
obvious
that
Soviet
Russia
intends
to
continue
its
war
of
nerves
and
propaganda
and
Mr.
Molotov,
as
the
United
States-
delegation
appears
to
sense,
is
even
using
the
conference
as
firing
ground
for
that
war.
Meanwhile
the
growing
communist-inspired
industrial
and
political
unrest
within
France
and
ftaly
and
its
admitted
bearing
upon
the
international
idealogical
scene
is
transcending-
the
Big
Four
conference
itself
in
the
news
picture.
Student
Voices
A
Race
With
Death
It
was
late
fall
in
Windy
Cove,
an
Isolated
village
on
,the
west
coast
of
British
Columbia.
The
trees
had
shed
their
leaves
and
everyone
was
preparing
for
winter
storms,
putting
up
.storm
windows
and
piling
up
wood.!
Everything
seemed
serene
except
for
the
leaden
skies
whieh
foretold
of
an
approaching
storm.
Even
in
late
morning
there
was
an-unusual
darkness.
Steve
Daisy
whistled
happily
as
he
outtered
around
his
trim
thirty-foot
cabin
crusier.
Steve
hadn't
a
worry
in
the
world.
He
had-a
little
cottage
and
soon
he
i
would
take
his
boat
out
of
the1
water
and
settle
down
to
a
quiet
carefree
winter
writln?
his
latest
book.
Yes
sir,
who
wouldn't
go
for
a
peacefull
llf?
like
this?
The-
restful
state
of
mind
which
Steve
was
enjoying
was
not
to
last,
however.
Th;
store-
.iM.cj;r.
uoa
iawrence,
broke
it
when
he
ran
un
to
Steve
with
the
news
that
his
son,.
Michael,
had
acute
appendicitis.
The
ftcareet
doctor
wnc
tivt
away
at-Safety-
Inht.
The
only
means
of
getting
Rod's
son
to
the
doctor
was
by
Steve's
cruiser
and
unless
they
could
Set
to
Sajety
Inlt
within
a
few
hours,
'it
might
be
too
late
to
save
"Mike."
As
quickly
as
possible
Mr.
Lawrence
and
Steve
prepared
for
departure.
Mrs..
Lawerence
stayed
with
"Mike"
below.
Steve
filled
the
tanks
on
the
double
while
Rod
Lawerence
made
ready
to
cast
off,
Steve
swung
into
the
pilot-house
and'piM-
u
mrter
ana
immediately
the
100
H.
P.
motor
roared
Into
life.
As
the
motor
throbbed
contentedly
Rod
pushed'
off
from
the
wharf.
Steve
swung
the
bow
towards
the
mouth
of
the
cove
and
revved
up
the
motor.
The
NEWSPAPER
COSTS
THK
management
of,
the
Daily
News,
which
is
I
probably
the
only
business
in
Prince
Rupert
which
has
not
increased
its
charges
for
either
advertising
or
subscriptions
in
four
years,
has
been
seriously
studying
its
own
costs.
Within
that
period'
of
four
years
our
mechanical
department's
basic
wage
rate
under
union
agreement
has
advanced
just
over
35
percent.
Within
the
same
period
the.
cost
of
newsprint
has
advanced
nearly
100
percent
and
the
end
is
not
yet.
Other
costs,
as
any
one
who
does
business
knows,
have
advanced
correspondingly.
Notwithstanding
these
factors,
the
circulation
of
the
Daily
News
today
is
the
largest
that
any
newspaper
in
Prince
Rupert
has
ever
enjoyed,
not
exceDting
the
abnormal
boom
days-
of
the
war.
Possibly
Prince
-Rupert
people
do
not
realize
the
crood
value
and
the
good
service
they,
have
been
gotting
from
their
newspaociv
at
a
price
to
themselves
the
reasonableness
of
which
is
the
marvel
of
other
newspaper
managements
who
hear
of
it.
boat
forged
ahead
and
picked
uo
soeed.
With
the
throttle
out
all
the
way
the
race
between
life
and
death
began.
Steve
knew
the
waters
he-
tween
Windy
Cove
and
Safety
iiniei
iiKe
the
back
of
his
hand.
The
first
40
miles
were
protected
and,
by
hugging
the
shore,
the
fastest
possible
speed
could
be
kept.
The
15
miles
of
open
water
which
lay
between,
them
and
Safety
Inlet
was
th
oniv
dangerous
part
of
the
whole
trip.
A
storm
could
spring
up
at
any
time
and
make
It
peril-
i
ously
rough.
Once
they
crossed
that
section
all
would
be
smooth
for
the
last
five
miles.
Steve
prayed
fervently
that
the
cross-
(
ing
over
the
sound
would
be
safe
and
that
their
errand
of
mercy
might
not
be
in
vain.
The
hours
dragged
by
as
the
tiny
ship
purred
along
the
shore.
Steve
kept,
a
close
watch
of
the
skies
and
the
"glass."
What
he
saw
did
nothing
to
ease
his
mind.
The
sky
was
windblown
and
forbidding
and
the
glass
looked
as
if
the
bottom
was
going
to
fall
out
of
It.
Rounding
the
last
point
before
the
sound,
the
two
men
felt
the
force
of
the
wind
strike
the
boat
but
as
yet
it
was
not
of
a
high
enough
velocity
to
make
much
difference.
Rod
made
fast
all
the
portholes
and
lay
loose
gear.
The
patient
was
acting
bravely
below
decks,
although
he
was
suffering
great
pain.
Steve
reassured
Mrs.
Law-1
rence
that
everything
would
be
taU
right
although
he
himself
was
not
anywhere
near
as
confident
as
his
word.
I
The
minutes
dragged-
by
as
'
the
storm
approached
the
course
.
of.
the
cruiser.
The
distance
seemed
little
that
they
had
travelled
and
the
motor
seemed
to
drive
the
boat
slowly
Instead
of1
the
10
knots
at
wftUch
the
pro-pellors
were
driving
them.
I
Actually
the
storm
struck
at
1
the
midpoint
of
the
channel.
It's
unleashed
furv
struck
with
unprecedented
fury.
Sheets
,of
rain
swept
the
sound.

The

Is
set
next

and
Saturday,
December
12
and
13,
for
the
anual
invasion
of
Prince-
Rupert
by
the
Ketchikan
High
School
"Polar
Bears."
The
squad
this
year
is
vir
tually
the
same
one
that
swepti
four
straight
wins
from
the!
"Rainmakers"
last
year.
They
are
a
big,
high
scoring
outfit
as
their
games
so
far
this
vear
show
and
will
probably
give
the
Bo-Me-Hl
lads
a
little
trouble
recovering
rebounds.
The
odds
certainly
point
to
Ketchikan
as
far
as
these
games
are
concerned
as
the
"Rain
makers"
have
a
less
experienced
team
than
last,

-
The
students
of
this
high
school,
however,
have
their
own
opinion
.
about
the
outcome
of
the
gam
arid,
though
they
vary
slightly,
the
general
trend
is
that
with
their
fair
share-
of
break.-the
"Rainmakers"
"should
give
them
a
"battle
royal."
