' For life is greater than they think. Who fret along its shallow bars. Swing out the gloom to float or sink And front the ocean and the stars. CAMPBELL SCOTT, F.U.C.S., Litt. D., DUNCAN was one of the great poets of Canada. His genius-ranged over a wide field, including prose stories as well as poetry, and found expression in a variety of forms, hut his chief appeal to his readers was in his lyrics. There is an indication of this in the short poem quoted above entitled "The Ideal." A deep thinker, imaginative and artistic in his treatment of his themes, sympathetic, overflowing with love fT the beautiful in nature as well as for the finer qualities in mankind, this sweet singer of Ottawa' bountifully enriched Canadian letters. He was, above everything, a poet of climate and atmosphere, employing with a nimble, graphic touch the dear, pure, transparent colors of a richly-furnished palette. He leaves unrecorded no single phase in the pageant of the northern year. . . . His work abounds in magically humorous phrases- and stanzas particularly happy was he in the phrases suggested to him by the songs of birds. Nor was his talent merely descriptive. There was a philosophic and also a romantic strain in it. . . . He was, before everything, a colorist. He painted in lines of a peculiar and vivid translucency. Although the greater part of his life was spent in the service of the Dominion government's Department of Indian Affairs, Dr. Scott was essentially a poet. He did not permit the routine duties of his office to crowd out his beautiful dreams. His poesy flowered even in the field of ordinary, everyday -affairs in the department. Dr. Scott was also well known as a writer of prose. A Denver youth crawled through a skylight to gaze at the full moon and fell into the street. This Is a tough worW f er tlrramerj.

In spite of inclement weather, which kept the studio audience lnthe Civic Centre small, there we're $142 in bids turned in. Most of the talent for which the bids were placed will be heard tonight. Announcers on last night's program were Neil Ross and Bert Jeffreys who kept the program running smoothly despite an occasional difficulty In getting some of the performers to the hall Immediately after their bids were placed. Apparently the most popular performer on last night's program was Harold Whalen, who made three appearances singing "I'm Waiting for Ships That Never Come in" on two occasions by requests, and "I Love You Truly." Alice Strand and Margaret Strachan, a schoolgirl piano and accordian team, did a repeat performance for substantial bids. Other performers were Andrew Letourneau, piano solo; Ian Dunbar, vocal solo "Stout Hearted Men;" Joanne Langridge, vocal solo, "Bless This House;" Mrs. J. R. Elfert, piano solo; Helen Hib- j bard, piano solo; Ella Marie Bagshaw, vocal solo "Danny Boy," and Eleanor Hood, vocal solo "Somewhere in the Night." Mrs. J. S.

It Is shocking to hear anyone mentioning of scrapping them now on thieve of real development. If they are, as they surely ar?. of permanent nature for the port's use, why did the C.N.fi permit the perpetration of such abuse? We are often remlndpcl that the C.N.R. has the interests of Prince Rupert at heart. Why then did it let such plums pass out of their hands at the start1 Of all the abuses that Prince Rupert had endured, this Is the most outrageous of them all. Pioneers of Rupert, let your indignation sky-rocket and sec that the goverment clays ball! Let those in authority exercise their wisdom and end talk of scrapping Installations worth millions. The American Installations are of permanent nature and belon? to the port. Pioneers, raise your voice and see that their true object no one is allowed to distort. The Chamber of Commerce's attitude relative to this matte' is Prince Rupert's stand. It Is a timely act that we as a com munity highly commend.
