Dont
Be
Inarticulate
THERE
ARE
PLENTY
of
good
ideas
in
Prince
A
Rupert.
The
people
here
are
thoughful
and
imaginative.
There
seems
to
be,
however,
a
failure
to
follow
up
and
get
things
done.
Take
business,
for
instance.
Opportunities
are
seen
and
appreciated.
Services
of
various
kinds
are
lacking.
Some
of
them,
it
is
igenerally
-agreed,
present
opportunities
to
combine
the
giving
of
essential
service
with
profitable
return.
Many
think,
for
instance,
that
there
is
an
opportunity
for
a
new
hotel.
We
have
been
hearing
how
an
auto
camp
or
motel
would
be
a
profitable
undertaking.
There
are
other
things
that
could
be
mentioned.
Rut
everybody
seems
to
think
somebody
W
should
do
it.
As
a
result,
nothing
gets
done.
Here
in
the
newspaper
office
we
get
plenty
of
free
advice
about
campaigns
we
should
start,
causes
we
should
support,
editorials
we
should
;
Wrile,
views
we
should
express.
Yes,
we
get
plenty
of
free
advice,
often
about
things
we
have
;ben,)iarping
upon
for
years
ourselves
with
mighty
'little
support
or
backing
as
far
as
John
Q.
Public
himself
in
Prince
Rupert
is
concerned.
On
the
one
hand
many
of
us
are
inactive,
lack
initiative.
We
have
ideas
but
we
do
nothing
more
than
think
about
them
or
discuss
them
on
the
street
comer.
Otherwise
we
are
inarticulate,
We
have
ideas
about
what
other
people
should
do
or
say
but
we
do
not
come
out
ourselves.
There
is.
one
thinjr
that
the
'Daily
News
is
always
ready
and
glad
to
do
that
is
to
pass
along
and
give
expression
to
the
ideas,
the
suggestions,
the
views
of
the
people.
These
may
not
always
be
appropriate
for
one
reason
or
another
for
editorial
expression,
However,
there
is
always
space
to
be
found
in
the
paper
one
way
or
another
for
the
liberal
presentation
of
these
ideas.
Prince
Rupert
people
may
not
be
as
enterprising,
as
ingenious
and
active
as
they
might
be.
There
is
no
reason,
however,
for
them
to
be
inarticulate
as
long
as
the

is

A
IANK'S
BIRTHDAY
THE
130TH
ANNIVERSARY
of
the
Bank
of
I
Montreal
next
Monday
recalls
not
:.only
the
founding
of
Canada's
first-established
bank
in
1817
but
the
very
beginning
of
the
nation's
banking
system.
Canada's
branch
banking
system
has
stood
steadfast
through
all
the
11ns
and
flnvvns
nf
peace
and
war
since
colonial
times,
and
it
has
been
hailed
the
world
over
for
its
strength
and
flexibility.
Because
of
the
unsettled
times
through
which
Canada
in
common
with
all
the
world
is
passing,
t-M
occasion
of
the
Bank's
130th
anniversary
is
especially
worth
noting.
The
study
of
history
has
been
called
the
best
cordial
for
weary
spirits,
and
Recollection
of
the
endeavours,
through
the
years,
of
pioneer
Canadians,
in
such
enterprises
as
their
banking
system,
helps,
perhaps,
to
keep
our
per-fspective
clear
in
these
days
of
flux
and
diverse
thinking.
FLIGHTS

the
ones
that

But

and

valuable
lives
are
finished

CANADA'S
FIRST
REAL
MONEY
One
of
the
first
steps
taken
by
the
Bank
pf
Montreal
after
its
founding,
in
1817,
was
to
issue
its
own
bills.
Canada's
first
bank
bills,,
did
much
to
facilitate
the
development
of
trade
and
commence
in
the
young
colony.
Until
then,
Canadians
had
to
rely
on
an
unwielding
mixture
of
foreign
currencies
which
circulated
in
the
country.
As
tehlr
rates
of
exchange
constantly
fluctuated,
the
transaction
of
business
was
a
difficult
matter,
and
trade
was
conducted
chiefly
by
barter.
The
bills
reproduced'
above
are
specimens
of
the
bank's
first
money.
On
the
two-dollar
bill
appears
a
picture
of
one
,of
the.
steamboats
that
travelled
on
the
St.'
Lawrence
River
in
those
days.
It
is
believed
to
be
one
of
several
owned
by
the
Hon.
John
Molson,
a
famous
Montreal
merchant
of
the
early
19th
century,
who,
from
1826
to
1834,
was
president
of
the
Bank
of
Montreal.
