Would
Make
This
Port
INTERESTING
of
a
shipping
concern
of
the
mag--I
nitude
and
importance
of
the
Blue
Funnel
Line,
which
plies
the
seven
seas
and
for
many
years
has
been
-a
dominating
factor
in
world
shipping
and
commerce,
in
the
port
of
Prince
Rupert
would
be
an
incident
the
great
significance
of
which
could
hardly
be
over-estimated.
For
nearly
forty
years
now,
we
have
envisioned
Prince
Rupert
as
a
great
world
shipping
port.
Entry
of
a
shipping
organization
sucn
a&
Blue
Funnel
here
would
undoubted-
ly,
mark
the
culmination
of
that
vision
of
utilization
of
this
port,
the
strategic
position
of
which
has-long
been
recognized
and
which
the
recent
war
emphasized.
Blue
Funnel
did
much
to
pioneer
world
shipping
through;
the
port
of
Vancouver
half
a
century
and
more
ago',
having
been
a
steady
user
of
that
port
throughout
the
years
since
except
when
such
conditions
as
war's
emergency
and
the
current
scarcity
of
shipping
interrupted
or
curtailed
it.
What
Blue
Funnel
idid
for
Vancouver
in
the
way
of
building
up
its
world
shipping
would,
undoubtedly,
be
repeated
in
Prince
Rupert.
Its
organization
would,
of
course,
exercise
the
function
of
routing
and
developing
cargoes.
The
current
credible
information
that
Blue
Funnel
js
on
the
point
of
acquiring
the
great
warehouse
and
shipping
facilities
which
the
United
States
"Army
established
here
during
the
war
and
which
are
now
in
the
hands
of
War
Assets
is
momentous
news
and
would
constitute
another
of
many
major
developments
which
during
the
past
year
have
opened
up
a
new
perspective
for
the
port
of
Prince
Rupert
and
the
whole
contiguous
territory
tributary
thereto.
KEEP
MILITARY
SECRETS
SOMETIMES
former
soldiers
have
the
opinion
that,
once
they
are
free
of
military
service,
it
does
not
matter
what
they
talk
about.
As
a
matter
of
fact
the
soldier
is
just
as
responsible
after
discharge
as
before.
Under
the
provisions
of
the
Official
Secrets
Act
of
1939
it
is
a
criminal
offence
for
soldiers
and
civilians
to
reveal
anything
Of
a
military
nature.
It
is
unlawful
to
use
any
information
prejudicial
to
th$country
as
a
whole.
It
is
illegal
to
retain
anymjltary
sketch,
plan
or
document
in
his
possession"
except'
under
special
circumstances.
Even
then,
he
is
responsible
for
its
safe
keeping.

VALUE.
OF
FORESTS
TODAY,
as
in
ages
past
the
forests
are
of
priceless
value
to
the
people
of
Canada.
How
true
this
is
of
British
Columbia,
and
how
accurately
it
fife
Skeena

.
Prince
Rupert.
A
United
States
periodical
has
the
following
eloquent
tribute:
"In
our
first
centuries,
the
forest
meant
almost
everything
to
the
setter.
Besides
suiter,
it
provided
fuel
for
his
home
and
industry.
He
ate
its
nuts
and
irults
and
berries
with
no
less
relish
than
its
abundant
game.
His
swine
and
cattle
foraged
on
Its
mast
and
undergrowth.
His
transportation
was
in
wooden
boats
or
on
wooden
wagons
drawn
along
wooden
roads
and
across
wooden
bridges.
His
land
was
so
lavishly
fenced
with
wood
that
by
1875
-the
value
of
fences
in
America
exceeded
the
value
of
the
fields.
The
land,
when
cleared,
was
fertilized
with
stump
ash.
Sarsaparilla
and
ginseng
and
black
spruce
beer
filled
the
forest-man's
medicine
chest.
His
cordage,
furniture
and
implements
(from
wooden
harrows
to
wooden
clocksi
came,
too,
from
the
woods.
He
slept
first
.
in
a
logcradle
and
last
in
a
plank
coffin."
The
foregoing,
which.
applies
to
the
States
of
the
Arrierican
Union
is
equally
true
of
the
province's
of
Canada.
And
the
lessons
to
be
drawn
from
each
emphasizes
again,
the
vital
need
of
preservation.
No
natural
resource,
essential
in
so
many
different
ways
as
;
d
is,;
can
be
said
to
be
inexhaustible.
