of

like

of

over

economic

can

HIGHWAYS,
HERE
AND
THERE
THERE
ARE
TWO
WAYS
of
looking
at
high-I
ways.
The
United
States
government
takes
one
view,
the
Canadian
government
the
other,
says
the
Vancouver
Province.
'
The
United
States
government
looks
upon
highways
as
public
utilities
highly
desirable
in
their
own
'
right
It
realizes,
of
course,
that
construction
of
these
utilities
can
be
used
to
create
employment
and
keep
the
nation
from
falling
into
a
depression.
But
in
Washington's
view
the
highways
come
first
and
employment
second.
You
cannot
plan
a
highway
system
properly,
the
American
engineers
say,
if
you
regard
it
as
primarily
a
relief
project.
The
Dominion
government,
on
the
other
hand,
looks
upon
work
on
highways
as
a
hedge
against
depression
and
a
primer
of
economic
pumps.
In
Ottawa's
view,
the
making
of
work
is
the
more
important
consideration.
The
highways
themselves
come,
second.
These
opposing
views,
of
course,
have
a
direct
ana
poweriui
influence
on
the
policies
of
the
two
governments
mentioned.
The
United
States
government
is
busily
engaged
upon
a
master
plan
of
highways
for
the
nation.
In
co-operation
with
the
states
and
cities
it
is
planning
and
building
a
vast
system
of
super-highways
to
meet
the
transportation
needs
of
the
day.
Canada,
on
the
other
hand,
is
waiting
for
a
depression.
Then,
it
is
intimated,
she
will
do
some
highway
building
on
a
national
scale.
The
United.
States
plan
envisions
the
construction
of
high-speed
roads.
The
Canadian
plan
there
isn
t
any.
There
is
another
difference
between
the'
two
countries.
In
the
United
States,
it
appears
to
be
the
federal
government
that
is.
planning
and
pushing
highway
construction.
It
is
making
half
a
billion
dollars
a
year
for
each
of
the
first
three
post-war
years
available
to
the
states
that
will
co-operate.
But
some
of
the
states
and
cities
are
hanging
back
because
of
the
expense.
In
Canada,
the
states
arid
cities
want
the
highways,
but
feel
themselves
handicapped
by
the
lack
of
federal
assistance.
BOOSTER
ISSUE
IT
WAS
LIKE
a
breeze
from
the
past
to
receive
the
other
day,
a
copy
of
the
industrial
development
number
of
the
Daily
News
from
Prince
pert.
The
war
and
continuing
shortages
of
newsprint
have
conspired
to
restrain
the
enthusiasm
of
editors
for
their
favorite
communities,
so
that
we
have
not
had
many
of
these
special
numbers
for
several
years.
It
is
characteristic
of
the
booster
issue
to
find
a
community
on
the
pioneer
fringe,
as
:
Prince
Rupert
is,
to
be
among
the
first
to
get
back
into
the
business
of
booming
the
home
town.
As
they
reflect
the
optimism
of
Canadians
eacer
to
conquer
new
frontiers,
vvp
hope
that
we
shall
see
more
of
these
development
numbers
from

LETTERBOX
AFTER
PORT
DAY
Editor,
Dally
News:
Port
Day
Is
past
and
gone
and,
perhaps,
It
would
be
better
to
say
nothing
and
let
It
be
forgotten
too.
Howver,
your
statement
about
It
In
Waterfront
Whiffs
cannot
pass
unchallenged.
I
quote:
"Port
Day
was
given
an
enthusiastic
response
by
every
section
of
the
marine
community
which
Is
a
healthy
sign
for
Prince
Rupert."
Where
was
your
reporter?
On
the
waterfront
or
rocked
In
the
arms
of
Morpheus
as
were
mosi
of
the
sections
of
the
marine
community
at
10:15
In
the
morning?
It
Is
time
we
stopped
this
mutual
"back
pattine"
and.
when
a
show
Is
a
flop,
admit
It,
and
find
the
cure.
Let
us
be
frank
and
say
that
Port
Day
1947
was
badly
organized,
poorly
run
and
abominably
supported
by
the
marine
community
(with
the
exception
of
those
who
so
generously
contributed
cashi.
The
general
public
turned
out
In
numbers
that
should
have
shamed
anyone
responsible
for
the
show.
Speaking
personally
for
a
moment
I
was
ashamed
to
be
seen,
in
the
excuse
for
a
marine
parade
that
started
the
day.

then

of
the
British
Navy

the
least.

The
races
were
confusion
throughout.
The
ne

course
took
away
about
seventy-five
per

of
the
spectator
interest
and
the
lack
of

made

contests

Criticism,
I
know,
should
be
constructive.

"It's
