TOUGH ON EVERYBODY It's tough on everyone in the} Finlay River country that there are no doctors or nurses in there There never will be a flourishing population, regardless of the natural wealth of the country, so long as there are no health and welfare agencies nearer than Prince George, Vanderhoof or Fort St. John, They need a permanent opera- tor at Finlay Forks and a high powered radio sending and re- ceiving station. There was such a Station there once, but it was taken out when the equipment was needed elsewhere. if the health and welfare of the few people in the valley is of less value than the cost of a radio station, then, of course, it Liberals Told To Organize OTTAWA (CP) — Key Liberal workers urged today they em- bark on an “efficient dnd early” organization in preparation for the federal general election.

His frail}. boat got into trouble and three hundred feet from shore, cap- sized. Mort went down but not out and boldy struck for surface and shore. Roy MacDougall, who had been helping an Indian fix bis Outboard motor, noticed Mort splashing in the river and hur- riedly went to his aid, This tough “Blue Nose” was (Continued on page 6) Winds of 80 miles an hour and 55-foot waves slammed at the Aorangi 600 miles southwest of Cape Flattery as she headed on her third to the last voyage to, Australia, The 17,491-ton vessel radioed the Dominion public weather office at 9 am.

Death Claims Well-Known Fisherman Louis Larsen, 68-year-old vet- eral Pacific Coast halibut fish- erman, died suddenly Saturday night seconds before entering his home after attending a card party. Born in Denmark, Mr, Larsen fished out of Prince Rupert and Vancouver since 1912 and was one of the best known fishermen along the coast. He and Mrs. Larsen had at- tended a party at the Moose Hall and were returning home with Mr, and Mrs. Bert Glassey when he collapsed. He was help- ed into his home but was dead on arrival of a doctor. Before coming to make his home in Prince Rupert, Mr. Lar- sen fished out of Seattle after working on sailing ships during his early life in Denmark. He had completed fishing for the year only last week and had planned to remain in port for the balance of the winter. Besides his wife, he leaves two daughters, Mrs. A. E.
