Unity of purpose was stressed by General Sir Archibald Mac-doneU in addressing the Anglican Cathedral congregation Sunday morning , when he showed how the Canadian army" corps developed and how that growth in unity of purpose enabled it to win battles against almost unbeatable armies. Taking his address as a text, it would be easy to preach a sermon on how Prince Rupert might be imbued by a high and noble purpose and might make such progress as would astound the world. The General told how the army officers thought in terms of platoons at first but gradually developed until all were of the Canadian army and for the Canadian army and pettiness departed. In Prince Rupert we are divided into Conservative and Liberal, into Protestant and Catholic,, into employers and employed, into optimists and pessimists. We are divided again into a number of national groups such as Scotch Canadians, Irish Canadians, Swedish Canadians, ad libitum. We have fraternal groups and social groups and there are divisions all along the line. The problem of the day is not to eliminate these divisions but to subordinate them to the one great impulse, the building up of the city. If we think Prince Rupert first and the political, social or religious' or nations group second, we shall be in a position to advance the interests of the city and to make its influence felt in ,the country. It's one of the curious things irrlife that General Macdonell with the grey eyes should be named VARIATIONS IN WEATHER CONDITIONS It's interesting to note the variations there are in the weather conditions in this north country. For instance Metlakatla does not get as much rain as Prince Rupert although it is only six or seven miles distant and the gardens there are a week or two earlier than in this city. A short distance from the coast it gets dryer and colder and some places are afflicted with strong winds while others are not. At some points on the north coast of British Columbia the rainfall is over two hundred inches a year while in Prince Rupert it seldom goes over pne hundred. One of the wet places is Surf Inlet on Princess Royal Island. Only the weak and irresolute allow themselves to ;be influenced by weather conditions. The brave and t strong delight in a battle with the elements. ; If it- is true that anticipation is better than realization so it is also worse when it is trouble that is anticipated. A FLYING HAS BECOME CRAZE Flying has become a craze this year. Everybody wants to fly. Life in the air is becoming fashionable and it seems as if we shall all have to aviate before long. It is a wonderful movement, this new' form of transportation and a great improvement over the old methods.- It brings speed and smoothness. No right of way is needed and there is no expensive road to build. As so6n as they eliminate the noise arid rtduce' the expense of operating, everybody will , be getting an air flivver and hopping off to Terrace at th.e week end for a game of golf or an apple or dish of fresh strawberries. It's easier to state things than it is prove them. And after all the world does not demand proof. What it asks is not truth but mystery. Why quarrel with the world? Utilize the good things you have and you will find that more are added as the need arises. . It was once said that misery likes company but it .might be more near the truth to say that misery makes company and miserable company at that Keep out of ihe Kitchen A SHREDDED WHEAT Meals without cooking-A treat without trouble-Buy some and try some today QI'KSTIONS ANXWEKEIl AFTER FKKE-tOK-.UJ. KEllATE AT MIXTIXO LAST NHillT ; ;' The jit j council became hopelessly tangled last night In mare of debate' centreing around the question of an agreement with the railway company and the suggestion to tai Improvement next year. The medley was brought about by a recommendation from the finance committee that the council answe'r, several questions put by the railway company In connection with then- negotiations for a five year agreement for a fixed rate of taxation. The mayor and practically all the aldermen took part In the free-for-all with the final result that the questions were answered but not exactly as the commit-teee recommended. The questions and answers were: 1 Dees the city propose to waive claim for unlevled debenture taxes for the year 1923 to 1926 against the dry- dock? Reply That the council accept 110.- COO as being the figure estimated as the amount owljig for debenture taxes. 2 Does the proposal for liability for debenture taxes only on the drydock cover the period of five years or only during the unexpired term under bylaw Reply amended to read: Only for the unexpired term which would be the years 1928 and 1929. 3 If for five years, dees the debenture levy apply to land only? Answered by No. 2. 4 Is It the' Intention that the agree ment become effective covering the current year's taxes or commencing with 1923? Answer The current year. It was explained by the mayor that If they made an agreement wlththe railway the people were the arbiters as they would have to vote on It before it became effective. A general discussion followed which strayed far from the subject and during which some of the aldermen expressed themselves strongly against taxing Improvements and others seemed opposed to making an agreement. At the close the questions were taken up one by one and disposed of as above, It being pointed out that the council had already gone -on record In favor of an agreement with the raUway. REUNION OF K. P. LODGE PLEASANT I'KOCKEIIIMSS TAKE PLACE IN liOSTOV HALL WITH CiOUIl PKOt.KAM OF- .SPEECHES, MISIC. ETC. Members of the order and .friends both men and women In goodly num ber attended the reunion held last night in the Beaton Hall by Skcena Lodge No. 45, Knights of Pythias. W. S. Fisher acted as chairman and there 'was an attractive program of music, songs and speeches and other features which was followed by dancing and cards. The proceedings opened with the singing, of the Buchan version of "O Canada" after which the blessing was asked by Rev. T. D. Rlnde. Before sitting down to the enjoyment of the festive board, the gathering stood silently for one minute In tribute to departed brethren. Throughout the dinner and. In the course of the program, there was community singing with W. Vaughan Davles at the planor The first number on the program was a mock sermon by Miss E. M.' Earle who wj moat enteitalntng, Then Miss Eleanor Moxley favored with a well-executed Irish Jig and Miss E. Davles was In good voice with vocal solos, being accompanied by Miss Marjorle Lancaster. Miss Louie Fisher was In her usual good form with recitations and a fairy dance was daintily done by Miss Annie Oil-Christ who was accompanied by her sister. Miss Margaret Otlchrlst. Miss Kathleen Bulger acquitted herself creditably with violin solos and Rev. X D. Rlnde was excellent In recitations. All numbers were encored. An outstanding feature of the program was the address of E. A. Wakefield, United States cpnsul, on "International Fraternaltam." The consul opened in his usual humorous way before launching into the seriousness of his subject. Speaking generally, he told of the advantages that were to be derived In a personal way from membership In the various organizations. Then there was the International aspect which was being gradually developed to a point where, through meeting on common ground, better understandings were being obtained between the nations through the medium of the secret societies, the service clubs, returned soldiers' organization, women's federations, etc The speaker referred at some length to the flight across the Atlantic Ocean ot Capt. Charles A, Lindbergh and the iroV; Proved feelings had apparently Jngeni-j dered between. United States and'! France wri'fcH were not unfriendly but between whom there had not seemed to exist much mutual enthusiasm. Lindbergh's visit under such circumstances had gone far to improve that feeling. PRESENTATION OF JEWELS The final part of the program was the presentation of veterans' Jewels in the order to F. W. Hart and W. 8. Fisher by M. L. Stepp, retiring chancellor com-j mander. In making the presentation,) Mr. Stepp recited the Pythian tradition of the friendship between Damon and j Pythias.
