Through the years individuals have come and rone who, of their own volition, have done much ‘or Prinee Rupert without receiving in return the least recognition or credit, Although they expected nothing, it is disturbing to think there was appar- ently so little civie pride that their activities were regarded with indifference. If there was any re- sponse, it was too often one of criticism. There is, however, too much evidence of com- munity enterprise to suppose that this accurately represents the rea] spirit of Prince Rupert. For every sceptic there are probably a dozen citizens who recognize and appreciate a good civie effort when they see one, but have lacked the impetus and means to say so. Consequently their silence eould be wrongly interpreted as disinterest. This is the unfortunate cireumstanee which the Jaycees intend to correct. In doing so, they them- selves are performing an aet of goed citizenship which merits warm applause. While those who are voluntarily promoting eivie improvement will con- tinue to de so, with or without any public gesture, it is encouraging to know that every year one will be singled out fer special thanks. It is hoped—and there is already reason to be- lieve—that donations will be sufficient to express these thanks in a tangible and fitting manner. Railroad, Not An Elevator Aza champion of northern develop- ment, Page Rideout of Nelson, is a staunch advocate of extensive rail service for the Peaee River country. He sees tied in, with this a greater and more useful development of Prinee Rupert as a grain port. In view of their signifieanee to this re- gion, we publish below his recent observations on the subject which he has sent to the Daily News: It might be recalled that some little time ago we started an imaginary train of wheat out of Daw- son Creek for Vancouver, and we found that when the train arrived at its destination it had travelled, 1,220 miles as against some 486 miles if the train could have headed from Dawson Creek to Prince Rupert. Then the radio news this morning tells of a boat loading with barley at an elevator at Prince Rupert and clearing for Japan on record time. If that boat came from Japan, she saved a thousand miles on the round trip by coming to Prince Rupert instead of going to Vancouver, Now, with this line-up of faets before them, should the people of the Peace River country become excited and press the powers that be into expending the necessary capital to raise one of those giant elevators (say at McLennan) that might be used oc- casionally in a decade of years to help our railways meander our grain around a smal] kingdom to dump it into that hogshead at Vancouver? Or should they press for putting the elevator cost inte a fund for extending the two branches of the Northern Alberta Railway to Hudson Hope where Sir Donald Mann would have a No. 2 Pitts- burgh? From there it would go oy up the Grand Canyon of the Peace where the late Sir John R. McNichol would have six large dams and power plants, Then it would go on to give rail service to the large Man- son mining fields, and still on te open up Mt. Seuil which is a vast mineral storehouse. It would con- tinue next to Finlay Forks where Samuel 0’Feroul, of New York, said there would be a large railway junction if that B.C, block was in any one of the 48 States, Finally it would go on to join the old Grand Trunk Pacific at Hazelton, and continue to Prince Rupert where it would open up the city as an over- seas port with trans-Pacifie sailings on regular schedule by overseas liners. Now may we ask our friends who are half blind, dreaming of the thrills under the lights on Hastings St., to sit down and figure it out on the map whether the elevater or the extended railway would be more in line with common sense and reason. —PAGE RIDEOUT As @ SAYS | See It BY El ore P h poll Dao | SC DEFILES BIBLE ottawa I HAVE not campaigned for any political party in Canada since 1935 when I flew ever a vast part of northern Ontario to help elect a then-brand-new- comer to politices—the now famous strongman, Rt.
