PRINCE RUPERT, B.C., SATURDAY, NOV. 9, 1929 PRICE FIVE CENTS EDITORIAL ARMISTICE DAY Monday is Armistice Day and all Prince Rupert people are invited to be present at the unveiling of the Cenotaph at the Court House grounds. The ceremonies commence sharp at 10:15, rain or shine, so that the two minutes silence may be observed at 11. It is to be hoped that as many as possible will be present to show that Prince Rupert has not forgotten the sacrifices which were made by those who dropped everything and went overseas to fi?ht for what they believed to be right. While it is eleven years since the armistice was signed there are still vacant places in-many homes. The least wc can all do, especially the younger people who arc growlnj up, is to show our appreciation of the noble acts of those who have passed on or who still remain with us, some with the scars of battle stifl on them.

Canadian Premier Addressed a Meeting Last Night at Prince George Stopping Off For an Hour Says Government May Be Depended On to Deal With Peace River Railway Outlet Wisely and Expeditiously PRINCE GEORGE, Nov. .Premier Mackenzie King stopped off here for four hours last night en route to Prince Rupert and held the first meeting of his trip in British Columbia. H. G. Perry was chairman and Mayor A. M. Patterson extended a civic welcome. After outlining what had been done by the Government in the way of tax reductions, the Premier said the present Government found a demoralized railway system when it came into power. It had consolidated the various railway lines owned by the public into one great system under sir Henry Thornton, which , . was becoming a great asset to the Dominion. The policy of the Government in regard to the Peace River district had been to make it the spear-head of Canada's immigration activities. It was a fact that settlement of the Peace district had been going on with great strides. With regard to the outlet to the Pacific, the Premier asserted It was necessary for the Government to get the co-operation of the two great railways. He assured his hearers that a Government which had dealt with the general railway situation In Can ada, had relieved the maritime railway problems, had completed tne Hudson Bay Railway and nad arougnt back the advantages of the Crow's Nest Pass Railway rates ould well be depended upon to deal wisely and expeditiously with the, question of the Peace River outlet. iCU llCiC 4 UI Repair To Engine Motorship Belllngham.
