The numir win in tlOun rm.t The King's Health The alarm over the King's health has eclipsed other news, even the continued tense international situation, during recent days. Newspapers have been giving it big top headlines, the radio has been leading its bulletins with the latest reports and in everyday conversation it has been the big subject. In church special prayers for His Majesty were said yesterday. In these days of skepticism, praeticalism and distrust, it is a pleasant thing to see the idealism and symbolism of the British crown still holding such a measure of respect. Of course, the ailing incumbent and his family have acquitted themselves in such manner that they command and merit a wide and genuine degree of esteem and affection. The great tradition still prevails in the Commonwealth even after practically all other thrones .. j " ; tiW . ., on the ground, with a" huge fur behind the o spoon sticking out of it.

Delegates from other communities were quick to point out that last year Prince George was the host of the city, and that this year several of the most important resolutions under discussion originated from the Prince George Board of Trade. These were left to be steered through the convention by men who were not in the accredited representatives of the local body. It is to their credit that the Prince George proposals, generally speaking, were favorably received. This indifferent attitude toward such an influential organization as the Associated Board of Trade cannot help but lead others to conclude that Prince George intends to adopt a "go-it-alone" policy in the matter of advancing the interests of the city and Central B.C. If true, it is a mistake. Again, at Quesnel last week the senior trade board practically boycotted a road protest meeting, and it was left to the Junior Chamber of Commerce to carry the ball for this city. Some of the older and more politically-conscious members of the city's business fraternity contend that the Quesnel meeting was fruitless and that nothing would be accomplished by mass petitions to the government. There is absolutely no basis for such conclusion, in our opinion, unless the government leaders and those who represent Central B.C. at Victoria have lost the will to remain in power. This is extremely unlikely, to say the least. Unless we keep our needs and grievances constantly before the government through organized channels, such as the Associated Board of Trade and other bodies, it is altogether likely we will continue to be neglected. Government policy-makers will naturally assume that we are satisfied and contented, which is not the case, judging by the actions taken at, the Prince Rupert and Quesnel meetings. ; . The squeaky wheel, we should remember, always gets, the most oil. Here From Fin Flon-Joins QCA Harold W.
