Prince Rupert got its name in a nation-wide contest in which everyone in Canacia could take part. In 1906 Charles Melville Hays decided to build a transcontinental railway and it was going to end on the north Parific coast, at beautiful Lima bay A born promoter and one accustomed to V PRINCE RUPERT BOWLING ALLEYS SJIINjlWI'li'TWVI! it!;"' carry things ovner "on , grand St ti f i-f . l' style, the American-bretft Hays " V- ..t l:t ., .

The industry as a whole is keenly interested in good nla-tionship between employer aril employee, and for this pmpose personnel departments have b-en added to operating organizations. This new agency, through the medium of grouo discussions, serves well in knitting management and labor into closer teamwork by sharing some of the re-sp m: abilities of ouerationul planning and improvements. A major duty of this new department is the matter of accident prevention. Constant efforts are made to instruct logging crews to work safely. Companies conduct courses in iob safety training, with special attention given to rookie loggers, many of whom soon 'adopt the "safety" J habit.
