Advertising and Circulation Telephone , Editor and Reporters Telephone , Member of Audit Bureau of Circulations DAILY EDITION CHIEF EXECUTIVE HERE The chief executive of the Canadian National Railways on the Pacific Coast is in the city and should receive a hearty welcome from local people. Holding the position he does under Sir Henry Thornton, Col. Hiam is in a position to do much for Prince Rupert and the whole northern district served by the Canadian National Railway. Doubtless it will be pointed out to him how slow the railway has been to recognize the value of this section of the system and the disabilities under which Prince Rupert has labored. It will also, doubtless, be shown him what advantages this port would have as the outlet for the Peace River country. We believe Colonel Hiam has been quick to recognize the importance of this section of the country and especially its future potentialities. Doubtless he also realizes that in time the much despised Prince Rupert "branch" will become the tail that will wag the dog. THE NEW FEDERAL MINISTER (Winnipeg Free Press) The re-entering of public life by Mr. Crerar is a matter for congratulation all around though, no doubt, in a material sense it means a sacrifice to Mr. Crerar. It brings into Parliament and into the Gpvernment an experienced and able public man, who is very specially equipped to render valuable service to the country at this particular time. Mr. Crerar has already served the country asAcabinet officer and he has boenthe rational leader of a CtfHUcaLparty; he is. therefore, equipped by experience, und Central British Columbia, . . ., o.uu. 1.00 .93 f Thursday, January 9. 1980 1 I piesented to the sthool board, at Its monthly meeting last night, by the j piiuclpals: I Boys Girls TU.

Mr. Crerar haB been in the past roundly denounced as the champion of sectional policies. There never was any basis for the charge. The policies which Mr. Crerar haB always advocated and which he will no doubt continue to support to the ectent of his influence, have always been justified by him aB in the interests of the whole country : and to the extent that they have been applied, his judgment in this respect has been confirmed. Mr. Crerar has held and advocated the simple understandable doctrine that by keeping the burden of tariff taxation low. bv licrhteninp in every way possible transportation charges, 'by opening up j u"u w-uuiogiiiu uuw (ivuiuBs ui tuuimunicauon, primary production of all kinds is encouraged; and that development along these lines affords the surest foundation for national growth and prosperity. That with these known vietys he should have been invited by Mr. King to accept arrjmportant portfolio in his Government is a significant political event.
