Enterprising men and women go in ahead of civilization and do - the preparatory work, making it possible for otheraleas enterprising to follow. Take the case of Captain Burke who lost his life in the northern interior recently and whose body has just been brought out for burial. He was a hardy pioneer. He took risks which may seem foolish and lie loet Had he returned he would have been somewhat of a hero. All those who go in advance of civilisation are taking risks. Many people came to Prince Rupert and enjoyed the hardships of a pioneer town. They waded through mud, worked bard under difficult conditions, laid the foundations of th$ity ajnd others are reaping where they sowed, Only.cpmparstjyely few of the pioneers are here today l ! tov, That lif THE DAILY NEWS and they are rapidly dwindling in numbers. Some are still! poor and some are poorer than they were when they came ! here. It is part of the hazard of the pioneer. Today Prince Rupert is anything but a pioneer city. It ; has practicallv all the advantages of the larger centres. It h$B developed rapidlyjjand still developing, As we look thick wji-see whaf it was likelhere only a few years ago and Ti)dir howwe managed n those days. TALK OF HARD TIMES Only a few days ago two residents of the city were discussing Tiard times, and attention was drawn to what it was like in Prince Rupert in the fall of 1918. That was the year of the great plague of Spanish Influenza. It hit Prince Rupert bru. People were dying every day. funerals were as common as whist drives and Christmas trees are today. The schools and churches and theatres were closed. Bpjs den Street School was turned into a hospital. The town was full of rumors in those days. As you walked down the street your neighbor remarked that it, was too bad about Dick Robinson dying. In the next block you met. Dick Robinson looking anything but a dead mam That fall business was almost at a standstill. The streets looked deserted and the only cheering note was the com-, ing of peace in November. It is sometimes p-ood to look back and take cheer from the past We survived that terrible autumn and conditions improved rapidly.

Bring the Boys ttnd Girls Back Home! How often haye we all deployed, theJact that thousands upon, thousands of our most promising young men and women find it necessary to, leave. X Canada, in order to seeK in tome other country opportunities tot the employment o( their talents that seem tq.be lacking here? As individuals w have deplored it, bscausein these cabes the sorrow that is caused us through the breaking. of family circles and home ties ts ' accentuated by a sense of irrevocable lossK due to a feeling that the separation is gping to be permanent. And from a broad national standpoint we have deplored it, because it has meant a serious drain upon the very kind of population gifted, energetic, ambitious that we moat need to help in developing our magnificent natural resources. Must we continue to rear and educate our children to equip them as beat we can or thesucwssful careers we hope will be, theizsr-only. tahse them to an alien (lag because of tho dearth of opportunity, for them at home? Opportunity of any kind is a resxilt, of which production of some kind is always the cause. Moat people create their opportunity by engaging directly in some form of production, such as farming, fishing, mining, lumbering or manufacturing. These people provide the founda ti'on and, according as they succeed, opportunity a created for others in all the occupations, that constitute the super-structure, such as transportation, banking, insurance, trading, the professions and public service. The more the people of a country fayor their own producers, thus giving the latter all the incentive necessary to increase the volume and broaden the scope of their production the more abundant will be the immediate opportunities they create for themselves, and the future opportunities they create for their children. If in the past opportunity has not been as abundant in Canada as it has been, elsewhere, it is because Canadian producers as a class have- not been as successful a,s producers elsewhere, have been. And the chief reason our producers have been leas successful is because they have failed to receive from, Canadian citizens generally the same-loyal support that th producers in certain other countries have received from their citizens. Some of these countries import practically nothing tha t they are capable of producing for themselves. But we Canadians are so careless about our daily buying, so thoughtless of the. welfare of our producers so short-sighted, about keeping the door of opportunity open for our sons and daughters, that every working day we allow ourselves to be sold about 92,500,000 worth of imported merchandise that our own producers would have been glad to make tor us, if. we had only given them the chancel Why not let us all resolve- that (rem now on we'll try to bring our boys and fiirls back home by remembering, in our buying, that it must always be "Canada Fizat"l Very sincerely yo.urs, 1. ..
