UP we notice an Associated Boards of Trade delegates' welcome display, which Ave 'think -mdrks an unprecedented new expression of community Spirit. Dainty little cakes have been arranged to form the setting for a welcome sign. One of the little groups spells "Co-op" and the other "P.R.GC." (Prince Rupert Chamber of Commerce,) We like the gesture and see beyond the mere words a new attitude of unity and well-wishing of groups within the community. ".! Possibly some of us would never have expected to see the time when the Co-op and the Chamber of Commerce would ever be combined together in gesture of this nature. But this is the kind ofUhing 4hat 'indicates the spirit of co-operation which -jgftmilds and develops communities and districts. mmJThere jmaybe some theories in which the co-ops and 'SSlheainbers of commerce may not have much in Jaomnion but there is something satisfying to see them get together in welcoming a group df dele- -KJSates, such as those who are gathering today for """the JAlociated Boards convention, a group which has as its objective the building up and development of the district and its communities -for the commoncgood of all.' Hats off, we say' to the co-op, for this -broad-minded gesture! & V B. C: PRODUCTS SHOW THQSE WHO ATTEND the B. 'C.

We have had the opportunity of a, preview of the Show and found it a graphic exposition, most efficiently arranged, of awie and interesting variety of goods and articles iproduced in British Columbia. In fact, thereare many almost amazing features certainly a lot qI things we had hardly even' thought could be made here. ; . Vying with the exhibits of manufactured goods from the southern part of the province are some very creditable displays of local manufacturers i and business people. ". We can assure our readers'of a novel and inter-! estin show and recommend that ' all should -see it. : PALESTINE 'QUESTION j THE U.N. PALESTINE investigating commis-; I sion will be made up of representatives of Australia, Iran, India, Czechoslovakia, The Netherlands, Sweden, Uruguay, Canada, Peru, Guatemala ; and Yugoslavia . . . There are roughly 10 possible solutions which they could recommend on Septem- - ber 1, the deadline for completion of their job. They run like this, with the first four calling for inde-' penuence almost immediately : 1. -Ai Arab-Jewish dual nation. 2. Partition into individual Jewish and Arab countries. 3. A Jewish country. 4. An, Arab country. - 5. Placing Palestine under UN trusteeship with Britain as sole, administrator. 6. Placing Palestine under UN trusteeship, with several countries as joint administrators. 7. Placing Palestine Under UN ; trusteeship, with the UN itself as administrator. (Such a plan suggested by former Secretary of State James Byrnes for the Italian colonies). 8. A Palestine government along the lines of that uraited lor Trieste in the Italian ueaee treatv. Under this system the Holy Land would be 'placed directlv under Hip Rprnrirrf'.minh51 wUV. fW Vr.r1 1 to name a Governor and supervise the administra-tion Ihrouch him. . 9. A, protectorate relationship such as France has i - with Morocco. Under this plan, there would be limitations on Palestine's foreign relations and its military outlay. 10. ;Some tvpe of interim government, iprobably under the UN, to -take over until affinal decision couldbe Reached.

On behalf of the Prince Rupert Chamber of Commerce as a whole and on behalf of each member individually may i extend a hearty welcome to Prince Rupert to every special visitor and every delegate to this annual convention of the Associated Boards of Trade of Central British Columbia. As a new era opens In the development of Prince Rupert and all this vast territory which we represent, It is Important and fitting that we should gather together. May our discussion of common problems be mutually beneficial and may our mingling on this auspicious occasion further Cement our associations and Understanding's "Sir Charles Hays, who was, president of 'the Grand Trunk Paelflc Railway, had fond -'hopes 6fma1cing Prince Rupert'U'roflJor link with the Orletit, ut.-wlth his loss when -the Titanic was tunk in i9l2, man-, plans wtre abandoned.

' He's iust over on a - visit, but he told me he'd ike to eet over "here to live. He doesn't much like the "way things are going over there. He's a workineman.-and he voted Labor, thinking that some planned economy, as'they call it, 'would be good tor the country and for th workingman. But, he says, already ii raw gone rar cnougn' to make Win realree br.j thing, that the planneri wn u ever 6iop. futaflnVw ltoti "They bring in -one control. Tlien they find that to make the first control eifective they have to liave an6ther one. And the second control makei it 'essential to have another one And so it" goes. There's no -stopping. It has- to' go that way because there is no -other wav And all the time - the government departments and bureaux keep on multiplying, and all the time'the workingman and hjs Wife haVe lcss and less" to say about where they will live and how they Will trend their tnonev and how their 'thildfen-are going to be educated, ind so lOrth. 'He says-if I -went to England now I'd be amad at the difference in their Way of :living. There's a cpvernment control 6n pretty nearly 'evervthing now, and more coming ill the 'time. And it isn't as If the planners "were 'improving Tnueh'of anything. Things keep on getting worse, arid that ; means more planning.

LETTERBOX Editor, Dally .News: In your paper of August i there "Dnears an article regarding the postal staff here and what Is reported to be a statement by the regional director. In this statement he is reported as saylnjr that, prior to his arrival this year on a tour of inspection, here had been no reduction In staff since the end of hostilities. This statement is to say the least -a gross .misrepresentation of the facts as the following figures will shew: Clerks employed at end of hos tilities: Main Office 20; Station B 4 and 1 part time. 'Clerks employed as of "May I 1947: Main Office 16; Station B 2. 'This was a voluntary reduction caused by clerks resignlnc tnd not belli" replaced. 'Since Mr. Clark-s visit the' staff has been further curtailed so hat at present we have: "Main Office 13; StaWon'B 1. "These figures do not include the' Posf master or Assistant Post- "master.
