Very
Pleased
With
New
Plan
Regular
Dinner
Meeting
Last
Night
With
upwards
of
twenty
members
in
attendance,
the
regular
monthly
dinner
meeting
of
the
Junior
Section
of
the
Prince
Rupert
Chamber
of
Commerce
was
held
last
night
in
the
Knox
Hotel.
President
Ocorge
Rorle
was
In
the
chair
and
business
to
a
large
extent
was
of
a
routine
character.
Included
In
correspondence
was
a
communication
from
Tom
Workman,
president
of
the
British
Co
lumbia
Junior
Chambers
of
Commerce,
suggesting
that
the
development
of
tourist
traffic
was
something
that
all
junior
chambers
of
commerce
In
the
province
might
unite
upon
with
unanimity
of
pur-pose.
In
this
connection
attention
of
the
chamber
was
drawn
to
a
tourist
highway
plan
of
Gordon
Oraup
of
Vancouver
which
proposed
that
tourists,
after
visiting
Vancouver
and
Victoria,
should
proceed'
up
Vancouver
Island
to
Campbell
River
and
thetice
by
y
boat
to
BeUaT
Cobla
where
Jthey
ihey'.
would
take
a
highway
route
into
the
Chllcotin
and
Cariboo
district
and
back
south.
It
was
suggested
that
the
highway
from
Bella
Coola
Into
I
the
interior
could
be
put
In
shape
In'a
year.
Naturally
the
plan
which
would
shut
off
Prince
Rupert
and
the
central
Interior
country
en
tirely
did
not
appeal
very
strongly
to
the
local
Junior
chamber.
Pre
sldcnt
Rorie
appointed
a
committee
consisting
of
Al
Newman.
James
Parker
and
H.
O.
Kennedy
to
go
Into
the
subject.
Other
correspondence
Included
a
letter
from
the
Junior
Chambers
of
Commerce
of
Canada
setting
forth
details
of
projected
activities
3t
the
national
section
and
inquiring
as
to
local
activities.
S.

wrote
in
acknowledgement
6f
a
gift
which
had
been
made
in
connection
with
his
departure
from
the

also
advising
that
he
was
affiliating

the
Junior

In

The
New

of

sent

Tourist
Publicity
Steve
Prudhomme,
drawing
at
tention
to
the
lack
or
puonciiy
Prince
Rupert
received
in
Canadian
National
Railways
tourist
publications,
urged
that
some
local
initiative
should
be
shown
in
this
matter.
After
all,
It
could
not
be
expected
that
outside
Interests
would
be
looking
after
the
place
If
people
here
were
asleep.
He
suggested
that
slogans
might
be
printed
on

of
local
business
men
and
that
another
medium
mieht
be
the

stamp.
It
was
decided
to
add
Mr
Prudhomme
to
the
outside

committee.
Foster

urged
that

go

(CP)
An
independent
monetary
system
for
Alberta,
including,
distinctive
money
to
circulate
within
provincial
boundaries,
is
one
of
the
recommendations
of
a
cabinet
comfnittee
established
to
formulate
a
Social
Credit
plan
fpr
the
province,
it
is
learned.
f
The
money
would
be
negotiable
and
would
'be
issued
by
state
credit
houses.
Some
quarters
believe
that
a
constitutional
crisis
may
develop
if
Alberta
carries
out
such
a
plan.
The
planning
committee
also
recommends
the
extension
of
legislation
adjusting
private
and
public
debts,
the
reduction
of
taxation
by
issue
of
interest
free
money
to
take
