PRINCE RUPERT - BRITISH COLUMBIA Published Every Afternoon, Except Sunday, by Prince Rupert Daily News, Limited, Third Avenue H. F. PULLEN Managing-Editor Member of Audit bureau 01 Circulations DAILY EDITION Wednesday, June 4, 1941. EDITORIAL Need For Housing to be a complete success without proper housing facilities for the men employed so that they may bring their families to live in the city. The federal government realizes this and, where the need is really great to enable the proper carrying on of a vital war industry, they sometimes build houses for the use of the families of employees. This, it is proposed here, it to be in the form of four and five room cottages'built in groups or possibly in one large group according to where the sites are available. The Prince Rupert Chamber of Commerce has been working on this for some time and, if it comes to a satisfactory conclusion, it alone is enough to justify the existence of the Chamber of Commerce. In this connection it also must be noted that the Provincial director of industries, recently placed at Ottawa by the provincial government, it taking a leading part in getting in contact with the proper officials and placing Prince Rupert's need before them. A Comparison - - - "Canadians are impressed, and rightly so, with the volume of aid that the United States is giving Britain in this war. The transfer of destroyers, the Lend-Lease Bill, the supplies of arms . we admire these gestures of our great neighbor. Indeed, somethimes we feel that America's contribution overshadows our own. But in that we do ourselves an injustice," says the News Herald. "Canada has no reason to develop an inferiority complex over this business that is shown by a comparison of Canadian and U.S. efforts recently made by the Minneapolis Star Journal. "Says the American paper, in part: 'If the United States were matching Canada's efforts, in proportion to population, we should have an American Expeditionary Force of a million-men .v.. 1 " 'Canada will be turning out 250,000 pilots a year . . . If the United States were doing likewise, relativelv . . . we would be turning out 250,000 a year. (Actually it has! trained ouuu pilots in tne last 1Z months.)

BANK OF MONTREAL SPORT CHAT The late Lou Gehrig began his re markable consecutive game streak with the Yankees in 1925 when, en June 1, he was sent into a game as a pinch-hitter. The next day manager Miller Huggins used him at first base In place of Wally Pipp and he never left the post until he had played 2,130 successive refjuiar-ly scheduled American League games. He also played In 34 world series contests and .countless Lou was a big, handsome, dim pie -cheeked fellow who always looked the pictuie of health. He stood six feet, one inch and weighed 205 pounds. Playing every games became a fetish with him and because of this, or because of his naturally careful habits, he trained more faithfully than almost, any other player in the major leagues. Like all baseball veterans he had injuries. Once In 1934 he was struck by a pitched ball during an exhibition game at Norfolk, Va and suffered a moderate concussion. Again In 1937 he hurt a finger on his right hand. In 1938 he broke a thumb. But nothing the ever happened to him over that long stretch of years kept him from eettlno- lnn th a C -'" lineup at least briefly every game. For the public this was the notable feature of Gehrig's career. But for the persons connected with the sport his easy disposition and his great playing contributions to the Yanks stood out far beyond the fact that he chose not to miss a game now and then. Twice he was selected as the most Valuable player in the American League In 1927 and in 193G. Gehrig led his league In batting only once, hitting .363 in 1934, but1 he set the pace no less than five i times for runs batted in ... A?iJi I set the present league record of 1C4. ' w.v uuici yiayjng records, aside from endurance, that he held were: most home runs in tone game Tour, most years 100 or more runs batted in 13: " wv j-o OUU or more total bases 13; most home runs wim Dases mil 23, and most yeara 100 runs or more 13 (con. secutlve). Although he never achieved the princely salary of Ruth, his ton temporary, Gehrig was beliiv,i have earned approximately Sioo.. " AAA I I II uuu jrum DaseDau. He entered the $25,000 bracket in 1928 and reached ESTABLISH Fl) 1817 a weak $39,000 in 1938. Living comfortably but conseprotlvely in a suburban home during most of these years, he was believed to have pre-1 served a good percentage of his in- come. He married Eleanor Grace Twitchell of Chicago at the close of the 1933 season. They, had ho children. , HE SEEMED TO KNOW The phrase "truth a stranger than fiction" comes from Lord Byron's Don Juan.
