Junior
Chamber
Following
Up
Suggestion
That
Basic
Prices
Should
Be
Posted
The
Junior
Section
of
the
Prince
Rupert
Chamber
of
Commerce
will
follow
up
a
previously
made
suggestion
that
merchants
should
be
called
upon
to
display
in
their
stores
lists
of
retail,
prices
which
prevailed
at
the
basic
period
last
fall
over
which
higher
prices
may
not
be
charged
in
connection
with
the
price
ceiling
regulations
of
the
Wartime
Prices
and
Trade
Board.
The
posting
of
such
lists,
it
was
felt,
would
facilitate
shoppers
in
co-operating
with
the
authorities
to
ensure
that
the
ceiling
prices
were
in
fa:t
being
observed.
The
Junior
Chamber
had
advanced
this
suggestion
a
month
ago
but
a
letter
received
at
last
night's
meeting
from
the
chairman
of
the
Wartime
Prices
and
Trade
Board,
Donald
Gordon,
did
not
favor
the
idea,
feeling
that
it
would
work
a
hardship
on
the
already
overworked
merchants.
How-
lever,
after
Lee
Gordon
and
Clif

local
retailers,
naa
ex
pressed
the
opinion
that
it
would
not
be
much
trouble
for
the
stores
to
prepare
and
post
these
lists,
it
was
decided
to
pursue
the
sug-
irestlon
further.

Geoffrey

and
Lome
Aggett,
who
are
here
from

in
connection
with
the
op
eration
of

spoke
on

of

last
night
at
the
regular
monthly
dinner
meeting
of
the
Junior
Section
of
the
Prince
Ru
pert
Chamber
of

Mr.
Wootten
referred
to
the
enormous
amounts
that
Germany
was
assessing
the
peoples
of
France
and
othe
roccupied
countries
against
which
the
sum
of
$600,000,000
which
Canada
was
merely
asking
its
people
to
loan
paled
into
insignificance."
There
should
be
no
difficulty
about
raising
this
amount
when
It
was
considered
that
there
was

Mr.

rec-

from
the
standpoint
of
sound
investment
which
would
provide
a

against
a
later
day
when
it
might
well
be
needed.
Mx.
Aggett
referred
to
the
vast
organization
of
the
Victory

campaign,
commended
the
purchase
of
the

as

Set
For
Tomorrow
At
last
evening's
meeting
of
the
Civilian

Committee
(ARP)
two
important
announcements
were
made.
One
was
that
on
Sunday
afternoon
there
will
bj
a
prastlce
with
the
new
air
raid
sirens.
These
have
been
Installed
and
one
reason
for
the
practice
is
that
their
area
of
coverage
can
be
determined.
The
district
wardens
will
have
their
districts
covered
by
wardens
and
will
then
collect
their
reports.
There
will
be
a
meeting
of
the
district
wardens
immediately
after
and
results
will
be
reviewed
and
compared.
The
other
announcement
was
that
sand
will
be
made
available
for
those
householders
who
have
not
cars
of
their
own
and
are
unable
to
obtain
it
otherwise.
Trucks
will
deliver
sand
at
various
points
in
the
districts
and
residents
may
obtain
the
sand
at
these
points.
