DAILY EDITION EDITORIAL Monday, May 17. 1943 With American and Japanese ground forces joined in battle on lonelv Attu Island of the Aleutian- group, the actual fighting of the world war is now brought within fairly close range of Prince Rupert. Major military combat was never closer to us than it is today and it is no wonder that all of us are very keenly interested in the progress of events there. The result of the present operations mnv have a verv direct bearing upon our . own de gree of safety or danger. Removal of the enemy from that area would, no doubt, reduce the menace here although, as we have remarked before, Prince Rupert cannot and should not feel completely safe until after the last gun in the whole war has been fired and peace has been restored. No matter what designs the enemy have on us here, and it is very reasonable to assume that we are being taken into account in his plans, we may be satisfied that our defences are vastly stronger than they were not so many months ago and every day are getting stronger and better organized. If Mr. Jap does decide to pay us a visit he will be assured of a hot welcome. And we might as well all of us reconcile ourselves to the fact of a very definite possibility he may come here and govern ourselves accordingly. If we are not , all doing something about getting ready for .him we should be. Installation and operation of new booster pumps, ;it is already intimated, will greatly improve the city's water supply and, what is very important, ensure a more adequate measure of fire protection. For some time now Prince Rupert has been skating on thin .ice as far as water for fire fighting emergency has been concerned. It was just fortunate that during that time something serious in this regard did not happen. Although a considerable improvement has been or is about to be brought about in the local water situation, it wjll still be necessary for the city to be careful about making arrangements for the dispensation of water and to take precautions against recurrences of a dangerous situation. And in these war days there are extraordinary possibilities that should also be taken into consideration Importance of Roads . . Jn a cheerful address before the Prince iRunert Rotary Club Thursday.Chief Justice Wendell Farris, who before his accession to the bench was both a prominent lawver and lumberman, declared that a good road system might be the backbone of the future industrial development of ionnern uruisn Loiumma. such a road system, he believed, would bring a great tourist traffic to these parts and would also be a factor in opening up great mining and timbering potentialities. The roads would .open up the means of livelihood to the people and be a source of delight, through the beautiful countries they would traverse, to visitors and residents alike. It was encouraging to hear His Lordship speak hopefully of e war situation and urge at the same time the advisability of commencing to prepare for the post-war e,r?,.wn,ich ne suggested, might have some very real and difficult problems.
