w PAOE TWO EDITORIAL HAS VALUABLE FUNCTION Ai the Junior Chamber functions with effect in one sphere, the Senior Chamber has its value along possibly less spectacular but. nevertheless. Just as valuable lines. The number of matters of local .concern that came up at the senior body's monthly meeting this week formed quite an impressive list encompassing such Important things-as local post-war reconstruction, Alask Highway, etc. The"Senior Chamber, like the Junter, has nothing to b? ashamed; of in lis function and usefulness. Indeed, if it were not for the two bodies, many things would go by the board, many representations would ?o unmade and the community might suffer many neglects. These bodies may feel at times that their efforts are rather futile and poorly rewarded but, in the long run, Prince Rupert would have been and would be the much worse off were it not for the work they do in season and out. They are doing a lob that otherwise would not be attended to. NECESSITY PROMPTS INVENTION When the E3st Indies, with its source of raw rubber, fell into! the hands of the Japanese the democracies were faced with the spectre of a possible shortage 'of this very essential commodity which plays such an im-j portant part in modern civilian life and war. Recent announcements would indicate that the Japanese are now welcome to then; lU.-gotte.ri conquests as new typertrr rubber have been discovered which are better suited to war and are more durable. Past history has taught that whenjman is faced with a crisis his spirit of self-preservation is stimulated. The period following the faS of Berma and the Dutch Bast Sidles was no exception. The result has been that syn-thetic.'Jubber was developed and is already in production. To top this aJ new clasto-plastlc material has been produced from such plentiful materials as coal, limesfilne, salt and water which is saitt to be bcttef suited for manyrburposes to which rubber is ewtntial than rubber Itself. r .. i BAZAAR WAS SUCCESSFUL i !
