PAOB TWO THIRD AVENUE Published Every Afternoon Except Sunday by Prtnce Rupert Daily News Limited, Third Avenue O. A. HUNTER, MANAOINQ EDITOR DAILY EDITION Traffic Protection .. . , Wednesday, February 24, 1943 EDITORIAL To Tell Story Later , . . The bit? news in Prinrp Tfnnpvf fWo rlne Jo but, for obvious reasons, Prince Rupert's War story cannot be told today. When the war is over the story will be told. Meanwhile Prince Rupert newspapermen, with bigger things going on all around them than the place has ever seen before and the like of which were only dreamed about, are Prince Rupert's most unhappy men. There is hothing more disagreeable than the frustrated nose for news. There is so much going on in Prince Rupert these days that.it is difficult for us to keep track of it all. Here is a community geared for the needs of a normal six or seven thousand people having thrust upon it within the short space of a year a population of three times the, number or morea population demanding goods and services and with .the therewithal, due to a great new industrial activity ready to pay for them. Prince Run'ert has rlrpamprl hnnm ever since Tts birth some thirty odd years ago. Now the boom is here but, due to wartime conditions and restr ictions, Prince Rupert is unable to take advantage of it because she cannot gear herself to it. Yes, the war is the thing in Prince Rupert and Prince Rupert is playing an important part in the war. Some day soon we may be able to tell the story. Meanwhile, we will just have to satisfy ourselves with the knowledge that we are now really on the map-realistically enough in this Pacific theatre even if it took a war to do it. ' We newspapermen in Prince Rupert will come into otii own When the war is over and peacetime pursuits for which we are being so well equipped will be the follow-up of our very substantial war effort. Then we can tell all about it. Representations have been made by the militarv cm-.,,, m,cb iu ijie uty suggesting Better safeguards for automotive traffic at the junction of Sixth, Hays Cove flnd Ambrose Avenues just across Hays Creek bridge It h;s been suggested by some that the first thing that mio-hf be done there would be the-makimr of Sixth Avenue a through street with the installation of a stop sign on rfays Cove Avenue particularly and Ambrose Avenue possibly.

AND Y.W.C.A, By DOROTHY GARBUTT The Hostess I said yesterday that i would have some news for Senior and Junior Hostesses so I may as well . ill it now. From now on I am go ing to request your services only i or tne dances. There are such vast numbers of leslmental dances now that. I feel the ladies are do ing quite enough hostess work acting as dancing partners and as naperones. Moreover, the numboi of men using the recreation hail has increased greatly and hostesses find it difficult entertaining them n the old informal way when we .nly had a few In at a time. So I wrote to my head office in Toronto for a ruling on the change of system and yesterday I received a reply agreeing to my susgestion. So thanks everyone for your past services and In futuie on with tha dance! The Service Wives Club will meet Thursday afternoon in the ladles lounge at the Y. Remember what I said, ladies, and come out! Bring the children as there are plenty of toys and playthings to keep them busy. There will be the usual Thursday night dance and junior hostesses will meet at the Y as usual. Mrs. Hector MacKenzie will be chaper-one for the evening. Flash! I was right CuDid was on ne wing! Frank Ryan, emulating our Mr. Melvin, got himself engaged today. Frank's a good oicker. The futun Mrs. Ryan is with the Y.W.C.A. n the -East. Congratulations, Frank ie, old boy! Gordon Vebb flew in from the "far flun.r' today. He looks well and happy. Mrs. Webb has joined him and fbv are comfortably set tled and like the pioneer tvDe nf life.

Secretary of the board. C. L. Dlm- ock, was in charge of the staff of volunteer workers who dispensed the books. A special courier traveled from Smithers along the Valley last week delivering the books in the quantities required at the various centres that had been selected and to those who had offered to look after the handling of the books in these centres. DRIVEFOR RED CROSS Smithers Expects Ready Response in Its Campaign SMITHERS, Feb. 24- The drive for funds for the Red Cross will get under way here next week and it is expected that this district will suoscribe liberally to this fund. L. H. Kenney is chairman for th local area and collectors have already been selected to carry on the work. It is felt here that if people would take the trouble to look into the immense amount of work that has been undertaken by the Red Cross in supplying parcels to war prisoners and to bombed out civilians and in arranging for the supply of blood for the saving of life among the many casualties of war overseas, both among soldiers and civilians, to say nothing of the many other varied actlvitltes of this organization, there would be no need for canvassing for funds as any citizen with any sense of respon -rbinty and appreciation would be only too glad to give all that h? could to support the work of the Red Cross.
