ORGANIZING
OF

Kate
is
Latest
Stumbling
Block
to
be
Encountered
by
Local
Committee
The
Junior
Section
of
the
Prince
Rupert
Chamber
of
Commerce
Is
still
having
difficulty
in
the
organizing
of
its
local
salvage
campaign,
the
latest
stumbling
block
being
the
matter
of
freight
rates.
Recently
a
shed
fo;
the
storage
of
salvage
became
available
on
the
local
waterfront.
Within
forty-eight
hours
it
was
filled
with
bottles
but
the
bottles
are
still
there
with
no
immediate
prospect
ot
moving
them
out
since
it
costs
$11.90
per
ton
to
ship
them
to
the
glass
factory
at
Red
Cliff,
Alberta,
whereas
only
$10
per
ton
Is
paid
for
them,
'After
some
discussion
at
last
night
s
re3ula:
monthly
meeting
of
the
Junior
Chamber
it
was
decided
to
take
the
matter
up
direct
with
Ottawa
with
a
lew
to
getting
some
consideration
in
the
matter
of
freight
rates
for
salvage
from
here
Meantime,
the
Junior
Chamber
is
considering
plans
-for
future
salvage
activity
here.
President
Robert
Parker
made
one
suggestion
that
an
old
truck
might
be
taken
from
point
to
point
In
the
city
and
parked
for
a
time
so
that
citizens
might
take
salvage
to
it
for
delivery
to
the
depot.
Another
suggestion
wai
that
150
old
tires
might
be
readily
gatheted
from
local
garages
and
shipped
to
Vancouver.
Bruce
Stevens
reported
that
he
and'
P.
C.
Miller
had
made
two
shipments
of
salvage
material
to
Vancouver
during
the
past
month
and
cxnected
to
make
another
larger
shipment
soon.
