NEGLECTING TOURISTS ALTHOUGH tjie taxi people are, no (loubt, doing- the best Lhey can to furnish some measure of service, Prince Rupert ntinues to overlook a bt in the matter of providing organized reception and transportation to the tourists who are coming here in increasingly large numbers almjost every day of the week. The expectation of the tourists, when they arrive here, is to find some sort of a personally conducted bus tour service at reasonable rates which would take them to the outstanding points of local interest. Lacking this, many of them are left to wander aimlessly about the town to miss many of the sights we have here and often to get only a poor impression oiUhe place. Lack of proper guidance for the tourists on arrival here is obvious at every turn and, unfortunately, nobody seems to be very interested in doing anything about it. There was talk some time ago about having an information and service headquarters for tourists but the idea does not seem to have got very far in the way of actual implementation- With the tourist business increasing by leaps and bounds and becoming a major industry, the sooner Prince Rupert realizes that it would pay off to do something about taking care of the visitors when they come here the better. The problem now is not getting uio tourists to come here but to take care of them when they come. It may be a little late now to dp very much i iore as far as this season is concerned. Certainly, however, we should be making ourj plans for next year and taking active steps to see that we are" organized better in another year. THE GREAT EXPERIMENT THE BINIIU ATOLL atom bomb ex-"1 pferiment on Sunday was not as terrifying as mighC have been antici pated. The experiment was. largely for the purpose of studying the effect of the atomic bomb on naval fighting equipment. Although the destruction to the ships might have been less than expected, it may be a little time yet before the full effects of the radioactivity will become known. Nevertheless, Biniki was enough to prove forcibly that atomic power has the capability of bringing about the complete disorganization if not ultimate destruction of civilization with a few well-placed blasts. The necessity of ensuring effective atomic control through complete and full international agreement is just the more obviously the vital problem which faces the world today. MUST DEVELOP RUPERT "hOSTWAR construction programs as outlined by Ottawa number hundreds and will cost millions of dollars, many of them are of real value to Canada's postwar progress, but the failure to include the project of completing the third transconti-netal railway (Fort Churchill to Prince Rupert) will prove a real economic loss to Canada," says an article published by Editor F. S. Wright, foremrly of Prince Rupert and now of Edmonton in the current issue of his "Nor' West Miner." "The time has gone when it i3 possible for established interests such as -Vancouver, Montreal, the Great Lakes to insist that nothing .shall interfere with the present layout of carrying, grain and other products from the Pacific to the Atlantic. Canada is too large today to see development stayed. The Fort Churchill-Prince Rupert Railway is the answer to many a reconstruction problem in Canada and is cheap at the cost of $18,000,000." The article, well illustrated with timely local views and pointing out the strategic position of Prince Rupert in the Pacific theatre in providing, with the new transcontinental line a shorter route by 1,000 miles in connecting Hong Kong and Liverpool as well .a sopening up an entirely new country with vast natural re- sources, is another interesting con-, tribution to, the great amount of publicity this port is receiving tihese days and which, no doubt, will result in the not too far distant future in new and large scale industrial and commercity development in this part of the world.
