of
President
Tru-I
Iran's
new
wage-price
formula
pro-!
vjding
for
the
facilitating
of
wage
increases
and
raising
of

ceil-;
ings
to
make
such
increases
possible
S
was
soon
followed
by
announcement
of
the
settlement
of
the
big
United
j
States
steeel
strike
dispute.
The
same
formula
may
be
expected
to
result
in
the
settlement
of
other
'
labor
-
management
disputes
in
the
!
United
States.
n
It
is
gratifying,
of
course,
to
see
i
the
strikes
being
settled
but
it
is,
on
;
the
other
hand,
obvious
enough
that
i
the
prescription
of
settlement
cannot
j
nan
.continued
and
permanent
hgaltlv
"oh

'which
is

by

ills
of

be
paid.
The
consumers,
who
are
tot
large
extent
the
wage
earners,
i'l
have
to
pay
the
shot.
So,
when
;
orp
comes
to
think
of
it,
it
is
diffi-j
cult
to
see
where
anyone
is
ahead
of
i
he
game.
I
Depot
Facilities
S
"
The
Junior
Chamber
of
Commerce
is
modest
in
its
request
of
the
""railway
company
that
something
be
!
done
about
improving
the
waiting
j
rooms
in
the
local
railway
station.
They
have
long
been
a
drab
and
ill-appointed
shelter
for
the
public.
,;
The
Junior
Chamber
would
have
J
been
warranted,
as
a
matter
of
fact,
i;
in
asking
for
a
much
more
extensive
i
improvement
of
depot
facilities
here.
I
The
scruffy
little
old
building
is
cer-!
tainly
not
much
in
keeping
with
.what
might
be
expected
at
an
im-.
portant
port
and
terminus
of
a
trans-j
continental
railroad.
This
is
one
of
the
things
that
the
people
of
Prince
Rupert
themselves
i
do
not
notice
for
it
is
seldom
they
!
personally
need
the
facilities
of
a
J
railway
station.
A
stuffy
and
di-i
lapidated
railway
station,
without
I
even
the
convenience
of
a
light
eat-;
ing
place,
leaves
its
impression
of
an
unfavorable
kind
on
people
who
are
.strangers
and
have
nowhere
to
go
when
awaiting
arriving
or
departing
t
trains.
I.
And,
while
we
are
on
the
subject
,-ofan
improved
railway
station,
we
;
might
also
consider
the
utter
lack
of
waiting
facilities
here
for
the
people
who
travel
by
the

and

There

absolutely
nothing
to
provide

it.
What
a
Lovely
Day!
As
a
service
club
leader
from
Portland,
Oregon,
who
visited
the
city
this
week,
said,
people
of
Prince
Rupert
are
not
appreciative
of
the
blessings
even
the
gentle
and
refreshing
rain
with
which
Nature
has
imbued
Prince
Rupert.
We
think
sometimes
about
Vancouver
people
unduly
knocking
Prince
Rupert
weather
and
talk
over
much
about
the
rain
here.
As
a
matter
of
fact,
probably
there
are
no
worse
knockers
and
complainers
about
Prince
Rupert
weather
than
the
people
of
Prince
Rupert
them
selves.
We
as
newspaper
folk
who
get
around
a
bit
know
pf
many
occasions
where
visitors
have
been
re-
veiling
in
our
fresh,
bracing
air
and
'
blessing
rain
when
the
local
people
!
at
the
very
same
time
have
been!
going
around
with
long
faces
com-;
plaining
about
and
apologizing
for!
the
terrible
weather.
Boosting
should,
of
course,
commence
at
home
and,
when
a
lot
of
us
do
so
much
grousing
about
the
weather,
what
can
we
expect
from
people
who
do
not
know
anything
about
it
except
what
they
"hear
from
us
ourselves?
How
many
of
us
this
very
day,
for
instance,
thought
how
"fine''
rather
than
how
"bad"
the
weather
was?
How
many
of
us
think
on
the
"bright"
rather
than
the
"cloudy"
side?'
After
all,
the
weather,
like
other
things,
is
often
how
we
take
it.
It
is
rare
enough
in
Prince
Rupert,
indeed,
on
which
we
really
have,
anything
much
to
complain
about.
Radio
Advertising
Nuisance
In
newspapers,
people
read
the
advertisements
because
they
want
to
read
them,
because
they
are
interested
in
what
the
ads
have
to
say,
Surveys
have
shown
that
people
would
rather
have
their
newspapers
with
ads
than
without
ads.
On
the
radio,
however,
the
advertiser's
message
is
usually
an
intrusion
and
an
annoyance.
Few
people
want
to
listen
to
it.
Here
is
new
proof:
According
to
results
of
a
recent
radio
audience
survey
roughly
half
ot
b,4Z)
men
and
women
who
answered
the
question
"Do
any
announcements
you
hear
on
the
'radio
particularly
annoy
you?"
expressed
themselves
as
being
annoyed
by
commercials.
While
the
survey
can
by
no
means
be
used
as
an
infallible
yardstick
for
the
country
as
a
whole,
it
may
be
indicative
of
how
radio
listeners
in
general
feel
about
radio
commeiv
cials.
More
and
more
manufacturers
are
advertising
their
products
In
the
dally
newspapers
of
Canada.
The
increase
in
this
national
advertising
in
1945
over
1944
was
over
8
percent.

Delightful
Surprise
Party
Last.
Night
on
Sirs.
Alex
Mitchell's
Birthday
Esteem
and
affection
for
their
guardian
and
mentor
was
happily
exemplified
last
night
when
forty
or
so
members
of
the
locai
bethel
of
Job's
Daughters
gathered
at
the
home
of
Dr.
and
Mrs.
L.
W.
Kergin
in
a
delightful
surprise
party
for
Mrs.
Alex
Mitchell.
It
was
the
occasion
of
the
ever
popular
"Laura's"
birUjday.
The
evening
was
gaily
spent
in
playing
of
bingo
and
other
games,
community
singing
and
other
diversions
and
the
highlight
of
the
proceedings
was
the
making
of
a
novel
gift
to
Mrs.
Mitchell
by
Miss
Dot
Kergin.
A
gift
was
also
made
to
Mrs.
Kergin
by
Miss
Ruth
Walton.
Feature
of
the
refreshments
was
a
handsome
birthday
cake,
replete
with
candles,
which
were
blown
out
in
the
customary
manner
by
the
evening's
guest
of
honor.
Welcome
Hut
Busy
Spot
Since
Last
September
The
pleasure
of
returning
home
has
been
enhanced
for
almost
200
of
Prince
Rupert's
war
veterans
by
the
warm
welcome
extended
by
the
Women's
Auxiliary
to
the
Canadian
Legion
since
last
September
7
when
they
took
over
the
Welcome
Hut
on
the
C.N.R.
wharf.
How
many
gallons
of
coffee
have
been
served
to
the
returning
warriors,
the
Legion
ladies
do
no't
know,
but
during
their
six
months
oj
meeting
boats
and
trains
190
packages
of
cigarettes
have
been
given
away
free.
Names
of
more
than
180
soldiers,
sailors
and
airmen
and
women
have
been
recorded
in
the
register
book
kept
in
the
hut,
but
Mrs.
.Rothwell,
who,
with
Mrs.
Henry
Smith
Jr.,
does
"welcome"
duty
on
Wednesdays,
says
that
some
have
arrived
who
have
not
had
their
names
recorded.
"Some
of
the
boys
are
met
by
their
parents
at
the
gangplank
or
train
and
are
whisked
off
home
without
stopping

says
Mrs.
Rothwell,
whose
rosette
welcome
button
is
a
familiar
sight
on
the
wharf
when
the
Prince
Rupert
docks
on
Wednesdays.
As
the
service
men
and
women
come
off
the
boats
and
trains
they
are
taken
to
the
Welcome
Hut
wlwre
they
are
fed
lunch
and
coffee
and
given
.cigarettes.
Often
they
use
the
telephone
In
the
hut
to
call'
taxis.
The
ladies
feel
amply
repaid
for
their
work
by
the
expressions
of
gratitude
which
the
veterans
are
inspired
to
exnrrss.
Sometimes
sery.ee
at
the
Welcome
Hut
becomes
almost
a
family
affair
as
In
the
case
of
Mr.
and
Mrs.
W.
K
Robertson
and
Mr.

Mrs.
Dan,

who
have
come

together-Mr.

on

Among

are

The

to

is
being
investigated

that
the
plan
can
be
arranged
some

A
