(Authorized as Second Class Mall, Post Office Department, Ottawa). Take Over the Air Base As the opening up and development of north and central British Columbia proceeds in the post-war era, civil aviation will, doubtless, play an increasingly important part. Possibly, Prince Rupert people do not fully realize the vital necessity of permanent aviation basing and servicing facilities being established hem' Heretofore, the occasional commercial planes that have come here have 'been able to land and gas up at some oil station or marine float. With; the larger planes of today and more modern equipment, that will no longer be good enough. It is most important in considering our development as the business and trading centre of northern and central British Columbia that we should be looking very seriously to the position we may occupy on the air niap. Very definitely if we do not lake some steps to equip the port for the handling of commercial aircraft, we will be left off that map. Commercial air service, for which we HONORED FOR , MOOSE SERVICE Presentations were made to ! two members of the Moose Lodge j hi recognition of their services to the .organization over a period I of years at Tuesday nights meet -! Ing in the Oddfellows' Hall. Main business of the meeting was the installation of new officers have long expressed a desire, will come here the much sooner if there are the facilities to accommodate and service it. We have talked about the need of an airport here. There may be some difficulties in that regard but shortly there will be offered as a surplus war asset the SqaI Cove seaplane base of the Royal Canadian Air Force, one of the most up-to-date and finest equipped terminals of its kind in the country. It can probably be had for a song, at least as far as a greater portion of the installation, which cannot be moved anyway, is concerned. The suggestion made yesterday to the Chamber of Commerce by an expert on civilian aircraft servicing that the city of Prince Rupert should exercise the priority which would fall to it if the Dominion abandons the air base and declares the property surplus is a timely on If we can get an air base for little more than the asking, we certainly should have no hesitation about that asking. Thus we can take the first step towards making Prince Rupert the real centre of this part of the country at least for amphibious and sea-going aircraft which will, doubt-Jess, be a factor of utmost importance in transportation back and forth among the abounding waterways of the northern hinterlands. . If the D 0 m i n i 0 n government could be induced to maintain the air base here that might be the best way but failing that it would appear most desirable that the city should acquire control of it. which was followed by a social evening and dance to which the Women of the Moose were invited. In recognition of his service as secretary of the lodge for the past number of years, William McCallum was presented by Governor D. O.

R. Carswell, aircraft servicing expert for the Standard Oil Co. of British Columbia, in urging before the council of the Prince Rupert Chamber of Commerce yesterday afternoon tha4 the Seal Cove air base of the Royal Canadian Ail Force which Is about to be de- " 1 " clared a surplus war asset be taken over by the city of Prince Rupert with a view to becoming established as a base for civilian aviation use. "Just as the automobile early la the century turned the black smith and buggy shops into garages and auto sales organizations employing hundreds of people, Uie airport will bring a brand new business into the community. Without it you will eventually find yourself off .the travel routes of the world. , "No thriving community can afford not to have its air base which to the airplane Is what Uie service station and the garage Is to the automobile. Would any community today consider It vil's not to have these service centres? "All authoritative sources concede that a prosperous community of today will lose that pros perity tomorrow unless It ha. its aircraft servicing facilities.' The existence of a properlj organized air base at Prince Rupert would not only encourage commercial air services both national and international to include this place as calling points but would also bring the private and personal planes which would, of course, never come if there were no base and no facilities. Mr. Carswell pointed out how nearly every community hi IJrit-ish Columbia 'was planning an alrporU-North Vancouver, West Vancouver, Port Albernl, Comox, Nanalmo, victoria, cmillwuck. Vernon, K e 1 0 w n a. Penticton. Nelson and Trail. Prince Ru pert might not be able to have an airport immediately but oue of the finest seaplane bases In the whole country would soon be available here and the speak er felt that this community would be Indeed overlooking an opportunity If it did not see that It was retained. Continuing his case, Mr. Cars-well suggested that the exis-tance of an air base here for commercial purposes would open up new business opportunities here, particularly for young men who had served In the air force during the war and were highly trained for aircraft servicing work. The council of Uie Chamber gave its blessing to Mr. Cars-well's Ideas and asked him to submit, the case for the taking 3Vf r of the airport to the city authorities here. The transport committee of the Chamber was instructed to follow the matter ap and give such assistance as It could In the advocacy of the city takiiu; over the Seal Cove air base.
