Our
Weather
Probs
...
We
are
constrained
to
apologize
for
some
of
the
weather
forecasts
which
have
been
published
of
late
in
the
very
best
of
faith.
On
Saturday,
for
instance,
we
listened
to
the
Weather
Man
and
told
you
that
there
would
be
hurricane
conditions
on
this
part
of
the
coast.
What
actually
happened
was
that
seafarers,
at
the
very
time
when
the
hurricane
was
going
to
be
at
its
height,
were
enjoying
the
smoothest
going
in
weeks.
Yesterday
we.
told
you
that
there
would
be
a
mid-afternoon
gale.
All
that
happened
was
an
evening
breeze
and
a
not
too
copious
rainfall.
We
very
much
fear
that
our
readers
are
beginning
to
discredit
our
weather
forecasts.
Even
the
hard-boiled
old
news
editor
has
just
about
decided
that
he
could
take
a
glance
at
the
sky
and
a
sniff
out
the
window
and
do
as
well
if
not
better
him-"self.
Maybe
some-
time,
though,
they
will
really
geUgoing
with
their
newfangled
atmospheric
and
meteorological
.gadgets
anjLgive
us
some
forecasts
that
we
will
be
able
to
depend
upon
instead
of
having
to
play
games
with.
Meantime,
dear
readers,
we
should
not
worry
too
much
when
they
tell
us
it
is
going
to
be
bad
weather
or
bank
too
much
on
promises
of
fair.
In
other
words,
use
your
own
nose
and
judgment
and
don't
believe
it
is
going
to
rain
until
you
smell
it
And
to
the
Weather
Man
we
would
suggest
that
it
is
not
always
safe
just
to
guess
it
is
going
to
rain
and
blow
at
Prince
Rupert.
No
Strike
Wanted
Here
.
.
.
It
is
sincerely
to
be
hoped
that
differences
existing
between
fish
operating
companies
at
Prince
Rupert
and
their
union
workers
may
be
composed
before
such
an
ugly
eventuality
as
strike
action
may
be
suggested.
The
issues
at
stake,
as
revealed
in
the
announcements
of
either
side,
should
not
by
any
means
be
insurmountable.
We
are
sure
that
neither
side
desires
to
see
a
tie-up
of
any
kind
and
that
they
should
be
disposed
to
get
together.
Not
only
would
the
companies
and
the
workers
suffer
from
a
strike
but
it
would
be
a
serious
thing
for
the
community
of
Prince
Rupert
whose
main
industry,
as
war
activities
recede,
is
once
again
the
fishing
and
handling
of
fish.
Value
of
Red
Cross
.
.
.
The
war
being
over
the
intensive
activity
of
the
Red
Cross
may
be
curtailed.
Yet
there
is
a
need
and
it
still
plans
active
functioning.
For
instance,
sewing
can
be
carried
on
for
relief
purposes
with
possibly
as
much
good
purpose
as
before
since
the
sewing
can
be
more
effectually
delivered
to
the
suffering
countries
which
are
a
long
way
from
having
recovered
yet
from
the
sorrowful
results
of
war.
There
is
also
the
function
.
of
building
up
resources
and
organization
against
the
possible
emergency
of
.disaster
which
always
lurks.
In
addition
to
this,
the
Red
Cross
is
interested
actively
in
blood
banking
and
such
work
as
sponsoring
home
nursing
instruction.
Yes,
there
is
still
a
job
for
the
Red
Cross
to
do
and,
just
because
the
war
is
over,
is
no
reason
whv
its
humanitarianly
inclined
friends
of
the
war
days
should
not
continue
their
support
and
show
it
by
attending
the
annual
meeting
which
has
been
called
for
Friday
night
of
this

week.

came

Here'i
the
story:
About
1928
our
research
chemists
were
given
the
Job
of
finding
ways
lo
uliliie
the
watle
sulphur
gases
from
our
smelting
operations.
First,
they
took
these
gases
out
of
the
air
and
made
sulphuric
acid;
next
they
look
nitrogen
from
the
air
and
hydrogen
from
water
and
made
ammonia.
Ammonia
added
to
sulphuric
cid
makes
AMMONIUM
SULPHATE,
a
valuable
chemical
fertilizer.
The
addition
of
phosphate
rock
makes
AMMONIUM
PHOSPHATE,
ihe
fertilizer
that
has
proven
so
good
for
Canadian
fruit
and
grain
crops.
That,
in
brief,
is
the
story
of
the
birth
of
Candin
Industry
which
lo
dale
has
paid
out
St3,000,000
in
wages
and
salaries
and
now
provides
Jobs
for
nearly
1,000
Canadians,
There
is
nothing
unique
about
this
story.
It
is
Just
typical
of
wht
hundreds
of
others
have
done
and
are
doing
across
Canada
from
the
individual
who
decides
lo
go
Into
business
for
himself
to
the
large
company
spending
millions
on
a
new
plmt.
Both
mean
greater
prosperity
and
more
Jobs.
Both
are
possible
because
the
majority
of
Canadians
believe
in
free
enterprise.
