Second Class Mall, Post Office Department, Ottawa). Back to "Old Times" : Although the manager of the Ganadian Shipbuilding and Repairing Association, organization of the "jactive" shipbuilding concerns of this ejpuntry, says, that inquiries have been received from all over the world for Canadian-built ships and that there is enough work on hand to Keep Canadian yards fully busy for five years, the Canadian National Railways shipyard at Prince Rupert lias now slipped back into its prewar status. ' ; Possibly as unfortunate as the apparent fact that Prince Rupert is i)0w out of the shipbuilding business is our seeming acceptance of what was probably the determined intention from the start namely to close ()own the dry dock almost altogether. ' While the countless people in Europe and Asia die for lack of food Supposedly because of, congested ports whose facilities are so glutted they cannot handle more, Prince Rupert's big grain elevator stands empty and the railway line into Prince Rupert, the advantages of which were so amply demonstrated during th'e business of war and destruction, is starving for traffic again. If anybody in a position to do so is really interested in getting the traffic this way, either from the standpoint of doing something toward facilitating the relief of the world food situation or in providing business for this port and railway, they are, to say the least of it, mighty slow in getting anything' accomplished.. Now the latest paradox adversely affecting Prince Rupert is that in regard to the movement of timber and lumber, "Buyers at home and abroad iii'c clamoring for forest products, both raw and manufactured. Timber shippers and exporters say they would like to. use the port of Prince Jiupert to facilitate the movement bf the products to market. Yet here Ugain there seems to be some ad-Verse influence which prevents or hampers the use of this port. ' The Prince Rupert Chamber of pommerce, which has agitated without success to get action in connection with shipbuilding activity and. grain shipping, has now resolved to interest itself in the mat,ter of developing waterborne shipments of timber through this port. It is to lie hoped it will have better luck in this regard than was obtained on the other matters. It will, no doubt, meet with opposition, obstacles, subterfuges and excuses in this campaign .too. Are we to succumb in frustration to them all? We had thought a while ago that Prjnce Rupert was really going to jstep out and fight for the continued Recognition of the position which was So amply exploited during the emergency of war. But, unfortunately, a fitate of lethargy seems to have set in. Could it be that the people of Prince Rupert are content to slip, back into the restful ease of thp 'good'old days" which, with all their inertia, leisure and tranquility, might Dot have been so good after all. The shipyard is about as dead as jt ever was. The elevator is still and empty. Except for some cleaning up that is still going on our railway and wharves are back to the old even 'tenor of their ways. We are reduced again to fishing as our main industry and hopeful that the tourist traffic will bring us a measure of summer business. Are we satisfied with the way things are going? Are we going to sit back and take it? A diplomat Is a man who can say the nastiest things in the nicest way. ft- Not Only Money and Profit -Money and profit are by no means the only thing that mptivatc the businessman. He has many other motivations. With the great majority of today's executives, the most powerful motivation of all is satisfaction in managing an organism that provides jobs for fellow-citizens, which gives the community good products and services at agood price. If any proof of this be needed, look at the' record of recent years. Why didn't scores and hundreds of businessmen shut up shop and retire to leisure in the country? Why did they fight their way through material shortages, labor shortages and troubles, government red tape and all the other multitudinous plagues that have beset them? With towering taxes on their personal and on their company's income, there was no hope of riches. A sense of duty and of responsibility that's what kept them going. And the duties and. responsibilities of peacetime are almost as compelling, as those of wartime. No, the businessman who tells his friends and, neighbors about the enterprise system and why it holds out the best hope for the best life for everybody in the community won't be doing so only to make profits bigger.

'...jt The Regimental Band The commanding officer of the Prince Rupert Regiment tells us that the regimental band is in need of recruits. We are glad to commend joining up with the band to any players of instruments or young men interested in music. Under the direction of Sgt. Peter Lien, one of the city's best known and most accomplished, musical directors, there is here the opportunity to gain valuable tuition and. directed practice.- And of equal satisfaction to new members of the band, as it has been to those who have been in the band since its inception some three years ago, should be the fact that they wiirbe rendering the commuiity a real service as participants in a creditable musical organization which thp community needs and which it appears is to be the only body of its kind in Prince Rupert. Regimen tul bands in other, places have brought credit and pleasure, and in some cases fame, to their communities. A good, strong regimental band would be a real asset to this city. The present band, although not great in numbers, has already served us well on occasion and is the organized nucleus of what, if tht strength can be obtained, could be developed into an aggregation of which bptl) its nieinbprs and the community could well be proud. 1R "ROASTED IN THE WKT TOR WESTERN USERS Noted Murder Case Before Court Again Defence Slakes New Appeal in New Zealand Cause Olefore AUCKLAND, N.Z. --New Zealand's most notable cause celebrc. whici Is like the Dreyfus cas. in the persistence with which It comes forward for revision, ha: again come beforp the courts. This Is "the Eric Marco murder case, in which, a new appeal Is being sought. It s 11 years now since the tragedy which led to Marco being sentenced to death for the murder of his beautiful ybuns wife. The sentence was commuted to life imprlsqument, but since then there has been an appeal, a retrial, three petitions to Parliament for revision, and notable English tbxologlsts have written monographs on the case and its findings. The case, provided one of the greatest sensations In New Zealand criminal history even .when. It first occurred. Both parties were known throughput the country. Mareo came lierp early in the thirties after much experience in Europe and like a meteor became almost overnight the most prominent musi cal personality in. New Zealand.

In a not notably musical country, n 11 founded and conducted the Mareo Symphony Orchestra which srnred Immediate tri umphs and later, the Marco Operatic Society which had an equally brilliant success. This was in no small part dub to his wife, a remarkably beautiful and talented actress and singer. In 1935 Mareo was arrested on a charge of murdering tfts wlfp by administering ove'dase., -f veronal.
