::A
STORY
of

little

:'
about
being
the
forgotten
port
of

Canada's
Atlantic
coast
after
the

years
of
feverish
and
sometimes
almost
unwelcome
war
activity,
is
'told
by
Leslie
Roberts
in
the
Tor-:;6nto
Star.
It
bears
striking
resembled
to
what
might
be
said
of
Prince
Rupert.
'
"Underneath

Canada
descends
en
masse
in
time
of

and
turns
its
back
on
the
place
as
soon
as
the

stops.
This
was
also
the
favorite
dinner
table
topic
of
"Haligonians
during
the
war
years,
but
with
a
subtle
difference.
"Then
the
tendency
was
to
grumble
about
a
descent
which
dislocated
the
way
of
life
of
the
local
citizens
as
it
was
',
.
dislocated
in
no
other
Canadian
community
-and
it
was
talk
Unelfd
with
a
hankering
for
the
good
old
days
when
you
could
actually
walk
along
any
downtown
sidewalk
without
being
pushed
into
the
street.
Now
the
question
is
what
will
likely
happen
to
a
city
which
is
the
"
focus
of
Canadian
military
activity
in
wnrttmc
and
a
forgotten
town
between
wars.
"It
is
the
city's
excellent
rjort

roadstead
which
tend,
ia
'.'....their
current
emptiness,
to
give
Hali-?onians
the
Jitters
as
they
ponder
the
future.

where
once
merchantmen
by
the
hundred
rode
at
anchor
as
they
awaited
convoy
departures,
lies
empty,
except
for
a
handful
of
rusting
corvettes.
.
"But
the
basin's
emptiness
Is
sharply
accentuated
as
you
pass
through
the
Narrows
and
down
the
harbor
proper.
There
only
one
or
two
merchantmen
lie
berthed
on
the
average
day,
where
a
year

It
Is

Judgment
which
would

and

If
Halifax

the
fieM
of

will
undoubtedly
'
'
'
be
broadened.
"A
new
department
of
industry
Is
out
slugging
for
business.
The
tourist
,
branch
moves
heaven
and
earth
not
merely
to
attract

tourists
but
the
de

trade
which
comes
to
catch

The

industry
is
getting
a
belated
modernization
and

plants
are
on
the
way.
The

The

Is
about
to
set

institute,
the
purpese
of
which
will
be
to
get
the
most
out
of
Nova
Scotia
and
into
the
markets
of
the
world.
"In
certain
aspects,
however,
the
problem
of
what
for
six
years
of
war
was
an
anonymous
but
appallingly
overcrowded
east
coast
port,
remains
an
all-Canadian
problem.
In
the
words
of
'
Premier
Angus
L.
Macdonald,
spoken
as
he
locked
over
the
broad
expanse
of
one
of
the
world's
finest
and
empties
harbors:
'It's
pretty
nearly
time
Canada
Hewed
out
the
value
of
this
stretch
of
water
to
the
nation
in
time
of
trouble
and
governs
itself
accordingly."
"
All
of
which
might
also
be
said
for
Prince

STATEHOOD
FOR
ALASKA
nRINCE
RUPERT
appropriately
enough
takes
exceptionally
keen
'
interest
in
Alaska's
aspirations
to
be
raised
from
the
status
of
territoiy
to'
that
of
statehood.
Such
a
change,
and
Alaska
by
its
vote
seems
to
be
favorably
disposed
to
that
change,
might
well
have
as
one
of
its
sequels
a
much
greater
and
real
bond
between
the
present
territory
and
this
port
in
relation
to
which
it
is
so
strategically
located.
Statehood
would
undoubtedly
allow
Alaska
to
exercise
a
desire
which
it
has
long
expressed,
but
which
desire
has
been
frustrated
by
the
big
transportation
interests
of
the
United
States
fortified
by
the
control
to
which
the
territory
is
subjected,
to
make
better
use
of
this
port
and
its
facilities
including
the
railroad
and
its
more
direct
access
to
the
East.
Statehood
for
Alaska,
indeed,
would
be
probably
one
of
the
important
actuating
factors
in
development
of
even
closer
friendliness
and
business
relations
between
Prince
Rupert
and
at
least
the
Panhandle
which
would
be
all
to
the
good
in
bin
own
local
development.
