FORTY
YEARS
FROM
NOW

To
be
reminded
that
it
was
forty
years
ago
today
that
pile
driving
commenced
for
Prince
Kiiperl's
first
wharf
causes
us
to
reflect
that,
as
a
community,
we
are
getting
along
in
life.
There
are
few
remaining
now
who
were
here
on
June

few,
indeed,
who
were
here
anywhere
near
thnt
time.
Tho
hardy
pioneers

are
getting
few
and
far
between
and
with
them,
unfortunately,
has
gone

which

to
the
upbuilding

and
all
the
communities
comprising
northern
and
central
British
Columbia.
the
port
and
district
that
forty
years
ago
was
a-borning.
The
forty
years
in
Prince
Rupert
in
many
ways
have
been
hard
ones.
Certainly,
the
fond
hopes
of
the
pioneers,
due
to
a
series
of
unpropitlous
circumstances,
were
dashed.
The
people
cf
those
early
days
certainly
expected
that
forty
years
later
would
see
Prince
Rupert
a
greater
place
than
it
is
today.

AN
IMPORTANT
MEETING
.
.
.
A
very
important
meeting
is
to
be
held
in
Prince
Rupert
tomorrow
the
sitting
here
of
the
fact-finding
delegation
of
the
provincial
Department
of
Trade
and
Industry
and
the
Bureau
of
Post-war
Reconstruction
and
Rehabilitation.
They
are
ccming
to
find
out
at
first

what
Prince
Rupert
has
to
offer
in
the
way
of
industrial,
commercial
and
lnsin-.;
opportunities
large'
and
small.
The
aim
is
to
assemble
information
which
will
be
readily
available
for
the
punmre
of
bringing
together
those
who
desire
opportunities
in
the
profitable
development
of
the
resources
and
industries
of
this
province
and
the
actual
fields
of
such
opportunities.
Prince
Rupert'
believes
it
has
many
such'
op-poi
I
ii
n
ties.
Now
it
is
given
the
chance
to
set
them
forward
in
a
place
where
they
will
be
given
favorable
consideration
with
reasonable
chances
of
seme
actual
results
being
obtained
leading
to
the
permanent
activity
and
prosperity
of1
port
and
district.
We
have
already
expressed
our
gratification
at
the
interest
that
is
being
shown
in
us
by
the
provincial
government
and
alo
by
the
railway
company
which
is
co-operating,
apparently,
to
the
fullest
extent
by
sending
its
officials
in
the
persons
of

GOOD
BUSINESS
THE
CITY
is
to
be
congratulated
on
I
closing
the
deal
whereby
the
fine
United
States
Army
gymnasium
in
Franklin
Roosevelt
Park
becomes
the
property
of
the
municipality
and
thereby
available
for
the
use
and
enjoyment
of
the
people,
particularly
those
interested
in
indoor
recreation
which,
in
the
nature
of
things,
plays
an
important
part
in
the
life
of
tliis
city.
Like
the
civic
centre,
the
big
gymnasium,
we
have
no
doubt,
will
prove
to
be
a
good
investment,
paying
off
in
the
useful
functions
it
will
be
able
in
mariyways
to
serve.
Not
only
as
a
straight
spoj-ts
venue
should
it
be
useful
but
also,
on
occasion,
may
prove
a
social
or
cultural
resort.
Possibly,
its
activities
may
be
co-ordinated
in
some
wavs
with
those
of
the
civic
centre
building.
Conceivably,
for
instance,
it
mjght
be
used
some
time
as
an
exhibition
building
if
and
when,
as
we
believe
it
should
be,
the
annual
fall
fair
is
revived
in
Prince
Rupert.
In
any
case,
it
is
a
good
stroke
of
business
and
the
city
has
made
no
mistake
in
the
deal.

A'

up

and
will

NOT

NEWS'
HUNGRY
FOR
NEWS
is,
was
and
always
shall
be
the
chief
reason
for
the
existence
of
the
newspaper.
But
seldom
has
anyone
tried
to
produce
a
newspaper'
confined
to
news
alone.
Never
has
such
a
newspaper
flourished.
Beyond
the
news
itself,
vital
as
it
is,
people
treasure
their
newspapers
for
many
things
for
background
material,
interpretation
and
opinion,
as
presented
in
editorials,
through
letters
to
the
editor
and
by
other
means.
Important,
also
in
the-
estimation
of
the
readers
is
the
buying
information
and
the
variety
of
helpful
guidance
found
in
the
advertising
columns.
The
advertisments
are
as
much
a
part
of
the
newspaper
as
the
most
exciting
bannerline
news
or
the
most
appealing
of
editorial
features.
People
look
for
advertising
in
their
newspapers,
want
it,
rely
on
it,
turn
to
it
eagerly.
Even
if
today's
newspaper
could
be
produced
without
advertising,
it
is
doubtful
if
anybody
would1
like
it
that
way.

As
for

others

rather
than
