PRESIDENT
IAS
REPLY
TO
HAM'S
LETTER
An
explanation
of
Canadian
National
Railways
policy
in
reducing
train
service
on
their
i
line
from
Jasper
to
Prince
Rupert
to
three
time
weekly
was
received
this
morning
by
Alderman
Clifford
Ham,
president
of
the
Prince
Rupert
Junior
Chamber
of
Commerce,
from
R.
C
Vaughan,
president
of
the
Canadian
National
Railways,
The
letter,
Mr.
Ham
said
wr
"very
frank
and
friendly"
and
explained
the
railway's
position
regarding
the
cut
In
train
service.
Reduction
In
train
service
from
six
tlmc
to
three
times
weekly
Is
scheduled
to
begin
on
this
line
next
-week.
The
letter
came
on
the
heels
of
on
outburst
at
the
Junior
Chamber
meeting
Thursday
night
when
members
objected
to
what
they
termcc
a
"lack
of
courtesy"
on
the
part
of
Mr.
Vaughan
in
failing
to
reply
to
a
letter
sent,
to
him
by
Mr.
Ham
shortly
after
the
announcement
of
the
train
reduction
was
made
some
weeks
ago.
"It
looks
as
if
we
were
a
bit
hasty."
Mr.
Ham
admitted
this
morning.
"It
was
less
than
a
month
since
I
sent
the
letter
Maybe
we
should
have
waited
a
bit
longer
for
a
reply."
However,
he
fa'd
that
he
plans
to
prepare
a
brief
giving
raeons
why
dallv
train
service
should
be
continued
and
send
it
to
Mr.
Vaughan.
Mr.
Vaughan
said
in
his
letter
that
reduction
of
the
train
ser
vice
to

In
meant
a
saving
for
the
railroad
of
$200,000
annually
in
the
light
of
the
six
day
train
service.
The
amount
of
business
on
the
line
does

Justify

Mr.
Vaughan
stated.

the
story
on
himself,
wound
up
as
a
navigator
on
the
Canada
-to-Calro
run.
One
night
he
and
the
crew
decided
to
explore
the
west
Africa
city
of
Dakar.
They
visited
various
show
spots
and
cabarets.
About
midnight
Reynolds
became
separated
from
the
rest
of
the
party,
and
found
himself
alone
surrounded
by
strange
and
mysterious
people
who
did
not
even
speak
Ills
language.
For
Reynolds,
the
very
air
was
heavy
with
menace.
He
looked
about.
Nothing,
but
closed
shops
and
dark
alleys
on
all
sides.
He
had
nowhere
to
go;
no
one
to
turn
to.
He
was
utterly
alone.
Standing
on
a
street
corner,
he
heard
soft
footsteps
approaching.
He
gazed
apprehensively
from
side
to
side
at
the
lowering
shadows.
Then
he
decided
on
bold
action;
he
would
show
the
strangers
he
was
not
afraid.
He
would
shout
something
at
the
top
of
his
voice.
It
might
frighten
them
away.
The
mysterious
shadows
melted
Into
the
night
when,
Into
the
startled
African
darkness,
went
the
question
roared
at
the
top
of
a
pair
of
lusty
Canadian
lungs:
'
