taken
toward

constant

as
Vancouver;
and
with
a
well-equirjped
yard
already
established
and
in
a
position
to
cater
to
Asiatic
trade,
surely
this
industry
IS
worth
striving
for,
to
be
placed
In

Importance.;
Of:
equal
significance
Is
the
establishing

of
a
good

Certainly
unless
there
is
adequate
industrial
employment
plus
enticing
means
of
entering
Prince

there
can
be
no

In

knowing
that
this

is
the

as
well
as
historical,
stopping
place
for

whether
they
come
from
the
cast

couth,
should
we
not,
therefore,
make
it
especially
pleasing
and
inviting?
There
are
many
factors
that
would
contribute
to
that
end.
As
it
has
already
been
discussed,
our
railway
station
should
be
completely
modernized,
making
It
a
place
of
wide
windows
and
attractive
interior.
Also,
the
establishing
of
a
spacious,
cool,

is
a
prime
necessity.

that
are

Thirdly,,
there
are

The
Late
"Dan"
Matheson
We
can
join
with
expression
of
personal
regret
which
many
Prince
Rupert
people
will
feel
at
the
passing
of
the
late
D.
J.
Matheson,
for
years
city
treasurer
of
Prince
Rupert
'
and;
the
city's
final
commissioner
during
its
period
of
receivership.
"Dan"
Matheson
will,
perhaps,
be
best,
remembered
for
the
genialityof
his
personality
and
his
unfailing
courtesy
and
consideration
for
all
those
with
whom
he
came
in
contact
and
these,
in
the
course
of
his
official
(
duties,
were
legion.
He
was
nal'soi
an
able
and
discriminating
financial
official
and
administrator
and;
gave
this
city
good
service
for
long1
years.
He
was
a
real
pioneer
of
the
province
and
it
is
interesting
to
recall
:
that,
back
some
forty
years
ago,
he
was
mayor
of
the
now
dead
city,
of
Phoenix
in
the
Boundary
district
when
M.
M.
Stephens,
now
sheriff
here,
was
city
clerk.
Thirty
years
later
the
position
was
reversed
in
Prince
Rupert
when
Mr.
Stephens
was
mayor
and
Mr.
Matheson,
city
clerk.

Commerce
Chamber
Livens
Up
The
regular
secretary
was
absent
and
so
was
the
minute
book
and
the
official
files
but,
nevertheless,
the
monthly
meeting
of
the
Prince
Rupert
Chamber
of
Commerce
last
night
was
a
lively
gathering
in
which
views
were
fully
and
freely
efnfred
on
a
variety
of
matters
of
local
moment.
The
Chamber
of
Commerce
has
been
taking
on
a
decidedly
new
lease
of
life
of
recent
months,
stepping
out
of
its
old
staid
ways
in
a
manner
that
has
not
been
seen
'for
years,
all
of
which
is
to
the
good.
We
can
think
of
nothing
more
effective
in
promoting
the
development
of
the
community
than
a
good
lively
Chamber
of
Commerce
and
'that
is
what
Prince
Rupert's
is,
at
lpng
last,
developing
into.
Now
that
the
good
work
is
started
by
a
rejuvenated
body,
it
is
to
be
hoped
the
organization
will
not
be
permitted
to
drop
back
into
its
old
time
lethargic
ways.
Talking
of
Butter
The
Prices
and
Trade
Board
raises
the
butter
price
ceiling
on
the
one
hand
and
now
proposes
to
increase
the
weekly
ration
from
four
to
six
ounces.
For
some
people
the
increased
price
will,
of
course,
be
no
deterrent
to
buying.
In
other
cases
the
increased
cost
will
constrain
people
to
economy
in
use.
The
increase
in
price
will
be
generally
accepted
without
protest
since
it
is
designed
to
give
the
farmer
a
better
return
which
will
encourage
production.
As
for
the
four-cent
increase
in
price,
it
will
not
be
so
great
a
hardship
that
we
will
not
be
able
to
reconcile
ourselves,
particularly
when
we
reflect
upon
what
it
might
be
were
there
no
price
control.

Consistency
is
the
hobgoblin
of
little
minds

"little.1'
In
a
recent
issue
of
CCF
News,
an
8-sheet
publication
hailing
from
Toronto,
appears
a
wild-eyed
article
insinuating
that
advertising
is
more
subversive
of
the
juvenile
mind
than
"vivacious"
movies.
Exception
is
taken
to
an
advertisement
pointing
out
the
merits
of
training
a
child
to
save
his
pennies
in
a
piggy
bank
as
a
means
of
opening
"the
doors
of
opportunity
for
all
little
boys
and
girls."
Foaming
at
the
mouth,
the
writer
of
the
article
describes
this
copy
"as
misleading
as
any
piece
of
copy
possibly
could
be."
He
concludes
with
the
hysterical
shriek
"Long
live
capitalism!
Long
live
bank
accounts,
insurance
policies
and
piggy
banks!
.
.
.
Above
all,
long
live
that
seductive,
illusive
whore,
the
Great
Goddess
Advertising!"
Imagine
the
mental
and
spiritual
-anguish
of
this
writer
when
he
discovered
that
the
issue
of
CCF
News
carrying
his
phrenetic
outburst
permitted
the
seductive
and
illusive
whore
to
parade
in
its
chaste
columns
to
the
extent
of
770
lines!
He
describes
himself
as
"a
former
advertising
hack."
Why
"former"
and
why
"advertising?"
