President Truman's Problem The recipe of President Truman for the economic prosperity of the United States is based on the old theory of small margin and big turnover as the basis of successful business. That is what he means when, in his Message to Congress, lie advocates higher wages with no increase in prices, countihg on large scare production and selling to employed people to preserve a balance within the bounds of sound business operation. Speaking generally, Truman is inclining, as' did his illustrious predecessor, towards the common man in his economic prescriptions for the nation. With the war over Truman is facing economic difficulties in the .country, different yet Quite1 as difficult, if not more so, than' those when Roosevelt first .took over in 1933. Whether he will be able to meet the situation as effectively as did Roosevelt in those lean days remains to be seen. Roosevelt Went in in the depth of a depression then fully under way. There was much privation and scarcity. The problem today is to prevent such a -depression after people have been used to good times and it is going to call for a lot of, resourcefulness, determination and cqnvic-tion. There will be many stumbling blocks and not the least among these will be a reactionary and powerful opposition to some of his proposals. Port Edward Folds Up . . .

Schofield, evidence stated, had eaten tainted black cod for supper several hours before he found dead. was Halibut deliveries In Prince Rupert in December 1920 totalled 1,065,000 pounds, an amount almost equalling deliveries to all other Pacific Coast ports W. E. Denning and William Wilson announced plans to establish a cooperage business in the city. The announcement was heralded as an important one by fish packers who at the time were importing barrels. Capt. Tony Martinson purchased the fishing boat Livingstone for $11,000 from Louis Holme of Tacoma. The vessel was 68 feet long, with a beam of 13 feet and a capacity of 10,000 pounds of halibut. Suit for $1,960,000 was filed in superior court In Spokane by Patrick Daly of Nelson, former superintendent of Premier mine, against four Fernie men, owners of the mine. Daly' alleged that R. K. Neil, one of the. mine owners, agreed to give him a fifth interest In the mine and that the offer had been approved by the board of direc tors. Expenditure of $32,000 to re construct the government wharf in Prince Rupert was credited with saving the city's fishing industry, Five fishing compan lest set up permanent locations on the wharf.

A considerable amount ! viduais to foster the develop of property was sold during the en suing few days. The old Prince Rupert Hydro-Electric Co. started the construction of a power plant but the citizens of Prince Rupert refused to give it a franchise, choosing instead for public ownership. The war came along and the industrial prospects at Port Edward and Prince Rupert both went flat. A cannery was, however, eventually established at Port Edward and has since developed into a combined cannery and reduction plant. Then came the big American staging project as a. part of the supply line in the war in the Pacific. Now the Army has gone from there and the great dock and storage installations are to be turned over to the War Assets Corporation for disposal. It is, in fact, a well-equipped port. It seems regrettable that it should have to be broken up piece meal and dismantled. We should like- to have seen some sort of postwar activity carried on there either in the way of industry or shipping, particularly since the facilities have already been provided. First Aid Always Useful . . . Interest might also be bespoken for the local St. John Ambulance Association which plans resumption in the near future of its first aid classes. War intensifies the interest in such activities as first aid. It fo-cusses attention on its value. But the knowledge' of first aid and ability to annlv it is something that is of per- mnnpnr iirp and one never knows ment of our city. Deputations have gone to Ottawa, countless letters, and wires have been sent. But we have not yet seen any tangible results. The railway and the dry dock are managed by good, practical men and It can safely left with them whether there should be a daily train or if more ships should he built at the dry dock. It is time we took a practical view on these matters and realize that we should not advocate the continuance of services or industrial undertakings which are not feasible economically. Instead let us endeavor to capitalize on our great natural resources and our very favorable geographical position. We find that we have fish in abundance and also timber and great advantages for shipping. We should centre our efforts on these matters which, I believe, could be developed into lasting future benefits. Let us make a beginning to help ourselves. Stop asking for trains, ships for the dry dock and grain for the elevator. Let us do this: (1) Acquire a" centrally located army building, convert It into a public market, have it ready, for use by August of this year, and we will have farmers from all along the line as far as Van-derhoof coming here" To '.sell produce and to buy what they need. (2) Concentrate our efforts on the starting of a ferry service to Alaska. One or two of the big landing barges used by the armed forces can be obtained cheaply and with a little alteration would be suitable for this purpose. If we coutd get half of Alaska's trade it would mean more trains, than' wp ever had. Let bur slogan be 'Handi across the bor-der." (3) Renewal of our fishing ! fleet. Ih this connection, if the ;yhen a situation might arise where it would be instrumental in simng, pose x suggest lhat we take the life and relieving suffering. Too often emergencies occur where there' is not the knowlenge which might be of inestimable value. THIS AND THAT Th Cfr;i M.llliw KA.m. Errl..

When a new settlement grows up or an old one expands, someone has to do some figuring. The money has to be found for that little new school-house or that added wing to a collegiate crowded to the corridors. The municipal bonds which finance the building of schools, hospitals, water-works, hydro plants, and other community projects which contribute 'to our national health and enlightenment, are financed to a large extent from the funds of Life Ins'irttnce companies. Dollars you have paid in as Life Insurance premiums may already have returned to your community.

Other investments include government bonds., public and industrial securities, farm and home mortgages, etc. This hard-earned money, representing the thrift of the nation, creates a never-ending cycle of Jobs far and wide, as well as safeguarding the future security of four million policyholders and their families.
