He failed to a negro who was leaning against the wall, "I say, boy, how would you like to earn a half 'dollar? Help to cany my baggage to the nearest hotel." The long gangling form of the man addressed remained leaning against the station wall. "Ah tloan' know's Ah do, boss. Yo' see, Ah's already got a half dollar," Now some Canadians are like that with their Canadian books; ,they have already got a book. This is; written to emphasize National Book Week which will be observed between November 2 and 9. It is hoped that everyone will buy 'at least one Canadian book. Every Canadian wants to see the cultural ilife of the Dominion expand. The iCanadian culture we want cannot be ,vll advanced unless more Canadians read Canadian books and books about Canada. Writing books is hard work, involving months of study and re-search, for fiction as well as for factual books, for the background of. fiction must be authentic. The actual tying and re-typing of hundreds of pages, with constant revision, is a hard grind. When the book is published the author receives ten per cent of the retail price. Thousands of copies must be sold to enable the author, to pay rent and ;grocery bills. ; .:.!There are many good Canadian books on the market that make excellent Christmas gifts. Encourage a fellow Canadian by buying his book. jNEED OF COASTGUARD I' N LINE with our .own advocacy, the newly - organized Canadian' Fishermen's and Fish , Handlers' ! Union at Halifax comes up with an exhortation for the establishment of a Canadian Coastguard Service similar to that of the United States which is exemplified close to Prince -Rupert with the big coastguard .station and substantial personnel innd fleet which is maintained at Ketchikan. Z The United States Coastguard '.has even on occasion come to the raid of Canadian vessels in waters :which Canada should be taking care ;of itself in this regard but against emergencies in which it is now as woefully lacking,, if not more so, jUian it has ever been before. ; It is difficult to estimate how !much shipping property or how jriany lives might have been saved ;in the past had there been an adequate coastguard service in operation on this part of the coast to jsay nothing of the southern British -.Columbia coast and the east coast. But we can picture without too ;much imagination some sort of a ".marine disaster wherein the existence or lack of an adequate coast-;guail service hereabouts might tmean the difference between great ;toll of death, destruction, hardship, suffering and relatively small. . A coastguard service might well be co-ordinated with a defence program on this coast but, apart from that, it is long since overdue in the interests of adequate protection and safety of life and property which traverse the sea past the coasts of Canada including the port of Prince Rupert. STRIKES VS. PEACE A STUPID MAN wants to WHEN express himself, he uses his fists. A wise man uses his brains. The use of force in any form is an offensive weapon which, engenders force as a defensive weapon. If. only for these reasons, strikes as an instrument for settling disputes between the members of an industry are bad and should be discarded. There is a very little evidence that strikes have achieved for labor benefits that are anywhere commensurate with the amount of suffering ' they have caused. They have con-, tributed, more perhaps than anything else, towards the maintenance of a wide gulf between Capital and Labor which by now might have become much more fused in their objectives but for the leaning towards truculence. Labor has benefited most in terms of higher standards of living from the increased efficiency and productivity of industry and from public enlightenment. It takes a little analytical thoughMo see how Labor can obtain through" the same avenues the increased benefits it desires from the future. Labor must not see itself as something apart from the public, or its responsibilities as something apart from those of management. It must demonstrate how its interests are a part of the interests of the public and of the industry concerned. Whatever benefits come to Labor from the harder road of persuasion will be much more permanent than those which come from th.e,use of a. blunt club, which is what a strike' is. Many industries which in the past have given into Labor's truculence in the hope of attaining lasting peace have had as many stoppages of work since, as those who lave fought Labor with equal trucu-ence. This seems to be the case between Ford in Canada and Ford in the United States. The amount of money spent by the union on strikes, should have been used for educational work and peaceful political activity. A million dollar advertising campaign would do labor a great deal more good than million dollar strikes. Labor must show industry .that its prpfits come from a high standard of living Jtmong workers. This can't be done with a club; it can be done by a pen in the hands of wise men. The best points on which to negotiate are those in which mutual interest exist. To the outside world, it seems that there are many points in which Capital and labor's interests are bound by the same conditions. Moreover, it does not seem that exhaustive efforts have been made over a long period of timeout of the heat of strikes to establish those points of mutual interest. The problem is local and national in scope.

Traxler-. letter in the Tuesday edition or the Daily News and. differ with him on most everything he says: He mentioned a'oout the lot Prince Rupert being "gypped" I Decause they do not hear the hockey broadcasts Well I still think they are ''gypped" as they i nave to pay the same radio licence as In other oa'rts of the country and don't get the same returns for it. He f.lso mentions beefs direct ed at outsiders because thev weren't catprlnr tn tVn unr,t. .... , I here. Let me iiy here that some of the outsiders could not catpr to themselves let alone to anyone else. A whole lot of them came here during the war so thev could set a decent llvlne but of coursa. they don't give the n'ace ! any better a name. I have been ! 1 told by a scod many people both uptown and in the Dry Dock that I they wouldn't vtay In this dump ! They were soln back to the prairies but I notice some of j thesi are still In the so-called I -'limp. . About the pirty trying to find out about the time the boat left, don't you think it would have been more 'aerslbli if he had jked where-the ticket off ice was ' which is the proper nlace for that sort ot information? I have been In Prince Rupert tor a nuirkr of years now and 1 1 have always found the people 'H-y fr!endly and oblijin?. If Mr. Traxlf r hasn't it is probably Ms r-wn fault ii r,tct I have 'iund them more friendly here than in any other place I have xea 0 far and I don't think they are too t'aht or mean to v.y 25 or even 50 xents for any ipme In town. Tho.se games to oriie -conic mav be a. 0d a hockey but It still doesn't mean hat we should not have the hockey broadcast once a week especially when it ccmes at a time that doesn't interfere with other names. As for sportsmanship, I can't find any fault with it. Lists n In cr jto to most any big league game today and :t is a common occurrence to see two or three of the players getting in trouble through quarreling or fighting.
