Gordon Wismcr, a Liberal, as attorney - general, Premier John Hart announced that it was his Intention to enlarge the cabinet in a week or 10 days to 10 members consisting of six Liberals and four Conservatives. This would involve the naming qf two new Progressive-Conservative members in orr dcr to keep a reasonable representation, in the cxcutlvc council for the two parties forming the government. It was revealed that Progressive - Conservative member s, through Minister of Public Works Herbert Anscomb, had requested that the appointment of an attorney-general to succeed the late Hon. R. L. Maitland be deferred until a convention could be held to elect a new leader. Mr. Hart replied It was impossible for him to defer the appointment since he needed an attorney-general In connection with the preparation of legislation and in readiness for the forthcoming Dominion-provincial conference. He wished, however, to co-Dperatc to the fullest for the preservation of tlic coalition. He then announced his cabinet reorganization plans In order to preserve the status quo In relation to the House membership which includes 22 Liberals and 14 Conservatives. Harold Winch, C.C.F. leader, felt that the immediate appointment of an attorney-general had. been necessary and that Premier Hart could not have done better.

As a result of the Russian-Iranian accord the United' Nations Organization security council, meeting in Ncw York, appears to have jumped over a major obstacle to Its development as the world's peace agency.

Condition Of Highway Latest roac reports to reach the city from various sections of the Prince Rupert Highway in-dipatc that it may not be very long now until the only major obstruction to highway connec tion of this city with the outside world will be the big snowsjide just west of Kwlnltsa on the Skccna River about four miles from here. When the ilghway will be open for tiirough traffic will evidently depend on the expedition with which that slide is cleared up. .The- road from Terrace cast,-ward to Hazelton, which has been blocked by heavy snows pretty near all' winter, will be reopened to traffic next week following recent plowing operations, according to Douglas Frizzell, Prince' Rupert Automobile Association representative, who returned las week from a trip to the interior.

Miller Bay Hospital Will Be Major Health Factor In North A major health factor in the northern-central H.C. area is ready to open its doors within a few miles of Prince Rupert as soon as a staff is.available to operate it. It is the new loO-bcd Miller Ray Indian hospital, reconverted from an air force casualty hospital at a cost of many thousands of dollars. Physical arrangements for the hospital, which was converted Into a post-war centre for the treatment ot tuberculous patients from about 10,000. of Aic province's 20,000 Indians at least partly because of agitation by the Prince Rupert Junior Chamber of Commerce, arc in their final stages. A trip through the ncw'hospl-1 tal gives convincing evidence that it will play a full part In the treatment of many native people ravaged by the dread scourge of tuberculosis. Dr. J. D. Galbralth, director of the Miller Bay Hospital, and the man who for almost a year has been struggling to see it opened, says that it will bring to about 400 the number of hospital beds available In the province for the treatment of T,.B. among natives. Only a shortage of nurses, he says, will keep it from receiving Its first patients within the ncxTt month. That difflculy. he Is confident, will be solved, too. He promises that, when the hospital Is officially opened, there will be some sort of a "do"' probably a formal vecepticn for the people of nearby Prince Rupert. To Be Important Tl'rinre Rupert ' As well .as being an outstanding factor in the reclamation of dfseascd bodies, the hospital will have no small economic effect on the life of Prince. Rupert. In fact, It already has, for all the reconversion work lias been done by local contractors. Tills Involved adjusting Its five wards as well ns its extensive staff quarters to the purposes of a sanitarium, rather than its or iginal purpose, which was an Air Force casualty hospital. Among the changes made in the sprawling onc-storcy-'Tjutljj-Ing, was the division of Ititljugc open wards into prlvatepand semi-private rooms, nils'" re quired adjustments in Interior design which called for a pains taking amount .of foresight on thopart of Dr. Oalbralth. His explanations of the conversion problems worked out testifies that his years of medical and administrative work at the province's first Indian jJi'tiEsr-lum at Coqualeetsia in the" Frascr Valley were well spent.
