Prince

took
a
heavy
drop
under
the-figures
for
1944
while
the

Increased
slightly.
The.-
number
ol
marriages
last
year
was
almost
100
less
than
1944,
despite
the
fact
that
the
departure
of
the
military
forces
caused
a
considerable
flurry
in
the
marriage
market
late
in
the
year.
Tliere
were
288
live

in
thexity
In
1945,
against
353
in
1944
and
307
in
1943.
mere
were
10
live
births
in
the
district
outside
the
city
and
nine
stillbirths
were
recorded
in
both
the
city
and
district
during
the
year.
-Marriages
in
1945
totalled
79,
indicating
that
Cupid
lacked
nillllliiiiiia......
either
energy
or
material
to
work
with,
because
in
1944
he
caused
171
couples
to
essay
matrimony.
In
1943
there
was
an
even
more
bountiful
crop
of
marriages
191.
In
the
district
outside
the
city
there
were
two
marriages
last
year,
while
In
1944
there
were
an
equal
number
and
three
in
1943.
There
were
95
deaths
in
the
city
last
year,
an
Increase
of
two
over
1944.
In
1943
there
were
111
deaths.
In
the
district
there
were
13
deaths
last
year,
15'
In
1944
and
25
In
1943.
The
vast
difference
between
Prince
Rupert
and
the
rest
of
the
district
in
the
matter
of
births,
deaths
and
marriages
is
explained
by
the
fact
that
except
for
the
city,
the
district
is
very
sparsely

Chinese
girls,
In
appreciation
of
Chinese
loyalty
during
the
Japanese
occupation
of
Malaya.
The
Idea
Is
to
bring
from
two
to
five
Chinese
girls
to
Australia
each
year
for
a
threo-year
train
ing
course
in
nursing,
after
wtiich
they
can
return
to
Malaya
to
introduce
modern
hospital
methods
Into
Chinese
hospitals.
With
other
races,
there
would
be
individuals
who
were
loyal
and
others
who
were
treacherous,
but
the
Chinese
always
were
universally-respected
by
the
P.O.W.'s.

was
suggested
to

last
night
when
Inspector
of
Schools
E.
E.
Hyndman
informed
the
board
that

received
monthly
payments
for

Inspector

said
that
some
schools
In

Inspectorate
received
amounts
ranging
from
$3.50
to
$5
per
native
child
and
that
he
believed
that
James
Gillette,
local
Indian
Agent,
was
favorable
to
the
idea
of
it
being
applied
to
Prince
Rupert.
The
matter
arose
during
discussion
of

accounts
which
contained
a
charge
of
$4
for

for

for

said
that
the
bill

charged
to

bv
a

Indian
office
and
that
it
later

three
of

The

agreed
that.
