It is appropri-' ate occasion for us to pay tribute to them as worthy and esteemed citf-' zens who form a very substantial pro-i )6rtion of the population of this city, ! being particularly prominent and I successful in our keystone industry ; of deepsea fishing. Imbued with the traits of thrift, ; industry, good judgment and integ-: rity, our people of Norwegian birth ; and xlescent we have always classed ! aa'among the. best examplars of good j citizenship. Ever in the forefront of ' wflrthy community activities and en-: deuvours designed to make where ' they dwell a, better place to live, they ' play a prominent, generous and valuable part. We do not, generally speaking, hold with the idea of super-emphasis upon the retention of spirit of original nationalism by those who come from other lands to dwell among us. The Norwegians, however, have brought to us so many good customs and worthy attributes from the land of their origin that, in their case at least, we can most heartily and sincerely extend to them our felicitations as they go about celebrating ;'the day of their na.tipnal birth. May Jhey have a happy time in so doing! The college yell of. the. school of' experience Is silence. IV1UST HAVE AIR BASE JF THERE is one thing that Prince ' Rupert should essay at this time it is Ihe making of a real effort to become equipped with proper terminal aircraft servicing facilities such as would, be provided by taking over and properly organizing the , Seal Cove seaplane base. With the crown offering to sell the base for a nominal $1 to make the deal legal, the difficulty with the whole thing is devising some scheme whereby the outlay of maintenance can be reduced to a minimum basis and provision made for the financing. It is something that will have to be gone in thoroughly but always having in mind the vital importance of establishing and maintaining permanent facilities which will insure Prince Rupert having its place on the map of aerial transportation. Without ! such facilities, we would soon be . finding ourselves by-passed in the world of tomorrow which will be doing a greater and greater propor-: tion of its travel in the air. ; ' Of course Prince Rupert should have an airport but we must admit . that there is no very immediate i prospect of obtaining that so the ! next best thing is a seaplane base. !.JNTow we have one practically ready . 'made for us, it is nothing short of ; e,ssential that we find ways and ; ' means of availing ourselves of the opportunity. ' It is to be expected that the fed eral authorities will be favorably disposed to doing everything in their power to make it as easy as possible to work out some practical plan which we would be able to carry out. As good a suggestion as any that Ave have so far heard is that of the mayor hinuolf whose idea is thai, we might be able to obtain a portion of the enormous Seal Cove war-developed project that would meet the requirements of a well-equipped and adequate seaplane base. Certainly all the ground and property of various kinds involved in the base as it now stands should not be required. Anyway, preserving at least part of the Seal Cove base for the peacetime needs of Prince Rupert in the way of commercial aviation service is something that we must get busy upon with as little delay as possible. We have been given the opportunity of helping ourselves and, if we do not do something about it, we will only have ourselves to blame if we find ourselves out in the cold a little later on.

THAT $16 SALAD A GOOD DEAL of unfavorable publicity has come to Anchorage as a result of flying foodstuffs here during the recent shipping tie-up," says Anchorage News. Outside newspapers have also been, carrying stories on various local strikes, including the unfortunate "school strike ," all emanating from Anchorage via the rush telegrams of various pre.ss service co-respondents. These events were all legitimate news stories and had their proper place in the, press of, the nation but the unfortunate part was they left much 'of truth to the imagination of readers. Possibly the stories were written and twisted about by the receiving agencies but there is also the high possibility that over-zealous correspondents at Anchorage, anxious to write in the flourish of "big city stuff" flirted with the facts sufficiently to make the stories more eye-appealing. The most unfortunate effusion was that of the $16 salad. It is true that Anchorage people could have purchased, enough airplaned salad ingredients to make the concoction cost $16 but it was highly improbable unless the greenery was served at a banquet of, some proportions. Take, for instance a salad for five persons and imagine it contained lettuce, tomatoes, cauliflower, green pepper, raw carrots, dressing and whatever other incidentals go into a salad. (We don't recommend this recipe). Two heads lettuce at one dollar each; five tomatoes for 90 cents; a cauliflower for $2; a green pepper for 4Q cents; two' raw carrots at ten cents each, dressing, etc., $1; total $6.50. Take into consideration, too, that due to lack of policy concerning application of air freight to foodstuffs, some stores sold well beneath these prices.. It appears, the salad was heavily flavored, with, some fancy figments .of the imagination.

UNJUST TREATMENT Editor, Daily News: Reading over the news .of the city council has prompted me to write these few lines. The eiiy engineer, Mr. Phillips, says before the council that he is unable, to get men to carry out woik on city streets and other Job.? he has to offer, Is 'It, any wonder he finds It hard 'W get men when tljrey are treated so unjustly. My husband, for one who was let out of his job on the pity garbage truck with no Just reason, is only one example. He worked for the city last year and was forced to. .leave h!s Job and'Prince Rupert due to doctor's orders that I get to a' moie suitable climate. He came back to Prince Rupert' only because, unemployment was so prevalent in. the south and he thought, after 33 yars residence in Prince Rupett, be should have seniority, arid, priority oh a Job. in th; city.' He holds the best of references from the city. Apparently others have heard of his' plight and figure why take a Job with the city if they trea,: their employees so unjustly. It is plain to see why the people in the south condemn Prince Rupert. GRACE A. OILLIS. Advertise in The Daily News.
