Box 13GC MEMBER ABC. ErPhillps Oppenheim Jtt'hV.fi.te Edward Phillips Oppen-hejm was one of the world's most ifrpfflic and j)opular fiction writers for more, than half a century. Though ihis output slackened during World War II, when the Germans seized h' homes on the Riviera and the Channel Islands, he had been turning out spy thrillers, mysteries and society adventure books at the rate of three or four a year from the beginning of the century. . The total number of his books exceeded 150, in addition to many short stories and plays. ' In 1941 he published his autobiography, "The Pool ibf Memory." ; Of his; methods, he explained: "I; create'one'more or less interesting What City Council Did Council last nlgh,t adopted the nnu'al report of Fire Chief H.

By- his-process he created such best-sellers as "The Lighted Way" (1912), "The Great Prince Shan" (1922), "Murder at Monte Carlo" (1932), and "The Last Train Out" (1941). Mr. Oppenheim attributed his career as a writer to a custom his father inaugurated at home. Each year the elder Oppenheim required his children to write a story to hn read on Christmas Eve, a prize going to the author of the one voted the best by the family." Mr. Oppenheim at the age of 13 broke his father's winning streak. "One writes stories," Mr. Oppenheim once explained, "because if one left them in the brain one would be subject to a sort of mental indigestion." As to plots, he declared there were not more than a score in the world, "and when you have used them all from A to Zed you can turn around and use them from Zed to A." personality, try to think of some dramatic situation in which he or she might be placed, and use that as an opening of a nebulous chain of events. I let my characters work out their own destiny." He never der neither the zoning or fire regulations. In a letter, Mr. Nesbitt told ot his inability to find quarters to house his taxi office. Aldermen expressed sympathy for Mr. Nesbitt but found themselves unable to side-step the bylaws. An appeal by the Canadian National Institute for the Blind was referred to the forthcoming estimates meeting for decision as to a contribution by the city. TEACHING IN PRINCE RUPERT One of the points raised at the Discussion Group last week at trje residence of Mrs. J. H. Black was the large turn-over of teachers In the city teaching staff. It was pointed out that this was not merely the experience during the war years but even before then, and many of those teachers are now occupying posltloas ol great responsibility elsewhere. It was also stated that the school board had had quite a lot of difficulty in getting satisfactory teachers and possibly even more in keeping them. In some cases the classes were too large. in one case much too large for the classroom. Compared with centres near Vancouver it wai pointed out that many of the teachers there were able to take extra educational classes at the university at the week-ends and In the evenings and so Improve their standard and, therefore, their salaries. The opportunities to hear great speakers, singers and other cultural treats were not duplicated here. The com-paritive isolation of Prince Rupert was another factor while there was no doubt that the cost of living was higher here. The chief solution would be to offer a salary scale at least equal to any other In the province, and, to offset the higher cost of liv- Phone 108 PRINCE RUPERT PLUMBING , & HEATING Repairs and Alterations OIL BURNERS INSTALLED, SERVICED AND CLEANED Corner Second and Seventh Sti West Night Calls Green 787 Black 861 Blue 170 See Us for Your ...

Supporters of the idea felt that, until the port was so organized, its facilities could not be fully co-ordinated for the fullest and most effective use in trade and shipping. On the other hand, there were those who felt that certain han-rlcaps might be entailed by having a Harbor Board, such as additional charges. Finally, it was decided to have a special committee go into the whole matter and bring in a report at the next meeting after which such steps as are deemed advisable will be taken. This committee was appointed in the persons of A. D. Ritchie. E. T Applewhalte and Frank Skinner Hotel . . . Is arrivals Prince Rupert L. S. Muir, Vancouver; T. L. Dick, Winnipeg; R. E. Walker, Vancouver. ing, an additional amount should be provided. It was stated that this had been the practice at one time. It was felt that, with the Cameron Report providing extra assistance for the cost of education, this would be the opportune time to plan a salary scale that would attract and retain first class teachers. Hi n " 0t Trappers Attention Y I T N E S I R S "Thinking is hard work; Prejudice Is a pleasue." The adult education program of the Prince Rupert Civic Centre will have as one of its aims the stimulation of constructive thinking among the members who enrol in the stucy groups To attain the highest degree of community welfare, we must have an informed, alert, thinking community. A "Community Clinic" study group would benefit in this way. Adult education will not only help in educating on a communlty-wiae scale but will be of value to the individuals who realize that education means growth and growth most be a life-long process. Many adults who in their youUi may have gone "creeping like snail unwillingly to school," find now a pleasure In seeking and shar ing information upon cultural and vital topics. They would de rive personal benefit from a LIBRARY BUDGET SET AT $3,600 Estimates of $3,685 for the Prince Rupert Public Library were submitted to city council last night and were recommended for adoption at the forthcoming estimates meeting by Alderman Arnold. Alderman Arnold said that the figure wis similar to that allowed in the civic budget last year.

All work and no play Is as undesirable in adult education as in education of youth, and such diversions as a special lecturer to address the group, or enjoying together a radio broadcast relative to the topic, will add interest.
