Of course, we had definitely known for some time that the work was not to be done here but, nevertheless, the official announcement of the contract being let to another yard causes somewhat of a pang. The yard here has been committed to ship repairing rather than shipbuilding by heads of both gov-, eminent and railway. Even if that ; is the cdse many think some of the considerable amount of sioii work on war vessels to peace-: time function should not be carried on here. As far as can be learned, however, no step is being taken with the end in view of obtaining such work . Meantime, the vard is right back to where it was before the war a repair plant for fishing vessels. We are, of course, glad to have the fish boat work all there is going of it but, as we view the now quiet plant where thousands of men worked not so long ago in a rush and tumult of war ship construction, we cannot help feeling a little sad nor can we repress the thought that there should be something better than that. We are trusting that something'is being worked out to provide for better utilization of the plant. OPERATION CHURCHILL JOINT OPERATION by Canada J and the United States defence organization of the Hudson Bay port of Churchill, ostensibly as an experimental and testing kcentre!Jor war equipment, is obviously linked up with a realistic plan for the development of the northern defences of the continent against the possibility of I enemy coming across from the Polar region. It is, of course, part of a plan to train our forces in northern warfare against the possibility of such .warfare ever breaking out. Probably we shall hear further propaganda- from . Moscow about Churchill .being part of a campaign directed by. Canada and the United States against Russia. We people of Canada know that there is no desire of making war upon Russia but we would be remiss indeed if, in view of the way that Russia is herself now acting, Ave were not doing something to arm ourself against her menace. SALMON CANNING STORY "THE STORY of the Canned Sal-I mon Industry of British Columbia" is the title of a graphic and very interesting booklet which has been published by Nelson Bros Fisheries Ltd., operators of the Port Edward cannery near Prince Rupert. In fact it is truly called "an occupational study of the canned salmon industry." The style of production is new and attractive. Every phase of the canning industry, starting at the 1 beginning of the actual fishing operations and followed through to processing and dispatch of the finished product, is described not only with popularly written and readily understandable narrative but with a profusion of synchronized pictures. It is a concise and brief course in the salmon canning industry and is worthy of a place in permanent files of reference on British Columbia FRIDAY, THE 13TH nERISH THL THOUGHT, but to-r day is Friday, the thirteenth, a period fraught for some with dark and superstitious perils. Those who take stock in the superstition surrounding the day conceive the hours as a procession of . enemies which must be guarded against with a great variey of rituals and symbols. For instance, no true believer would leave home in the morning without assuring himself that his pet luck piece was safely in his pocket. That would be to court disaster. Nor would he, under any circumstances, violate any of the minor superstitions that on ordinary days a careless person might hope to get away with. Punishment, undoubtedly, would be quick and dire. Occasionally, a citizen of superstitious persuasions might take a chance and walk directly under a ladder if the reason is great enough. But not today. Ordinarily, he might even have truck with black cats, and look at the moon over his left shoulder. But not today, even if he could see the moon. Thus surrounding himself with all the safeguards of ritual, protocol, dogma and even a touch of common sense, the superstitious people will "sweat out" the day, hoping for the best, but fearing the worst. Ancl having taken proper precautions, it would only be natural that they should be slightly dissappointed if something unpleasant didn't happen to someone else. Those who survive today can look forward to another Friday the Thirteenth this year in December. dian Pacific steamer Princess Louise.
