" ' - We Win the Fight ; As satisfactory as may be the outcome' of Prince Rupert's united protest against the move of the Army to obtain the Y.M.C.A. war services building, on the eve of its being turned over for formal opening as the city's community centre is the impressive exemplification of vyhat njay be accomplished when all .sections of the community get together in common cause and with united voice. Never before had there been a: more striking incident of united expression of indignation here and certainly we can recall no previous eijual example of speedy and favor-aplej response to the determined vpicp bf aroused public opinion. : Nor will here be any less appreciation of the concession that is made just' because we had to get up on our hind legs and show that we meant business when we felt an attempt was made to deprive us of $iat we had been promised in binding undertaking. No doubt if we had net expressed ourselves as emphatically and effectively as we did the ting would have been accomplished. Kprtunately, the rights of our claim were appreciated upon due considerate. S Now that we have seen what is possible when we all get together in jralling" for. our fair and just dues, re should be heartened for other efforts which we might have to make oil behalf of causes of importance to te community equal to that of the cvi centre. We should have learned by now through the many lean years the futility of pulling individually in only partial enthusiasm or actually at cross purposes in matters having to do with the interests of the community as a whole. The technique which brought such effective results in the instance of the civic centre matter might well be borne in mind for we do not have to think very hard to conjure up other matters where similar tactics at the right moment 3 might prove effective. ' As for the civic centre itself, we might remind ourselves that we have insisted with united voice that we want it. In that very demand and its outcome we have incurred a responsibility which will require our continued united efforts to successful discharge. We are happy to have won our point in connection with the civic centre building but there is nothing to exult about The very .tone of the final message which concedes us the point suggests that the authorities will be disposed to hold us to the bargain which we are willing to accept at this time. That is something we would do well to think about. Greatest Assets One of the greatest assets of any nation is the intelligence, initiative and industry of' its people. The obviously progressive course is to encourage in every possible way those who have these qualities to such an exceptional degree that they are able to contribute substantially to the welfare of the nation as a whole. If special ability is penalized to the point where incentive is destroyed, or the possessors of that ability are forced to seek employment beyond our borders, we embark on a shortsighted policy which will retard prosperity and will drastically hamper our national development It is upon the brains, knowledge and energy of this group that a country must largely depend for the measure of its success in converting natural resources into national income. 7:30 Musical Clock' " 8:00 CBC News 8:15 Fred Waring 8:30 Music for Moderns 8:45 Little Concert 9:00 BBC News 9:15 Morning Devotions 9:30 Kato Mendelssohn 9:45 Transcribed Varieties 10:00 Showtime 10:30 Round-up Time 10:45 Homemakers 11 :C0 Scandinavian Melodies 11:15 Thoughts for Today 11:30 Weather Forecast 11:31 Message Period 11:33 Recorded Interlude 11:45 Personal Album PJ4. 12:00 Downbeat 12:15r-The Novochord 12:30 CBC News 12:45 Matinee Memories 1:00 Modern Minstrels 1:15 Musical Memories 1:30 B.C.

SOc, St at druggiiu everywhere, R-W TOU-t Women Leader In Talk Here Stressing the need of personal national and international friendships to alleviate, the feeling of loneliness' and Isolation which, she said, was universal among groups and nations, as well as among Individuals, Miss HlMa Hesson gave an Inspiring address to the Prince Rupert Business and Professional Wo men's Club last night. The meeting, which took the form of a dinner, was held in Reid's Cafe, with. 3? members and friends present. Mrs. Nora Arnold president, was , in the chir. Miss. Hesson, who is, an alderman of Winnipeg, is national president of the Business and Professional Women's Clubs. No stranger to, Prince Rupert, sh& recalled that, on the occasion of her last visit, the sidewalks were "on stilts." In January Miss Hesson at tended an International confer ence of bu,sines and professional women held in New York at which representatives of 20 countries and 27 states, of the USA., were present. She mentioned particularly the Persian pilncess who. represented. Iran, the Arabian representative from Lebanon, two women doctors, from Cuba, a Polish business. girt, the French representative Iron. Paris, and two New York women reoresenting the Colored Club, of Harlem. She mentioned that in Biltaln, before the war, there were only nine Business, and Professional Women's dubs, but that today there are 105. Twenty-seven of these have been sponsored by funds from Canadian clubs. In New Zealand there are 11 clubs, and, since VE Day British business women have raised a "Llghts-up Fund" amounting to. 5,000 to aid in the rebuilding pf chifys In Euror pea.n countries damaged by the waivln Canada there are 1000 members and it is heped to raise thlsto 3000 this year. Membership and participation by business women in tfils federation, Miss Hesson felt, would serve to widen their horizons and to link them with women everywhere. She said that the spirit of women is one that Is not daunted by war but one that "seeks to rebuild,, an.d reuew' and is a powerful force for jood in the world. By uniting with other business women throughout the world, having similar problems and ideals, she saici much could, be. accomplished which might make for real peace in, the days to come. The meeting opened with the singing of "O Canada." Toast to the King was proposed by Miss Frances Cross and Miss Leah Basso-Bert welcomed the guests. Mrs. J. Bolton thanked" the speaker on behalf of the local members. f w the vista of yl Krt h Share INI TODAY'S STOCKS Courtesy S. D. Johnston Co. Ltd. VANCOUVER Bralorne 17.25 B.R.

We have tried to persuade big business to come here but they have shewn little Interest. So let us try imali businesses and industries, such as auto camps, gas stations, health resorts at natural hot springs, salt mines, brick works, pottery making plants, fiult and vegetable freezing plants, cold s,(orage Vaskelr plants, a brewery, with Its filled industries', a bottle making plant, as. we)l as a package wrapper making .plant. It has been said that good beer ' requires good water. Well we have the best oh earth pr any-, where else. Whether we drink It Or not Is unimportant providing it Is the best procurable, in which case the .railway and steamships will haul it away from here instead of as at present hauling it in here. Then.we have1 the tourist trade to think about. If you can envision the Prince Rupert Highway in condition to be rated A steamship passengers on arrival here would be directed to busses, taxis and private cars, transported along the highway to Ter rape where thejr would see nature in the raw, with Its wild life, mountain scenery unsurpassed anywhere In the world, farms, ranches, lakes, hoisprlngs, swimming pools, arriving back in Princ e Rupert with tlrnf to spare for shoanln? and sl'fht-seeln? arpund town., before sailing time.

We lune not done mure than scratch the surface of the tourist, industry. n Hipansion of our tourist traffic wjll prove Invaluable to tbe poet-war development of our country, but it should be accompanied by a great increase in travel between. Canadians themselves. For a more closely-knit unity, more friendly understanding between all sections of Canada, there's nothing like the meeting and mixing of tbe people of our nine provinces. Canada has variety of climates and scenic beauty, traditions of courtesy and hospitality to emial any nation on earth. Tbey should be better known to visitors anil, Canadians alike. .
