She is Miss Phyllis Young, a successful authoress at 23. who arrived here Wednes day in the course of a speaking tour for the Canadian Club. She spoke last night before the local Canadian Club and will leave tonight on the Prince Rupert for Vancouver where she will "rest . t...i!.. up prior 10 "auacKiiig. u"iy- . j This afternoon Miss Young i . , ... was uiu BUO ui w; n.uw "u,.,rf.

Permanently lamed as a result of the London blitz, Miss Young was sent to Canada by her publishers to gather material for a book with a Canadian background. She admits that she was "sidetracked" Into the speaking tour, but is having a wonderful time at It. "I wouldn't have missed It for the world," she said. "I'm really having a wonderful time. I am also; writing my Impressions of Canada as.. I. .go along. So far I have visited 30 Canadian cities."

Jarrett, whostt.body was found In Prince Rupert harbor Tuesday afternoon, found that he "came to his death by drowning during a period of unsound mind between March 25 and 26 in Prince Rupert harbor." The inquest was held, last night. Jarrett's body was ldentlfeld by Oscar Havroy, proprietor of the Pioneer Hooms where Jarrett lived. Jurors were A. W. Allaire, foreman, L. Chris-topherson, P.

It was this drug which allowed her lacerated face to heal without scars. New Flowers in Rubble ' A unique feature of post-war London Miss Young says, Is the fact that out of the bombed rubble are growing species of flowers that have never been seen before. The colorful blooms which hide the grim ruins are now being named for the first' time. Miss Young believes that they may have been types of flowers that died about 400 or 500 years ago and, were brought to the surface by the bombs which ploughed the deep soli. "Otherwise. I guess the only explanation is that they were given us as compensation to cover the destruction by the almighty," she said. "Because they were born of the blitz they j are called 'fireballs.' " fl Fred Goering's Frame-Ups Adolf Hitler and His Nazis Slopped at Nothing to Perpetuate Their Beastly Regime NUERNBERG O) A former German secret police official declared today that Hermann Goering engineered frame-ups In 1938 which resulted in the dismissal of both the war minister of the Reich and the chief of staff of the Army as "de-chlve steps before the outbreak of war."

H. Carl Goldcnbcrg Patience in Waiting For Settlement of Grievous Work Problems Required It is not reasonable to expect that six. years of bloody warfare will, have removed the conditions of human and international relationships which caused war and that the problems of the world can be settled overnight after war is ended, declared H. Carl Gol-denberg .Royal Commissioner on provincial-municipal relations, who spoke thought-1 ' fully and Impressively before the j Prince Rupert Gyro Club at lun-; cheon yesterday on the subject of "Questions of the Day" from a world standpoint. "War does not suddenly change human nature," declared the speaker. Basically, all people were Interested In perSonal security and welfare. National rivalries still existed. Therefore, there should not be undue pessimism If the settlement of postwar nroblems seemed a slow nro- cess. Rather there should be patience and tolerance as all strlved towards a better and more peaceful world. Is Hopeful For United Nations Speaking of the' United Nations Organization, Mr; Golden-berg felt that prospects were indeed better for its ultimate success In bringing about peace and security through political co -operation among the natloiu. There were the experiences of the old Leagu? of Nations In which it was to be remembered j that the United State did. not . Y. . ! I 1 1 . j .. 1 . . . W&mim BuWl'wean4 fable to expect for succcs-lrr'tho settlement of all problems In a few weeks. There, were, many varieties of hnmalr beings Vwtthj widely differing Interests and conditions to' be reconciled. Mfr. Goldeiiberg stressed the importance of economic co-operation as a basis for political co-operation. Where there was economic insecurity and mass unemployment of the people the field was ripe for the rise of dictatorship aid the destruction of democracy as had been il lustrated in Germany.' and her satellite nations. "Where there is no economic security, people are hot Interested In democracy but In the assurance of main tenance of a living. Prosperity and economic welfare are in divisible. One nation cannot j lock lts,t up regardless of th I I rest of the world and imagine It can be prosperous unto itself. In that way lies war." Canada and the United States were today moie than ever dependent upon inlerna-tional trade and the finding of markets for the products they produced. Therefore, today it became necessary for them to finance their customers so that those customers could reconstruct themselves and buy "our" goods. Thereby prosperity was shared. llic nations today must pursue policies recognizing the Indivisibility of economic prosperity. Before the war Canada's foreign trndc had been largely In the disposal of her raw materials and products. During war she Today she was capable of a huge manufacturing production. Her customers had no cash so the only way they could buy was by borrowing the money from Canada which had It. "If we do not lend, therefore, our industries are idle for lack of markets and we have unemployment and de pr,csslon. International co-operation and prosperity are necessary if the average man "Is to be able to earn a living." Meantime, it was not to be expected, that there would be a rational viewpoint among the I nations which were ,stlll suffer ing from destruction and hungry. There was nothing sur-, prising about the fact that they were still embittered arid did not.j become democratic, overnight after five" years of bloody war. "Democracy Is based on cer tain fundamental requirements I A AM I fAif m ,wi i' w tv i Election Mel Thompson Chosen Mayor With Twelve Aldermen and Police Chief Prince Rupert's Teen Town elected its first mayor, alder- , men and police chief at elections held last night in the Civic Centre.

GREEK SHIP IS ASHORE Freighter Alfios Is Still Held Fast On Treacherous Sable Island HALIFAX Q The Orcek freighter Alfios ran aground on treacherous Sable Island, 170 miles off the coast of Nova Scotia, Wednesday night, and was still held fast today. - The Halifax-bound vessel was not reported In any Immediate danger and her captain and crcW refused to abandon ship. which must first be satisfied before we can make effective the terms of International government. So long as the people of Europe are suffering and are insecure democracy cannot be established there.
