Prince Rupert and all the communities eomDrlslae Friday, October 25, 1946 DRY DOCK SITUATION pRINCE RUPERT PEOPLE can be excused if they feel the situation in regard to the dry dock here is!i a little hard to take. Earlier in thfe year when protestations were made at the yard not being used for new shipbuilding, explanation w.as made that it was never meant as a shpibuilding yard in the first place but was ntended as a repah yard. Now the annual overhaul of the company's own ship comes up arid it is announced that it is to be carried out in the south. Naturally, it. makes local people wonder what kjnd of repair work, if any, is to be carried out here. Plausible enough reasons arc advanced as to the emergent conditions vhTch make it more efficacous to carry out the overhaul of the steamer! Prince Rupert in the south. Lack of personnel and organization to do the work speedily here is the chief reason. There is not that personnel arid organization at Prince Rupert because there is not enough continuous work to justify the overhead. No doubt, it would be very fine to have the Prince Rupert repaired here. Everybody is disappointed that it cannot be done. The problem now seems to be Something much more far-reaching than the mere job of repairing one ship. It involves the larger question of use and development of the port facilities here generally. People of Prince Rupert have good reason to be unhappy and dissatisfied with a situation wherebv the railway company, which is charged with a job of giving us good a service as it can compatible with sound business principles, is unable to have the steamer repaired here. They are still faced with the solution of the problem of broad development to bring about conditions under which such incidentals could be taken in stride. The railway officials have been constantly reiterating their desire and continued efforts towards a fuller use of this port and its facilities, including the dry dock, for the mutual benefit of all concerned.

In the 10 days since the campaign opened, abcut 50 per cent ojf employees in the division have been canvassed and the results have Jtown considerable Interest n this method of saving, , Final results will be available after the close of the campaign cn October 31. The Savings Bond campaign, while carried out on lines similar to that used in the Victory Loan drives during the war, Is more loosely organized and the bond sales are being handled Independently by some departments ' and not channelling through the divisional office. However, those departments In which the bond sales are being handled through the divisional offices indicate that applications for bonds in substantial denominations are frequent.

Today's farmers are getting very nice prices plus subsidies. Labor is cutting a thicker and thicker' slice of the production cake. The unholy wedlock of price control on standard goods and hiqh taxation gives the manufacturer little or no encouragement to produce the staple lines consumers want and much encouragment to produce fancy alternatives or nonessentials. The effect of all this which is a scarcity of goods people really want and very substantially hgher prices hits the farm, labor and proprietor, but not nearly so hard as it hits the fixed income families. A swiftly growing share of the family income is going for the bare essentials of life. Family food bills are soaring. So are family' clothing bills. So is almost everything else. Thousands of Canadians are already starting what could become a nationally serious "buying strike." With their spending power crippled by taxation and crushing costs for the barest, essentials of life, they not only have less to spend on things, but they arc becoming increasingly intolerant of the prices they are being asked and in many cases, the quality they are being offered. That group whose income is relatively fixed, and who have not participated in the upward adjustment which has kept' family income closer to its traditional balance with family outgo, represents a very big and important segment of the market for the products and services of farmer, labor, proprietor and jiro-fessional man. That middle income group is the big market for new cars, refrigerators, furniture, insurance, contributions to church and charities, a'nd so" on. Early repeal of wage and salary control may do something to restore a more healthy balance between what might be called the producing and consuming groups. It may do something to improve the spending power of the nation's great "middle class" market. Without prompt adjustment, there is substantial cause for concern about the business outlook and not too far in the future either, t Frederick C. Crawford, former president of the National Association of Manu-s facturers in the United States, recently said: "Shakespeare wrote, 'all the world's a stage and all the men and women merely players.' I want to add, all except newspapermen, for they must look on and report events." those who bought bonds was $540 per purchaser. Figures for Prince Rupert were not available.

I, too, am of the opinion that cur station (or should I'sav CBC) could and should see to it CHURCH UNION FREE KINSHIP Rector of St. Andrew's Is Speaker Pefore Rotary Club The individuality of the enlightened human spirit would constitute a major barrier to the organic union of the churches but would, on the ether hand, be a strong factor toward a voluntary spiritual unity under the centra! leadership of Christ, Rev. Basil S. Prockter of St. Andrew's Cathedral told the Prince Rupert Rotary Club Thursday In an address on Church Union." Outlining the history of the movement for union cf the Protestant churches and the arguments favoring it, Mr. Prockter attributed its beginnings to the foreign mission field where religious differences mean little to a convert, despite their Imbedded Importance in Europe. "Church differences re not a live issue to a convert in Madras. The Christlon church in India should not be American, English or Swedish it -hould be Indian," he declared. "It should conform .and be relevant to the life of the people." The unity movemeni also grew out of the association on this continent of national churches which had existed independently in their countries of origin be-fore being transplanted here. The ecumenical movement of that Hhese games are broadcast over CFPR. It's hard at times for seme of the fans to strain their ears to hear the hoekey game frcm other stations. So why should they when CFFR is at our door? If only CFPR could give seme hint of how to go about obtaining this broadcast, we would listen to that hint. Yours for better listening.

It enables you to add to your present holdings of Victory Bonds by the same tried-and-true method you used Independent churches has also assisted the churches to act In fellowship, although it Involved no organic union, Mr. Prockter said. Except for this ecumenical i movement, which Inspired a sense of spiritual unity with German Christians, Hitler might have been able to smother Martin Nelmoller and other remaining Germanrellglonlsts. Churches In other countries gave opposition with one mighty voice. Hcwever, unity also Is fraught with danger, Mr. Prockter asserted, and one of the reat I dangers is that of "levelling," "Some argue In favor of this 'levelling" by saying that there Is only one God-so why not have only one church?" but I feel that th more we progress on our spiritual voyage, the more we are likely to diverge. "Divergence and variety are thlmjs that accompany the development of the human personality. If we are not developed we tend to be all alike but the things that make us human arc the things that make us different from one another." "With national radio and international moving pictures we have very little left by whteh to remiain Individual and human. I feel that we should cling to the Individuality --offered toy re-l.fion." The type of union that would respect thwse divergences would v voluntary type of spiritual kinship, similar to that enjoyed In the British Common-feMth of Nations In which men would be allowed to live in a certain type of unity, bowing volunlarilyho a ccmcnon Buy Canada Savings Bonds! 1'.. during the war; paying for your purchase in cash, if you like; but better still by convenient instalments, as you earn.
