Let's
Do
Something
-
It
is
a
pity
indeed
that
a
tragedy
had
to
intervene
before
we
could
get
around
,
to
doing
something
about
pi-oviding
the
worthy
pioneers
of
Prince
Rupert
with
something
better
than
the
hovel
which
they
have
had
to
put
up
with
during
the
past
several
years
and
which
was
finally
destroyed
by
fire
yesterday.
Possibly;
Bert
Johnasen
and
David
Robertson
might
have
been
still
alive
had
if
not
been
for
yesterday's
conflagration.
However,
this
is
beside
the
p!oint.
The
thing
now
is
to
implement
the
objective
which
we
have
long
since
agreed
upon
and
for
which
we
have
already
laid
aside
a
substantial
fund
namely
the
provision
of
our
pioneer
citizens
with
d
decent-and
comfortable
home
for
their
declining
years.
We
have
no
Pioneers1
Home
at
all
now
and
something
has
to
be
done
about
it.
It
is
to
be
hoped
that
we
will
not
be
satisfied
with
some
other
poor
makeshift
accommodation,
but
that
something
really
adequate
will
be
provided
without
any
further
delay.
If
we
judge
public
feeling
aright,
that
is
the
unanimity
of
desire
even
if
another
financial
effort
may'
Have
tb
be
made
to
finally
effect
it.
"Franklin
Roosevelt"
Park
:
It
is
a
happily
appropriate
idea
and
one
of
which
we
thoroughly
approve
to
change'
the
name'
of
the
dominating
high
point
of
Prince
Rupert's
topography
frorn
the
ancient
Greek
"Acropolis-Hill"'
to
modern
American
"Franklin
Roosevelt"
Park.
There
need
be
no'
jingoistic
qualms
about
it.
That
part
of
the
city
will
always
be
associated
in
history
with
the
presence
there
of
the
-American
forces
in
the
Battle
of
the
Pacific
and,
as
time
goes
on,
it'
may
be
expected
to
become
a
sort
of
liiecca
for
our
tourist
visitors,
the
great
majority
of
whom
come
from
the
United
States.
For
them
there
will
be
the
sentimental
interest
in
seeing
the
actual
spot
where
so
many
thousands
of.
their
men
lived
while
''overseas."
And,
apart
from
that,
of
course,
it
is
the
vantage'
point
of
the
entire
city
from
a
view
and
scenic
standpoint.
With
the
renaming,
the
city
assumes
the
responsibility
of
assuring
that

is
maintained
as
a
fitting
and
creditable
memorial.
It
would
be
a
hollow
honor
to
the
great
President
if
it
were
allowed
to
deteriorate
into
a
'
f
dilapidated
eyesore.
On
the
other
hand,
it
could
and
should
be
developed
into
a
place
of
lasting
beauty
as
well
as
practical
utility,
creditable
to
the
community
and
honorable
to
the
commemoration
of
the

Fight
The

for

of
the
Prince
Rupert
dry
dock
now
that
the
war
is
over,
than
seems
presently
planned
has
reached
a
disappointing
position,
due
to
the
obdurate,
refusal
of
the
authorities
in
control
to
even
make
a
statement
of
policy
on
the
matter,
where
it
might
be
very
easy
to
followt
the
line
of
least
resistance
and
give
the
whole
thing
up.
The
fact
remains,
however,
that,
if
we
ever
did
have
a
case
in
this
matter,
we
still
have
it
and
the
mere
fact
that
we
have
not
been
making
very
much
progress
in
achieving
the
desired
end
should
not
cause
us
to
throw
up
our
hands.
We
have
been
showing
the
powers
that
be
of
late
that
we
are
very
enthusiastic
and
on
our
toes.
This
is
no
time
for
weakening.
There
is
certainly
nothing
to
be
lost
by
continued
agitation.
Tfie
surest
way
to
lose
out
is
to
give
up
the
fight
ourselves.

Build
Again
The-
welcome
sound
of
civilian
construction
work
is
being,
heard
in
Prince
Rupert
again.
The
chug
of
the
compressor
and
the
grind
of
the.
rock-
crusher
are
like
sweet
music
to
our
ears.
From
across
the
street,
where
they
are
starting
a
new
business
block,
we
hear
it
in
our
editorial
rooms
at
the
Daily
News
office.
There
was
plenty
of
such
noise-during;
the
war
years

this
is

it

Many

are

Mr.

In

I
would
respectfully
request
lhat
you
continue
the

by

the
subject
further.
"What

has
Just
a
tinge
of
selfishness.
Therefore,
would

your

to

had

series
and
i
been
found
guilty
of
breaking
for
your
editorial
notice.
I
have
read
the
various
contributions
from
your
other
readers
and
you,
too,
will
doubtless
have
noticed
the
same
thread
throughout
them
all
(and
which
was
not
entirely,
absent
from
my
own
contribution)
which
is
that
certain
things
should
be
done
and
somebody
else's
capital
invested
simply
because
It
Is
"What
Prince
Rupert
Needs."
Now,
In
thinking
over
the
situation
as
doubtless
others
of
your
readers
have
done,
I
find
It
is
no
use
thinking
about
things
in
general,
terms,
more
or
less

It

to
