Thursday, June 8, 1944 t Ending Muskeg-Minded Isolation . . . Prince Rupert's isolation, which has been a traditional local complaint, will be to a great degree removed with the opening of the Skeena River highway late next month, and it will be a good thing for our presently hemmer-in mental outlook. j We have long discussed the many material advantages which will accrue from the highway, a long dream suddenly coming true. Possibly we have not thought to appreciate the psychological tonic it is going to be to us all in removing the dependence, if we wish to reach the outside world, on' trains anil boats. After the road is open and later when gas and motoring equipment returns to normal supply, we will be able to jump in our car, or go along with friends, for a holiday to fit in with any time at our disposal a fishing trip of a few hours to the trout-prolific lakes in the picturesquely rugged mountain country a few miles away from town, a picnic outing, a little further on to a pretty stream rippling. tin uugu uie giavei iniu uie ojveenu mver ouisiue ine( muskeg belt, an easy day's return trip to Terrace which will then be really within our intimate orbit, a comfortable paunt, one day's going and one day coming to Smithers or elsewhere in the lush Bulkley Valley all this in addition to opening the whole interior, the south coast and its metropolitan centres and the entire outside world to our ready access as we will. ' .,. . Yes, the opening up of the highway, over which the editor of this paper was thrilled with a pioneering trip to Terrace this week, is going to be something a good deal more than a commercial boon to Prince Rupert. It is going to be a great benefit to our morale in removing our isolation complex and muskeg-mindedness. H Dealing With the Press . . . In these days when newsnaners and newsnaner- men know so much more than they print and have become so accustomed to guarding, in the public in-1 terest, secrets of the utmost importance, those really experienced in handling affairs have accepted the policy of entrusting the people of the press witfrtheir confidence and relying upon their responsibility and integrity not to reveal which it might be undesirable for any reason to disclose. This is now the accepted practice for experience has proven that the better way to gain the co-operation and respect of the press is to trust it rather than insult it by attempting to keep things from it as they would from irresponsible children. Still there are some neonle who h.ivp wt. tn nn. preciate the fact that the press itself, through its constant contact with the public of which it has become the accepted representative, is better able to determine what is and what is not in the public interest. Unpleasantness is usually made more unpleasant by endeavours to stiffle it : A clean breast of facts is usually less damaging than a crop of rumors or buzz of gossip. Curiositv satisfied is no longer dangerous. Curiosity aroused is often very troublesome. were Mrs. H 8. Grieg and Mrs J. Hutchison and the home eoofc-Ing booth. Mrs. J. Forraan and Mrs. It. C.
