It Is surprising that certain prominent people of Prince Rupert fall to see an arena as' a valid, successful and appreciated centre of entertainment In the years to come. Hockey.

If there were a true appreciation of the seriousness of the struggle in which we are npw engaged, involving the privilege under democracy to even choose whether we shall have capitalism, socialism or any other form of 'ism, there would probably be no strikes. Some of the labor tie- ps which have been occurring seem to be over most inconsequential issues for example the strike in the Detroit steel plant in protesf at the discharge of a single employe who left the plant without permission. Of course, there are most likely deeper matters than this involved in this particular dispute. Rut it does seem ironical that the only plant producing .armor .plate for United States Army barges should be tied up at a critical Like many other strikes -which we have had in wartime, it appears that there has. been obstinacy on one side or the other quite incompatible with the general issues of the war and out of keeping with the sacrifices which our fighting men every one of them are making, time like this.
