Saturday, September 30, 1944 EDITORIAL "SACRIFICE" NOT "DISASTER" ... The episode of the "lost army" at Arnhem may be accepted as a "sacrifice" rather than a "disaster." In the regret of losing thousands of men 1500 of them dead we might at first be inclined to think that a blunder had been made. On more sober reflection, however, and, with all respect to the men who died and those who mourn them, we might conclude that thf yiicrifice may have been worthwhile if it con-tributetf in a tactical way towards the flanking of the Siegfried Line, the entrapment of 200,000 Germans and the opening of the road to Berlin. In fact the episode may very well have been an important factor in the final culmination of the whole Battle of Germany. Of course,, it is hard to lose our men, whether they be singly or in thousands, but such is war. We cannot hope to kill all the enemy without suffering some losses ourselves. We cannot win all the stakes we put up. POST-WAR CONSTRUCTION . . . Prominent men of the construction industry from Eastern Canada, visiting Prince Rupert this week and expressing keen interest in the place, suggested that it was timely now to think of what might be required here in the way of post-war construction work. They pointed out the importance of the construction industiy in the economy of the country and the flexibility with which it could be rapidly changed from a wartime to a peacetime basis. Other progressive parts of the country are interesting themselves very1 actively at this time in the post-war possibilities of construction industry, eighty cents out of every dollar of which is spent on labor. It is undoubtedly something that Prince Rupert too might interest itself in but, unfortunately, the most of Prince Rupert people seem to be still exclusively engrossed in their own interests in the already re ceding wartime boom and not much concerned about the condition which may follow the war or steps that migHt.be taken' to meet it. KEEPING UP RESERVE ARMY It was fitting that Major-General Alexander, the inspector-general, Canadian Army, should have suggested to the men of the local reserve unit, on the occasion of his visit of inspection this week, that they are carrying on a useful work in training themselves for emergencies which, remote as they may seem at this time, might still arise. One of the jobs in war is preparing for possible surprises. Many things are done in war which might have seemed in the light of subsequent events to have been unnecessary but which, under different circumstances, might have been of vital importance or the failing to do which might have been held tragic negligence. As long as the war goes on, the local regiment may be considered an integral part of the country's defence machinery. It is also bridging the period until the younger men come home from the wars abroad to take over, together with the boys who will be coming of age, the function of the peace time militia. The reserve may well carry on and citizens may consider it an honorable duty to join and take part in its activities. BETTER TAXI SERVICE . . . Travellers tell us that the lack of taxi service, particularly at the late night trains and boats, is creating a bad impression upon strangers coming to Prince Rupert. Some time ago, at the instigation of the city, an effort was made to provide a more efficient taxi ser vice in spite of the difficulties of war time restrictions and lack of manpower. For some time there appeared to be an improvement but there has been a supping DacK lately, it is said, to the old unsatisf ac wry contiuions. There should be some way in which the taxi people could get together to render as effective and regular a service as possible with the limited facilities at hand. Possibly some co-ordinated attempt could be made to meet the essential needs.

He was a well known prospector.

' i: ' -sm Queen Charlotte Islands and Naden Harbor. Only two cargos of halibut arrived in port last week, making it the lowest period since the beginning of the season. On Thursday the Canadian boat Kaare II and the American boat Spray each brought in 40,000. The Kaare II sold to Storage, and the Spray to B.C. Packers. Of the 10,608,300 pounds of halibut sold in this port this season, 4,732,300 have come from Ameri can vessels and 5,876,000 from Canadian. Earlier predictions by halibut men that the season for Area Three would close by the first week in October apparently will not be borne out. The 27,-CC0,000-pound quota is still within two and three million pounds of being filled, and there has been a general decrease in halibut fishing. The canned salmon pack for the week ending 'September 23 took a surge upward tp 954,719 V2 cases to top the previous week's pack by approximately 60,000 cases, the largest part of which was pinks. Pinks dominated in all canneries, 388.065 cases being packed. Total pack of all types in the Naas and Skeena River areas waS 408,310V2 cases. The Fisheries department bulletin reveals that last weeks pack was the lightest of any for the last six years. This has been a fabulous season for fishing dogfish off the Queen Charlotte Islands and off the Alaska coast. While, no. specific figures are available, at present, fishermen admit with modest conservatism that it was a "good year." Activity off the Islands has been called the "dogfish rush'' and southern boats have been doing their best by it. Many of the local village.
