Bruce
McKelvie
Writes
'
It
is
fitting
that
we
should
make
some
acknowledgement
of
the
fine
publicity
Prince
Rupert
and
this
part
of
the
country
have
been
receiving
through
the
descriptive
articles
in
the
Vancouver
Province
by
the
veteran
newspaperman,
Bruce
McKelvie.
Some
of
Mr.
McKelvie's
articles
have
been
assembled
in
a
booklet
entitled
"Challenge
From
the
North"
which;
recently
made
its
appearance.
Further
articles
are"
continuing
to
appear
in

The
introduction
of
"Challenge
From
the
North,"
containing;
'some
rather
significant
comment,
is
as
follows:

a

storehouse
for

of
the
province
?
rThat
is
a
question
that
is
exercising
the
minds
of
many
of
British
Columbia's
leading
men
and
the
establishment
of
a
new
province
in
the
north
is
apparently
a
possibility
unless
the
people
of
the
south-,
ern,
populated,
industrialized
part
of
the
province
realize
the
immense
potentialities
of
the
area
and
foster
their
development,
primarily
by
opening
up
communications.
"There
is
a
vast
hoard
of
rich
resources
in
this
land,
scope
for
tremendous
development;
the
cities
of
the
south

the
supplies
the
Peace
can
produce,
and
the

southern

"No
great
vision
is
needed
to
see
the
tremendous
possibilities
that

SELECTIVE
SERVICE
Editor,
Daily
News:
A
very
serious
question
has
arisen
since
our
government
organized
,
so-called
Selective
Service.
What
is
the
purpose
and
of
what
possible
assistance
Is
this
service
to
us?
It
dees
not
promote
any
good
will
by
depiv-ing
us
of
our
freedom
of
choice
in
earning
a
livelihood.
Instead.
It
has
Jaken
on
the
cloak
of
dic
tatorship
and
proceeds
to
up
root
men
with
its
long
finger.
Go
where
you
are
told,
and
Ad
what
you
are
told,
or
take
the
c6nsequences."
Are
we
nat
a
democratic
na
tion?
Do
we
not
assume
our
ob-
ligations
because
we
feel
that
ours
is
a
basic
freedom
in
which
we
could
learn
to
live
with
pride
and
confidence
in
our
govern
ment?
But
are
our
patriotic
feelings
strengthened
when
someone
behind
a
desk
with
no
obvious
respect
fo'r
the
other
man
bellows-
out:
"Ycu
there,
take
this
Isllp
down
to
so-and-so,
there's
a
job
for
you."
I
am
speaking
through
personal
experience
with
Selective
Service.
Before
the
war
many
of
us
were
forced
to

Is

as
soon
as

cease,
this
act
will
automatically
come.
