It is satisfactory to know, from the announcement in the Daily News today, that the federal government has found a sizeable sum of money for the provision of new float facilities at Prince Rupert as well as elsewhere in the area. At least, we now know that Ottawa can on occasion dig up a few dollars for work other than that directly connected with the war effort The floats at Prince Rupert are certainly badly enough needed as are the other mooring facilities detailed in our news columns elsewhere. They will be appreciated. Garbage Cans . . . Amid the untidiness and dilapidation which is in evidence around Prince Rupert so much these days stands out as an eyesore the garbage cans. To be noted frequently standing in front of dwelling places in Prince Rupert, some are apparently parked there permanently as the feeding place for hundreds of rats and millions of flies to say nothing of the stray docs and the alley cats. Some Prince Rupert people may be getting so used to such things that they do not notice it very much but we have found that the iin JlJriaec; on1 Ulnnirlntinn nf f no ?fv IB nrU flip nnp liUilUl CM vci Vitb VUiiniitu w ui jcuvi nnv a im years ago used to find our town a place of beauty with its attractive streets and gardens. The garbage cans are, of course, a menace to health, the more so when they are permitted to remain parked indiscriminately at the front doors on the main streets. J. . The city council would be well advised to return to the old system of garbage 'collection just as soon as possible. Meantime, the householders themselves, in the interests of civic and personal pride as well as from the health standpoint, might be expected to find the time and effort required once a week to carry the cans to and from the front lot line. 4 "W Some things are told best in their own words says Victoria Colonist. Of such is a letter written by a Canadian officer overseas to his parents in Victoria, discussing the facts of life. The letter arrived opportunely, if poignantly, aJfew days before the death of his father, in this community. It dealt with the obligation of children toftheir parents, and was written by a man who had done no little reflecting during the lulls in the battle. We could cite the name of the officer, but prefer not to. In a sense this letter belongs to all parents, everywhere, from a considerate, thinking and dutiful son. Let his words speak lor themselves. We quote: "Dearest Mother and Dad: "It is already midnight and I am on my way to bed, but I must pause to tell you something which comes continually to my mind, especially in these sunny spring days when there is opportunity to browse on the past and plan the future. "As I contemplate a family of my own, and look about me at those of others, I am struck by the blind acceptance by children of advantages which their parents have toiled to give them. There is not so much as 'I thank you' for vears of cruidance. affec tion and endless exnense. Children seem tn p-rnw nn leave home, and with but few exceptions, make no enort to repay those early years of kindness and unstinting help in every way. "I want you to know that I appreciate all these things you have done for me, and if I have not ex pressed this to you it is because of a certain embarrassment or shyness, which I find difficult to explain. I am erateful to vou in manv wnvs fnr broadmindedness which you have always shown me an insistence on strict honestv and the Golden RhIp a freedom of action which 'l will find hard to nw own flock. I fear an exnensivp 1 affection a good home encouragement pleasant meats anu goou clothing. "All these things I appear to have just .accented, like so many others, but now. althoutrh tardy, I hope it is not too late to say 'I thank you,' from the bottom of mv heart. "Good night, my dears, "Your loving son."
