advocating

will
begrudge
Olof
Hanson,
MP.,
the
prlviledge
of
declaring
the
road
officially
open
at
Terrace
on
Monday.
As
a
citizen,
as
a
businessman,
and
as
a
member
of
parliament.
Mr.
Hanson
has
consistently
fought
to
connect
Prince
Rupert
with
the
continental
highway
system.
"I
became
active
in
the
matter
of
getting
a
highway
shortly
after
the
railway
was
completed
in
1914."
he
told
The
Dally
News.
"The
Idea
developed
many
years
before
that,
however.
As
early
as
1007
1
could
see
the
need
tor
such
a
road
while
travelling
up
and
down
the
river
looking
after
my
logging
interests."
During
the
early
years,
recog
nltlon
of
the
need
for
the
oad
was
purely
on
an
economic
basis
and
it
was
confined
to
a
few
far-sighted
businessmen.
In
1919
Mr.
Hanson
spoke
before
a
meet
tng
of
the
Frlnce
Rupert
Cham
campaign
to
stir
interest.
He
found
himself
surrounded
by
an
atmosphere
ol
pessimism,
and
with
only,
a
few
supporters.
Several
tlmes
during
his
par-
UamentaTy
career
Mr.
Hanson
raised
In
the
house
the
need
fon
a
road
to
Prince
Rupert.
HU

made

1942.
two
months
after
Pearl
Harbor,
stressed
the
urgent
military
re
quirement
for
such
a
road.
He
said,
"While
it
has
loo;
been
desirable
from
a
commercial
point
of
view,
because
of
the
war
situation.
It
now
becomes
ap
absolute
necessity.
In
making
this
statement
I
am
sure
that
I
shall
not
be
considered
at
talking
only
for
the
benefit
of
the
"constituency
which
I
represent.
It
is
a
strategic
ntcr
J-slty
for
the
defence
of
Canada
I
cannot
state
too
strongly
that
this
is
an
enterprise
.
which
should
be
undertaken
at
once."
