PAOB TWO THE DAILY NEWS PIlINCE KUPERT, BRITISH COI.UMRIA Published Every Afternoon Except Sunttay by Prince Rupert Daily News Limited. Third Avenue O A HUNTER, MANAGING EDITOR DAILY EDITION Wednesday. April 12. 1044 Olof Hanson Retires . . . Olof Hanson, M.P. fur Skeena. admits for the first time publicly his intention to retire from the membership at the conclusion of the present term which probably means next vear. Mr. Hanson's friends had known for some time that he intended to retire but there had been the hope that he Wight reconsider and be a candidate a.train at the next election. Of course, reconsideration is even now not beyond the realm of possibility but is extremely unlikely. Holder by many years plurality of the record Cot lonevitv of tenure as federal member for this district, Mr. Hanson ha. been Skeena's representative at Ottawa continuously for the fourteen years since the general election of 1990. Steady, industrious and conscientious to the interests of his ridinu and his constituent- collectively and individually. Mr. Hanson has become something of an epitome of good service and it w ill be quite a task to have to cast about to find a successor suitable and aide to carry on the work which to him and to us has become Hither an institution. The next Parliament of Canada will, no doubt, have the tasks and problems of the postwar reconstruction period to face. We have considered the ma.unitudinous job of the war Parliament the most important that any Parliament in Canada's history to date has had to face. The ponfcwar Parliament'-position will be of an even more important bearing on the destiny of the Dominion. It will, therefore, be a serious business, this matter of Skeena ridinjtr settine itself about the makinir of a new choice to succeed Mr. Hanson. We the voters of the ridintr will be " ishinir to see follow in his footsteps a person not only capable of representing the interests of this ridine but of appreciating and dealim with national and international matters which will command the qualities of statesmanship from the members each and every one of the next Parliament. So we are well justified in urtrine- upon the people even at this earlv date the advisability of considering the matters with no little earnestness. It is important that Skena and every other seat in Canada should have a irood and able member in the democratic vet all powerful body politic as constituted by the Parliament of a nation which war has brought to full stature in the communities of the world. So. in our anpreciation of Mr. Hanson and his .irood works and in expressing a feelino- of reine that he has evidently determined himself not to jarive us anothev onnortunitv of sending him as our renre-senti-i've to Ottawa, we must conioin in our related comment the suwestion that the choosirur of his successor is a matter of importance not only to our own community and ridine; but to the country as a whole. About all of which we shall, no doubt, be hearing considerable from now on. Chief Justice D. A. McDonald . . . Probably no justice of the Supreme Court of Brhish Columbia was better known in Prince Rupert than the late Hon. David A. McDonald, more recently Chief Justice of the Appeal Court of British Columbia, whose passing we recorded Tuesday. A comparatively voune- man when he first occupied the bench at the periodical sessions of Assize Courts in Prince Rupert, we bad seen the Chief Justice grow oldr and greyer but his wisdom, learnedness and sympathy as a jurist never became impaired. He was esteemed by all those who appeared before him in any capacity in the courts and to his friends he was known at a congenial companion and associate. His passing i to be regretted here as elsewhere in the province.
