Why
the
New
Home
is
Needed
When
the
Prince
Rupert
Old
Men's
Home
Was
organized
five
years
ago
its
initial
facilities
were
recognized
as
only
a
temporary
measure
to
fill
a
growing
need.
It
was
begun
out
of
the
knowledge
.that,
while
in
its
first
30
years
a
new
community
merely
begins
to
grow
up,
yet
during
the
same
30
years
the
men
who
did
the
back-brcahing
ground
work
for
its
development,
grow
old.
There
were
no
old
men
on
Kaien
Island
in
1909.
It
was
young
men
who
felled
the
big
trees
and
burrowed
in
mus-heg
to
make
streets.
It
was
young
men
who
blasted
rock
to
let
the
railroad
through
and
drove
pilings
to
build
wharves.
It
was
young
men
who
lived
in
tents
and
cabins
while
they
built
houses
in
this
city,
many
of
which
still
stand.
It
was
many
of
those
same
men
who
remained
with
the
town,-
through
the
years,
contributed
to
its
development,
participated
in
its
life,
and
Were
part
of
it.
It
is
a
few
of
those
men
who
now
require
the
city's
help.
Sorrtebody
who
felt
that
he
was
wise
enough
to
know,
once
said
that
the
extent
of
a
community's
civilization
can
be
determined
by
the
way
iv
treat's"
its
,dca"di
He
might
have
gone
further
and
included
its
aged
and
helpless.
Jrincc
Rupert's
first
effort
to
assist
its
aged
and
helpless
has
played
out.
With
THE
PRESENT
HOME
Originally
intended
to
accommodate
eight
men.
There
arc
nine
men
living
in
it
now.
Np
provision
for
segregating
ailing
men
from
well
men.
Sickness
and
death
occur
in
central
room
where
the
other
inmates
eat
and
sleep.
Situated
in
an
extremely
undesirable
locality.
Sanitary
facilities
at
minimum.
No'
bath
tub,
only
one
shower.
One
toilet.
Cramped
laundry.
A
civic
disgrace.

Considers
the
PIONEERS'
HOME
a
cause
worthy
of
Sympathetic
Support
the
passing
years
the
need
for
greater
facilities
has
increased
while
the
accommodation
has
remained
static.
Today
the
community
looks
after
nine
of
its
pioneers
with
the
least
possible
consideration
to
their
peace
of
mind
and
comfort.
Public
awareness
of
the
need
to
correct
this
state
of
affairs
has
resulted
in
a
drive
to
raise
funds
by
subscription
to
supplement
a
city
appropriation
to
build
a
new
pioneer
home.
The
building
which
houses
the
present
Home
was
never
meant
for
the
purpose.
The
three
rooms
which
constitute
it
are
inadequate
in
size,
and
awkward
in
arrangement.
In
one
of
the
rooms,
which
is
a
sleeping
dormitory
or
a
dining
room,
depending
on.
the
hour
of
the
day,
the
whole
life
of
the
Home
centres.
There
is
no
infirmary
or
sick
bay.
There
are
no
food
storage
facilities.
In
short,
as
many
of
Prince
Rupert's
elder
citizens
as
it
is
possible
to
"accommodate"
have
been
crowded
into
this
back
yard
hostel
and
forgotten.
The
community
can
feel
proud
that
it
has)finally
remembered
these
men
and
is
taking
action
to
help
them
and
others
in
similar
circumstances.
The
tentative
plans
which
have
been
drawn
up
for
a
new
home
indicate
public
recognition
of
the
fact
that
they
will
be
at
least
allowed
the
dignity
which
their
past
service
to
the
community
dictates.
THE
FUTURE
HOME
Five
bedrooms
to
accommodate
20
men.
Planned
infirmary.
Spacious
cottage
design.
Secluded
.locality.
Pleasant
surroundings.
Good
view
of
the
harbor.
Adequate
wash
room
and
laundry
facilities.
Comfortable
sitting
room
and
separate
visitors'
parlor.
A.
well-spring
of
civic
pride.
