Kenney, member for the neighboring constituency of Skeena, is becoming quite well kowh as a persistent advocate of the interests of this part of the province. Able speaker and sound logician; he has during the several years now that he has been in public life earned respect and attention both for himself and the northern part of the province. It was another valuable and constructive contribution to the Throne Speech which he gave in the Legislature yesterday, taking occasion, as he always doe.; to comprehensively present a case for his district and to preach his economic doctrine of practical "I shall fight to the bitter end;" declares Hlfi ler. And when yoil have done this, Adolph, it will be the bitter end. Flying Field Needed . commercial air service for Prince Rupert is the' lack of a landing field, it was suggested by Herbert Hol-lick-Kenyon, superintendent of Canadian Pacific Air L.ines, in speaning monuay nigm oeiore me rnnce Rupert Chamber of Commerce. Even before the war the Daily News was advocating the necessity of a' flying field if Prince Rupert was to keep in pace with the progress of modem transportation trends., Wijth the developing importance of the port and district, this is all the more obvious now. There may be difficulties in the yvay of developing a flying field here but it is essential that there slrould be one in reasonable proximity of the city. It is something that we wmild do well to start and keep pressing for. "Where does a fool get his money to be parted with?" asks a photographer. He usually gets it from an6ther fool.
