June 26, 1944 Interior communities such as Terrace, Hazelton, Smithers and the rest, appear to be more lively The New Fishermen's Floats . . . Having ourselves campaigned rather energetically and candidlyitof late for the new facility so that we might have the opportunity to preserve for the port our fishing industry which has been showing the tendency to slip away from us of late for one reason or another, one of the principal reasons being the limitation of moorage facilities for the fleet, the Daily News is gratified that a grant of 77,200 has been made by the federal government for the establishment of new fishermen's floats ,here. The amount may be none too laree hut. if put to good use, it should do much towards providing -I. icuM Mjine measure 01 relief. Uur local member, Ulof Hanson, has been working hard on this as well 1 as other matters and it is satisfactory to know that the government has taken some tangible action to show that it appreciates the situation. Although, as we have said before, we may not owing to war boom conditions, just recently have felt ourselves so dependent on the fisheries as we used to be there will no doubt again come the time that the fisheries will loom larger as a factor in our prosperity than they have of late. It is just as well that we should not lose sight of that fact. Japanese Naval Power . . The recent naval engagement in the area of the Pacific Ocean east of the Philippines may cause us to reflect upon the vital importance of naval strength as a deciding factor in the Battle of the Pacific between the Allies and Japan. As long as Japan has her powerful navy, inactive as it may be, she is a danger and a menace. Once it is disposed of, and there is reason to believe that our side will be able to dispose of it whenever it conies out in the open, we will be able to tell ourselves that we have gone a long way towards the vanquishing of Japan. Nippon, as yet, has indicated no narticular strength as an air power such as Germany, Great Britain, United States and Russkt, to a lesser degree, have manifested. Japan has the manpower for army and industry but, great as that manpower may be in the potentiality of fighting ability and industrial production, the country will bo largely hlpless with her heart at the mercy of the sea power and air power of her enemies. She is still very vulnerable in spite of the ruthless fervor of her f ighting men about which we hear so much. And Japan will be doubly vulnerable once Germany is disposed of. It may be that we will soon have to be as careful about Japan's "so sorry" talk as we have to be about German's impending cries of "Kamarad," LETTERBOX Sl'PPORTS PIONEERS' HOME Editor, Daily News: ! One of the many objectives of i I the Trades Union movement has been and will continue to be the comfort and security of the aged. We realise the hardships and obstacles surmounted by our pioneers of the province and of this city. These pioneers, in the main, have all been honest, hardworking, industrious and imbued with the spirit of opening up the last great west. The present city of Prince Rupert was such of their undertaking. It was, no doubt, a pleasure for them, to see and know that they were helpful in many ways to bring Prince Rupert to the city which it is today. But it Is tragic today In a modern age that these aged people cannot enjoy the security and comforts of a modem and appreciative than we here in Prince Rupert of the progressive area instead of hav virnllv imnnrtnnt rplntinns hin nnri association that ins u spena pernaps will result from the new Skeena Highway which is to be completed about the end of July and which, presumably, will be open after that time to public l 4ll rtVl1 If f 1 4 jn w uni-?ni -i s-1 i t - A If S m ATAH I 1.11 1 ' I II' 111 I 111 IV IIV sLIie- ill I1ILV lift IIIIJLIJI their last days in the back end of an outdated, Inconvenient and overcrowded hovel such as is now used as a ' Home" for these pioneers, who have given their best vehicle owners and operators to travel.

Everywhere throughout the central interior people are planning and talking about driving to the coast at an early date. They are intrigued by the prospect of at long last being able to travel here if and when the spirit moves them by means of transportation which they can schedule to please and suit themselves. Prince Rupert people, of course, know that the road is about to be opened but they do not seem to be fully aware of or greatly interested in the changes it will mean to us the opportunities of developing a, friendly neighborliness with the communities and the districts which will, as a consequence of the highway, be brought into a contact with us such as could never be afforded under the limitations of railway service. Prince Rupert, and particularly its business people, would be well advised to develop the contacts with the people of the central interior which the road will make possible. It is a type of contact which all progressive cities have capitalized and thrived upon ever since automotive transport and modern highwaya-beeameso highly developed during the last few decades. ments we did find the "Home" clean and In order, thanks to the diligent work of the caretakers But the idea of several of these folks, sleeping and eating In the same room, with furnishings that did not suggest the com- Area Softball Starts Second Schedule Half Beginning the second half of the Area Softball League scheduled this week, eleven games are booked to be fought out starting tonight.
