Wednesday, August 23, 1944 EDITORIAL ; FIRST PONTOON 4 Work will go on tomorrow at Prince ;Rupert Dry Dock and Shipyards much as usual, but there will be? old timers who may momentarily recall that it was just 30 years ago at 3 p.m. that the first pontoon on1 the floating dock was launched. , Prince Rupert dry dock has a proud history a proud reputation, built on hard work and sound boat-handling knowledge since that time. It has seen and played a vital part in two world wars and although removed from the 'first degree battle lanes, it has nevertheless been 'foremost in its contribution. Everyone who has been associated with this great dry dock and shipyard and those employed today, from the top to bottom, may well feel proud of their plant and of themselves for the job they are doing. THANK YOU! A little appreciation has worked wonders. It has rolled away mountains and paid high dividends. It has a soothing and exhilerating influence beyond measure. Therefore, the Chamber of Commerce in passing a vote of appreciation to authorities responsible for the improvement of 6th Avenue are making a wise move. They are like the understanding man who sends; flowers ahead years ahead of another s .funeral. All people like to be appreciated even when they are doing routine jobs. The Chamber of Commerce; might well spread its gospel of appreciation and win for Prince Rupert the reputation of being the most .grpcious and most appreciative port on the Pacific Coast no meairreputation for cultivating the tourist industry in the post-war period. 1 Lets .all make it a practice of saying "Thank Yju."

SECRET PAPERS FIND RIDICULE STRONG WEAPON By FRANK LOWE LONDOV, Aug 23 0 They're reminiscent In appearance of high school newspapers Cana dan teen-agers put out with little equipment and boundless enthusiasm, these papers that preach the gospel of truth In occupied Europe, but the message of resistance and hope they carry makes up for the crudt ness of their structure. New on display here, these -.amples of Europe's underground press represent the resistance movement In 10 occupied countries. No two are alike not only do they differ In languar. but their make-up and means of printing have no similarity. Hatred of -German j1 is the lone con slstant note. All are makeshift affairs. Put out under the constant threat of the Oestapo with death the imlmeographed sheets. In most cases, pnmea on iwo siaes oi , rough paper. A few, though, are more pre tenttous. Those are the ones put out by men and women who have been fortunate enough to find a hand press and a eouple of cases, of type True, In such 1 cases the type Isn't always unl-; form, with the result that In print a word will look like this "UNde gRouNd." But that doesn't matter. Most cleverly of all samples-whlch come from Belgium France, Poland, Oreece, Luxum-ncurg, Norway, Denmark. Hoi land, Czechoslavakla and Yugo-lov3kla Is a fikrtl rcny of thr Oerman-controlled Le Solr from Belgium. So cleverly did the un derground ccpy the official prod uct their resistance paper was delivered by the unsuspecting Oermans themselves. Utronsest "weapon of these papers Is ridicule. Hitler. Ooeb bels, Ooerlng are held up In caricatures and in stinging article as the colossal frauds they are. This ridicule Is, for the most part, not bitter a surprlsln paper consistently tough In Its outlook is the Yugoslav sample. There ridicule Is replaced by grim exhortations to kill the Invader and fighting ardor Is heated with atrocity stories. One paper, De Frle Danske, claims to' have a foreign correspondent In Berlin Itself and gives his sobering accounts of the Nazi capital under fire their largest space. Circulation of this secret paper Is said to be 100,000 a figure many Canadian papers would be glad to claim. Other underground papers claim circulation figures mat range from the 192,000 ci Combat, a French resistance paper, to 2; 000 for the average pamphlet type, FOUR YEARS AGO IN THIS WAR By t Canadian Prem Aug. 23, 1940 Italian troops reiorted massing along Groece's western frontier as Fascist press attacked Greek government for alleged mistreatment of Alban lan minorities.
