Premier John Hart's reply to the federal government at the Ottawa conference is typical of the British .Columbia prime minister's businesslike and practical methods. He approves the underlying principle of move assistance being given to the (provinces but does not see where it ijs coming in the formula the federal "government has offered. Mr. Hart is insistent that British Columbia's revenues shall not be im-rpiired by any intergovernmental taxation agreements. ' " . Yesterday was remindful of the episodes which happened at the abortive conference several years ago on the Rowell-Sirois commission report. Mr. Hart was yesterday more diplomatic, however, than were Messrs. j-Pattullo and Hepburn in those days. ; The conference goes on and all hope ; that it will result in satisfactory ' agreements being reached, i .With war over it should be pos-: sible to make lasting commitments that should stand for some time. Educational Finance Report . . . The report of Prof. Maxwell A. Cameron on educational costs in British Columbia will be received with much satisfaction by the local school administrative bodies for all along the line the report advises shifting 'of a very material portion of the burden of educational costs from the municipalities to the provincial government not only as regards the current overhead of education but also in the matter of capi-.taly expenditure such as financing school buildings, which so many com-munities need badly none of them T" notoriously than Prince Rupert". i v " it might have b6en expected that 3the teaching profession would not be ' very enthusiastic over the recom- BUY WITH CONFIDENCE CONFIDENCE, in your Men's Wear Shop is the knowledge that the shirt J you buy will wear as well as the one you bought before . , , that the shoes you try on will stand up as long as the others did . . . and that the suit you look at. has the same honest workmanship that helped the other one give . such faithful service.

"THE MEN'S SHOP" Announcement . . . G. R. MUTRIE REGISTERED OPTOMETRIST Who recently had offices In M. Hellbroner's Jewelry store Is completing a successful trip through the interior and Prince George, will be returning to Prince Rupert November 26, to take permanent offices In the stone Block, 3rd Ave where he will be pleased to meet former patrons and others who may require a complete qualified optical service. WAIT FOR FURTHER ANNOUNCEMENT G. It. MUTRIE mendation to reduce the minimum salary limits but a statement from their association finds the report "sound" and "a general improvement." It is possible that such a re duction policy might not be actually implemented although it would be validated. Certainly it would not help the continuing problem of obtaining suitable people to go into and stay with the teaching profession. Of particular interest and satisfaction to this part of the country is the.recommendation that a normal school be established in Northern British Columbia. Prince Rupert would, doubtless, be the largest reservoir of pupils for such a school and, in view of its strategic location, it would, of course, be a natural location. It might be recalled that, during the election campaign, Premier Hart gave assurance that it would be the policy of his government, if returned to office, to put the report's recommendations into actual effect. The Railway's Interest . . . The visit to Prince Rupert so soon after his appointment of Brigadier Robert A. Wyman, new industrial commissioner of the Canadian National Railways for British Columbia, is an encouraging token of a new interest that the railway company appears to be taking in the possibility of developing its own port of Prince Rupert and the railway line serving the rich hinterland back of this city. The sooner the railway company and its officials realize that it is in the interests of the company and the country that this port and line be put on its feet permanently and act accordingly the happier Prince Rupert people will be. Rightly or wrongly, we have felt for a long time . i.1 i. Jl M that some of the railway people at'seen" least nave been prejudiced against Prince Rupert in favor of Vancou- his duties, he will be in ,a position to do much to steer interest in this direction to the mutual benefit of all concerned.

TRAVEL IS EASING UP WINNIPEG, Nov. 27 Indlca-tioas are that the people of Canada who have postponed vacation and other trips during the war period when railway facilities were taxed to the limit are about to realize some reward for their patience and understanding as there are definite signs of an easing In the transportation problem, Alls-talr Fraser, vice-president in charge of traffic, Canadian National Railways, said today. "Of course, there Is still a large volume of traffic and many more troops are to 'be returned home," said Mr. Fraser. "But, as the movement of service personnel has reached and passed its peak, it would seem reasonable to believe- that the thousands of people who refrained from travelling during the war In deference to government request will find conditions Improving steadily, even over the next few months. "Everywhere I went in the course of my trip throughout western Canada, people asked me when they will be able to travel again and It is a natural question because on this continent today there is the largest reservoir of tourist traffic ever Mr, Fraser said that people In western Canada are facing the future with a great deal of con- yer and have been governed in carry-: fidence and feel that 1946 win be uig uii tiieii vvui k. in sausiaciion OI a gooa year, dui aaaea, ine joq the prejudice wil1 not e finished until the Brigadier Wyman appears i to be'S genuinely imbued with a different peacetime footing." attitude.
