For a coalition nominating convention to be held in Ha7Pl. ton on September 19, delegates were appointed with instructions to support the Hon. E. T. Kenney. The delegates are George Dover, S. F. Campbell, W. Chapman, Mr. Squires, F. Fisher, J. Desjardins, Mrs. E. T. Brooks and Mrs. D. McMillan. Harry King, who presided, stated that those present had been called together for the purpose of forming committees composed of Liberals and Conservatives to work for' the coalition party In the coming provincial election. He called attention to similar proceedings being taken in Vancouver and touched on the highlights In the accomplishments achieved by the coalition government In the last four years. Some of these highlights were the bringing of electricity to rural areas such as Terrace, the provision being made at the Uni versity of B. C. to accommodate ex-service men and women, the loans now available to university "students which bear no interest for two years and can be repaid toy students in any manner convenient for them, the raising of salaries in connection with teachers and civil servants He stated that the government had made available to towns and villages in B. C. the A.R.P. equipment on hand for emergencies during the war. Through the efforts of the Hon. E. T. Kenney part of the area sur rounding Lakelse Lake, as well as other suitable parts of the province, has been set aside for a public park. The government has also budgeted for the build nKgrfriiTgM'a River country to Prince George; Mr. King made deference to a remark passed by the C.C.F. member, Mr. Archibald, to the effect that Terrace could expect to see the Skeena Highway abandoned. Things had looked that way and the local Board of Trade had appealed to Mr. Archibald in order that the highway be given attention. It had received none, so help has been sought from Hon. E. T. Kenney, who had asked a commission to investigate with the result that some machinery is now on hand for work along the highway. Mr: King, stated that Terrace was pteased to have Hon K. T. Kenney selectea lor the cabinet He paid tribute to his sterling qualities and stated that he felt it to be the duty of all those in the riding to support Mr. Kenney to the utmost. His remarks received hearty applause. Mr. Squires volunteered to toe the recording secretary of the meeting which was then thrown open for discussion. Mr. King called upon a number of those present to present their views or suggestions. Is All Out For Coalition George McAdams stated that he was all in favor of Liberals and Conservatives working together. He felt that coalition was now the word and felt that the parties should forget that they were separate units and work together. Mr. McAdams stated that there was now .good government and it would be a pity to change It. However, opponents were strong, active and virile. "We must toe as active as they are," he said. . . . w i r wAn ciose on me inn "j " .... ..... ..1 .l inr John W. Stewart Registrar of Voters, Stewart, B. C. ATLIN ELECTORAL DISTRICT.

Jap Balloon In Interior Prospectors Locate One Deep In Lakes District FRANCOIS LAKE, Sept. 13 Four miners, who have been prospecting for Lamont West of the Freeport Mining Co., re turned to Burns Lake Monday accompanied by Bill Merritt, well known geologist, and Vic Fulton of the Ivanhoe Hotel, and Frank McClary of Ootsa were other members of the party. All corroborated the story of finding a Jap balloon on the glacial field between the head af Tahtsa river and the Kemano Pass which leads out to Kltlmat Arm. The balloon was compo&d of a paper-like material as tough as buckskin and was about 49 feet in diameter. The lower portion had thawed down Into the snow covered ice and was not recovered as the prospectors were dubious about the advisability of picking around in the ice. The tracks of a big grizzly shewed that his curiosity had also been aroused. Sample of the material of which the balloon was composed was brought out. C. J. Norrington slated that, in his opinoin, the C.C.F. always put their' party above every other consideration. Now that the war was over, it was time to get organized and fight. Mr. iRoblnson spoke of the work being done by the committee on rural electrification in Terrace. Two units of the power plant had already toeen brought over the highway to Terrace. He stated that more property was being put aside for public use around Lakelse.

Mr. Robinson paid tribute to Mr. Sundal for his zeal in getting names on the voters' list. With a note of keen enthusiasm for the work ahead, the meeting was brought to a close. C. W. Mlchlel stated that he had enjoyed Mr. Kenney's political battles in the past and felt that Mr. Kenney was doing a very good job. He felt that it was necessary for all to get out and back him as Mr. Kenney was so busy with his duties in the cabinet that he will not be able to spend as much time as formerly In his own riding. An executive committee consisting of, the 'following members was appointed: George Dover, C. Mlchlel, George McAdams, S. F. Campbell, .C. J. Norrington, Mr. Chapman, Harry King, Mrs. D.
