I.
M.
MacKinnon,

manager
of

at

told,
the
Prince
Rupert
Oyro
Club
in
speaking
at
the
club's-
weekly
luncheon
yesterday.
War
Assets
provides
for
no
disposal
of
war
surplus'
except
through
normal
trade
channels
although,
under
certain
circumstances,
there
may
be
special
sales
such
as
the
auctioning
of
broken
stocks
in
small
lots
that
cannot
be
handled
through
normal
channels.
No
dumping
is
permitted
or
anything
that
would
adversely
affect
the
Interests
of
employment
or
reconversion.
Rather
the
purpose
is
to
funnel
goods
to
the
markets
on
the
basis
of
making
up
the
difference
between
supply
and
demand.
As
far
as
War
Assets
present
activities
in
Prince
Rupert
were
concerned,
Mr.
MacKinnon
stat
ed
that
machinery
was
now.
being
set
up
to
action
as
speedily
as
possible
stocks
which
would
be
eventually
declared
surplus
and
,a.s
such,
turned
over
to
the
corporation.
Actually
no
stocks
had
yet
been
declared
surplus
although
the
United
State3
Army
was
now
assembling
and
concentrating
property
ana
goods
which
eventually
would
be
turned
over
to
War
Assets.
Mr.
MacKinnon
referred-to
an
interest
which
was
already
telng
shown
In
Prince
Rupert
in
acquiring
motor
vehicles
and
marine
craft.
In
that
connection,
it
was
to
be
remembered
that
the
point
of
disposal
was
wnere
me
goods
were
declared
surplus
by
the
services.
There
was
no
control
by
War
Assets
of
the
locality
In
which
vehicles
or
water
.i-i
ft.
hpcame
available.
"We
might
like

Forty
miles
below
the
southern
tip
of
Alaska,
and
as
far
into
the
Canadian
Northwest
as
a
rail
line
can
carry
you,
lies
the
young
and
kicking
port
of
Prince
Rupert,
British
Columbia.
Five
hundred
miles
closer
to
the
Orient
than
any
other
port
in
the
Western
Hemisphere,
it
has,
what
many
mariners
claim,
the
third
best
harbor
in
the
world,
the
other
two
being
Halifax,
Nova
Scotia,
and
Sydney,
Australia.
That's
Prince
Rupert,
a
name
hardly
known
throughout
the
United
States
and
Canada
until
quite
recently.
During
the
war
it
was
veiled
in
a
mist
of
secrecy
designed
to
keep
the
enemy
guessing.
Now
that
the
war
is
over
every.
Canadian
and
American
should
be
familiarized
with
this
springboard
to
the
Far
East
which
cut
many
miles
from
the
sea-roads
to
Tokyo,
and
played
an
important
role
in
winning
the
"Battle
of
Supply."
Scattered
over
Kaien
Island,
8
miles
long,
near
the
mouth
of
the
Skeena
River,
Prince
Rupert
has
been
a
far-flung
outpost
of
the
Northwest.
It
is
more
than
500
miles
north
of
Vancouver.
It
is
700
-lfole
"northwest
of
EdmoiitonH(rrosnhe
Rocky
Mountains.
There
are
no
other
cities
of
any
size
between.
Prince
Rupert,
with
a
normal
peacetime
population
of
6,000
inhabitants,
now
in
the
neighborhood
of
10,000,
is

"Serious
overloading"
of
electrical
circuits
at
Booth
Memorial
High
School
was
subject
of
an
Inspection
report
by
Electrical
Inspector
F.
M.
Kempton
read
at
the
School
Board
meeting
last
night.
Mr.
Kempton
condemned
the
practice
of
operating
power
Industrial
equipment
from
lighting
circuits
and
recommended
'the
installation
of
power
circuits
for
the
purpose.
Excessive
blowing
out
of
electrical
fuses,
reported
by
Schools
Secretary
Mrs.
M.
noper,
was
attributed
to
the
overload
carried
by
the
present
wiring.
Mr.
Kempton's
report
mentioned
a
case
of
"brldlng"
a
blown-out
fuse
and
stated
that,
unless
special
wiring
was
installed,
much
,of
the
industrial
equipment
would
have
to
be
withdrawn
from
use.
School
Board
moved
to
solicit
tenders
from
local
electrical
firms
to
rewire
the
school
along
the
lines
suggested
in
Mr.
Kemp-ton's
report.
A
program
of
beautiflcatlon
of
the
Booth
School
grounds
which
will
be
embarked
on
by
senior
students
of
the
high

was
commended
by
the
board.
The
program
will
entail
the
removal
of
tome
debris
and
levelling
the
ground
at

The

gave
somewhat
despairing
consideration
to

(CP)
The
situation
in
the
Ford
Motor
strike
at
Windsor
is
not.
too
bright.
Yesterday,
negotiations
in
which
the
government
.
was
attempting
to
get
labor
and
management
together,
broke
down
and
now
it
is
expected
the
government
will
be
required
to
force
a
settlement,
perhaps
through
compulsory
arbitration,
the
appointment
of
a
controller
to
take
over
the
Ford
plant,
or
the
imposition
on
both
company
and
union
of
settlement
terms.
There
has
been
no
official
statement
issued
as
yet
on
what
actually
has
developed.
Last
night,
George
Burt,
the
Canadian
director
of
the
United
Auto
Workers,
disclosed
that
the
union
had
offered
in
discussions
with
government
representatives
to
make
concessions
in
its
demands
on
the
22
points
tinder
dispute
in
the
contract
with
the
Ford
Company.
However,
he
said
he
understood
that
Ford
executives
would
not
grant
concessions
on
vital
points'.
Labor
Minister
Mitchell
and

General
Blackwell
were
reported
today
to
be
making
a
final
effort
to
negotiate
a
settlement
of
the
dispute.
It

that,
if
negotiations
