Backed

Quality
Tradition
For
more
than
three
generation
the
Stetson
MEMBER
A.B.C.
The
Late
"Tom"
Johnson
.
.
.
Thomas
Holmes
Johnson,
whose
death
at
Qualicum
Beach,
Vancouver
Island,
was
recorded
Saturday
was
general
manager
of
the
Canadian
Fish
and
Cold
Storage
Co.
for
twenty-two
years
and,
as
such,
head
of
Prince
Rupert's
largest
and
certainly
this
port's
most
permanent
and
successful
industry.
There
were
few,
if
any,
Prince
Rupert
people
who
did
not
know
him
and
many
were
personally
associated
with
him
in
one
way
or
another.
In
business
matters
he
was
all
business.
Outside
of
it,
he
was
a
kindly
host,
a
staunch
friend
and
a
good,
public-spirited
citizen.
Described
once
by
an
autobiog-rapher
as
"a
died-in-the-wool
fish-man,"
he
inherited
a
strong
strain
of
the
shrewdness
and
hard-headed
commonsense
for
which
the
York-shireman
is
famed
but
it
could
be
said
that
was
ready
to
change
his
opinions
if
the
other
fellow
could
prove
his
contentions.
He
was
careful
and
deliberate
in
making
decisions
and
could
not
be
stampeded
into
hasty
action.
It
was
said
Tom
Johnson
never
made
a
move
before
he
had
reviewed
all
phases
of
a
problemall
of
which
are
desirable
qualities
in
one
who
is
handling
big
business.
Even
in
trying
situations,
he
kept
cool
and
would
inject
a
humourous
observation
into
his
most
serious
declarations
a
trait
which
dissipated
resentment
among
those
opposed
to
his
stand.
"Tom"
Johnson's
passing
is
personally
regretted
by
old
friends
who
are
still
numerous
in
Prince
Rupert.
trade
mark
has
been
the
Hall-Mark
of
quality
among
men
who
appreciate
quality
at
its
best.
The
same
traditional
value
that
has
made
the
name
STETSON
world-famous,
takes
on
an
added
significance
today,
when
lasting
satisfaction
has
an
important
bearing
on
every
purchase.

Prison
Camps
Across
France
There
followed
a
series
of
prison
camps
across
France
and
Luxembourg,
ending
In
a
camp
near
Leipzig.
In
transit
they
were
carried
In
boxcars
marked
"Eight
Horses
Forty
Men,"
but
the
Germans
packed
45
men
Into
the
car.
"While
travelling
by
train
we
were
attacked
several
times
hv
Allied
aircraft.
The
train
would
stop
and
the
guards
would
run
for
cover
but
we
had
tn
sfc.iv
anH
sweat
it
out,"
Pte.
Sandhals
said.
At
Leipzig
he
was
one
of
a
group
of
120,
mostly
Englishmen,
detailed
to
tld.v
ud
the
debris
nf
the
heavily
bombed
city.
The
city
was
undergoing
heavy
bombings
at
the
time
and
Pte.
Sandhals
admits
that
he
was
pretty
lucky.
"Once,
while
-we
were
in
the
city
working
the
bombers
wrecked
our
camp,
and
then
a
short
time
later
while
we
were
at
the
camp,
they
smashed
the
place,
where
we
had
been
working."
The
Germans
seemed
to
realize
that
the
war
was
just
about
over
for
them
and
treat-
ed
the
prisoners
fairly
decently,
he
'recalled.
However,
the
food
was
none
too
good
and
he
lost
considerable
weight
which
he
has
since
regained.
We
got
Red
Cross
parcels
at
first
but
later
they
didn't
come
through.
The
Germans
said
that
lack
of
transportation
was
the
cause,"
Pte.
Sandhals
said.
As
the
American
Ninth
Army
a&vanced
toward
Leipzig
the
Germans
marched
their
prisoners
eastward
until
they
began
to
get
close
to
the
westward-moving
Russians.
They
hiked
along
the
roads,
sleeping
in
barns
at
night,
the
guards
growing
increasingly
Indifferent.
"They
marched
us
east
for
about
a
week,
then
they
were
so
close
to
the
Russians
they
didn't
know
what
to
do.,
Finally
-we
could
hear
the
American
guns
and
we
just
packed
up
and
headed
for
them."
Pte.
Sandhals,
who
returned
home
two
weeks
aso
and
Is
now
spending
leave
with
his
parents
.at
Dodge
Cove,
Digby
Island,
will
go
to
Vancouver
in
a
couple
of
weeks
to
receive
his
discharge
from

"Then
I

I'll

at

Prince

Dry
Dock
and
Shipyard
under

contracts,
passed
her
trials
with
flying
colors
on
Saturday.
The
new
vessel,
ghost-grey
from
waterline
to
masthead,
came
through
her
excruciating
sessions
sessions
of
tests
to
win
the
approval
of
technical
men
for
whom
perfection
was
the
lowest
standard
of
acceptance.
The
tests
were
conducted
off
Triple
Islands
In
Chatham
Sound
In
seas
which
tossed
fishing
boats
like
cockles
but
which
had
little
effect
on
the
trim
of
the
giant
cargo
carrier.
Aboard
her
during
the
trials
were
officials

owners,

two
eastern

companies,

and

Halibut
landings
at
Prince
Rupert
since
the
opening
of
the
season
on
May
1
are
crowding
the
10,000
pound
mark.
Arrival
of
533.000

last
week
has
brought
the

total
to
937,000

this

Is
6,889,-500

while

have
arrived

Fishing
executives
in
Ketchikan
estimate
that
the
Alaska
city
lost
at
least
100,030
pounds
of
halibut
last
week
due
to
a
shortage
of
fish
boxes
and
meat
which
caused
halibut
vessels
to
use
otfler
ports
to
land
their
fish
and
take
on
supplies.
Shortages
of
labor
In

Is
largely
responsible
for
the
lack
of
fish
boxes
while
lack
of
shipping
space,
couoled
with
a
shortage
of
meat
in
Seattle,
is
credited
with
causing

famine.

The

Is
from

in

to

apparently
face
a

unparalleled

averaging
up

continued
through
last

and
were
about

Already
there
Is
a
fairly
substantial
appearance
of
pinks,
some

catching
as
many
as

LETTERBOX
COUNCIL
AND
WAGES
Editor,
Daily
News:
After
reading
with
interest
the
mayor's
review
of
prevailing
condition
of
park
grounds
and
ceme
tery
and
his
excuse
that
necessary
labor
is
not
available
to
keep
things
In
a
reasonably
decent
condlUon,
I
am
forced
lo
point
out
to
His
Worship
that,
as
long
as
the
city
council
persists
in
maintaining
a
wage
scale
in
Its
public
works
department
18
per-cent
"below
trie
prevailing
rate
in
the
city
and
district,
there
never
will
be
labor
available
for
city
work.
Throughout
the
history
of
city
councils
In
Prince
Rupert
the
basic
rate
paid
to
common
labor
was
as
a
result
20
percent
hlghel
than
any
other
employing
concerns
of
the
city.
It
remained
for
a
so-called
labor
council
to
depress
the
scale
18
per
cent
below
the
normal
level
on
other
jobs.
O
Labor.
Like
Liberty,
many
sins
are
