THE DAILY NEWS Thursday, May 10, 1945 COUNCIL GIVES 'PHONE GIRLS NIGHT RIDES Telephope operators of the city exchange are to contribute $1.50 a month each toward the cost of taxf service to take them home from work at midnight, city council decided last night after '.hearing a delegation from the electricians' union which protested the discontinuance by the City Council a month ago of transportation or telephone night operators. Until, a month ago, the city stood the cost of traasportlng the girl? home as a means of protecting them on the street U night. The service cost the ity $9G0 ayearund was ordered Jiscontlnued during discussion it estimates in March. A delegation of six members of the electricians' union, headed by William Reid, protested the danger to the girl operators leaving work at midnight, and threatened to "pull the girls off night shift," if the protection were not re-established. "Two-thirds of these girls are under 20. I don't think that any member of this council would allow their own daughters down town; that late at night. Two of thegirls have been molested slncfe transportation services was canflled. If it were not for two United States military police anything might have happened," Mr, Reid said. Council members agreed that there was danger on the streets at night. "I recall getting a wallop once, myself, Alderman Rud-derham declared. However, Alderman Hills expressed the belief that the girls should,make some contribution to the cost of protection. He said that the service would be more respected If those re-celvlnlfUts benefit were required to contribute toward It, "ItJsn't the amount they contribute but the fact that they makeasome contribution that is 1 w 9 IHere We Go "THE MEN'S SHOP " 'BUY VICTORY BONDS Philpptl, Eoiti & Co., Limited PORTRAIT Prince Rupert, B.C. Terrace V-EDay TERRACE, May 10 "V-E Day" was celebrated at Terrace in accordance with a program laid down some time ago by a committee of the Board of Trade. At 11 a.m. divine service was held in the ball park which is admirably suited for such a purpose, offering pleasant surroundings of wooded hill and distant mountains and plenty of room for everyone. A dats had been erected and bedecked with flags and bunting. Old Union Jack was side by side with the "Stars and Stripes. All local churches were represented and Mayor Haughland began proceedings by announcing the program of the day. Principal address was delivered by Rev. T. C. Colwell of the united Church, who castigated the present generation of the1 middle-aged for their failure to prevent the second world war. Rev. R. Hills, Anglican rector, conducted the service. Rev. O. B. Graham read from Holy Writ. Important," he asserted. When the matter was referred to the utilities committee for report, the apparent likelihood that decision would not be rendered until the next regular meeting of Council stirred the delegation's spokesman to threaten to have the njght shift taken off until the requested protection was received. "See that they get protection or they don't work at night!" Mr. Reid threatened. Later during last night's session the utilities committee discussed the matter and recommended to council that $1.50 a montn be charged each of the 20 telephone operators for the taxi service, the city to bear the balance of the cost. The girls work under a system of rotating shifts, so that all use the service. Liberally.., I , -4 "An Investment In Good Appearance" You'll agree when you see our range of Spring Topcoats.

HIGHWAY OPEN Editor, Dally News: You remurrjjer Labor Day-September 3, 1944 the opening of the Skeena Highway a beautiful day, a day on which all the residents of Prince Rupert, their friends, and visitors Jn the city had an opportunity to drive , up the Skeena River valley, through the most scenic epuntiy in the world to that beautiful health resort of Terrace and Lakelse Lake with its natural undeveloped hot springs. On this occasion we were told by government authority in the person of a Member cf Parliament, engineers, iurveyorfi, and by contractors that here was a highway that, after tlu? war would be a means'of dpentng up the north country, a mean of js!:de- or building a permanent heloing the ptople living In the flour and keening the surface Interior of British Columbia, a ,of the road in first clart comli-navural picture of mduntain . t,0' wuu!dbe a very small frac-scenery unsurpassed anywhere i t'on of the cost of the original in the world for tourists to gaze upon.

Dally News: It appears that the news item reported In the Dally News of May 5 wherein it was stated that I, as canvasser for the rig gcr's department in the Eighth I Victory Loan, had purchased up to its quota has been misun derstood. The impression apparently got abroad that I was purchasing these bonds for the rea son that other employees In the department were not purchaiing and I wish to make It clear that this was not SO; At the tnte I made the purchases, some of the employees had not yet been can-vussed and my only reason or intention was to have the rigging department with others to reach Its quota. I regret any other Impression was taken from the Item in question. J. W. DANEL1UK. Mr. and Mrs. K. LeRasa arc lmvlng tonight on ti trlp'tn Van - COUVer.
