Year 4 oo WZMBEB ABa Now That the War Is Over . . . fmm -The question is naturally uppermost in the minds of Prince Rupert people what is going to happen now that the war is over? There is, of course, no one so optimistic as to not expect that some sort of lag will Qcciir in a community which, at the , peak of its wartime prosperity, had in extremely busy population possibly quadruple of what it had ever fcnowiv in pre-war days. ' For their post-war prosperity Prince Rupert people pin their hopes on Che development of the virgin natural resources of northern and cen-fral British Columbia in an expanding, .and greater Canada and Pacific toast. : An awakening Orient may well Contribute to the "utilization of this north: coast port which was suddenly developed during war to play an important part in transportation of the sinews of war to Alaska, the far northern seas and the northern Orient. ; The fishing industry, after having been shoved around during the jvar, will again be a relatively important industrial consideration here and the resumption of mining should be another help. Before the" war Prince Rupert had no highway connection with the butside world as it has today. Its fcxistence may be counted upon to bring greater tourist traffic than ever before. The favorable publicity Prince Rupert received through the presence of thousands of American Forces here during the war will, tloubtless inspire greater tourist travel than ever here. ; Battered about by heavy war traffic, Prince Rupert's roads and public facilities are in need of ex- tensive post-war reconstruction and the civic authorities are already A Word about Priorities to Servicemen...

We are endeavoring to fulfill a service to the enUre community, but ask your forebearance If we are unable to supply you with your needs ; as and when you want 'em. THE MEN'S SHOP 4 racking their brains as to how this necessary work will be financed. They see no other solution than that of extensive federal assistance, particularly since the present situation was brought about through excessive use in national defence interests. The principal single wartime industry here has been shipbuilding and it has been announced that the shipyard here should keep operating on its present scale, with upwards of 1000 men employed, until January when the contract for China coasters will have been completed. Outward movement of American and Canadian forces, which has already started, will keep the railways and steamships busy for the next couple of months. By the end of the year, however, there is not much doubt but that Prince Rupert will be a good deal quieter town than it has been for four years or more. But later it is confidently expected that permanent benefits will be derived from the attention which was focussed on its strategic location and the development of its terminal factilities which occurred during wartime. The Late "Bob" Mcintosh . . . There was no better known, no more highly esteemed pioneer figure in Prince Rupert than the late Robert Leek Mcintosh who died at his home here Friday afternoon. As upright in character as he was in physique, none had more respecting friends than he and regret at his passing is widespread. Kindly and unostentatious, he had been full of good deeds and his memory will be fondly cherished by all who had the favor of having known him. Through his function as postmaster from 1906 for nearly thirty years and in other capacities, especially in the cultural and historical activities of the city, he played a useful part as a good citizen. In the cemetery on the sunny Kalum Hill near Terrace, they will lay him to rest on Tuesdav amid the clean and open surroundings which he knew and loved so well and with which, indeed, his own fine charac ter was so synonymous. lll'llTlf'illM,il!l'3PtViai'.llJll'M,MIIJ .

APPREHENSION IS DISCUSSED Optimism May be Difficult but Worry is Not Helpful, Declares Bishop Commenting on the apprehension of some people regarding the post-war period, 'Rt. Rev. J. B. Gibson, Bishop of Caledonia and rector of St. Andrew's Cathedral, urged the congregation during his sermon yesier. day morning to '"be not overanxious about tomorrow." Most of our anxieties rpntn around the physical food, cloth ing and shelter said Bishop Gibson which, In turn, is caused by excessive self-pity. Food, drink and clothes are necessary, but they should not be allowed to become the main Interest in living, he added. Although a man would have to be an optlmiS. to look forward to the next few years with optimism, he went on, God's promise of aid should be a tremendous factor in the future. The BlshoD deDicted worrv ns a vice of the mind and, although he conceded that at times it was difficult not to worry, he cited the case of St. Paul, who refused to worry even In the most trvlns situations. In conclusion, stated the. Rt. Rev. Gibson, "Why do you worry, why do you fret? Ood Is not done with this old world yet." PASTOR IS FAREWELLED Supper at St. Paul's for Rev. and Mrs. M. B. Anderson The congregation of St. Paul's Lutheran Church gathered at a farewell supper In the church parlors Sunday evening for Pastor and Mrs. Magnus Anderson who are leaving for the south this evening. I. Feness, on .behalf of the congregation, spoke words of appreciation for the work done and presented the pastor and his wife with a generous purse, wishing them good wishes and success In their new parish. The Chapel Choir presented Mrs. Anderson with a lovely glass tray embossed In silver together with a bottle of perfume. LETTERBOX WHAT IS THE ANSWER? Editor, Dally News: Having become accustomed to tne asinine and diabolical events of the past six years It seems strange that such a little Incid ent as the election of a C.C.F. candidate in Skeena should produce such a feeling of calamity. just wnat do you think the C.C.F. can do that would be worse than what our great statesmen of the past have done? I expect tne C.C.F. were Just as much surprised as others to find themselves elected. Now there are the incredible election results In Britain. It seems impossible that Britain could have gone batty the same as Skeena. However, there must 'be some reason for these things and I have an Idea that, instead of damning the C.C.F. etc., it might be a good idea to start looking about for the cause of such revolutionary haDoenlnes. Instead of throwing obstacles In the way of the new M, P. it might be a good Idea to co-oneratp and see if he can think un anv more stupid Ideas than have gone be fore. He certainly will have to go some to beat the record ta date. We can be thankful that he is not a great statesman like Bennett, Melghen and King. People say that now we have elected a C.C.F. In Skeena, we will not get anything. In other words the gang that we elected to work for us, will hold out on our money, and show us that they are our boss. Well If we get any less than we have had in the past.it will be rather difficult to point out where one left and the other began so why all the worry? At least be British, Blve the poor fellow a chance. pile happens to be the representa tive or Skeena, not the C.C.F. alone. At least we hope so. Let us take a look over the history of Canada and mark up all the great things accomplished by our heroic statesmen of the Dast. We do not expect a newcomer to compete with them, particularly a C.C.F. It will certalnlv tax his Ingenuity to think up any- ming new, or more startling, but the world progresses and he mav surprise us. There was that bl-llneual matter in Quebec. Have you kept track of what that has become? Figure It yourself, and see who the Zombies really are. Not the French. . - There was the C.P.R, (Unfortunately still Is). Do you remember the 20 years taxes they got j away with In addition to most of the best land lnthe West? Then we have the G.T.P., and the Canadian (Northern, and the P.G.E, not to mention the Hudson's Bay Company. We seem to recollect something about a Beauharnols deal and a Stevens Investigation. There was a Dairy Commission, a Co-op Commission, besides all those for which we paid, and for which we did not get a"ny report. We would appreciate being told lust what the doubling of gold prices really meant. Of course Inflation Is a terrible thine but deflation mteht be O.K. if It was the other fellow who was being deflated. We are still In a quandry about that People's Bank The Bank of Canada. We are still borrowing money and paying Interest. By paying the Interest we avoid In flation, you know. During the past 25 years we have been roped Into two great wars. However, we have succeeded In becominir n. erent wnr'd power now that we are In debt zo miuons, oesu-es wnat was tak en from us In taxes (voluntary, cf course) and those savlnes we hope to get back. At present we nave been send ing men, material and money to Europe lust as fast as shins could be built. The sreat Idea being that until everything of value Is shipped out of the country and given away, all same Santa Claus, that we are not doing our duty to the starving paupers of Europe. Canadians do not matter. They are big-hearted. We might suggest the possibility of our having war criminals, as well as peace criminals in Canada, and leave their punishment to someone else. Speaking about getting nothing for Skeena from a C.C.F. M. P. Just who is getting what. What are we getting or hope to get belongs to us and has been paid for many times over. Does Vancouver or the East think they are giving us anything. No doubt they have that screwy Idea, as they have been on the receiving end so long they think they have a Divine right to all the profits and the West and North can Just carry on with the potlatch end of the deal. I wonder why folks despise the four-lezsed swine and overlook the two- legged hogs. Yve better ston be ing suckers and get what Is coming to us. It may be too late to mend the past but we can at least hope there Is a way to salvaee the wreck. With the exhaustion .of our materials, and the Incredible debts of the country, it mav be a tough proposition, but our great statesmen seem to think It Rupert Men Land At Quebec Today Royal Canadian Air Force repatriates for this area disembarking from the steamer Samaria at Quebec City today Include: Leading Aircraftsman I.

Tne time was when they shed large tears about a mere 5J million they, could not pay. So here are a few constructive suggestions and we certainly hope that the C.C.F.. or some one. will do something about them. Otherwise the past will Just be continued into the future. You might try to recover our O, T. P. set-up Into Rupert. You might find out what Is wrong abdut the Skeena High way. Also, why the South gets all the Juice, while the North stavs without power, but pays their bills. If the Peace River outlet comes West, as It should, It would be something no one else could do. Then, we still have the Alaska Highway under, discussion. Please ascertain the exact situation in regard to those bonds sent here by Britain, and the C.PJt. In particular. Just who Is going to make a few millions at our expense? Do thev comprise enough to warrant the government taking over the CP. R? These cover the steamships and airways as well, we believe, and the government should get Into that game. The CP.R. should not be permitted to get all our war airports either. Then there Is '.he oil in the north and the millions of the people's money Invested. Does the Standard Oil get away with It all or do we Jn the North get some of our own. Instead of having to Import It? That Is one of thse things we are also "renins' awfully damned sick of seeing pulled oil. And people wonder why there are C.CF.'ers and kickers. Does Canada, by any chance, get any pay for all the stuff our statesmen are rushing to EuroDe Just as fast as they can get the tfiips to carry It? Or. are we Ju a nice big-hearted Santa Claus who will hold the sack, the same as alter the other war? For starving paupers, we cannot un derstand why they are so fussv and must have only the best grades of everything, while we Canadians take what few scraps are left.
