While all the world pays tribute to Winston Churchill in his passing from public life we cannot believe that, as long as he lives, he will not be a figure and a power. It is possibly one of the weak points of the present system of party government that good men such as he are lost for the time from the administration of affairs while a party goes into eclipse. Mr. Churchill has come to symbolize a certain ideal of British qualities. He is also a man of great capacity and influence. There seems something unacceptable about the situation that he should pass from the-administration not only of national but international affairs at a critical time like this. Our Deplorable Streets . . . In our recent concern over the new Prince Rupert Highway and how and when it is going to be looked after, we have, perhaps, been overlooking the immediate and direct problem of our own city streets and the deplorable condition in which they continue with pitifully little being done. We do not know whether ;the authorities are very much concerned about these streets if they are they are not manifesting much concern but we do know that nothing much is being accomplished. The season when such work could be effectively carried on is fast slipping away and, before we know it, another fall and winter will be upon us. We have been worrying about what another winter will do to the Prince Rupert Highway. We might more appropriately think about what another winter will do to the wrecks of thoroughfares right in the heart of PURE WOOL KERSEY COATS and JACKETS Quality Repairs at Economy Prices Prince Rupert which wc C compliment with the name of streets. To say the people are getting impatient about it is putting the thing mildly. The wonder is that they have tolerated it as long as they have. The city streets are primarily a civic responsibility and the present authorities seem quite impotent as far as doing anything themselves or getting anybody to do anything is concerned. If they are getting anywhere it is high time, in the interests of our purses, our comfort and our community pride, that we were told about it without further delay. If nothing is to be done we ought to know the reason why. It is inconc(iv-able that we should have to tolerate :an instant longer the present lamentable and rapidly deteriorating condition as far as these streets are concerned. Help the World-and Ourselves The French ambassador to Canada says that France wilj.be in the market for "everything" that Canada can produce and pulpwood is one of the commodities that is specifically mentioned. The mention of pulpwood, of course, makes Prince Rupert prick up its ears and think of the possibilities for, if there is anything we do have in plenty hereabouts, it is pulpwood. We could send pulpwood but preferably we would like to send products more finished than the wood, namely the pulp and the paper. What goes for France also, no doubt, may go for other countries of Europe and the rest of the world. We do well to remember that it will be the mass development of our wealth of natural resources which will bring us the permanent prosperity which is necessary to this port and district and which has long been its due. With war's end nearing. and a great reconstruction period at hand, there is increasing demonstration of our local possibilities in the work of supplying many parts of the world with goods which they need and the production of which would be of benefit and profit to use. Made of a light-weight, pure wool material, Kersey Cloth garments are ideal for fishing or hunting and extremely practical as a working garment.

Waterfront Whiffs Halibut ftootlegjjing Charges Are Heard Progress of Work On New Fishermen's Floats Charges that' Canadian and American beam trawlers are "bootlegging" halibut they catch in their flatfish dredges will be made to the International Halibut Fisheries this fall, the Daily News has been advised by small halibut boat operators. Operating in Area Two, which is now forbidden to naiiDut rishermen, some beam trawlers keep the halibut which is caught incidentally to their flatfish operations and, instead of returning It to the sea, they transfer it to dogfish boats which maiket It for them. Beam trawlers, their decks piled high with halibut, have been seen by halibut fishermen In the Horseshoe grounds of Cape St. James, Bert Hanson, skipper of the P. Dor-reen, says. He himself has seen a trawler loading halibut onto a dogfish boat which was moored alongside. "I saw It through the binoculais, so my testlmonv would not stand up In court," Mr. Hanson declared. "However one halibut skipper has seen It close up and when he returns from his present fishing trip he will be asked to sign an affidavit stating what he saw." Mr. Hanson said that as his boat approached the two boats which were moored together, the larger boat swung abeam, keeping the dogfish boat out of sight. "When we neared them they separated," he said. Dogfish boats, which are entitled to sell the halibut which they catch Incidental to the riog- rish sell the halibut as part of their own catch, Mr. Hanson said. "I have heard dogfish men say that they receive 10 cents a pound while the beam trawlers receive the remaining 84 or CV2 cents," he declared. Except for the decking, build ing of the two approaches at the extreme ends of the- new fishermen's float below Falrvlew at the extreme west end of the city has been about completed. The gangways will go In later. Meantime, with the arrival of lags, work of building the first of the floats has Just commenced. The approach at the east end will be 135 feet long, that at the west end 240 feet. A visit to the Job by a Dally News reporter yesterday afternoon gave an Idea of the substantial nature of J.he construction of the floats. All floats will be between creosoted mooring plies. The floats are to be 15 feet In width, founded on heavy logs five abreast bound by chains. Next comes 8x4 Inch caps, then 6x0 Inch stringers and finally decking of 2 x 12 Inch planking. Fronted and protected by a Ions breakwater of 10 80-foot sections, there are actually two groups of floats one to the west of the new Prince Rupert Fishermen's Co-operative plant and the other to the east. The western group consists of two 140-foot floats paralleling the shore and four lengthwise out toward the breakwater 3,180 feet In length. The eastern group will consist of two paralleling floats and two projecting 190 feet In length. The approaches are eight feet In width.
