A
Word

Priorities

Servicemen...
UMBER
The
Navy
and
Prince
Rupert
If
Prince
Rupert
was
a
base
of
such
vital
importance
in
war,
it
seems
almost
inconceivable
that
it
should
be
abandoned
in
the
permanent
scheme
of
things
for
naval
defence
of
these
coasts.
The
official
announcement
of
the
almost
immediate
closing
out
of
H.M.
C.S.
Chatham
comes
as
a
surprise
indeed
for
it
had
been
the
general
and
seemingly
reasonable
expectation
that
a
permanent
naval
establishment
would
be
maintained
at
this
highly
strategic
point.
From
present
appearances
it
would
seem
the
authorities
are
going
hog-wild
in
the
matter
of
sudden
disarmament.
Even
from
internal
economic
standpoint,
it
might
have
seemed
advisable
to
have
had
a
more
gradual
process.
Years
before
the
war
in
Europe
began,
before
there
was
any
serious
thought
that
we
might
face
grave
danger
from
an
enemy
such
as
we
did
in
1942,
the
advisability
of
establishing
a
naval
base
at
Prince
Rupert
had
been
advocated.
;
Now
the
base
and
facilities
are
already
here,
it
is
incredible
that
there
should
be
a
complete
closing
do'wn
such
as
appears
imminent.
We
had
certainly
not
expected
that
this
would
be
one
of
the
sequels
of
war's
end.
It
is
obvious
that
we
have
sound
ground
for
making
representations
to.'the
effect
that
Prince
Rupert,
possibly
above
all
other
ports
on
the
Canadian
Pacific
coast,
should
be
the
site
of
a
permanent
naval
establishment.

THE
MEN'S
SHOP
ed
by
T.
D.
Pattullo,
former
Premier
and
Prince
Rupert's
member,
Municipal
Affairs
Minister
Herbert
An-scomb,
speaking
at
a
banquet
at
the
annual
convention
of
the
Union
of
British
Columbia
Municipalities,
said
that
the
provincial
government
is
not
in
any
position
to
give
up
her
right
to
income
taxes
"for
any
consideration."
Mr.
Anscomb
said
the
provincial
government
is
not
in
a
position
to
continue
without
getting
back
the
right
to
collect
the
bulk
of
taxes
levied
in
the
province.
He
contended
that
last
year
the
Dominion
government
took
$146,000,000
out
of
British
Columbia
in
taxes
and
"all
we
got
back
was
$12,000,000.
I
say
that
now
we
need
a
greater
part'
of
these
taxes
if
we
are
going
to
develop
our
resources
and
give
our
people
a
better
standard
of
living."
All
of
which
is
indeed
remindful
of
the
Pattullo
preachings
ever
since
the
abortive
Sirois
report
conference.
Beware
of
Rackets
.
.
.
Racketeers
are
out
to
prey
on
returning
servicemen
and
the
danger
from
people
of
this
type
is
liable
to
increase
during
the
coming
months.
To
a
man
newly
returned
from
service
to
his
country
and
anxious
to
get
into
the
civilian
stream
as
soon
as
possible,
the
voice
of
these
racketeers
can
sound
very
sweet.
The
Depart,
ment
of
Veterans
Affairs,
on
the
alert
to
protect
the
interests
of
returning
men
and
women,
has
issued
a
warning
about
the
activities
of
these
racketeers.
The
government
may
be
on
its
toes
to
see
that
racketeers
are
squashed
...
but
it
is
also
up
to
the
veteran
and
the
citizenry
at
large
to
assist
in
the
work.
We
Shall
Miss
the
Boys
.
.
.
As
we
do
the
Americans,
we
shall
also
regret
to
see
our
own
boys
of
navy,
army
and
air
force
move
out
as
many
are
already
commencing
to
do.
We
had
become
very
used
to
them
and
it
is
only
now
that
they
are
leaving
that
we
realize
haw
close
they
had
come
to
us
in
our
daily
lives.
We
have
had
a
great
many
men
of
the
services
here
these
last
five
years
or
so.
They
might
have
been
at
times
rather
trying
to
us
but,
looking
back,
we
cannot
but
admit
that
they
were
all
a
pretty
good
lot
whom,
possibly,
we
did
not
fully
understand
and
appreciate
while
they
were
here.
Nevertheless,
we
shall
remember
them
all
fondly
and
although
they
may
soon
be
removed
from'
us
by
long
distances,
there
will
remain
the
memories
or
happy
associations
during
the
stirring
days
of
war.

Accompanied
by
Mrs.
Ydungs
and
their
son
Norton

Mr.
Youngs
also
visited
centres
in

"Our

is

some
of
the
gravel

In
the
Oka-nagan
district,"
he
said.
"It'
is
better
engineered
and
has
a
smoother
surface."
The
highway
between
Pentic-ton
and
Princeton
is
particularly
rough,
Mr.
Youngs
commented
and
the
stretch
between
Princeton
and
Merrltt
is
narrow
and
winding.
"It
took
us
longer
to
drive
the
59
miles
from
Princeton
to
Mer-ritt
than
it
takes
an
ordinarily
careful
driver
to
go
from
Prince

he
said.

some

the

in

to

it.
Mr.
Youngs
did
not
think
that
there
was
any
immediate
opportunity
of
getting
a
hard
surface
on
the
Prince
Rupert
Highway
but
agreed
that
it
would
be
a
good
policy
to
press
for
a
blacktop
surface
between
Prince
Rupert
and
Terrace.
"There
would
have
to
be
considerable
work
done
to
protect
the
sides
of
certain
portions
of
it
from
erosion
but
a
blacktop
surface
to
Terrace
would
be
a
fine
thing
for
both
places,"
he
declared.
