by

dele
ft
at
the
Y
MCA
last
night
approved
plans
for
a
canvass
which
will
cover
every
home
In
the
city
for
contributions
to
sustain
the
community
recreation
project.
The
present
contributed
income
of
$375
a
month
is
not
sufficient
to
cover
more
than
the
Initial
modest
beginning
of
the
program
which
eventually
will
offer
attractive
Hesure-time
activity
to
everyone
in
the
city,
President
William
Noble
told,
the
meeting.
He
said;
"This
is
Community
Chest
week
all
over
the
continent.
Since
we
have
no
community
chest
we
are
calling
it
Youth
Week.
These
contributions
will
be
truly
an
Investment
in
Youth."
President
Noble
was
unanimously
elected
chairman
of
the
Youth
Week
financial
drive.
"Hie
magnitude
of
our
work
will
depend
on
the
money
and
effort
we
put
Into
it.
The
service
clubs
and
other
groups
have
contributed
but,
individually,
the
citizens
of
Prince
Rupert
have
not
been
touched,"
Mr,
Noble
continued.
"During
Youth
Week
the
citizens
will
be
asked
to
share
in
the
financial
cost
of
providing
a
recreation
program.
Our
objective
Is
total
coverage
of
the
city,
allowing
everyone
to
contribute."
For
the
purposes
of
the
canvass
the
city
has
been
divided
into
fourteen
districts.
Teams
of
canvassers
will
touch
every
home
In
their
alloted
areas.
In
addition,
cards
outlining
the
purpose
of
the
drive
will
be
mailed
to
householders.
In
outlining
the
work
already
accomplished
by
the
Recreation
Council
Maurice
Brydges
told
how
the
Council
had
taken
over
responsibility
for
equipping
and
supervising
the
city's
public
playgrounds.
"It
was
our
initial
step
which
we.
carried
out
pending
the
arrival
of
our
director,
Mr.
Mc-GreEor,"
Mr.
Brydges
declared,
A
great
need
at
present
is
a
gymnasium
where
gymnastic
and
floor
games
can
be
got
under
way,
Mr.
McGregor
said.
"We
are
holding
leaders
classes
one
night
a
week
at
the
"Y"
and
are
getting'
training
classes
started
at
the
Seal
Cove
and
Westvlcw
schools,"
Mr.
McGregor
declared.
"This
is
decldely
a
basketball
town,
and
I
hope
we
can
get
a
gymnasium
soon
where
a
basketball
schedule
can
be
got
under

Action
At
Portland
Resolutions
Designed
to
Help
Prince
Rupert
Shipping
Approved
The
Pacific
Northwest
Trade
Association,
at
its
recent
quarterly
convention
In
Portland,
acceded
to
a
request
of
the
Associated
Boards
of
Trade
of
Central
British
Columbia
that
the
Association's
transportation
committee
study
the
operation
of
the
Jones
Act
with
a
view
to
determining
the
propriety
and
desirability
of
working
for
modification
or
repeal
of
the
said
'Ant
so
that
fuller
use
may
be
made
of
the
port
of
Prince
Ru-
peit
in
connection
with
shipping
to
and
from
Alaska.
The
Jones
Act,
now
temporarily
suspended
but
to
be
put
into
effect
scon,
prevents
the
use
of
Canadian
vessels
In
carrying
of
American
traffic.
This
resolution
was
one
of
three
put
before
the
Northwest
Trade
Association
convention
by
F.
M.
Dockrill
of
Telkwa
who
went
to
attend
the
convention
on
behalf
of
the
Associated
Boards
of
Trade
of
Central
British
Columbia.
Mr.
Dockrill
was
successful
in
obtaining
considerable
valuable
publicity
for
this
district
as
a
result
of
attending
the
convention.
He
invited
the
Association
to
hold
a
convention
at
Prince
Rupert
when
conditions
permit.
The
other
two
resolutions
adopted
by
the
Portland
convention
were,
first,
that
a
petition
sent
to
Lloyd's
asking
for
a
review
as
to
weather
and
other
conditions
now
existent
with
a
view
to
modifying
the
zone
limit
of
the
international
load
line
from
53
to
56
degrees
north'
latitude
the
year
around
If
conditions
are
found
to
warrant
such
action,
and
second,
Vhat
endorse
the
desirability
of
having
lights
and
lighthouses
placed
In
Hecate
Straits
to
meet
underwriters'
requirements
for
cargoes
passing
through
these
waters.
Both
resolutions
are
designed
to
improve
'conditions
ifor
ocean
shipping
through
the
port
of
Prince

described
conditions

length
on
the
subject
of
the

Accordingly,
the

at
its
regular

meeting
last
night,
decided
to
nrnr.pprt
wllh
a
canvass
for
appropriation
from
local
Dusiness
interests
and
the
public
generally.
This
canvass
wilf
follow,
up
a
recent
appeal
by
correspondence
to
which
tnere
was
a
gratifying
measure
of.
but
not
full
response.
Arnold
Flaten,
the
chairman
of
the
finance
committee,
reported
that'so
far
i
there
had
been
pledges
of
$4,005
with
$2,310
in
cash.
The
objtctlve
Is
$15,000.
Among
the
projects
which
the
council
has
under
consideration
Is
the
establishment
of
a
'
permanent
central
publicity
and
information
bureau,
well
located
on
the
main
street.
Here
could
be
combined
the
offices
of
such
organizations
as
the
Chambers
of

Automobile
Association.
The
bureau
would
be
In

Another
suggestion
advanced
at

was
that
of

make
this
suggestion.

ported
on
a
recent
Interview
,
at

with
Hon.

C.
Carson.
minister
of

who
had
expressed
a
great
interest
in
the
north
and
the
ne
cessity
of
its
development.
Mr.
Carson
had
said
that
the
motto
now
should
be
not
"On

Young

but
"Go
North."
The
minister
announced
that,
not
only
was
his
department
getting
out
a
line
new
Dooioet
on
Prince

and
Central

but
contemplated
making

would
be
paid
to
Prince
Rupert.
Mr.
Carson
expected
to
visit
Prince

personally
early
next

suggested
the
desirability
of
developing
gardens
and
the
revival
of
the
Flower

as
a
means

The
suggestion
will
be
followed
up.

HARVESTING
ON
PRAIRIE
Better
Progress
Being
Made
In
Western
Prairies
Than
In
East
WINNIPEG,
Man.,
Sept.
21
The
past
week
showed
very
little
progress
with
harvesting
operations
in
Manitoba
and
Saskatchewan
due
to
heavy
rains
and
cold
weather.'
In
Alberta,
the
weather
has
been
cool
with
showers,
with
some
light
frosts
reported,
according
to
the
final
crop
report
of
the
Department
of
Agriculture
of
the
Canadian
National
Railways.
A
few
days
of
warm
dry
weather
would
help
considerably
in
harvesting
operations.
In
northern
Manitoba
most
of
the
crop
has
been
cut
but
very
little
threshing
has
been
done.
There
Is
no
change
Indicated
In
the
estimated
yield
but
there
may
be
some
deterioration
in
grades
if
the
wet
weather
continues.
In
southern
Saskatchewan,
cutting
Is
completed
in
most
districts.
Threshing
Is
general
and
with
fine
weather
should
be
completed
within
the
next
two
weeks.
Throughout
east
central
Saskatchewan,
rains
have
delayed
all
harvesting
perations.
Threshing
and
combining
is
30
percent
to
70
percent
completed
east
of
Saskatoon
and
up
to
05
percent
west
of
that
point.
The
total
yield
will
be
lower
than
usual.
Estimated
yields
In
southern
Alberta
vary
from
2
to
20
bushels
per
acre
of
wheat,
10
to
35
bushels
per
acre
of
oats
and
10
to
18
bushels
per
acre
of
barley.
In
central
and
northern
Alberta
cutting,
has
been
practically
completed
and
most
of
the
coarse
grains
up
to
90
percent
cut.
In
the
northern
section
of
the
Peace
River
territory,
threshing
is
from
80
to
95
percent
completed.
In
southern
districts
cutting
Is
practically
finished
an.d
threshing
operations
have
started
at
some
points.
Warm
dry
weather
would
be
beneficial.
Weather
has
been
much
cooler.
In
the
Okanagan
Valley
during
the,
past
week.
Harvesting
Is
progressing
favorably
and
loading
Is
now
reverting
from
Ice
cars
to
ventilated
cars.
The
tomato
crop
this
year
Is
considerably
lighter
than
last.
