While Prince Rupert seems to be able to make little progress beyond the preliminary dickering stage, Prince George is now going right ahead- with its National Housing Act sponsored building program. No less than $100,000 has been poured into Prince George since construction started, the Prince George Citizen newspaper informs us, and eighteen residences are under way with several more in course of preliminary approval. The paper says: "The fine modern homes range from $4500 to $7500, and are attracting the younger, settled families of the city, with the result that entire streets are blossoming forth with ardent young gardners intent on landscaping their grounds. "Construction of N.H.A. homes has now developed into a large enterprise within Prince George and has occasioned much favorable comment from citizens who have followed construction closely. "It is anticipated that as materials become more available, even better strides toward the newer type of ultra-modern home will be made. "All these homes ,have the latest in modern conveniences, including air conditioning, full forced air heating, the best of plumbing and modern architecture. "The N.H.A. plan, it is pointed out, makes it possible for the aver age man with moderate income Fo own his own home, thus making him a citizen who is vitally interested in the welfare of the city." It is something to wonder at that here in Prince Rupert we cannot also be doing like Prince George in this matter of home building. Surely, it cannot be lack of enthusiasm on the part of possible home builders themselves! On With the Show . . . We would like at this time to put in a good word and we think we are quite justified in doing so for the annual Civic Centre Carnival to be held shortly in Prince Rupert. The war situation is much happier than it was when last year we had our carnival and we can feel more conscientiously like celebrating. Also we can be assured that the day is not too far distant removed when we will be able to proceed with the actual fulfilment of our long civic centre dream. As we all know, it has been the series of successful annual carnivals that has been directly responsible for the building up of the already substantial fund which will make it possible to go ahead with the project just as soon as the post-war period makes it possible to do so. If the forthcoming carnival is nearly as successful as some of its predecessors we shall be well along towards the $100,000 mark which will really be something to do business with. The public will patronize the car-nival, there is no doubt about that. Possibly the worst need is for helpers in various preliminary phases and for the manning of the big show when it comes. There are many ways iiv which people can help along the actual work and, of course, everyone can get in now and boost the show and such features as the carnival queen and beauty contest.

CASEY REFLECTS Editor, Daily News, In view of the outcome of the civic by-election on July 12, It Is the purpose of this letter to point out to the electorate that they would be well advised to view with skepticism the direc tion indicated in the voting. Re membereternal vigliance is the price of freedom I In a previous letter I pointed out that an effort was being made and, I am sorry to say, with some success, to rob the Individual citizen of his individuality and make men and women mere cogs in a municipal machine designed to grind grist in the mill of the manipulator who always has an axe to grind. In the light of Thursday's vot ing it would appear that 23 percent of the voters already real ize this fact. That number must be increased by another 28 per cent within the next six months in order to redeem municipal power to Its rightful owners the people who believe one man as good as another and no particular class as a monopoly on honesty, virtue or wisdom.

Pufeet Sound Port "You can't get out of a restaurant after any kind of a meal, and a mighty slim one at that, for less than $1.50." reports Fred Hardy, well known local business man. who return ed to the city at the week-end from a visit In Seattle. "You might get a piece of meat about the size of a postage stamp ana you do not get butter with any mear Wages are very high in Seattle, Mr. Hardy reports. School boys get as much 'as $1.50 an hour for holiday work. However, they have real inflation down there and big wages do not mean a-thlng as living costs are so high. "We can certainly be thankful that we have kept control In Canada," he says. Everywhere one turns in Seattle, and the same is said for the rest of the States, exception Is taken to the fact that, meat is practically unobtainable there while It has been plentiful in Canada. Mr. Hardy reports that his father, George Hardy, who lived here in the early days and was employed at the City Hall and later at the Prince Rupert General Hospital, is still well and keen despite his ninety years. He still takes a great Interest In sports and never misses listening to games and fights. Mi.
