CHIEF
LOCK
WOULD
CO-ORDINATE
FIRE
FIGHTING
CONTROL
IN
CITY
Co-ordination
of
control
of
the
four
fire
departments
in
the
tity,
designed
to
facilitate
the
coverage
of
large
fires,
has
been
recommended
to
city
council's
utilities
committee
by
City
Fire
Chief
O.
T.
Lock
after
receiving
the
blessing
of
the
fire
departments
of
United
States
and
Canadian
armies
and
the
Canadian
Navy.
Chief
Lock's
recommendations
will
be
presented
to
city
council
tonight
and,
if
approved,
will
pave
the
way
for
a
system
of
fire
protection
similar
to
that
used
in
large
cities.
The
system
recommended
by
the
city
fire
chief,
and
to
which
American
authorities
wholeheartedly
subscribe,
would
connect
U.
S.
Army
fire
control
headquarters
to
the
present
city
fire
hall
line,
so
that
anyone
making
a
telephone
call
to
"50"
would
automatically
be
connected
with
both
the
city
and
the
American
fire
halls.
These
calls
would
be
passed
on
to
the
Canadian
Army
and
Navy.
The
city
fire
department
would
respond
to
all
city
fires,
with
the
three
service
fire
de
partments
acting
as
reserve
lines
of
defence.
"Up
to
the
present
time
we
have
had
'zones
of
co-operation'
in
which
the
city
would
be
assisted
by
fire
departments
of
different
military
services
in
different
parts
of
city,
or
by
all
the
departments
if
the
fire
was
great
enough
to
warrant
It,
but
there
has
never
been
a
central
control
station,"
Chief
Lock
said.
Under
the
zone"
agreement,
the
American
fire
department-would
be
the
first
to
help
city
firemen
at
a
fire
in
the
west
end
of
the
city
while
the
navy
co-operated
first
In
fires
in
the
central
part
of
town
and
the
Canadian
army
in
the
eastern
part.
If
the
new
system
is
approved,
the
telephone
number
"50"
would
be
used
exclusively
for
fire
calls,
and
would
be
received
by
both
the"
city
and
U.
S.
Army
fire
halls,
According

Fish
Average
catch

salmon
on

River
last

was

fish

with
the

boat
for
the
week
landing
1125
fish,
reports
from
the
river
state.
Indications
this
morning
were,
.that
.fishing,
will,
be
very
good
today.
Catches
on
the
Naas
River
are
reported
to
be
considerably
less
than
on
the
Skeena.
The
300
boats
on
the
Naas
averaged
45
fish,
per
boat'
on
Friday,
while
on
the
same
day,
Skeena
River
boats
averaged
90
fish.
Best
week's
catch
so
far
this
season
for
one
boat
has
been
1,711
fish.
Name
of
the
fisherman
was
not
revealed.
Lock,
the
U,
S.
Army
department
has
already
strung
connecting
lines
and
the
system
would
be
ready
to
operate
as
soon
as
further
connections
are
made
by
the
city.
"I
have
asked
the
Americans
to
allow
us
the
use
of
their
control
operator
a
24-hour
service
to
which
they
agreed
very
readily,"
Chief
Lock
continued.
"Thus,
while
the
city
department
would
be
the
first
to
answer
city
fire
calls,
the
American
fire
hall
would
be
the
central
office.
Through
them,
all
services
would
be
advised
of
what
is
happening
when
it
happens."
Chief
Lock
cited
an
Incident
on
Wednesday
which
caused
him
to
seek
better
co-ordination
of
fire
r
protection
services
in
the
city.
"While
we
were
fighting
a
fire
at
the
Canadian
officers'
mess
on
Sixth
Ave.
E.,
a
call
came
in
from
Water
St.,
in
the
western
end
of
the
city.
Mrs.
Lock
happened
to'
be
on
hand
and
passed
the
alarm
on
to
the
American
fire
department,
which
acted
Immediately.
It
made
me
realize
more
keenly
than
ever
the
need
for
service
which
would
automatically
supply
information
to
all
fire
departments."
Exclusive
use
of
the,
present
city
fire
hall
telephone'
number
for
fire
calls
would
involve
the
installation
of
another
telephone
I'here
for
ordinary
calls,
Chief
Lock
said.

Seeking
the
reaction
of
Prince
Rupert
over
the

airport
here,
a
Sudbury,
Ontario
organization
has
written
City
Clerk
H.
D.
Thain,
outlining
plans
for
de
velopment
on
series
of
"air
narks"
in
smaller
Canadian
cities.
"Our
Idea
is
to
start
each
air
port
on
1
a
reasonably
modest
basis,
and
extend
facilities
at
a
pace
consistent
with
air
transportation
and
personal
flying,"
the
letter
said.
"Our
airports
are
designed
to
serve
a
different
Durnose
than
the
big
airfields
which
are
chiefly
devoted
to
long
distance
heavy
commercial
flying.
"Just
where
all
our
airports
will
be
has
not
been
definitely
decided
and
we
would
appreciate
your
city's
interest
in
our
plan."
According
to
the
organization's
literature,
these
plans
call
for
a
country
club
at
the
edge
of
the
airfield,
accommodations
for
air
travellers,
dance
floor,
restaurant
and
tourist
cabins.
"These
and
other
facilities
would
make
the
airport
the
centre
of
activity
of
the
whole
district."
The
matter
will
be
presented
to

tonight.
MINISTER
RELAXING
Hon.
George
Pearson
in

Before
Going
to
Ottawa
For
Intergovernmental
Conference
Relaxing
for
the
week
from
his
arduous
duties
as
provincial
secretary
and
minister
of
labor,
Hon.
G.
S.
Pearson
was
in
Prince
Rupert
today
going
north
aboard
the
Princess
Norah
for
the
round
trip
to
Alaska
before
leaving
with
Premier
Hart
and
other
ministers
for
Ottawa
to
attend
the
intergovernmental
conference.
The
minister
made
it
clear
that
his
trip
was
entirely
in
the
way
of
a
much-needed
vacation
and
had
no
official
aspect
whatever.
In
an
informal
interview
with
the
Daily
iNews,
however,
he
indicated
keen
.interest
in
the
change
he
noticed
in
the
city
since
he
was
here
last
some
five
years
ago.
He
was
particularly
interested
in
knowing
how
the
housing
situation
was.
Asked
about
the
possibility
of
an.
early
election,
Mr.
Pearson
had
no
comment
to
make.
It
was
to
bo
assumed,
however,
that
there
would
be
an
election
this
fall
as
early
as
oossible.
Mr.
Pearson
will
be
here
again
on
Saturday
southbound.
The

said

In
dicates
that
military
as
well
as
post-war
political
and
s-ecurlty
questions
are
to
loom
large
on
the
agenda.
The
war
in
the
Far

and
Russia's
possible
participation
therein
may
be
dis
cussed
a
well,
of
coure,
of
the
problems
of

of

tries.
Churchill
and
Truman,
with
their
military

state
advisors,
today
awaited
momentarily
the
expected
arrival
of
