Dry Dock and Reconversion "Evidently, unless something entirely unforeseen develops, the immediate future of the Prince Rupert dry dock and its activity depends upon how soon the Canadian National Railways decides upon the matter of building new ships for service on this coast. Nr. Chevrier, the minister of transport, has announced in Parliament at Ottawa that no statement can yet be made regarding building the new Canadian National sIuds because plans have not been sufficiently advanced. All of which is quite disappointing asw.it had been thought that, in the interest of maintaining its service oiCthis coast which is now dependent on a single old ship, the company would have been rushing its phnis. As for the announcement that there will soon be considerable laying off of men at the yard, Prince Rupert is no worse off than other places on the coast as far as shipbuilding is concerned which, of course, is but empty comfort. The war industries are definitely folding up and how long, the period of slack will be following their collapse depends, upon the length of time it takes to tret reconverted to the peacetime industries which, eventually, lfiay be expected to be quite substantial. So it is a question now of getting the reconstruction and rehabilitation under way as rapidly as Id STETSON far STYLE!!

Anything that is allowed to disturb that process will only serve to make the changeover the more difficult. It is a time for united -and harmonious action with agreement and compromise on any extraneous considerations. If the serious problems and questions which are immediately at hand are approached in that spirit their satisfactory settlement will be the more expeditiously consummated. Archbishop of Canterbury . . . The late Most Reverend and Right Honorable Cosmo Gordon Lang held the distinction, unique in modern England, of having played a major role as a churchman in the abdication of one monarch and the crowning of another. He was credited with sharing with Stanley Baldwin, then prime minister, the leadership of forces which brought about the abdication of Edward VIII and he personally placed the crown upon the head of Edward's brother, George VI. Before the abdication crisis, none would have dreamed that the frail, prelate could raise the ghosts of the prince-bishops of the middle ages by mustering strength enough to blast, almost overnight, a king who had been Britain's prince charming for 25 years. He lashed out publicly at the former monarch in a scorching radio speech with scathing condemnation of Edward's gay friends as "a social circle whose standards and ways of life are alien to the best instincts and traditions of his people," and which included many American women wed to British titled personages. On the last Sunday of 1936, Dr. Lang again made the headlines with his post-abdication "recall to religion." "Let us look on all that has happened as a call to re-establishing the foundations of our national life," he said. His only allusion to the Duke of "Windsor was: "How often brilliant gifts fail to bear their fruit unless they have their roots in religious faith and moral principles !"'

CHAMBER Negotiations are under way to use the military post ofHce on Third Ave. as the studio for the Prince Rupert Junior Chamber of Commerce radio auction, a scheme designed to give the community a lot of fun and to raise money for charitable purposes as well. The auction broadcasts are wheduled to begin on December 17 and will be aired three times in the interval before Christmas. Hugo Kraupner, chairman, of the chamber's radio auction committee, told the monthly meeting held In the Commodore Cafe last night that, during the broadcasts, two of which would be of an hour's duration and the third an hour and a half, he had arranged to obtain half a dozen radio-equipped cars. These will pick up impromptu artists who had been chosen unbeknown to themselves by some well wishing friend to perform before the microphone. According to the rules of the auction, if the victim performs, his sponsor must pay the penalty but. II the victim, falls to do his stuff, he must forfeit the sum mentioned. T0 Keep Up Koad Drive . - The meeting authorized, the formation of a committee to draft a resolution supporting the Associated Boards of Trade in Its effort to have the Prince Rucert Highway thrown open to commercial traffic. President C. O. Ham will appoint the committee. The move followed the reading of correspondence by Associated Board secretary Duncan Kerr of Terrace, and letters by H. G. Archibald,. MP. A draft of a revisec constitu tion for the organization, sub mitted to the members, was tabl ed until the next meeting after a prolonged discussion which centred around the procedure of severing rhe Junior Chamber's subordinate connection, with the senior Chamber of Commerce. Considerable activity was forecast for the get-out-the-vote committee during the coming week by Its chairman, Tony Crawley. Guest speakers were Lt. Col. C. S. Von Auron, U. S. Army, who told of experiences during the Okinawa campaign, and Dr. J. M. Hershey,. provincial public health director, who spoke briefly on public health. 1WP-REC News - - ATTENDANCE In spite of the obvious obstacles impeding, the progress of local recrr.-ation, Rup-Rec figures are slowly approaching astronomical heights.
