r i 4 1'; 1 I? ft I'- The Daily News . . . Dally Edition: Friday, January 12, 1945 Another Welcome Speech . The minister of education, Hon. H. G. T. Perry, told us in his radio address, on Wednesday evening of a great many good works the coalition government of British Columbia has done along the lines of extending and improving the standard of education in British Columbia. He revealed a number of facts that the public was probably not generally aware of and which it was well thev should know. The speech of the minister of education, as have those of other members of the government who .have been similarly heard, disclosed that, while assisting generally in the war effort, the government of British Columbia has been capably looking after affairs at home, keeping the province abreast of the times and making it a part of the country worth living in and worthy of the men who are fighting and working for it. It was also interesting to hear Mr. Perry speak, if briefly, of his equally important work first as chairman of the Council on Post-War Rehabilitation and. now as chairman of the cabinet committee on the same subject in which, as is known, British Columbia has been showing the way of all provinces of the Dominion. As wo have said before, such speeches as these are timely and the public is entitled to hear what is going on even if the Victoria government may not be boasting as much as it might do of the good work it is doing. Baltic of Philippines . . . Great battles are in progress on the western and eastern fronts of Europe but of equal importance in the global war is the new American invasion of the Philippines which commenced a few days ago and, so far, is making such favorable headway. There is no reason to suppose that ,the Americans are going to be able to ''walk right back to Manila without some hard and bloody fighting. In fact, we would be foolish to even hope that Luzon will be regained without meeting some stiff resistance and fighting some heavy battles. It is - much too important for the Japanese to relinquish it that easily. Indeed, they have been there three years now and ( should be in a position to put up a long - and hard battle even should their lines of supply be cut off or curtailed. Of course, with the growing Allied UNIVERSAL WEEK OF PRAYER (Meeting under Auspices of Prince Rupert Ministerial Association). power in the Pacific, the final outcome cannot be doubted. Meanwhile, Luzon Island, the largest and most important of the Philippines, is a key of the utmost importance to the whole Orient and Far East for it is the base from which great new blows can be struck at all Japanese territory including the Homeland and presently occupied other areas. Holding Bach the Recession . . . There is uncertainty as to what the immediate future may hold in store as far as activity at the local dry dock is concerned. It is known that the two 10,000-ton freighters at present under construction there constitute the last of the major work which is now in sight although hope is held that the yard will be kept active. It is, of course, inconceivable that such a plant should become completely inactive at a time like this. If shipbuilding becomes quiet, it is quite reasonable to assume that some other useful work mieht be found for it. Meantime, it is a matter that local citizens are keenly interested in and the Prince Rupert Chamber of Commerce and city council are quite justified in keeping closely in touch with the situation in order to give every assistance they can in promoting and insuring the continuation of activity at the plant which for several years now has been the city's principal industrial payroll. There is also said to be the possibility of a falling off of some of the wartime shipping which has been flowing through here in such considerable quantity since the war with Japan began. With the great new terminal facilities which have been provided here for the use of the port during the war emergency, it is to be reasonably anticipated that, vvhen conditions return to normal, Prince Rupert shall play an important part in Pacific trade and shipping. What is to happen in the meantime is the question. The war boom is definitely receding here and it well behooves us to be plan ning and working for time when activities m and carried out along more per Friday, January 12 First United Church, St. Peter's Anglican Church, Seal Cove, commencing at 8 p.m. All Christian people invited to participate in this meeting for prayer and meditation. ent and orderly lines. Of course, .we may expect a sa? munity, there may be something we can do to prevent the recession from becoming too great. NOW WHAT GOOD IS A DOLLAR?

But are we forgetting about the protection of the citizens who live here?- Are we to be caught napping If an air raid should strike here? It Is not impossible with such super aircraft the enemy now possess. How about getting busy on three air raid shelters. One at each end of the city and one In the centre before all the rock-drilling machines are shipped but and manpower gone. If they started on the air raid shelters now they could probably work 1 day shift Instead of nightshirts like most of the war projects. If present conditions don't change we can look for a war about every 20 years. DAVID H. LEITlt. CONTINUING DRV DOCK Editor, n.lllV NpWS! the continuance of the local shipyard as a permanent Industry in the community Is timely and necessary. Their Intention to solicit the support of other bodies to this end should meet with the approval of everyone, more especially the trade union movement whose member ship and their families are so vitally concerned. The Chamber of Commerce's "dissatisfaction" with C.N. president's reply to their enquiries and suggestions accurately describes the feeling that permeates the workers in the local yard. Some departments wjll soon finish their tasks for the ship now under construction. After unlimited work the workers attitude to the present Uncertainty Is understandable. An official of the C.N.R. has been here to present a cup won by the Dry Dock in the Seventh Victory loan drive. It is to be hoped that it will be of Commerce and others with an opportunity to seek a.person- lations permltl can be gone Into. The C.N.R. plays an import ant role in this area. Their support together with all other bodies is essential to the area's prosperity. The problems! of the post-war period will be Aumer-oii!J, some very trying. We j should meet, and, overcome those we can as we near that t (period. Our prosperity will be ennancea oy tne enort. Thanking you Mr, Editor for Makinsr a SDeclal run from 1 space.
