Get&ng On the Voters' List . . . Tfie provincial electoral authorities are making special efforts to see that every one eligible to vote at the forthcoming provincial election wjll be duly qualified and on the list through proper registration. Certainly, adequate warning is being given through all media of dissemination. With the closing of the lists now but five days off, it would be well that every voter makes sure by checking up that he or she is registered. Generally speaking, persons' vyho voted at the last election will still be on the list of the same district in which they voted then unless for some reason they should have been in the meantime disqualified. There are many persons who are qualified to act as commissioners to receive the registration of voters including the registrar of voters at the Court House, 'mayor, aldermen, notaries public and specially appointed commissioners of whdm many have been named in the last few days. As a further convenience to applicants, a deputy registrar will be in attendance each afternoon arid evening between now arid September 17 in the hut on the( Post Office grounds to receive registrations. Any person who has the interest or the energy to go about getting on the list should be able to find ample facility for doing so; arid it is quite easy to make sure.: On Being Defeatist ... One of the feeble, excuses' offered to canvassers out to raise" funds among local business' people to defray the expenses" of the delegation being sent from here to Ottawa to make representations on behalf of Prince Rupert for reconversion and postwar employment; was that the A Word dbout Priorities to Servieemeii.i. We are "Ready for Action"' at' Watts & Nickerson's to give you the' best and speediest service that we know how. Three to four weeks'. Service on Special-Measure Orders with your Priority Certificate. ... A Word to Our Civilian Customers. The Armed Forces come first when: It comes to suits. We are endeavoring to fulfill a service to the eri tire community, but ask your forebearance If we are unable to supply you with your needs as and when you want 'em. THE MEN'S SHOP mission would be futile and had no hope of accomplishing anything any-, way. Unfortunately, that is typical of the defeatist attitude which is entertained by too many Prince Rupert people. It is the attitude which long has held this town back the apathy towards co-operating with those who are striving to accomplish something in the direction of recognition and accomplishment for the port. The answer to such an attitude, of course, is that those who seek nothing shall obtain exactly nothing. It is certain that, should We stand idly and silently by at this critical-time without taking every opportunity to make our case known, we shall certainly be left behind. The fact, if it is so, that every community in the country is sending similar delegations and making similar representations is all the more reason why we should be doing likewise. If the present delegation does nothing more than let Ottawa know that we are still on the map and still fighting, it will be worth the few dollars that local people have bee'n putting up to finance it. Maybe it will not be the last delegation which may have to be sent " East in the effort to obtain what are our just dues. Enough Daylight Saving . . . The sooner daylight saving time is removed, the happier the most of us will be, it seems. We have had it for some five years straight now and, even those who at one time were the most enthusiastic about, supporting it, now seem to have hau their fill. Daylight time, doubtless, served a good purpose during the war, largely through saving electricity by taking better advantage of daylight, Now, .however, the emergency is over. With the long nights approaching, we shall really be still saving our electricity and our eyes by getting a little more daylight in om morning work by setting the clocks' back an hour. If there is any objection to standard time being restored, we have yet to hear it. So. here is at least one popular decision that our government has made.

Local citizens should do all in their power to make conditions favorable to giving visitors a good Impression,- Mr. Kraupner says. Possibly wartime, conditions of congestion here may have had something to do wHh the adverse propaganda. The trip was a delightful one and Mr. kraupner found the road in excellent condition, par ticularly since Improvements have been made on the Prince Rupert Highway between here and Terrace. On the drive back stops were made at SIsco Lodge In the Fraser Canyon, Queshel and Burns Lake. About 1000 feet of colored moving picture was taken. Accompanying Mr. Kraupner were his wife and Miss Gilda Campagnola. LONDON, OWohn Watt, dir ector, .of variety programs for the BBC since 1937, has resigned. LOCAL DELEGATION (Continued from Page One) such traffic be credited to shipyard operation costs. "Wartime Housing, a Crown company, has a large local Investment in workers homes, having constructed five hundred cottages and nine staff houses for the accommodation of shipyard personnel. As a reduced operation of .this plant would mean a major decline in rental income' received by Wartime Housing, it is submitted that the longer a reasonable level of employment is maintained at the shipyard, the less will be the capital write-off on Wartime Housing assets. ."Had the local shipyard operated 'as a private corporation, it ii reasonable" to" assume' that a portion of profits earned on war contracts would have been used to improve the plant and convert to peace-time production. It Is requested that the government follow a similar course in an endeavour to safeguard its large Investment in the local plant and at the same time to assist the community during the post-war years; Re habilitation authorities are urging decentralization of indus try. It is not known if government policy is in agreement, but should the government favor decentralization, it is submitted that the continuance of ship j construction at the Prince Ru pert Dry Dock would be consistent with such a policy. "The. difference in costi. between, ship'buildingiin Canada and British yards is not now nearly as great as obtained before the war. In the interest of maintaining reasonable living standards for Canada's skilled workmen the Govern-"ment would be fully justified in absorbing whatever excess cost might be incurred through building these ships in our own yards. . , its-Mtt'' i MANCHOTJKUAN-SOVIET FRONTIER One of the few photos in existence of the Manr.houkuan-Sovlet border, showing the Soviet-Siberian border post of Matslefskaya.

"At the present time when the government is devoting considerable energy and expense toward the creation of1 employment .and the establishment of permanent prosperity and with efforts being made to assure employment for returning servicemen, lald-off war workers and others, It Is of vital Importance that the Prince Rupert Dry Dock and Shipyard, an existing indus- try, be maintained in operation.

Labor, Business, City And Vets Represented The delegation consists of Mayor H. M. Daggett, ex-Mayor W. M. Watts and James Nlcoll. It represents primarily the City of Prince Rupert, Canadian Legion, Prince Rupert Trades and Labor Council, Prince Rupert Labor Council and Prince Rupert Chamber of Commerce. In additional to the dry dock memorandum it will carry a brief seeking general post-war port development. Interviews are being arranged through Harry Archibald, M.P. for Skeena, with Hon. C. D.

Other Uses Than Shipbuilding i "We request further, that a complete survey be made of the Prince Rupert Dry Dock with a view' to making additional use of the plant for purposes other than steel shipbuilding. "It is essential that the Gov ernment make some statement of policy regarding the future Work program of. Its plant here. Otherwise, the best mechanics among the shipyard employees will seek work" elsewhere,, on the completion of present contracts. If some guarantee Is forthcoming, that all Canadian National Steamships construction andireJ pair work will be done at Princei Rupert, it will have the; effect of encouraging the plant's employees to make their permanent residence here. "Should ho extension of tship construction contracts' be granted the local shipyard, it Is fei'red that a chaotic condition will be created by the laying of f of large' numbers of men by the end of this present year as such workers naturally tend to move into over-crowded cities where similar industries are generally located. Needless to say, such a general exodus weuld have a most adverse effect on the city's economic welfare.
