Apathy Over Dry Dock . . . It does not speak very well for the public-spiritedness or concern of the business interests of this city over their own interests when they fail almost entirely as they did last night to be represented when the mayor calls a meeting of the group of representatives or organizations having to do with efforts to ensure a continuation of operations at the local dry dock. . Workers at the yard, who were represented, might be more directly and immediately affected by the steady continuation of shipyard operation but, if the plant should close down, it would certainly have an immediate reaction upon the prosperity of the uptown business people of Prince Rupert and the citizens generally. Good Highway News . . . It is satisfactory news that, with steps being, taken to transfer the Prince Rupert Highway to the provincial department of public works, something is being done about settling the matter of jurisdiction so that it becomes possible for much- A Word about Priorities to Servicemen...

THE MEN'S SHOP WANTED needed maintenance work to be carried on without further delay. Official announcement on the matter seems to be so far lacking but action that is already being taken by the province in getting the maintenance machinery in motion makes it appear that a settlement of the issue has been practically reached. In view of the rapidly deteriorating condition of the road, particularly on the. portion between Rainbow Lake Summit and Tyee, it is to be. hoped that there will be a minimum of delay in getting the necessary maintenance and repair work actually under way. P.G.E. and C.P.R. . . . Prince Rupert people may receive with mixed feelings the announcement that Premier John Hart has actively interested the Canadian Pacific Railway in the Pacific Great Eastern Railway with a view to disposal of the line. True enough any opening up of the Pacific Great Eastern to Prince George and northward might prove very beneficial to Vancouver. Nevertheless it could not hurt Prince Rupert. In any case, the public interest makes it desirable that, something should be done to put the P.G.E. on a sound economic basis through making it a line which leads from somewhere to somewhere else which, under existing conditions, it does not do. We here in Prince Rupert, at least, console ourselves that, as far as opening, up the north is concerned, the taking over of the P.G.E. by the C.P.R. might not be all we. may desire but, possibly, we may also consider that half a loaf is better than no bread at all.

First celebration of ft.s kind here after an Interval of four years, Telkwa people believe, that it will offer as manv attractions as in earlier years when it was famous throughout central B.C., aitnough many deplore the trend toward mechanical farming which has robbed the community of much of its opportunity for horse breeding. The bettine booth won't ept much of a play this, year be cause, as one resident put it, "there aren't enough race horses around here any more." However, the barhpoiip thp fine art of roasting whole beef carcasses undersround. litrhts nn anticipatory gleam in everyone's eyes, ana loving attention will be given the nit in whinh a young steer's carcass will be roasted in quarters, "Anyone who hasn't been fortunate enough to attend a barbecue hasn't experienced beef at 'its best," William Dockrill, local mine manager, asserted. "It's entirely different from beef cooked any other way." ' The meat, he said, is. put into a long pit in which a fire has been, burning for, at least 24 hours previously. The pit is then covered with plates or sheet iron to cover the. meat, then the hot ashes raked onto the Iron. The fire Is built up to bum lustily for several more hours until the meat is cooked. It will be served to hordes of hungry holiday makers at noon on Labor Day. A new feature of the celebration will be a barrel sween- stake, in which the nearest guess to the time It takes a barrel to drift from Houston to Telk-l wa will win a cash prize. of $looj With the Bulkley River at Its' lowest water level this year, es-' timates range from 12 to 20 hours. i The afternoon sports" program ' will include baseball games be-i tween Terrace and Hazelton and Telkwa and the Smithers Air Force.

Painted the rose that it may bloom And with its wild beauty dispel all gloom. Some day there will be "Heaven on Earth;" Men and women will give. It birth.
