of
the
Department
of
Agriculture
of

Canadian

All
crops
are
ripening
rapidly
in

A

help

to
fill
properly,
Rust

Is
evident
In

In

In

prospects
continue
poor

Hot

In

the
weather
has

Prospects

Harvesting

may
be
sent
to
Ottawa
in
connection
with
a
campaign
to
ensure
a
continuation
of
ship
construction
at
the
local
dry
dock.
The
immediate
proposal
is
that
Canadian
Natipnal
Steamships
should
use
its
own
local
yards
for
the
building
of
two
new
vessels
to
of
replace
the
steamers
Prince
Rupert
and
Prince
George.
Decision
to
send
the
delegation
was
the
principal
outcome
of
a
meeting
of
the
organization
on
continuation
of
shipbuilding
here
which
was
held
last
night
at
the
call
of
Mayor
H.
M.
Daggett.
The
mayor
was
In
the
chair
and
James
Nicol
acted
as
secretary.
The
attendance
consisted
almost
entirely
of
representatives
of
working
trades
at
the
dry
dock,
uptown

Interests
being
conspicuous
by
their
lack
of
rep
resentation.
Mayor
Daggett
reported
on
activities
of
the
committee
since
last
meeting.
There
had
been
interviews
with
the
dry
dock
manager,
Bernard
Allen,
and
superintendent
of
Canadian
Na
tional
Steamsraps,
G.
A.
McMillan,
but
little
satisfaction
was
forthcoming
as
to
the
future
of
the
yard.
Completion
of
two
China
coasters
was
all
the
new
work
that
remained
In
sight.
As
for
Russian

here,
a
letter
from
the
Soviet
embassy
at

said:
"At

Express
Surprise
"Rough
and
Harsh,"
Says
Letter
LONDON,
Aug.
24
(CP)
Tiime
Minister
Clement
Attlee
said
today
that
the
very
sudden
termination
of
lend-lease
"puts
us
in
a
very
serious
financial
position"
and
told
thc
House
of
Commons
that
the
British
government
had
hoped
lend-lease
would
not
have
ended
without
"consultation
and
prior
discussions."
Former
Prime
Minister
Winston
Churchill
said
he
could
not
believe
that
"this
was
the
last
word
of
the
United
States."

the

"would

NEW
LEADER
OF
LABOR-PROGS
TO
BE
NAMED
SOON
VANCOUVER,
Aug.

A
new
leader
of
the
Labor-Progressive
party
is
to
be
chosen
at
a
provincial
convention
here
in
mid-September,
party
officials
announced
Thursday.
The
new
leader
will
"replace
Fergus
McKean
who
was
expelled
by
the
party's
national
executive,
Seven
members
of
thc
East

branch
here
were
also
expelled
from
the
party
for
refusing
to
accept
the
national
executive's
decision.
of
the
city,
and
James
the
local
shipyard,.
said
M'
Nicol.
He
then
proceeded
to
set
forth
reasons
why
Canadian
Na
tlonal
Steamships
should
use
Its
own
local
yard
In
building
of
new
ships
to
replace
the
Prince
Ru
pert
and
Prince
George.
He
submitted
that
today
there
was
not
the
great
spread
In
cost
between
building
ships
in
Canada
and
in
the
Old
Country.
Further
it
was
to
the
national
Interest
to
save
profit
on
building
ships
in
Cana
da
and
thus
keep
a
Canadian
plant
running
rather
than
rot
ting.
There
was
the
complete
organization
for
the
building
of
ships
here
now
and
thjre
had
been
high
compliment
on
the
quality
of
the
vessels
that
had
been
built
at
the
yard
during
wartime.
Mr.
Nicol
made
the
suggestion
to
send
delegates
to
Ottawa.
By
personal
contact
a
definite
answer
"yes"
or
"no"
would
probably
be
received
as
to
the
future
use
of
the
yard.
Discussion
which
followed
centred
around
the
urgency
of
general
community
interest
and
activity
in
the
campaign
to
keep
the
local
shipyard
in
continuous
operation.
Further
speakers
included
J.
S.
Black.
G.
S.
Weatherley,
R
Hayter,
J.
A.
McRae.
There
was
a
vote
on
choice
of
delegates
following
the
dls
cusslon
to
send
a.
delegation.
Two
committees
were
named
.One
consisting
of
Mayor
Daggett,
R.
Hayter,
JS.

and
Jack
Haines

ierwlth
the

for

and
G.

for

to

estimated
at
$500
which
will

'on

Since

work
Is
considered
of
such

Importance
to
the
whole
community
it
is
expected
there
will
be
spontaneous
and
generous
response.

Capt.
T.
H.
Evans,
superintendent
of
the
naval
dock

here,
last

denied
a
report
that
three
naval
frigates,
brought
here

had
been

FIRE
HAZARD
EXISTS
HERE
Dry
Weather
Warning
Issued
By
District
Forester
A
warning
to
campers
and
others
who
may
light
fires
In
the
Prince
Rupert
area
was
Issued
today
by
District
Forester
J.
E,
Mathelson,
"This
Is
the
time
of
year
when
fires
are
most
likely
to
occur,"
said
Mr.
Mathelson.
"The
top,
layers
of
grass
arc
now
thoroughly
dried
out
and
a
blaze
can
start
even
If
the
grass
Is
damp
near
the
ground."
As
an
Instance
of
this
he
cited
the
fire
that
broke
out
last
May
at
Salt
Lakes
and
pointed
out
that
anyone
who
could
have
run
through
the
fire
there
would
have
got
his
feet
wet.
Although
not
many
blazes
of
this
nature
occur
usually,
the
hot
dry
weather
that
Prince
Rupert
has
been
having
lately
has
created
a
fire
hazard,
he
said,
adding
that
the
prevention
of
fires
was
entirely
up
to
the
population
because
conditions
like
lightning
did
not
have
to
be
contended
wlth.here.
