Rupert's
post-war
outlook.
Opinions,
ranging
from
unqualified
optimism
to
reserved
speculation
that,
.without
government
help,
the
city
will
settle
back
into
lethargy,
were
expressed
by
those
interviewed,
while
some
closely
connected
the
progress
of
the
city
with
the
economic
opportunities
offered
to
returning
servicemen.
He-establishment
of
Veterans
Col.
S.
D.
Johnston,
proprietor
of
the
stock
brokerage
firm
of
S.
D.
Johnston
Company
Limited,
a
veteran
of
both
the
first
and
second
World
Wars,
is
keenly
interested
in
the
re-establishmerit
of
other
veterans.
A
large
part
of
the
success
that
can
be
expected
will
come
from
the
individual
efforts
of
businessmen
to
help
returning
veterans
get
on
their
economic
feet.
A
great
deal
can
be
accomplished
simply
by
somebody
taking
an
interest,"
he
says.
"The
future
of
the
city
depends
on
its
ability
to
provide
opportunity
for
young
men
to
make
a
living."
Mr.
Johnston
gave
as
illustration
the
case
of
Frank
Paiiett,
a
young
Prince
Rupert
man
who
came
out
of
the
army
after
five
years
service
as
an
officer
and
set
himself
up
in
a
radio
and
electric
repair
and
sales
business
on
Third
Avenue.
"Frank
saved
his
money
and
used
his
rehabilitation
credits
to
get
training
in
the
latest
developments
in
radio.
He
got
going
under
his
own
steam."
Fishing
and
,
New
Industries
t
'
A.
S.
Nickerson,
past
president
of
the
Rotary
Club
and
partner
in
the
firm
of
Watts
and
Nickerson,
sees
a
period
of
about
six
months
before
Prince
Rupert
feels
any
post-war
slump.
"I
don't
think
it
will
hit
us
suddenly,
hut
I
think
we
certainly
should
prepare
against
it.
The
building
up
of
the
fishing
industry
here
and
the
establishment
of
new
industries
will
be
the
keynote
of
the
postwar
development
of
this
city.
The
Cham:
ber
of
Commerce
is
continually
working
to
bring
new
industries
here.
I
don't
know
what
the
future
of
the
dry
dock
is
but
I
think
it
should
be
kept
in
operation."
In
the
fishing
industry,
Mr.
Nickerson
feels
that
a
fleet
of
larger
boats
capable
of
competing
with
Vancouver
and
American
boats
both
in
the
off-shore
grounds
and
remote
halibut
areas.
"Bank
loans
to
fishermen
for
the
construction
of
vessels
should
be
made
easy
so
that
money
will
be
readily
available
for
the
expansion
of
the
fleet.
I
think
returning
servicemen
who
have
had
experience
as
fishermen
should
be
given
every
opportunity
to
own
boats."
Reconstruction

W.
F.
Stone,
vice-president
of
the
Prince
Rupert
Chamber
of
Commerce
and
proprietor
of
a
men's
clothing
store,
thinks
that
the
danger
of
a
slump
is
immediate
and
that
plans
should
be
laid
to
offset
it.
"It's
staring
us
in
the
face,
so
we
shouldn't
allow
ourselves
to
be
paralyzed
by
worrying
about
the
cost
of
a
reconstruction
program.
