Per Month, 40c; Revive the Exhibition ALSING of Prince Rupert's historic Exhibition F ' building on Roosevelt Park Hill, which all but Ijlew down in Tuesday's gale and is now due for imnjediate demolition, brings to mind the many great fail's which we used to have in former dayg and which did much to establish and maintain Prince Rupert's contact with her agricultural hinterland. In those times our only communication witli the interior was by railway and the represen tation from there was limited although on some occasions quite substantial and. far-reaching at ibatj. Today we have the farriis and the farmers of mudh more readily accessible, enabling the people not jonly to ride in under their own power but to bring their exhibits along the point, we are here seriously suggesting the revival of the Prince Rupert Exhibition which could well be aimeeting place munity of our district and, as before, the venue for the Imposition of the varied and interesting natural rescjurees'and industries of this great district. It must be apparent how the resumption of such a show wjth the attention and publicity it would command, might well be a very effective step towards the development of the area. We talk of-what we (night do to. encourage the industrial development of these parts. Here would appear to be something very much within the range of our capacity. fortunately, even with the Exhibition Building gone, there is still the fine Roosevelt Park gym which would appear to be very readily adaptable to this! very use. It takes time, of course, to organize such a thing as a; fair and there should be no time lost, if we decide to go ahead, in getting started. s for ourselves, we think it would be of great mutual benefit to have something of this sort again. It would provide a meeting place for the instruction', edification and entertainment of the people of prince Rupert and the folks from all aroiind whose acquaintance, friendship arid understanding we would be doing is 9 A New Industry TO .-MOST of us, I which is so abum this area, may seen?

With these facts In mind, the ijritlsh Columbia Research Council, durng the summer of 196, surveyed a large part of thfc B.C. coast for seaweeds. Varieties of plants were noted, records were made ot locations and iquantitles, and Samples were Jtaken for analysis in the Research Council's chemical laboratory.

The -kelps form dense beds nearjthe shore where the sea currents are not too strong and the depth of water Is between six and, 00 feet. When harvtested,lhe plants are cut belo the, surface by various types! of cutters or mowers mounted on boats or barges. Algin, the. most Important Ingredient of the B.C. kelps, forms about 20 per cent of the dry tyeight of, the plant, an amount fully the equal of that in kelps collected commercially elsewhere.

The importance has been .stressed of these officials being imbued with that fine sense of courtesy which, "transmits aliens Into trusting friends." Arrogant and discourteous border officials can go far towards destroying goodwill. XJJS. customs and Immigration services are reinstltuting campaigns among the, officers stationed at international borders to raise the standards of courtesy. The Dominion government has also been asked to instruct all employees at ports of entry to exercise the utmost courtesy in discharge of their duUes. In these times when tourist revenue has become an important factor in international trade, governments are making certain that their visitors are received with maximum politness. In this case courtesy pays off not only in friendship and goodwill, but in hard cash. enlng and jelling of liquors; lor binding materials together; for dispersing the ingredients of pharmaceuticals, and in plastics for moulding. While algin is slightly more expensive than casein, starch or gelatin, smaller quantities are required.

Rare Greek Coins In Lucknow Museum LUCKNOW, tti A number of Oreek coins of great variety, dating back to the third century B.C., have recenUy been deciphered In the museum here. Most notable among these are ihe coins of Alexander the Great, who Invaded India about 327 B.C. It is believed that he had ,them struck in India during his eastern campaign. They bear on the obverse the head cl young Kerakles wearing a lion's skin, and on the reverse Zeus seated on a throne, holding an eagle and resting on the sceptre. Mostly of silver, these coins are of various denominations, such as tetradrachma, diadrachma, hemidrachma and obol. The last named, a tiny coin cf apparent Insignificance, Is associated with a strange Gr?ek belief, which attaches to it a vital Importance. The Greeks believed that Just as in crossing a river one had to pay n ferry tax, so also in leaving this world a tax had to be paid. This coin was put in the mouth cf 2 dying person in fulfilment of his last obligation. Ellen Wilkinson and pugnacious, DIMINUTIVE red-haired Ellen Wilkinson, minister of educaUon in the British Labor government, who died today, rose to a posiUon of command both in the Labor party where she became chairman and in Prime Minister Churchill's wartime coalition governmen t after 16 stormy years in Parliament and nearly twice that number as a labor organizer. In what she terms "my less respectable days," Miss Wilkinson was a street-corner rabble rouser of repute and skill. Wildcat strikes were ' touched off when she sounded the call and at one Ume she led a hunger march against Whitehall. First elected in Middles-borough in 1929, "Red Ellen," as she was called, gained a reputation for swift, devastating wit in debate, but was thought too radical for responsibility. After being returned by Jarrow in 1935, however, she soon gained stature and with the outbreak of war worked untiringly with the coalition government as parliamentary secretary in the ministry for home .security. Many times after her front-bench appointment in 1940 she was called upon to defend government policy to a restive Labor party which twice call ed for her resignation. On each occasion the opposition wilted when she personally answered her critics. One of the two women on Britain's delegation to the San Francisco Conference, she left her government post with the breakup of the wartime coalition to seek re-election in Jar-row. She was elected and became minister of education in Clement Attlee's Labor government. stay at Hotel Moving, Packing, Crating, Shipping and General Cartage and Storage For Complete, Reliable and Efficient Service, Call Lindsay's Cartage & Storage Ltd.

E veryone LETTERBOX STREET SWEEPSTAKES Editor, Daily News- Would you mind putting in a little suggestion in your paper? A few days ago I read In your paper about the city council try -lng so hard to raise money to fix up the streets. Well, by the looks of things, it seems like we will have those holes there for a long time. So why don't we try to get some money by starting a Prince Rupert sweepstake selling tickets at, maybe, a dollar and have good prizes? We need not only to sell them in town but could send them up the line too. People seem to get a lot of fun out of gambling as It In a way would be, but there are always rules and regulations to get around. Maybe somebody else has some better suggestion, so let us get together, (MRS.) INTERESTED. Classified Advertising Paysl Reads the Newspaper...
