BETTER
DAYS
HERE
RUPERT
is
very
definitely
beginning
to
PRINCE
feel
the
effect-
of
widespread
postwar
activity.
It
is
doubtful
if
the
city
and
district
has
ever
been
attracting
more
attention1
all
over
the;
continent,
and
abroad
too,
than
it
is
today.
Although
the
1947
calling
season
is
already
young,
many
prominent
visitors
have
already
been
here
and,
indications
are
that
there
will
be
many
more
important
ones.
Possibly
even
a
federal
cabinet
minister,
who
appear
the
hardest
to
induce
to
come
this
way,
may
be
able
to1
spare
a
few
hours
from
Vancouver
arid
Victoria
and
favor
us
with
a
call
although
it
is
understood
that
we
may
first
have
a1
United
States
cabinet
member
in
the
person
of
Secretary
of
Labor
Lewis
Schwellenbach
who1
we
hear
is
coming
a
week
from
Monday
to'
be
exact
Anyone'
associated
with
the
Chamber
of
Commerce
knows
the
interest
that
is
being
taken
in
this
area
and
the
job
the
hard-working
but
ever
cheerful
and
indefatigable
secretary
is
having
in
keeping
up
with
it
all.
Yes,
Prince
Rupert
is
taking
its
place
in
the
sun.
We
are
becoming
really
known;
A
change
in
the
pace
of
the
city
is
also
being
2
noted!
Never
ill1
pre-war
days
was
it
as
brisk
and
I
as;optimistic"aS
it
is
today.
There
is
a
new
attitude.
The
old
spirit
of
pessimism,
self-deprecation
and
defeatism
is
giving
away
to
optimism,
community
m
pride
and
confidence.
As
for4
public
relations,
We
have
the
world'
really
looking
this
Wiy
arid,
as
we
have
suggested
before,
it
may
be
more
important
now
for
us
to
think
about
making
a
good
impression
upon
people
who
come
here
rather
than
actually
endeavouring
to
persuade
them
to
visit
us.
We
have
gone
a
long
way
lately,
one
way
or
ari-other,
in
selling
Prince
Rupert.
Now
we
have
to
deliver
and
there
are
plenty
of
improvements
to
be
made,
all
of
which
have
been
dwelt
upon
ere
this.
THE
HIGHWAY
who
traVel
to
and1
from
Prince
Rupert
MOTORISTS
over
the
highway
are
unanimously
declaring
that
tlie
section
of
the
rbad:
from
Hazelton
on
into
Prince
Rupert,
notwithstanding
the
fact
that
it
has
only
been-open
a
few
weeks
after
a
hard
winter,
is
in
much
better
shape
than
the
road
beyond
towards
Prince
George.
"It
is
a
good
road,"
say
many
motorists
who
are
always
entranced'
by
the
gorgeous
mountain
and
valley
scenery
of
the
lower
Skeeria
Valley.
Of
course,
we
all
know
there
are
defects
in
the
road
between
here
and
Terrace;
particularly
closer
in
to
Prince
Rupert,
but
it
does
not
mean
we
should
1'
not
give
credit
where'
credit
is
due.
Undoubtedly,
there
is
some
reason
Why
the
road,
ds
some
people
say,
should
be
better
this
spring
than
it
has
ever
-
been
before.
While
our
well-justified
campaign
to
get
the
road
in
first-class
shape
continues
and
there
must
be
much
work
done1
before
it
is
a'
first-class
road-it
is
at
least
satisfactory
to
know
that
a
considerable
number
of
the
motorists
are
finding
the
highway
even
today
much
better
than
most
of
us
had
thought
it
was
or
would'
be.
'
THE
BALK
AtfS
AGAIN
ONCE
AGAIN
or
still,
for
that
matter
the
Balkans
are
seething
with
international
unrest
m
and
are
the
fertile
ground
for
the
seeds
of
war.
Hungary
is
only
anbther
step
in'
the
march
of
the
r
new
colored
Russian
bear
southward'
on
the
Medi-
terranean.
Now
only
Turkey
and
Greece
remain
and
the
western
powers
are
taking
their
stand
there
against
the
sweep
of
communism.
.
Probably,
little
can
or
will
be
done
about
Hungary
now
in
spite
of
President
Truman's
declaration
that
his
country
will
not
stand
idly
by.
The
crisis
still,
however,-
remains
and
the
fact
is
that
a:
virtual
aggressor
from
the
north
is
more
solidly
entrenched
than
even
Hitler
at
the
height
of
war
ever
became.-
It
is
a
dangerous
but
typical
situation
in
the
Balkans
and
one
which
will
be
provocative
of
much
anxious
interest
in
the
immediate
days
to
come.
