Why Not Prince Rupert ITH maritime observers predicting that Canada's deep water ports on both Atlantic and ; Pacific. coasts are due this year for a shipping j' volume that will exceed anything previously re- corded, it is quite incomprehensible that Prince ; "Rupert, a port so strategically located, so complete- ly equipped and so anxious to be advantageously ; utilized, should continue to go idle. The Prince Rupert Chamber of Commerce has been making continuous effort to keep the case of ' the port before the attention of the authorities that ; could do something to promote its use. In the Can-; adian Chamber of Commerce, the support of West-; ern Canada, even Vancouver, has been won in the : .representations that have beer, made with a view ! to developing traffic through the port. ' There has been a sort of evasive expression of liympathy every time the question of using the port 5f Prince Rupert has been brought before the fed-j eral departments which could, if they would, be of j invaluable assistance in promoting the port. Cabi- net ministers, directly interested, come and go but Viiever a one can find time to visit Prince Rupert. The latest snub is from no less a vitally concerned minister than Mr. Claxton, head of the Department of National Defence, the plans of which department, in the changing scene of international relations, are focussed these days in the north. The furthest north he can get on the Pacific coast, however, is a few miles from the United States border. We are not unappreciative of anything that is done for us" by Ottawa and we think we have amply demonstrated our thankfulness for everything we hnve received but we cannot help Jbut become impatient and irked when we hear of the big and (,f:veloping maritime traffic through the ports of Ganada and see our own great port in continuing idleness. It is difficult for us to understand. NO TIME FOR NEGLIGENCE A"S THE British Columbia -Cancer Foundation, i the B. C. branch of the Canadian Cancer So- , ciety and the Prince Rupert branch prepare to ; open their second annual campaign ,against Can- ada's No. 2 killer, we are again reminded that the j appalling toll exacted by this disease could be vir-; tually halved if citizens would take simple precau- tions to catch it in its incipient stages. j Medical science has progressed to the point at . which this scourge can be arrested before it has ' 'been able to establish a firm hold. As far as the J : individual is concerned, his or her opportunity to ( -'avoid becoming a fatal victim rests frequently in ' an annual medical examination. Such a precaution j is little enough to expect from a public only too familiar with the ravages which may follow neg-i' ligence.- i Statistics emphasize the importance of taking . .e 1 t. 11 every saieguaru. in mis province alone approximately 1,300 die annually from the disease. Furthermore, on the basis of past records,, one Canadian in eight can expect to die from this malignancy unless, its, inroads into health are checked. Fear of the disease provides no protection against it. Common sense dictates a course recommended by those Who have, made a study of cancer. Certain reasonably reliable symptoms are known. On their appearance, medical diagnosis should be sought without delay. The crusade against cancer is everyone's busi- :ivess. The eamnairm nrncrrpsspa with nvnnnvlinrr on. --lightenment. A JOURNALISTIC ACHIEVEMENT t WITH Prince Rupert emphasized as the logical port of entry and Central British Columbia stressed as the source "of numerous items of supply, the Alaska Statehood and International Development edition of the Ketchikan Alaska Chronicle has made its appearance and all those associated with its conception and production are ' to be congratulated and commended. .T The generous manner in which Prince Rupert and Central British Columbia are featured with two eight page' sections exclusively devoted thereto, including appropriate articles, fine illustrations and, of course, good advertising support, is deserving of appreciation for it will give us . excellent publicity. To get out the 88-page edition required a big ; t effort on the part of Publisher WillianvL. "Baker, ; Ralph H. Browne, formerly with the United . States ,Army",here,.arid, now associate editor of ' the ! '-'Ketchikan Chronicle,, and the rest of the staff, but ' "they have reason to be well satisfied with the re-; ".suit.

E. A. Crew, professor of public health and social medicine r.t the University of Edinburgh, In Belgium, Finland and I Denmark the percentage of j twins exceeds 1.5 but is only i about one In Bulgaria. Hiin-aarv and Italy and. less than one ,per cent in Greece, he .wrote-in an ! article in the medical journal, The Practitioner. " 'Nothing woulu beeasier. than to conclude that this difference is to be explained by reference to othnic or climatic conditions," wrote the professor, "but the position cf Scotland where the percentage of twins is lower than in Bulgaria makes such reasoning hazardous."
