to

why
Canada's
National

Act

to

cannpt
be
made
applicable
to
.Prince

Mr.
Lclgll
who
is
an
account
ant
at
Atlin
fisheries,
went
into
action
when
he
saw
in
the
Dally
News
the
plans
and
description
of
an
N.II.A.
"Home
of
the
Month"
which
he
decided
was
ideally
suitable
for
his
family.
He
decided
to
find
out
why
such
home
could
not
be
built
in
Prince
"Rupert
under
N.H.A.
spon
sorship.
"I
have
only
been
in
Prince
Rupert
a
few
months,
he
saia,
".but
I
feel
that
I
will
be
living
hero
a
long
time.
I
have
tried
to
buy
a
house
but
there
lfiis
been
nothing
for

that
I
felt
Justified
in
putting
money
Into.
I
feel
the
only
way
to
get
what
I
want
Is
to
build."
At
present,
Mr.
Leigh,
who
came
from
Vancouver,
is
living
in
a
Wartime
house
with
his
wife
and
two
sons.
The
tern
porary
nature
of
the
house
has
added
to
his
desire
to
possess
his
ownvhome
here.
Aware
that

as

had
previously
started

-Mr.

went
