and
all
communities
comprising
northern
and
central
British
Columbia.
Air
Base
Respoiisibilty
CLARIFICATION
is
still
to
be
obtained
as
to
the
"
V.
future
status
of
the
Seal
Cove
air
base
here.
The
establishment
of
scheduled
air
service
out
of
Prince
Rupert,
involving
the
use
of
the
base
novv
on
somewhat
tentative
basis,
brings
up
the
question
as
to
what
is
to
happen
there.
The
base,
conceived
originally
as
a
Royal
Canadian
Air
Force
defence
project,
even
before
the
outbreak
of
World
War
II,
is
now
temporarily
at
least
in
the
hands
o
the
Department
of
Transport
Many
of
the
buildings
having
been
declared
surplus
to
War
Assets
after
the
Air
Force
pulled
out,
have
now
been
removed
but
other
installations
remain
and
one
of
the
most
important
of
these
is
the
fine
big
hangar.
Who
is
to
be
permanently
responsible
for
it
is
something
that
is
yet
to
be
settled.
Meantime
the
hangar
has
developed
some
roof
defects
and,
in
order
to
support
it,
rows
of
timber
pillars
have
been
erected
which
make
it
impossible
to
bring
in
under
cover
such
aircraft
as
the
big
,
Canso
amphibian
which
has
just
been
commissioned
;
in
the
air
service
between
Prince
Rupert
and
Vancouver.
The
disadvantage
of
not
being
able
to
shelter
this
craft
is
already
becoming
apparent.
With
commercial
air
service
already
in
operation
here
and
with
Prince
Rupert
undoubtedly
destined
to
become
an
important
centre
of
coastal
air
navigation,
a
seaplane
base
appears
to
be
a
public
utility
of
more
than
local
responsibility.
The
natural
thing
to
be
expected
is
that
it
should
be
taken
over
and
maintained
by
some
federal
department
probably
the
Department
of
Transport
There
is
something
the
same
sort
of
a
situation
here
as
in
Vancouver
where
Mayor
McGeer
is
contending
that
the
Sea
Island
airport
is
more
than
a
municipal
responsibility.
CONCERNING
THE.BUND
KELLER,
the
famous
writer
who
started
HELEN
life
without
sight
or
speech
or
hearing,
always
requests
that
those
who
can
see
might
move
up
a
little
closer
on
the
bench
of
life
in
order
to
make
room
for
a
bind
brother.
This
call
comes
to-
citizens
in
the
City
of
Prince
RuRert
and
district
An
appeal
is
going
forth
on
t
behalf
of
the
more
than
1100
blind
persons
in
this
province.
;
'
To
help
the
blind
id
help
themselves
and
to
prevent
blindness
is
the
call
which
reaches
us.
To
share
a
.
little
of
our
sunshine
with
those
who
live
in
the
shadows
is
a
noble
Sentiment.
,
A
manifestationofouripublic
spirit
will
help
to
maintain
a
Field
Secretary
who
visits
the
blind,
deals
with
their
problems
teaches
touch
reading
and
handicrafts
and
generally
brings
within
reach
to
all
blind
persons
those
services
which
the
Institute
has
available,
such
as
home
teaching
and
employment
services,
the
maintainance
of
residences
for
the
blind,
distribution
of
white
canes,
radio
repairs,
free
radio
licence,
travel
concessions,
comfort
allowances
and
adjustment
in
respect
to
home
and
community
life.
Surely
all
these
valuable
aids
to
blind
persons
are
a
matter
of
deep
concern
to
all
those
who
are
1
able
to
count
good
sight
among
their
richest
possessions!
The
happiness
we
get
as
a
result
of
our
,
contribution
will,
perhaps,
be
somewhat
in
proportion
to
the
personal
sacrifice
each
of
us
makes
in
this
effort
to
heto.
The
members
of
the
local
Chapter
I.O.D.E.
are
sponsoring
a
tag
day
on
behalf
of
the
blind
this
coming

President
C.

advis-
j
ed
members
that
their
best
friend
in
the
garden
is
a
hoe.
"A
hoe
is
far
more
important
than
a
ho6e
here,"
he
stated.
But
evidenUy
cultivation
is
an
art
too.
"An

hoe
may
be
all
right
for

for
Hewers."
said
Mr
BalSrno.
'
Use

Some

reported
finding

along

and
are

cultivate
them
in
