Why Not Prince Rupert? P' OSSIBLY JOHN STRACHEY, the British Minister of Food, who has been talking so much about the vital part that the port of Vancouver is playing in connection with the movement of Canadian, wheat to the United Kingdom in the food emergency, has never heard of Prince Rupert and this grain shipping avenue. Explanations notwithstanding, it is still just a little hard for us to understand why, when not only Britain but all of Europe is crying for Canadian wheat and the statement, is made 'that the volume of the movement is limited only by the capacity to handle it, some way cannot Be made to use the port of Prince Rupert and its grain handling facilities. It used to be that Prince Rupert used to get a few scraps of grain to ship when Vancouver had qoo much. Now it seems we are not being favored qven to that extent. It is no wonder that our patience is becoming frayed about the way we are being ignored and side-tracked. Timely Visitor provincial Department THE of Trade and Industry is to ,be congratulated on sending the new trade representative from British Columbia to London on a brief visit to Prince Rupert today while on his way abroad to assume his new duties. We are appreciative of the fact that he has been able tb call here to look tht place oyer at first hand when other places could not be similarly favored before lie leaves, it is also gratifying that, after leaving here, he is to make a visit tb Prince George, the hub of the central interior. It is well that Col. Smith should see for himself what we have in this part of the country and that he may have the picture of what the country looks like to add to the information about us that he will have been provided with by1 the department. ! Prince Rupert expects some day to be a port of shipment for the United Kingdom and this area of the coast with its fish products and lumber and the interior with its developed and so far undeveloped products might quite well be a source of supply of various kinds of .goods for Britain. Col. Smith will ajso observe what there is to offer here in the way of industrial, commercial arid settlement possibilities. When he gets established in his post in London, it may well be that he will be able to make yery valuable contacts on our behalf in the way of interesting people there in this last great untouched cofner of Empire and the opportunities it ms to offer. We Fall Down rAR BELOW what was ex-. " pected" is the comment that is made by the local Red Cross president when speaking of the response of Prince Rupert people to the drive for volunteers as donors .of blood for the reserve being built up in British Columbia (or transfusion purposes. Prince Rupert people have Always been noted for the spontaneous and full measure in which they responded to good humanitarian causes. It is strange that they should tot be coming forward in registering themselves as being willing to give not of money but of their blood so that it may be able when needed for ithe saving of other's lives. We 'do not think it is intentional apathy or careless indifference. Possibly, the need has not been ifully impressed upon them. All "they are called upon to do now is to register with the Red 'Cross executive or any of the banks. If they even turn in their names to the Daily News 'office, we will see they are transmitted to the proper quarters. Arts and Crafts Prince Rupert people MANY should be interested in the move which we announce today to organize an exhibition of local arts and crafts at the Civic Centre in the early spring. Already, a considerable number have evinced their interest, by volunteering to display the products of their art and handicraft. There are, doubtless, many more here who could contribute to making a real and versatile show of it. The development of the fine arts and personal handicrafts is something that Is to be much encouraged as part of the cul-" tural, life of the community. It should .command widespread-attention not. only on the part of those who have something to show, but among the many othsrs who would appreciate seeing. There s no doubt that Prince Rupert can make a good " showing along these lines and it will be interesting for all of us to have the opportunity of seeing assembled in display what our neighbors are capable of doing. REPORTS ON CONFERENCE Teachers' Fedei'ation Is Awaiting Visit from Official Last evening's monthly meet ing of the Prince Rupert Dis-rict Teachers' Association heard the report of their president, J.
