Civic
Centre
Proves
Itself
PRINCE
RUPERTS
CIVIC
CENTRE
has
proved
itself.
The
essentiality
and
value
of
its
varied
functions
have
been
firmly
established.
It
is
a
busy
place
with
something
doing
all
the
time
and
a
multiplicity
of
things
a
great
deal
of
the
time.
And
it
is
becoming
increasingly
'popular
as
the
purposes
of
its
use
become
steadily
more
versatile
and
widespread.
The
civic
centre,
in
its
brief
history,
has
become
a
real
part
of
the
community
life
of
Prince
Rupert.
Few,
if
any,
citizens
there
are
now
who
are
not
deriving
benefit
from
it
one
way
or
another.
If
any
of
us
may
pause
in
supporting
it
or
be
too
ready
in
criticizing
it,
we
might
just
stop
to
think
what
Prince
Rupert
would
be
like
now
if
the
city
had
no
civic
centre.

Labor-Management

-
management
PROVIDED
relations
are
handled
.-.successfully,
the
outlook
for
a
high
degree
of
prosperity
in
i.947
appears
generally
favorable.
The
essential
strength
and
vigor
of
Canadian
business,
demonstrated
during
the
post-war
period,
holds
out
a
great
measure
of
hope.
Perhaps
the
outstanding
economic
development
of
the
past
year
or
so
has
been
government's
deep
cut
into
war
expenditures.
This
was
offset
principally
by
increased
.
private
.arid
corporate
spending
for
construction
and
plant
equipment,
by
the
building
up
of
Inventories
and
a
great
rise
in
consumer
purchasing.
The
question
now
is
what
compen-
r
sating
forms-
of
spending
will
come
into
the
economic
picture
to
prevent
a
condition
of
underconsumption
and
overproduction

and

'business
stops

and

stop

consumer
activity.
Lack
of
balance
thought
by
many
to
exist
in
the
price
structure
ahd
between
wages
and
salaries,
and
the
failure
to
improve
labor-management
.
relationships
might
present
;
economic
difficulties
this
year.
'The
failure
thus
far
to
improve
labor-management
relationships
gives
real
cause
for
serious
uneasiness.
The
threat
involved
here
is
of
two
kinds.
Dispute
in
a
key
industry
might
lead
to
nationwide
economic
paralysis.
Either
labor
or
management
or
both
might
allow
production
costs
to
become
excessive.
This
could
happen
either
because
of
increases
in
hourly
wage
rates
and
other
production
costs
or
because
of
decreases
in
productivity.
More
particularly,
deterioration
in
productivity,
whether
brought
about
by
shortsighted
and
irresponsible
labor
policies
or
by
ineptitude
In
management,
can
be
the
essence
of
inflation
because
it
combines
higher
production
costs
with
fewer
products.
In
this
private
enterprise
system
of
ours,
it
can
lead
to
a
serious

because
employers
might
decide

What
will
come
of
the
present

towards
industrial
strife,
it
Is

to

it
is

this

in
the

of
two
games
which
ended
last

True
the

did
not
win
but
there
was
certainly
nothing
to
be
ashamed
about
when
they
were
able
to
make
no

two

coming
within

of
winning
the

by

As
Coach
Ken
Wright
of
the
Dukes
said
in
an
inter-View
after
the
game
last
night,
the
Prince

team
could,
no
doubt,
give
a
very
favorable
account
of
itself
against
the
best

it
be
possible
for
them
to
go

the
tournament
to

be
held

in

It
is
to
be
hoped
that
an
effort
will
be
made
to
get
the
trip
organized
for
the
locals.
It
would
be
a
good
experience
for

and
the

would
