FREIGHT RATES (Continued from Page 1) sales with consequent reduction of employment in our district and a corresponding reduction of revenue to the railways. "Therefore any increase in freight rates will result in decreased rather than Increased earnings of the railroad and the workers In the forest industries. "Further, owing to the long freight haul involved in bringing our products to eastern markets, it is only the low production costs which enable the small producers of our area to meet competition in a highly competitive market. If these production costs are increased by added freight charges the bulk of Central B. C. lumber will be prevented from reaching the only market now available. Another major Industry and the main source of employment lor prince Rupert and the coast dsltricts lsv the gathering and processing of fish and sea products. The market for fish is mainly in Eastern Canada and Central :uid Eastern United States. As the main competition for our fi:;h to these markets comes from the Atlantic Coast with much lower freight charges, this I uroposed increase In western rates would be a very serious handicap in the sale of our fish. This would also apply to export shipments to Great Britain which are carried by rail lo the Atlantic seaboard for shipment by boat. 'Regarding foodstuffs, ' fuel, ;i-o!inc and other manufactured products we find that inward freight represents 5 of the cost of these goods. Whereas the householder Is required eventually to assume all freight charges for goods brought in, ;'ivy increase in those charges will result in a general price increase on the main necessities or lire. This will certainly tend lo bring about the Inflation which our government agencies ;ne striving so hard to avoid. "Whereas the cost of living in districts served by rail Is necessarily higher than In those icrved by water transport an Local Boy Incurable Leonard Campbell Will Get Worse Instead of Better, It is Found Leonard Campbell, 11 -year-old Prince Rupert boy, who was recently sent to crippled children's hospital in Vancouver as a result of a campaign conducted on his behalf in this city, will not recover but will become "progressively worse." This Is the verdict of specialists in Vancouver who have diagnozed that he Is suffering from creeping paralysis. His legs are already useless and his arms are losing their power. Now he gets around by crawling. Before long he will not even be able to do that. Mrs. Ross Richardson, who took the lad south recently, is now endeavoring to find a home for him in Vancouver where he is about to be discharged from the crippled children's hospital because of his incurability. Simma Milncr has written in the Vancouver Sun as follows about Leonard: "A little boy, helpless and terribly crippled, has one ambition to get "big and strong and support my tiny Mum " "And now every night his pray ers are punctuated with: Please dear God, make me better soon. "But his nurse, who has just been told her 11 -year-old charge Leonard Campboll will never realize either his ambition or his prayers, has a more attainable wish. That is to find a home for the youngster. "Leonard Is the victim of creeping paralysis. His legs are useless and his arms are losing their power. Instead of realizing his ambition, the lad soon will not even be able to move by crawling as he now docs. Friends Do P.cst "Through the efforts of Leonard's Santa Claus, Thomas Smith, and his 'fairy godmother' nurse, Mrs. Ross Richardson, both of Prince Rupert, the boy was brought from the northern city to Vancouver for special treatment and examinations last Thursday. The fact that he is incurable was ascertained this week. y "Specialists here agreed that Nn ' f Qrf, M.itll w Allan- frnirr, "I think I'm going crazy. Lately I've been wanting to find a pood lob, get married, and have a couple of kids'" i 1 increase in freight charges will automatically increase the above differential. In this manner the smaller inland population of the country would be required lo subsidize rail services to the larger population at seaboard points who receive tlisir supplies mainly by water transport. "In addition to the cost differential mentioned above there Is also a rate difference known as "terminal rate" which allows a lower rate on all shipments to seaboard towns. "British Columbia has been for a long time at a disadvantage due to the so-called "Mountain Difftrential" In freight rates whereby the railroads have charged higher rates In British Columbia than for comparable distances in other parts of Canada. Any further increase would only aggravate this already unfair situation. "This organization takes a very serious view of this matter and feels that any Increase whatsoever In freight rates will most assuredly bring about large scale unemployment in Central British Columbia resulting in the widespread suffering and despair of the 'depression years." THIS AND THAT the Prince Rupert boy would become 'progressively worse.' "For the first time since Leonard's first muscular paralysis began at the age of five, things began to happen for him about three months ago. "It all started when Mrs. Richardson, walking down the street, noticed some boys pushing another youngster's face into the mud. "Come on, she said to the mud covered lad, get up and hit them back! "Aw he can't. He's a sissy! screamed the bullies. "Come on fellah; encouraged Mrs. Richardson. Show them you aren't. Plight Brings Forth Tears Tears started from the mud-encrusted eyes and the boy replied: "I can't 'cause I can't walk. "Mrs. Richardson then realized the boy's plight for the first time and carried him to his home. "What she saw there appalled her. His mother was a frail and sickly woman with her five children ranging In ages from 2 to 11. The boy's father was mak ing barely enough to support himself. "She immediately contacted, Thomas Smith who, .as Prince Rupert's good Samaritan, had already done much for the crippled boy. The two of them canvassed the city and raised $665 to get him to Vancouver for special treatment and examination. "Now Leonard is to be discharged but, because of his condition and the situation in which the family lives, he cannot return north. "Leonard Is a good looking boy whose ready laugh seems to be reflected In his brown eyes. He can improvise jokes, too, and never indulges in self pity for he is sure that he will be 'playing baseball soon like the other guys.' "He Joves companionship and in the week in Vancouver, he has already made good friends in the hospital. "Leonard is considered' a very intelligent youngster by both nurses and friends. But because lie had to be carried to the school bus and then into school, Ills education was interrupted in Grade Two. "Leonard is a natural artist. IILs understanding and love of the out-of-doors has been a means for, transplanting natural life to his cripple's couch. There he spends most of his time coloring birds, trees, animals and flowers that he finds in color books. His sensitivity and sense of reality for color has been marvelled at by many of his little friends and the nurses. "Before long, however, the youngster won't be able to draw. Already his paralysis-threatened arms are weakening. Mrs. Richardson, who left her business to bring Leonard to Vancouvpr and is now staying at the Burrard Hotel, won't leave here' until she can find a home, or the wlicrcwithall to keep him In a home. "He needs medical attention, care and friendship three things he cannot get in his crowded home In Prince Rupert. He hasn't even place to crawl there, explained Mrs. Richardson. Besides, there Is danger of catching pneumonia on the floor of their rarely healed home. "But despite the Tact that Leonard will be without a home Saturday, he still smiles and says: "It's okay though. I'll walk soon and then I'll go back and take care of my tiny mother."

Col. C. P. Johnson, Alaskan railroad manager, requested that the "pesky moose" be reduced to "moosetourgers" but Gruenlng replied that the railroad delays were not serious enough to warrant killing the animals which are an attraction to tourists. Johnson complained that they caused 14 schedule delays and one derailment on January 10. AVAWWVUWwVW.WWV TODAY'S STOCKS (Courtesy S. D. Johnston Co. Ltd.) Vancouver Bralorne B. It. Con B. R. X.
