of

Prince
Rupert
people
have
'always
been
appreciative
of
the
Port

effort
and
their
Interest
should
be
stimulated
this
year
with
an
Improved
set-up
in
the
staging
of
a
diversified
program
of
harbor
events.
Three
warships
and
two

Carnival
and

is
.
indebted
to
those
(
public
spirited
workers
led
by
W,
F.
Stone,
Civic
Centre
Carnival
chairman,
and
S.'
G.
Furk,
Port
Day
chairman.
They
have
done
their
work
of
preparation
and
organization
ably'
and
weU.
"
Now
it
is
up
to
the
public
to
give
their
generous
support
and
get
a
good
dollar's
worth
In
the
bargain.
T"HE
Civic
Centre
Carnival
and
Port
Day
have
become
the
two
big
institutions
of
the
year
as
far
ae
public
celebrations
in
Prince
Rupert
are
concerned.
With
the
Carnival
opening
tonight,
the
two
events
recur
next
week.
The
Carnival
with
a
marvellous
record
behind
it,
U
staged
for
the
express
purpose
of
raising
funds
for
the
financing
of
the
Civic
Centre.
It
was
these
Carnivals
of
the
past
that
made
the
Civic
Centre
possible.
As
a
result
of
them
a
fund
which
at
one
time
reached
almost
$100
000
was
built
up.
From
this
fund
there
has
been
capital
expenditure
of
$50,000
in
connection
with
the
institution
which
has
become
famous
all
aver
the
continent
and
the
envy
of
many
vastly
larger
communities,
..The
Carnival
has
been
the
financial
life
blood
of
the
Civic
Centre
bo
it
is
deserving
of
the
fullest
possible
support
which
we
hereby
commend.
It
is
interesting
to
note
that
a
new
policy
is
being
followed
this
year
in
connection
with
the
arrangement
of
the
entertainment.
The
whole
carnival
is
being
htaged
within
the
building
and
the
entertainment
will
feature
outstanding
imported
talent-It
was
a
happy
decision
that
Port
Day
should
have
been
arranged
for
the
Thursday
of
the

Centre
