r - Prince Rupert Deity News would be disastrous to the nation and hence the ground would be cut from under the very feet j ol those who had been advocating small families in order to chance to hear a great woman like Dr. Alva Myrdal, speaking on, Responsible Citizenship in a World Community, I say, let's1 listen.

Years ago he became -identified with the Workmen's Oompensa-tiontiori Board and moved to Vancouver. Later The Optimist "was renamed Daily News. I PS AND DOWNS i In the course of general street construction, deep fills nd high retaining walls were -often re-j quired and, as a consequence of this, The Journal stood away below grade. This, while lncon- j venient, was of comparatively small moment. Dozens of heavy contracts In the way of city j building were pending if not al -reday started. CARS TO COME Today, cars by t;.e hundreds glide day and night back and the U.S. army newspaper "North Suh" at Edmonton during the war) writes thus re the Myrdals: "Large families were called 'Myrdal families' and a new verb 'to Myrdal' was introduced inu) the language. More serious than this were the attacks from Left and Right politicians." 'The Social 'Demosrats 'feared the larger family plea was militarist propaganda; the Conservatives saw it as a scheme to get; n more socialism 1 through the back door. Nevertheless the logic of the Myrcials care was so overwhelming that It finally tecame state policy in Sweden. One rult was that Sweden got, and still has, about ttie most enUghtened policy of state-encouraged housing in the whole world. APART FRUfci WRITING A dozen books of her own, I believe Mrs. Myrdal collaborated with her great husband in the classic work on the U.S. race and color question.

Wiikim, '0 Mile PO 1 ' I Co-operation-Co-ordination PERHAPS the two bodies in Prince Rupert that ircan do most to benefit the city are the Chamber of Commerce and the City Council. But in order to gSt things done they must work together. f The council transacts civic business. The cttamber represents business organizations. '- Both have the interests of the city at heart. Through various associated boards and the Canadian Chamber of Commerce the chamber of commerce coordinates its efforts with other cities. 'Both, in tfteir own spheres, are acquainted with and act in accordance with the national scheme. 2 But in the civic scheme sometimes they are in-ch'ned to follow their own devices. What is needed iS closer co-operation with each other. Both can be 01 use to the other if they act in a spirit of mutual helpfulness. 2 This can be brought about by keeping each other ppsted on activities, one consulting the other on iCatters of common concern and by a full understanding, that one has the interests of the city just -c much at heart as. the other. The cartoon of the two mules pulling against each other and accomplishing nothing and of the Same two mules pulling in the same direction to move heavy load is apt. What is needed in Prince Rupert today Is cooperation between the Chamber of Commerce and te city council. Co-ordination of those bodies with provincial and national organizations is an accom-tfjjished fact. Outdoor recreation . CIVIC CENTRE activities, which do so much towards occupying the leisure time of old and young alike, are now moving to considerable extent outside with the opening for the season of the swimming and wading pools at McClymont Park and supervised . playground activities due to commerce about the time of closing of school at McClymont fiark and Seal Cove playgrounds. It is satisfactory hat, now the fine long days are here, the" Civic (lentre should devote itself to this beneficial and s tfceful work 2 Long since has the Civic Centre and its activities been credited with being a large factor in keeping juvenile delinquency at a minimum 'in the city ihrough providing the young folk with somewhere &go and something to do.

My rule fcr measuring a real leader, as compared with a mere time server, or casher-inner, is this: Is that leader willing to withstand 'temporary unpopularity for-some cause which the leader knows to be right and necessary, even though the majority of colleagues In the leaders' profession do not agree; and even though the majority of the population may be actively opposed to that cause? "Dr. Alva Myrdal Is such a leader. She and her famous husband (Professor 'Gannar Myrdal 1 became convinced that Sweden needed more babies.

That portion of the press which is known as '.'yellow" and which thrives on sensations and hysteria, aids and abets countless injustices. Yet ' in fairness to the press which stoops to such tactics, it must be said that it could not sell its papers if a large segment of the public did not relish such journalistic garbage, but it must also be realized that the "yellow" press stimulates the appetite of this segment Of the public to feast on this kind of -a journalistic ihenu.
