Prince Rupert Daily News Tuesday. February 14. 19f() ? 'JOHNNY'S Warm WESTERN and things are back to normal again except perhaps the citl-, zens' tempers which hold some , si)i t of grudge against a some 1 sort of power company. We can ' now all happily view our roads , again, but drivers no doubt were' i content to , keep them covered. Prln Pnpi-ri t;.lr - 1.1.1 -M .vpmw. fi.n. F.u,hi. Br.Ii.l, r.Vmmbi. uiSZJi i .

It is a forceful and legal sounding docu- ! ment, which summarizes, we would say, the exist- : ing popular line of opinion of an indignant commun-1 hy which has suffered extensively in many ways as ; a result of the long shortage of electricity. ' ! ; Without appearing to pass judgment upon the ; technical and legal aspects of the situation which has arisen, we M ould say that the Chamber of Commerce has rendered a real service to the community ! in this dissertation upon the power situation. It has I brought clarification to the search for an early .and ; ' permanent rectification of .a situation many aspects of which has been confused by indignant discussion.

Like the rest of us lie had had his ups and downs, and he did a lot of physical suffering too, but he always saw the bright side and radiated happiness. Good times or bad, jhe was never downhearted and his hundreds of friends went to his store as much to get a tonic of his perpetual enthusiasm as to buy his goods. If he Vvas ever pessimistic or critical, it was mighty few people who e ver knew7 it. ."Bob" Gordon can be rated as one of Prince Rupert's "good" citizens and, as such, he will be freatly missed. He w as one of those outstanding personalities who soon won not only the respect but tiie affectionate esteem of all with whom he came h contact whether in business or socially. Generous and sympathetic by nature, he did fjuich in a quiet way to advance the interests of the &ity and his loss will be widely mourned.

It may be said that a proportion, who were capable agriculturists, developed into fOQd settlers. i Nevertheless, among some, difficulties s kept cropping up from time to time and if these present malcontents do as they say they will, Canada will " be .rewarded for her patience and forbearance. These people, different in many ways, have shown that they can be a worthwile part of the population, if they want to, and the Dominion has the right to expect that now is the time to "want to." jT WON'T BE LONG fTWON'T BE LONG NOW! .Zero has returned I; to where it belongs.
