Nor will the government liquor store gobble up as large a proportion of what is left in town. In other words, the'smaller number of employees on the permanent staff of the operating mill will probably spend just as much money, if not more, in the city as do the greater number of construction men now working there. Then, too, the majority of permanent employees will probably be married with families and need more houses than the larger number of transient employees do now. The council heard Monday night that ten bona fide applicants for national housing were forced to wait until next year's quota was allotted to Prince Rupert. They took the statement as being aU right. The council at the same meeting heard the medical officer deplore the bad housing conditions that are cropping up in the city. At the same meeting council granted a licence to a firm they were told will employ up to 150 more people in the city proper. The housing shortage in Prince Rupert has been -grave problem for some time now. The allotment of-rnoney for national housing was based on the re-. quirements of Prince Rupert's stagnation period. While the city council was bemoaning the fact , that few answered their questionnaire on housing ,. requirements a few weeks ago, they have now been told that ten .applicants for housing are left j in the cold until next year because this year's allot-j inept of money for national housing has been used ; up. The fact that it has been used up when the year I is less than two thirds finished must certainly give ; them some lever th?y cain use to have that allot-! ment increased. 5 . Ten more houses in Prince Rupert would go a i long way toward alleviating the crowded conditions ' the medical officer told them had led to poor health. ' and moral leniency. Now is the time for the city ! council to act and att with force. It is quite con-, ceivable that there "will be ten more bona fide appli- cants for housing before the year is finished. Jf the j alfotment is left the same for next yeai, it is pro-; bable that next year's national housing allotment will be used up by hold-overs from this year. That ', 'does not help in solving the housing problem.

(Published personally).! It is not only the story of that I With the rapid eoonomic and military development of Soviet Asia, the U.S.S.R. now has a new and substantial base which cculd become a taking-off ground for future expansion in the direction of Persia, Afghanistan, India and China. This vast area, shown In the adjoining map, is screened by the highest mountain ranges in .the world and Isolated from' Rutsia proper by the Caspian and desert steppes. It cor.suts of five technically autonomous republics, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Tadzikstan and Khirgizia, known collectively as Soviet Turkestan, r.ch in minerals and agricultural resources and now having a population of some 16.000.000. Until the last war the Kremlin regarded Soviet Turkestan , primarily as a colonial arja providing special crops, above all 1 the cotton of Uzbekistan Phci the wheat and cattle of Kazakh-" stan, to satisfy the needs of metropolitan Russia. At the same time the virtually untapped mineral resources were being rapidly developed. During the war the wholearea increased enormously in importance, with the denial of the food and" coal and steel of the Ukraine; and with the accelerated development came an influx of settlers from the Ukraine and other western ' parts of Russia. Since the war this process has continued, and the emphasis now is on building up Soviet Turkestan into a self-fcippi; Ung area with important communications to the bordering States to the south and. the east. These communications now. serve as routes for trade and peaceful penetration. For example, -whereas in the past the main trade of Afghanistan was with India, since the British withdrawal she-has been drawn increas- . lngly into the Russian orbit and her trade now flows north across the Oxus to Soviet Turkestan. " Similarly, whereas the trade route across the Gobi Jsert between western Sinkiang and eastern China was costly and slow, the building of the motor highway from Alma Ata Into the Interior of Sinkiang bringss Urumchi Into the Soviet economic network. " Th? strategical value of these new ground communications Is clear, ,pnl It ,is.reinforcei by the establishment of Soviet air-baj36 irt both Afghanistan and Sinkiang. The present trade talks between the Soviet Union and Persia may be seen to mark a further step in the process of trying to convert what were once buffer States between Russia and British interests into extensions of the Soviet sphere of Influence. Airways link the new cities with Moscow, and Tashkent has become the headquarters of one of the six Russian home-based armies. The general trend of development is to make Soviet Turkestan into a new and dangerous power in the heart of backward Asia. dynamic little city, which is the junction point between the On-! tarlo Northland and the.

Disruption has now reached a point where, if the strike ended I tomorrow, it would take days, if not weeks, before transportation and communication facilities would be restored to normal handling of traffic. j tn Effects of this deplorable tie-up have already 1 been such that it will take a long time to repair the i damage which has been done during these last ten ; days. , There have been many serious losses and one of 1 the most serious of these losses, in the ease of the .".Canadian National Railways at least, will be that of the friendly relations whih over .the years has 1 grown up between management and- employees, comething that had been built up to such a marked degree in the lush days of Sir Henry Thornton's ; regime and had been maintained through the 1 Hnngerford and Vaughan administrations.

"At a table," says Mrs. Marwlck, "sat two Frenchmen, an Italian, a Belgian, a Syrian, and Englishman and one whose ancestors came from Ireland. Tq that meeting came a Finlander to impart the benefit of his experience in lumbering." It's an old saying that "you can't keep a good man down" and this home-spun book shows why neither fire nor disease epidemics could keep down the North.
