Shortly after the first world war the people of Prince Rupert approved the sale of the property oxi Third Avenue to the returned veterans for the sum of one ck'l!a The tirooertv consisted of the lot and an old fame building that had been used previously as the telephone exchange.

Trinee Rupert U growing rapidly and never has it been more important that thre should be jcvod and capable municipal administration in view of the many pressing problems that require attention. Half of the aldermanie body will be elected tomorrow and that the brst talent available should le selected is a matter of some urgency. It is good citizenship to exercise the privilege of the ballot and it is remiss to fail to do so. This is the one occasion when overy person has the opportunity to have his or her inviolate say-so in the conduct of the community's most important business. It is a privilege which every one should consider it a duty to take advantage of. They should not have to be urged to get out and vote. FUTURE CITIZENS' DAY IT WAS a pleasure to have the Future Citizens with I us again yesterday. Tbe Jaycees are to be commended on the success of their endeavour to thus bring the young folks in contact with the public services and the industrial, business and professional life of their city. It was a good practical day's education for the students and it is quite evident that they enjoyed the experience and profited therby. If the enthusiasm that the young people who came to the Daily News office to help us and observe a day's newspapering work was any sample of what prevailed" in "the many other places they visited, it must have, been a happy experience for their hosts. We have given Borne space today to their efforts and know our readers will be indulgently interested. Future Citizens' Day is quite an idea and is worthy of being made an annual institution now that it has had its second year.
