HOPE
AND
CROSBY
VANCOUVER
Bub
Hope
and
Bin?
Crosby
are
cruising
"somewhere

British

in

Just
where
they
are
j
was
a
local
mystery
today.
CANADIAN
SHIPS
BEING
TIED
UP
HALIFAX
More
Canadian
freighters
are
being
laid
up
be
cause
competition
is
too
severe.
Last
month
three
Nova
Scotia
vessels
stopped
doing
business
because
of
high
operational
costs
and
foreign
rivalry.
The
fourth
vessel
to
quit
the
seas
is
the
10,000-ton
ship
Triport.
Explanation
is
that
foregin
ships
are
more
cheaply
manned
and
j
sailed.
Operational
costs
are
less.
HIGHWAY
CONDITION
Skeena
River
Highway
between
Terrace
and
Prince
Ru-
prt
can
be
said
to
be
in
very
'
fair
condition
for
some
of
the
way
but
below
par
on
certain
sections,
its
state
still
reflecting
the
effects
of
trje
recent
Skeena
River
floods.
From
Prince
Rupert
to
Tyee,
the
road
Is
In
quite
good
shape.
Between
Tyee
and
Kwinitsa
it
is
very
washboardy
with
a
high
frequency
of
potholes
from
which
the
water,
after
rains
like
yesterday,
strikes
like
a
sea
onto
the
windshields.
At-tntion
of
the
grader
Is
badly
needed
here.
Roughness
In
the
Saluvs
area
is,
doubtless,
due
to
the
recent
flood
immersion.
Repairs
are
continuing
and
at
one
point
just
west
of
Salvus
a
short
de-
tour
is
now
being
used
while
the
foundation
of
the
road
is
being
rebuilt.
From
Saluvs
to
Terrace
the
condition
of.
the
road
is
again
very
good.
Much
Improvement
In
the
road
from
Terrace
to
Lakelse
:
Is
to
be
noted,
particularly
at
the
far
end
of
Lakelse
Lake
where
there
has
bebn
consider
-
'
able
rebuilding
and
widening.
