Had this city had such an air field, the land plane of the regular air service would have been able to come through to Prince Rupert yesterday and ' bring the important visitors as scheduled. As it was the entire Vancouver-Prince Rupert operation for the day had to be called off because weather conditions were such as to block off landings at the transfer point of Sandspit. And this has not been by any means the first occasion when there has been delav or cancellation of the service between " Vancouver and Prince Rupert which could have ' been maintained had there been an air strip so as the Vancouver plane could come through here. Canadian Pacific Air Lines officials have expressed the opinion that air traffic may increase this year to a point where two flights daily between Vancouver and Prince Rupert may be required. That could mean just double the inconvenience and delay to traffic through the necessity of the transfer between land and sea craft at Sandspit. In addition to the commercial air service, there are also all the casual aircraft which would come . here if there were the air field at this highly strategic point. As we have- often said before Prince Rupert is the only centre of such importance in the country that has no air field. Every day the necessity be-ZT. -comes more and more demonstrated.

I men who today celebrate the anniversary of his birth. Prince Rupert has a double celebration with --two banquets to mark the renewal of the occasion. The Haggis wi' a' the trimmings will be indulged in 'with all the traditional recitals and feasting. : The thing about these Burns celebrations is that, while there may be wassail and feasting, the real import of the occasion does not seem to be forgotten as is the case in the observance of possibly some ; more important events. While some may not be im-; pressed with Burns, he must have been a great ; man. Else how could he have the hold on a nation such as he does? In spite of his shortcomings, he "'""was able to catch and express the sentiment of a great race. But it is only a true Scotsman who can understand and really appreciate the Scotian bard. Today is the lMth anniversary of the birth of Burns, which took place near Ayr, Scotland. Son of a gardener and small farmer, he became the poet of "the common man" one whose gifts of mind and heart breathed such tenderness, simplicity and close touch with life itself. Burns' youth was spent, assisting his father af ter which he moved to Mossgicl where he learned -the duties of flax dresser. A fire terminated his labors in this direction. With his brother, Gilbert, he resumed country life. During this period appeared one of his torly poems, "The Cotters' Saturday Night" which greatly enhanced his re-; ,nown in letters. Burns had an unhappy love affair with Jean" Armour and planned to move to ' Jamaica but not long before sailing was persuaded to remain. t His growing fame brought him into association t with many of Scotland's aristocrats, some of whom . : we're among the most ardent admirers of his works. , It was in 1788 he married Jean Armour. He held office as an exciseman at Dumfries and for a while lived in Edinburgh.
