REPAIRING

For

the

will
be
without

It
has
become
necessary
to

so
the

will
find

for

comprised
the
business
at
the
annual
general
meeting
of
the
Skeena

Association,
held
at
the
Civic

last
evening.
W.

Is

Read
by
J.
T.
Harvey,
secretary,
were
reports
from
George
Rorie
and
M.
C.
O'Neill
who
had
been
dele
gates
to
the
national
Progressive-Conservative
convention
in
Ottawa
when
George
Drew
was
(elected
party
leader.
i
In
the
course
of
his
reoort.
Mr.
Rorie
said
that,
to
be
in
Ottawa
on
an
occasion
such
as
the
convention,
was
for
him
a
wonderful
experience.
He
had
been
appointed
to
the
committee
on
policy
and
organization
in
which
he
did
very
little
if
any-speaking
but
which
was
an
education
in
itself.
Like
all
the
other
committees
it
sat
late
every
evening
after
each
general
session
of
the
convention.
Its
deliberations
.
carried
a
great
deal
of
weight'
with
Its
senior
body
the
resolutions
committee.
As
to
the
election
of
Mr.
Drew
as
party
leader,
Mr.
Rorie
said
he
did
not
think
that
a
better
man
could
have
been
chosen.
He
is
comparatively
young
and
a
dynamic
and
brilliant
speaker.
He
appears
to
have
the
future
and
he
is
an
out-and-out
adherent
of
the
British
Commonwealth.
Mr.
Rorie
said
he
had
been
given
to
understand
that
Mr.
Drew,
with
his
wife,
who
is
an
equally
dynamic
personality,
will
make
a
tour
of
Western
Canada
at
an
early
date.
Mr.
O'Neill,
writing
from
Smithers;
thanked
the
Associa
tion
for
his
nomination
as
dele
gate.
The
convention,
was
a
wonderful
occasion
in
his
ex
perience
and
would
always
be
remembered.
The
atmosphere
of
the
event
was
splendid
and
a
feeling
of
good
fellowship
prevailed
throughout.
In
the
choosing
of
a
leader
there
was
no-room
for
argument.
After
seeing
the
candidates"
and
listening
to
them
speak,
Mr.
Drew
was
so
'outstanding,
there
could,
in
his
opinion,
be
no
other
choice
The
election
of
officers
re-suited
as
follows:
Honorary
President,
George
Drew.
Honorary
Vice-President,
Hon.
Herbert
Anscomb.
President,
M.
C.
O'Neill,
Smithers.

-
President,
J.

Second

-
President,
Alf

Ocean

Secretary
-
Treasurer,
Douglas
Stevenson.
The
meeting,
which
adjourned
about
9:30,
devoted
some
time
to
an
informal
and
general
discussion
relating
to
district
political
matters.
There
was
an
impression
that,
within
a
year
or
perhaps
earlier,
Canada
would
have
a
general
election.
Next
fall
was
the
time
most
frequently
heard
mentioned,
while
some
suggestions
spoke
of
the
Epring.
It
was
felt,
respecting
party
matters
in.

that,
with
a
federal
election,
in
any
event,
not

"They

Mr.
Metcalfe
said,
"quite

as
could
have
been

A
principal
difficulty
is
that

between
Haines
and
the

Highway
junction
Is
154
miles
and
112
miles
of

is
keeping

It
is
still
passable
and

is
i,emg
made
to
keep
the
road
open
as
long
as
possible.
The
work
of
clearing
slides
continues
but
just
how
long
this
will
be
practicable
is
uncertain.
