H.
B.
Eastman,
well-known
pioneer
resident
of
this
city,
died
in
Prince
Rupert
General
Hospital
after
a
lengthy
Illness.
Born
in
Dundee,
Scotland,
71
years
ago,
she
came
to
Canada
and
Prince
Rupert
about
35
years
ago,
and
had
resided
here
since.
Interested
in
community
activities,
she
was
a
past
mistress
of
the
Loyal
Orange
Benevolent
Association
and
a
member
of
the
Canadian
Legion
Ladies'
Auxiliary
and
a
past
officer
of
that
group.
Besides
her
husband,
at

she
is
survived
by
two

,
"Whether
we
like
it
or
not,
the
yard
being
operated
as
at
present
is
losing
money
for
the
taxpayers
of
Canada
and
at
the
same
time
it,
has
been
deteriorating
badly
...
It
Is
a
situation
that
can't
go
on
forever
and
the
sooner
It
is
stopped,
the
better.
"Personally
I
don't
think
it
ever
will
stop
while
the
CN
a
railway
company
is
operating
(or
not
operating
a
marine
plant
in
which
it
shows
no
interest.
"The
blame,
if
blame
it
is,
must
lie
either
on
the
head
office
of
the
CNR,
or
on
government
policy,
or
on
a
combination
of
the
two,
complicated

ameliorated
by
the
fact
that
the

Is

"We
would

UM
The
Pope
Wednesday
night
passed
his
eighth
consecutive
"fairly

night
and
his
slow
progress
toward
recovery
continues,
Vatican
sources
said
today.
The
informants
said
the

of
solid
food
given
the
78-year-old
head
of
the

is

tentatively
diagnosed
as
JOHN

AN,
33-year-old
butler
of
Britain's
high

has-
been
fired
because
of
a
series
of
articles
he
has
written
about
the
Duke
of
Edinburgh,
his
fornier
employer.
A
wartime
RAF
veteran,
Dean
was
head
of
Sir
Archibald

Dean
said
Sir
Archibald
took
a
critical
view
of
the
articles,
describing
his

with
the
Duke.

he
