Unless sensible people keep clearly in mir.d how tie system works we eould get anothr .stalemate. Below I lake three sampie constituencies and show how sensible supporters of the three parties opposed to this government can co-operate for a good result.

I'rohaldy to a preater extent than most communities, we in this part of the country are radio listeners. More particularly, we are CBC listeners. Although other networks can be picked up with varying degrees of certainty, our nationally-owned system is to us the principal radio service. As a comparatively remote member of the Canadian family we depend on it heavily to make the distance seem less. While no great change is likely to be noticeable it first, since CFPR has been so closely tied in with he CBC in any case, the appointment of a program lirector is understood to mean there will be increased attention given to organizing local shows.

Another result expected of the move is that Prince Rupert will take its place in the CBC network as a sending point as well as a receiving one. This will not only give the city greater prominence on the national scene hut also afford the rest of the country a better chance to hear the extraordinary story that is unfolding up here. When shipping men in a port the size of Seattle must organize all their resources to meet Prince Rupert competition for the Alaskan trade, for example, there is a narrative in the making that would surely interest the Canadian public. Since C. II. Insulander started the station in 1930, he and his colleagues have served Prince Rupert faithfully and well on the air. Their continued presence on the staff will be a source of gratification J s, Now the citizens of Prince Rupert, as shareholders in the CPC, have another kind of interest in CFPR a proprietory one.

The slump in car loadings reflects simply a normal flow of western grain this year contrasted with last year's abnormal marketings. The drop in the value of the Canadian dollar bids fair to stimulate foreign buying in this market. Most important of all, the surpluses are accumulating in a manner which clouds the outlook ahead of Canadian agriculture. All these factors easily could bring about a business recession which would be reflected in an inevitable measure of public discontent.
