Ottawa, Concerts Here to Stay j AST NIGHT the curtain was rung down on the L last of the Alaska Music Trail concerts for this suason. The applause that followed the final encore was a tribute to tenor- Raymond Manton, but "indirectly it was also an expression of appreciation ' for, the group which has steered the series through che most successful period since its inception. Despite the wide appreciation of good music here, it is not easy to put on concerts which will not unly give enjoyment but show profitable financial return as well. The latter is essential as it helps to balance off the heavy expenditures the Civic Centre must make to maintain the facilities which add so much to our general pleasure. By dint of experiment and a certain amount of disappointing experience,- those who volunteered their time to organize the concerts have, with the unsparing help of the Civic Centre staff, brought the concerts to a level where they are paying as well as pleasing. Because this has been accomplished, Prince Rupert can look forward with the warming thought that the Alaska Music Trail concerts are here to stay. . There is only one way of saying it to those who have made this possible Thank you.

That was just over eight years ago. Until the defeat of the government last June, the peppery little legislator from Terrace bore the awesome responsibility of being real estate agent on the public's behalf for this incredibly vast and valuable property. The crucial test came in the latter part of his term when the Aluminum Company of Canada expressed interest in spending millions of dollars on a hydro-power development in the northern coastal range. Mr. Kenney closed the deal which led to the project now underway at Kemano and Kitimat, and with which his name will forever be associated in the form of the giant Kenney Dam at Nechako. There are those who say he did not drive a hard enough bargain. There are others who maintain he skillfully clinched an enormous business for B.C. which might have gone elsewhere. There is no call to rehash that now. It has all been argued before. ThM point is tthat, unmotivated! by personal profit, Mr. Kenney did what he considered right for the province. Not many of his critics can claim to have reached a position in public service where it mattered whether their decisions were right or not. Even though the last year has been an anticlimax in his political career, this native Maritime can look back on a life of usefulness to his adopted province on the Pacific, and particularly to this piece of it. V It is hoped that he will remain long in these parts and that some of the younger constituents hx-aded into public life will pick up a few lessons on the way from the respected old master in their midst. ga'J18 11 tes, ease the stress of the cold n0VI homes, bathtufts. stoves, l.
