Yes, Mayor Vhalen THERE is everything to he said in support of the appeals that Mayor Whalen has been 'making of late for business men to be taking a greater measure of interest in civic affairs. The Daily News has been harping on the subject for years in season and out, but with nobody, apparently, taking the matter much to heart in a direct personal way. The indifference seems to have been getting gradually worse and worse to the point at the civic election last December where there were barely enough candidates to fill the offices. Indeed, there were not sufficient nominations for the Parks Board. Hut getting candidates for the offices and taking an interest just before election time is only a part of it. There should be an active Interest in the affairs of the city throughout the year. That does not mean, either, just standing on the sidelines and at thr street corners barking at what it has been hearil the city council might or might not have done. )ne way of showing interest would be for individual citizens to attend city council meetings. Chamber of Commerce, Junior Chamber of Commerce and such bodies might appoint their observers !to watch meetings, see for thtynselves what is goin on, report back to their organizations and have; discussions therein. Then there should most certainly be ratepayers' organizations to observe, advise and, if necessary, criticize and generally foster interest in civic affairs which, after all, are the business of all who reside in the c'itv and most directly the business of those who HOW A CONTRAST It's nmre than" 10 yearn Rince any shooting involving Britain, hit ben hesrd way down around the Falklnnds.

I Interest in civic t affairs could also be fostered through the medium of the press for instance, the colurtias of the Daily News are always open through the Letterbox section on the editorial page for communications along reasonable and useful lines. The point is to keep up a sustained interest throughout the year. This done, Ideas would he developed, new thought would come forward, the importance of civic business would be appreciated and respected and, when the time came around for them to participate, there would likely be an adequate supply of volunteer and capable men and women from whom the electors could choose on election days. Yes, the mayor has something in his appeal and vvc hope he gets some response to it. Protecting Air Travel ,p K ELECTING on the recent disaster of a Northern K Air Lines DC4 at Sandspit, Editor W. L. Baker of Ketchikan Chronicle got to wondering why airline operators and airplane builders don't do more to prepare for emergencies. The navy has Its planes equipped with collapsed life rafts. When the plane comes down at sea, a crewman pushes a button and out comes the life raft, already inflated and ready to use in a few seconds. Had there been such a raft in the DC-4 at Sandspit the lives of most of the 43 persona might have been saved. Survivors reported that all but one or two persons got out of the plane. The pilot was trapped in the belly of the plane where he went to forage for s smelter, townsite and docks. There were 400 to 500 men at , Kitiniat now. This year there 'would be 1200 or more. !
