'Api.lewhaite, MP for Skeena, recently made a proposal to the public works minister at Ottawa which could lead to some much needed, thmijih minor, dredging in our coastal waters not previously contemplated. ' While dredjinjr of Delkatla Slough at Masset ami of Inverness Passage has been officially approved, there are other points where similar work on a smaller scale is also called for. As mentioned in the Fisheries Association letter that Mr. Apple-whaite read in parliament, one place is the shallow Skidegate Channel which offers the only route to the mainland from the west side of Queen Charlotte Islands without taking- the long way around the north or south end. The letter pointed out that during the heavy run of pinks last year on the islands' west coast, there were delays in reaching- mainland canneries because of bad weather on the outside passage and the inability of boats to navigate through the thannel. - - Another point where dredging would help is the harbor at Dodge Cove on Digby Island. There a liinall dredging operation is required to give boats a suitable berthing- space at low tide. -;:. As Mr. Applewhaite observed, there is no Question of another St. Lawrence seaway being involved in these projects. Although important in their own w ay, they are minor undertakings which Letterbox lost no time in denying It There is a further rumor that Cashln ' may resiun his legislative seat.

Gef on The Voters' List IS YOUR NAME on the B.C. provincial voters' I list? If you did not vote in the last provincial election, your name will not appear on the voters' list June '.K Nor does registration for the Dominion or municipal elections mean that your name is on the provincial list. Newcomers to B.C. and young people just reaching voting age should get on the list. It's good business for them and the community. Here in the Prince Rupert district, full registration will assure an honest polling- of public opinion. Moreover, with a -full list we can show Canada an;up-to-date registration of our populace. The last census Way have 'bten inaccurate.' If sill qualified adults reginter for voting, we have just one more bit -of official evidence as to our size.-It will help in attracting new investments to the district, in assuring- a fair adjustment of grants which are made on a population basis, and in convincing Victoria that we are alert to what is going- on down tht-re.
