No serious difficulties have arisen which were not soluble on a basis of common sense and good will. There have been from time to time quite divergent attitudes as between the American and Canadian sides of the conference table. But these have always been reconciled. Up to now, there has been a genuine meeting of mind. CLOTHES and SH01 Time To Move Wounded Asked Radio-Telephone Plans ALTHOUGH it requires a technician to understand fully the North-West Telephone Company's plans for improving radio-telephone ser-" vice in this area, one important fact which can he appreciated by all is the intention to centralize the service in Prince Rupert. ' , Since the city is the home oi' a ereat fishing-industry and headquarters of the district's Indian affairs branch, there are special reasons why it should be considered the base of operations for such a system. Vet its surrounding topography is by no means ideally suited to radio communications, and any company undertaking the project might easily find excuses to make a less satisfactory arrangement. To overcome .the difficulty, North-West Telephone is thinking of establishing medium frequency sending and receiving stations in the relatively unobstructed locale of Masset. Connection with Prince Rupert would then be maintained by the -VHF link which is as reliable as ; .clephone line in the service it provides. To serve logging interests on the Charlotte?, K SI is also planned to install VHP facilities at Queen -Charlotte City. In addition, the magic of VHP is expected to bring Prince Rupert and Kitimat in touch by radio-telephone with Vancouver. Of course, there are certain immediate problems to be met. One of the most serious affects ship-to-shore communications in this area. Because radio waves have a strange way of bouncing off the upper atmosphere and returning to earth hundreds of miles away, Prince 'Rupert fishermen at sea frequently find their wireless communications interrupted by traffic emanating from Astoria, Washington. This has been known to drow n out radio talk right in Prince Rupert harbor 1 nterference from Ketchikan is also ex-yevienceo. : ' liut ""North-West Telephone appears determined that this area, which is so dependent on 'radio-telephone service, will get what it wants.
