CNR dismantling plan may benefit city

AC first glance the announcement by

the Canadian National Railways
that the company plans to dismantle
its:present dock -and shift its opera-
tiohs and facilities to the Ocean dock
would appear to foreshadow another
reverse in Prince Rupert fortunes. On
second thought, however, the move
should be a welcome one as it should
lead to greater development of the
city’s water front. .

“That is a strange statement to
make because when Prince Rupert got
its:start, the CNR or Grand Tr unk

that was going to become a second. San

Now with air travel driving steam-
ships into drydock, the ‘CNR, like any

other prudent business man or firm,
can see the handwriting on the wall. :

Manning and operating a passenger
ship costs a lot of money. They hadn’t
made money for years before the
weekly service was disbanded. For
the same reason, why spend $48,000 a

other, better one will suffice. It is

INTERPRETING THE NEWS

whgle they have a responsihil-
ity to notify next-of-kin im-
mediately, they have no right
to withhold victims’ names.
The armed forces, unfortu-
nately, are still working under
wartime rules. Canadian

friends of NATO pilots involve |

ed in accidents while training
in Canada are sometimes not
informed for two weeks after

who were killed could have
been any of hundrds; the
medical man could have been
any of dozens, and the wom-
an hospital patient could have

dead persons, anxiety ts often
caused to families not affected,
