The Civic Election of Mrs. Nora Arnold as mayor RE-ELECTION with a substantial majority and the success, with but one notable exception, of independent over labor candidates in the aldermanic contest were the outstanding features of Prince Rupert's annual civic election in which a healthy interest was manifested by the voters who turned out in record heavy numbers. Mrs. Arnold had given good service in her first .year as chief magistrate and it was fitting enough that the electors should have expressed their approval thereof by sending her back to the mayoral chair for a two-year term, thus affording her the opportunity of leading in carrying on the work she has been .instrumental in starting. The year 1947 has seen a start made on postwar reconstruction planning for the city. The coming year should see considerable accomplishments achieved along those lines although the program of necessities is so large that everything cannot be fairly expected to be done. However, there is a competent aldermanic board which, with the mayor, should be able to see that the fullest advantage is taken of all the opportunities. A notable feature of the aldermanic contest was the fact that Labor, which otherwise fell by the wayside, should have succeeded in placing the per-enially popular veteran George Rqdderham at the top of the poll, indicating that his support was of a more general character than being exclusively Labor. Aid. T. B. Black, who has already given sound service, goes back and there is new aldermanic blood in J. R. Morin and W. P. Stone. Two young men W. J. Scott and A. J. Dominate had no difficulty, in capturing the school board seats. All the winners are to be congratulated. Now their job is, to prove up. There will be plenty of work to be done to occupy their energies and problems Jo be laced to tax their ability. Their efforts will be watched with critical but, it is to be hoped, helpful interest WHY,' UNION STEAMSHIPS? IT IS Nti'WCftCBtfJf tlia'tthferesHotild be.aifcazed I indignation all along the coast at the precipitate action of Union Steamships Ltd. in drastically fMlttinn- its Rprvi'pps nnr nnlv hftwppn Vnnpnnvpr N and Prince Rupert, which points are not entirely dependent upon this company for their connection, ' but to lesser points which have no other service than that accorded by this1 veteran and so long esteemed concern. We refer particularly to such points around these parts as Port Simpson and Stewart and the Queen Charlotte Islands which H .. have been cut to the lowest frequency of calls than , have had in many a year. " Prince Rupert Chamber of Commerce is losing j. no time in making vigorous representations since it is obvious that the changes involve not only real fej hardship in many directions but much loss of busi ness for this port. We are most anxious that there should be rto dimunition of the facilities of giving service to points on this part of the coast which : are directly tributary to the city and should be ' permitted to continue so. The Union Steamship Co. over the years has built up an enviable quantity of goodwill for its un--: remitting and friendly service to the ports of im-:- portance as well as the most inconsequential nooks and crannies of the coast. Only recently it had - been expanding along broader iines and did not .. seem to be. doing so badly. It is difficult to understand why by action so precipitate and seemingly ill-considered at this, that in one swoop, it would undo it all. It is because the company is so highly regarded by reason jdi its past irood and faithful service that , the protest at what it is now doing to its old friends is not eVen more vigorous. It is to be honed that the appeals which are being made do not fall upon deaf ears... We had never evpected anything like this from Union Steamships and find it hard to take. r CHRISTMAS TRF.R RI.QIIUFCQ IT'S big business while it lasts this Christmas tree boom. It is reckoned this season that not less than a 'million will be cut and shipped to meet the needs of North America. For the tree is a "must" if Yuletide is to be observed in tlie right spirit and with traditional environment. The Christmas tree is q matter-of-fact tradfi hut. for th:it. mar.rpr. n Inrrro nrnnnvti'nn nf I'll December industry is also that. On the United States market, the price of a tree is reported to be from $3 to $10 and some cutters are said to make as much as $25 a day. ?
