B,kSlrd Street CornM1Urlce Prince Rupert is in danger of losing benefit of the ,$G0,000 shipping subsidy j approved by the federal j government last summer unless local groups exert pressure on Ottawa to have it put to use. This warning was sounded sharply Wednesday afternoon by O. W, Nlckerson, Prince Rupert broker, on his return from a four-month business trip to Eastern Canada. "That money is available but It won't be used to subsidize shipping from this port unless the people of Prince Rupert put pressure on the government to do so." Mr. Nlckerson asserted. "The Chamber of Commerce should nd wires to the Minister of Trade and Commerce Immediately Time Is getting short." Unless the subsidy Is used be-forr the end of the government Mr. Nlckerson said that he found business conditions ex-j trcmcly acUve both In Eastern Canada and the United States, fklost difficult thing to obtain on both sides of Wie line was hotel accommodation, he said. Excepl-forweatWch-ls-still scarce and high priced, goods In New York City are of comparable price to similar products in Canada, he said. The Marftlmcs enjoyed a good fishing year, he commented, but activity slowed down m the fall when the fish became dlfflcu?. to catch. FORMER LOCAL SCIENTIST TO GT. BRITAIN E. P.

BOYS O.K.- MEN WRONG Boy Scout Commissioner Appeals to Local JVIen to Get Actively Behind Boys' Wcrk "There Is nothing wrong with boys today. It's the men." So said R. Kenneth Jordan of Van couver, executive ccrnmiisioncr of the Boy Scouts Association of British Columbia, in (speaking before the Trince Rupert Gyro Club at Its weekly luncheon yes terday. He appealed for the active support and Interest of such citizens, as Gyro members in -ni eating. .. the xhallcngeI vouth today. They might well discharge their responsibilities In this regard by taxing a leading part in the proposed revival of Boy Scout activities in Prince Rupert. Mr. Jordan spoke of the growing focus of attention upon youth and its training. Even ln this country there were agencies today making a big bid for youth agencies such as these of the totalitarian elements in other nations a few years ago. It would be well If something real and Immediate was done about this. Always remembering that the boy was the "small man" of today who would be taking over the jobs of the world tomorrow, It should be realized that the time had arrived to pay a great deal more attention to the boy and his development. The speaker recognized the home, the church and the school as the .dominating Influence upon boys. The fourth Vheel or agency was boys' work. There was a sreat deal more to a program of boys work than merely keeping boys off the streets. Most important was the development of attitude, the activities along tcchlnical lines being a means to the end of moral training. Turning to Boy Scouting, Mr. Jordan described as its primary nurnosc the development of good citizenship self-reliant and res ponsible citizenship, In tne i" Scout movement, a spiritual foundation was insisted upon and the curricula was such as to leave some obstacles for the boys to surmount ' Mr. Jordan referred to Boy Scout work as a war casualty in rrincc Rupert but he hoped ror an early revival In the city and expressed the hope mat ins leadership necessary would bo readily forthcoming. President W. D. Lambie was ln the chair and guests, in addition to the speaker, included Olor Hanson and Petty Officer Gerald Freeman of H.M.C.S. Chatham. Dr. R. G. Large urged Gyro members to activity ln the sale of Civic Centre membership? and David Allen outlined final plans for Apple Day on Satur day when apples will be sold singly and ln boxes as a prelude to Hallowe'en ln aid of the club's playground fund. Return of Ocean Dock to GN. May Mean Warehouse Deal' Off Possibility that Northwest Salvage Co.'s deal to take over the former American warehouse and ocean dock here for foreign shipping purposes may have fallen through was indicated, here today with reports that the original portion of the ocean dock has been ordered returned to Canadian National Rail ways by War Assets Corporation. The report comes at the close of the period for which the Calgary company had an option on the big warehouse and other U.S. army-built waterfront facilities.! The.oojion lyporiecuy expires, av midnight' tonfght, and. so far, there hfis been no word of the, option being taken up. Lending support to the brief that the deal may have fizzled out is the fact that two representatives of the Calgary company who visited the city two months ago have not returned to the city despite the suggestion that they would bring back definite proposals before the option period expired. Rumors were current In the city this morning that the option had been taken up by Northwest Salvage Cc but no information could be unearthed NEW LIBRARY FINE PLACE The new quarters for the Prince Rupert Public Library in the Civic Centre have more than come up to expectations. There is considerably more floor space, allowing better arranging of the shaves, and the general surroundings make the accommodation mos attractive and enjoyable. There seems to be' a feeling among some citizens that they must be rhemoers of the Civic Centre before they may use the public llbratry. Tills is not the case. Everyone is entitled to become a member of the library. These were some of the points discussed at tne mecjlng of the library board last evening. In the month of September there were 1,111 books in circulation. There are Z.OiS borrowers in tne Ho rary. Owing to the limited num ber of days the library was open on account of the moving from ihc old building to the new these figures were lower than usual but indicate that there Is a large reading public in the city. There arc 9,403 books in the library now. Thlrty-clght new books were purchased during the month. Five new books were received by gifts. i The usual accounts were passed for payment and while the cost of moving and the erection of nrw shelves turned out to be more than had been anticipated yet the board agreed that the whole cspense was well Justified. Those ln attendance were Aid. Nora Arnold, chairman; Mrs. M M. Roper, Miss Olive Van Cooten, librarian, and Bruce Stevens and J. S. Wilson. to substantiate it. Meanwhile, the Dally News learned authoritatively that the original portion of the ocean dock! built by the C.N.R., ha3 railway, ompany which has been seeking Its return for some time. Materials stored In that section by War Assets Corporation and by Highway Construction Co. must be removed from the dock shortly, the Dally News was informed. The western section of the ocean: dock, some 400 feet in length, built by the American government during the war, is not affected by the transfer and presumably remains the same status in the hands of War Assets as the big warehouse which stands on the opposite side of, the tracks.

EARLY CIVILIZATION Prehistoric Pueblo Indians raised pinto beans In New Mexico hundreds of years before the Spanish conquerors arrived. Typical of the many worthwhile efforts of dally newspapers a six-year traffic safety record of 68 deathless days was set in a southern U.S. centre, spurred on by a campaign of the local dally newspaper. Prince Rupert Going South Annual Overhaul of C.N.R. Vessel to Be Done Down Coast Instead of at Pr. Rupert C. N. R. steamer Prince Rupert is to be withdrawn rom service at Vancou-nn November 16 to receive annual inspection and overhaul in a southern yard, it was learned today from Bernard Allen, assistant general, superintendent Canadian National Railways, Vancouver, former manager of the local dry dock, who is in the city in the course of an inspection trip. Mr. Allen is meeting the execu-tive'of the Prince Rupert Chamber of Commerce this afternoon to explain the situation to them. Interviewed by the Dally News this morning, Mr. Allen explain- ed that, normally, it would take six weeks to two months to give the vessel annual overhaul at Prince Rupert and would require from 150 to 175 men. In Vancouver, he said, the work could be done in three weeks with a crew of 250 to 300 men already iri the yards there. Mr. Allen referred to the urgency fpr speed so that the lapse of service would be of a minimum length and also to the increasing difficulty of carrying out such repair worfc. It would be absolutely im possible," said Mr. Allen "to do the work here in three -weeks. We. Just could not get the men together to do the Job in less than six -weeks or two months. TCehiTVe took theffltf-lmt tt service for that length of time, there -would be complaints over the lack of service. The matter has been given fullest consideration and the conclusion reached that it would be in the best interests of all to keep the ship in service with as little Interruption as necessary. If we had another ship, it might be different but, unfortunately, we have not another." Mr. Allen erpressed hope that there would be an early resumption of grain shipments into the Prlnrp Rnnprt plpvn t.nr hut st.at.prf that, as far as he knew, there had been no loadings yet for Prince Rupert although it had been reported that a quota of 1CO.000.000 bushels was coming to the coast and the movement to Vancouver was already commenced. "Grain shipments to Prince Rupert," said Mr. Allen, "would fit in very well with the east-bound traffic of lumber originating from sawmills of the csn- tral interior. We would like to see it." Mr. Allen had no ' light to throw on the situation as to the disposition of the big warehouse here built by the United States Army during the war and is now ln the hands of War Assets.

On the other hand,, a plebiscite taken where the com-munlss party is in power is regarded as the sacred voice of the people. Mr. Attlee said that resolution pending before the Congress criticizing British foreign policy was "filled with the kind of misrepresentation to which we have been accustomed to from members of the communist party, their dupes and fellow travellers." He said that Britain was attempting to co-operate with all nations by bolstering the authority of the United Nations and was "not following selfish and imperialistic aims.'' The present isolation of Russia was entirely Russia's fault. The resolution criticizes the government for deteriorating relations with Russia and cooperation with capitalistic Am erica. Mr. Attlee was disturbed over a "war of ignorance and suspicion." DR. NEAL CARTER STILL IN JAPAN Dr. If. M.
