Wednesday, August 2, 194" i EDITORIAL HELP YOURSELF Who are the public? Why, they are your friends, acquaintances, men and women in and out of the news, and yourself and family. Too frequently this fact is overlooked. If a newsgatherer should meet 50 persons a day in any city and should put the inquiry, "Any news?" most of those 50 would reply, "ISIo-o-o, I guess not," when, at the same time they might know of a number of interesting happenings that would ..help" make the paper just what everyone wishes it to be, a paper full of the news of the community and district. So if the item you expect to see in print is not there, it should be your concern to see that you advise The Daily News' staff of the next matter of interest or bit of news that comes your way. CIVIC HISTORY MADE Another chapter in the city's civic history was written last night as mayors and aldermen, past and present, gathered to pay tribute to Mr. and Mrs. Frank Vickers prior to their departure for England to make their new home. At a Testimonial dinner, speakers praised the couple as outstanding citizens of this community and went on to eulogize on the contribution made to the city's administration by Mr. Vickers, retiring treasurer, since he joined the city hall staff in 1919. Deep sincerity was evident in the words of each speaker. We can expect action from the letter of At-tornev-Oeneral R. L. Ma if land to Minister of Health Ian Mackenzie asking that Dicrby Island Hospital be converted into an institution for the care of venereal disease patients among the Indians. Salt Lakes across the harbor -have long been' an ideal swimming and picnicking ground Therefore it ns wise' to treat it with respect and vigilantly guard .that area against fire. , Picnickers started a fire there last Sunday ana went away to. leave the flames to burn around a stump. Fortunately, little, damage other than marring of the tree trunk resulted. If we are to enjoy the grounds around the Salt Lakes to the fullest we must be alert to the havoc unattended fires can do. Those who enjoy the Sunday band concerts should be happy to comply with the request that they take care when on the Court House green not to damage flowers or plants and not to litter the grounds with paper, More men smoke Picobdc than an other Pipe Tobacco in Canada SUPPORT THE PIONEERS' HOME PRESCRIPTION HEADQUARTERS Down through the years, almost since Prince Rupert first existed, we have served the people.
