YUKON EISHOP LEADS SERVICES Rt. Rev. W. A. Geddes, Bishop of Yukon, was a visitor in the city on Sunday and Monday, leaving by Monday night's train for Vancouver. On Sunday morning he conducted services at St. Andrew's Cathedral and in the evening he officiated at the confirmation service at St. Peter's Church. Seal Cove, in which 12 young people were confirmed. Those confirmed were Charles Graham, James' Henimons, Vaughan Tattersal, Ned Tobey, Lavlnia Elliott, Patricia Tumll-son, Shirley Charleston, Donna Kerrlghan, Lorraine Barbe, Mary Adcock, May Leask and Kay Toombs. AUDIENCES INCREASE Audiences have been highly gratifying at the, lectures being held here by Prof. Basil Matthews, director of Union Theological Seminary in Vancouver, on international Christian relationships. The large number of service men attending was a notable feature. Tuesday night those present at First Presbyterian Church included CoL J. H. Mel-lom, commanding officer of Prince Rupert sub-port of embarkation, and Very Rev. James B. Gibson, dean of St. Andrew's Anglican Cathedral and Bishop-Elect of Caledonia. Rev. A. F. MacSween was In the chair. Prof. Matthews pointed out that this very day the first signature to the great charter of international peace and security at the San Francisco conference had been made by brush and ink on behalf of China by Dr. Wellington Koo, graduate of a Christian university. Twenty-four hours earlier in China an even more distinguished Chinese Christian, Da. T. V. Soong, brother of Madame Chiang Kai-Shek, had become premier of China. These two events symbolized the fact that the Chinese church was nnt? nn uninfluential group but was the centre or the nation's life in the most formative period in all its history. By personal stories of intimate Chinese friends, Prof. Matthews showed the heroism, initiative and creative leadership that China was getting today from its Christians. Furthermore, Prof. Matthews referred to how Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek had recently said that the courage and self-sacrifice with which missionariesCanadian, British and American had thrown em-selves into helping Chinese refugees and orphans and educating a new leadership for tomorrow revealed their value to the nations of the world. TO ALL NEWLY DISCHARGED fflk SERVICEMEN THE ROYAL BANK OF CANADA PRINCE RUPERT BRANCH A; FLATEN, Manager LETTERBOX FUTURE OF DRY DOCK The Editor, Dally News, Following Is a copy of letter sent to the Chamber of Commerce of April 12, 1945. No acknowledgement has been received, so It is to be assumed they are not interested. In view of recent developments In Vancouver resulting in congestion of ship-bulldlng and cargo handling some spirited effort should be made to secure some of this business, and, if the Chamber of Commerce Is not interested, perhaps there is some other public spirited bbdy who would be interested. "Secretary, "Chamber of Commerce, "Prince Rupert. "Having read In the press of your efforts to Increase the amount of ship repair work in Prince Rupert, and also to share in the cargo handling, you may find the following comments useful: "Advantages Prince Rupert can justifiably claim that it should receive favorable consideration In its request for a considerable share of such repair work and shipping. We have a large, deep and well protected harbor. Further, we are 400 miles nearer Asia than any other North American port with transcontinental railway connections. "Repairs The local dry dock Is splendidly equipped to handle repairs. It has a very competent and experienced staff, and on a Competitive basis compares very favorably with Vancouver yards. But it needs very strong action to overcome Vancouver competition. "Handling of Carpo The questionnaire submitted by the Russian agent to yourselves is very tiertinent and shows that he is fully alive as to what Is necessary for the speedy and economical handling of car,go. In this connection, the port w6uld need additional and modern equipment and facilities. "Wharfage A modern dock of approximately 2tt0 000 square ft. is necessary to handle an approximate general cargo of 10,000 tons. As far as I am a aware, the Ocean dock, at present occupied by the U.S.A., is the only cargo dock in Prince Rupert and this Is woefully inadeauate In up-to-date handling facilities. "Equipment A general cargo dock needs at least two 5-ton cranes to facilitate the loading of cargo. Ships of course have their own winches, but it Is often necessary to use two cranes in one hatch, and economical handling is the essence of mpdern b u s 1 ri e 's s. I know of ohe"case where by more efficient organization, the cost of handling cargo was reduced from 32'c. to 12i?e. a ton. "Trackage Railway trackage is also a very Important matter for the rapid and economic switching of cars. With some classes of freight, such as lead, zinc, flour, apples, as many as 200 cars are frequently loaded on one boat at an average speed of 5 cars iper hour. Wherever possible much cargo is loaded direct from cars to hatches of boat. This requires trackage between shed and shlo and eliminates trucking freight through shed which Is a costly procedure. "Jitneys, Dollies, etc. Jitneys, dollies and cargo boards have eliminated the old method of trundling freight on hand trucks. A visit to Ballantyne Pier at Vancouver would show something of what Is reaulred for a modernly equipped pier and I would suggest that some of your members examine such a pier. A Dominion-wide Matter There Is no doubt but that unlimited business can develop with the Far East. This will effect not only this community, but the Province and the Dominion will also sland to benefit. It is therefore very prclbable that the Dominion Goverment would be interested in having the dockage, facilities and equipment here of the most modern type. All would benefit by aggressive action. "Wishing you every success In your efforts." T. II.

LEADERSHIP IS INDIA'S NEED Prof. Matthews Belives This tan Dc 1 ruviucu uy iiiiann- ity in New Self-Governing ! Rule When India secures free self- governing status the greatest of all her needs will be leadership ( which will desire to serve and not exploit the people in a demo- ! cratlc constitution, Prof. Basil Matthews told another public i meeting In First Presbyterian ; Church last nignt as ne spose i on the leadership of the new In- j dla In the light of current dis- j cusslons between the ViceRoy, General Wavell, and Indian leaders. The speaker, maintain ing that there was a swift growth of the Indian Christian community, proportionately more rapid than any other religious community In India, said that a new and Intelligent rank and f lid of citizenship was being created, especially in the rural population which comprised 80 to 90 percent of the great Indian nation. There were already great Christian leaders develocing who might provide that required leadership. The. very Idea of democracy had never entered the minds of any Indian before the coming of Fritaln and he' "duration, the speaker said. All Indlan( history had been a history of despotic rule until 193"i when provincial self-government had been given with cabinets selected by popular vote. Prof. Matthews gave evidence from his personal observations In every part of India, observations that were highly Interesting, that Indian education was beginning to produce men and women who believed In equality, who had Integrity and were free from corruption and who could In civic and national life help to build a sound democracy. John E. Davey presided at the organ to accompany the hymns. The benediction was nronounced by Rev. J. A. Donnell, pastor of First United Church. The church was well filled with an arroreciatlve audience.
