Important Community Event The inauguration tomorrow of 3rince Rupert's civic centre, culmina-ion of a long-cherished undertaking ;ovards which we have assiduously vorked these many years, will indeed nark an epoch in the community life )f Prince Rupert. We rejoice with the rest of citi-:ens in the acquisition of such a iplendid structure as the Y.M.C.A. var services building which will make m ideal venue for almost any and avery form of community activity. There we will be able to carry on a .vide diversity of undertakings in the spheres of recreation, entertainment, culture, education and discussion. It is almost completely self-contained as far as facilities are concerned. , With our good fortune in acquiring this ready-made building, we are, however, undertaking a large responsibility in keeping it properly running and maintained. However, if ,we fully appreciate the benefits to be: derived by each and every one of us: in some way or another to say nothing of the general community benefit we should be prepared to afford the sustained support financially and possibly otherwise which it vill be required of us as good citizens to give. It will be a continuing responsibility but, if we carry on the same community interest and energy. in maintaining our civic centre as we had in promoting it and everyone cooperates and does his share in supporting a community asset which might well be considered quite as important a utility as our schools, our streets and pur other services, we may be confident that the civic centre. .toU flourish permanently and fulfil a community function of which we have long dreamed. So, we wish good luck to the Civic Centre on the occasion of its formal opening. ; .

Sons of Erin whether they have kissed the Blarney Stone., in County Cork or not will be fluently persuasive in extolling the virtues of their patron Saint Patrick on his feast day tomorrow. New admirers of the Emerald Isle and its great men -are found among the troops who spent leave there during the war and while awaiting "that boat." Men with "Canada" on their tunics received a warm welcome there when the border was opened to uniforms again recently. During the war many had visited Eire in civilian dress. Canadians of Irish descent will be wearing the green, carefully pulling on clay pipes and agreeing on one of the few subjects which they find above controversy that March 17 should be a day of honor to the fifth country saint. But it was not ever this. At one time Irishmen split on the question of the anniversary of the death of St. Patrick at the Abbey Saul in County Down. One group said it was March 9 and another March 8. With a good eye for Hibernian compromise, a Father Mulcahey is said to have cleared up the controversy by adding eight and nine, satisfying both factions. France. Wales, Scotland and Ireland have been named as St. Patrick's birthplace but it is fairly certain that he was a captive swineherd amortg the hills of Down at the beginning of the fifth century. Escaping from Emerald Isle he wandered to Rome where he entered the priesthood and was sent by Pope Celestine to preach in Ireland. St. Patrick is said to have established 365 churches, and baptized more than 12,000 persons in the course of his missionary work. While speaking at Tara he immortalized the shamrock when he held it up as an example of the dogma of Trinity showing the possibility of three in one and one in three. Some authorities link the shamrock with the legend of the saint's prowess as a banisher of snakes and toads. Pliny in his "Natural History" says the' trefoil, similar to the trifoliate emblem of Ireland, prevails against the sting of snakes and scorpions. Whatever its powers may be, "himself" and "herself" will be sportin' the shamrock come .the top of the mornin'. A free press and a dictator cannot exist In the same country. "Where people aim at destroying free discussion', they must be regarded as ripe for destruction themselves John MUton. Milton. . "I CONTINUOUS ! SUPPORT NEEDED "It Is evident from our new-papers that the predicted crime wave, the aftermath of the long war years is sweeping Canada. 'That the perpetrators of many of these crimes are mere children is indeed alarming. An important movement is now on in Prince Rupert to help prevent the development of ' this wave here. It Is the establishment of Pro-Rec facilities which include organized sport programs such as archery, volley ball and badminton,' hobby groups, such as woodcraft, leather work, plexiglass art, chess and checker clubs, and cultural activities such as drama groups, play reading, public presentations, outdoor summer theatre, music appreciation, young peoples, band, swing club and orchestra. "The movement Is worthy of the support it Is receiving and is something that every person in the community may well become actively Interested in." From a Dally News editorial September 19, 1945. Recreation Board officials now believe that such support Is more vital than ever and urge the citizens of Prince Rupert to continue advancing it. The unity which this city showed during the past month in making solid representation to the federal government to overcome the Army's move to have the Civic Centre building turned into an armory La au indication of their awareness of the value of the building. It Is hoped tliat this unity will be a permanent thin?. MOOSE TO VISIT HERE About 20 members of the Ketchikan Moose Lodge, both men and women, will pay a goodwill visit to Prince Rupert late next week and will be guests of the local Moose lodge and women's chapter, local governor D. G. Wood was advlyd Friday afternoon. The visitors will arrive on Friday in a chartered .boat and will remain until Sunday. Functions are being planned lh their honor by the local lodges and will include a banquet in the Knights of Columbus Hall probably on Saturday night. "It is a revival of the. old friendly spirit between, .the two cities which existed years ago when visits were frequtnt." Mr. Wood commented. "It is some thing that we hope to revive on 'T'lIAT G It I: AT DAY is getting closer when the "ford in your future" will arrive in your town.

Pattullo. who started his career as a newspaperman back In Woodstock, Ontario, before he came west in the Gold Rush days to become for almost half a century one of British Columbia's most prominent figures, finally achieving to the Premiership of the province, Is back In newspaper work again. The Dally News Is pleased to announce that Mr. Pattullo has agreed to supply us with his commentary from the press gallery at the Legislature In Victoria. It will be presented dally as long as the session lasts). VICTORIA (By-T. D. Pattullo) The building up of government-owned power and service plants In rural areas will finally tesult in a flash of interests with the metropolitan centres. Already there has been talk of bonusing rural schemes in order to give them cheaper rales. The whole so heme should be integrated as far as physically possible. This problem came to the fore many years ajo but at that time our population was small and the situation was hardly comparable to Ontario which in topography and population lends itself the moie readily to combat organizations. Sooner or later the British Columbia Electric will be taken over by the province. It would seem that this facjor might considerably retard the B.C. Klectiic in its operation WHAT Prince Rupert Needs (The Seventh of a series of suggestions by readers of the Daily News for the bettrrmeiit of this city). To begin with the streets of Prince Rupert need a great deal of repair work done on them. With the money the city spent in having men go around filling In holes with gravel and tar, fifty percexit of the streets In the city could have been resiyfacrd. In conjunction with the fisheries and the many places of -business in Prince Rupert, the city ooukl well use a paper box factory. The city needs more place of amusement such as an let-skating rink which could easily be put up near one of the fisheries plants where Ice could be easily obtained. Prince Rupert also needs a rol- ler skating rink to which use one of the staff houses could be very well put. A pulp mill would be a; great help. We have both the timber and labor. Such a nlant would not ftilly provide work for those (In the city but those now In other parts of the country. All we need is for the men a long Aerm. basis."
