Prince Rupert Rupert, Rupert, thou storm tossed port, Born of the fog and the rain; Bred and matured through rugged trials, Taking your lesj with your gain. Struggling along for a decade, Bravely making your stand, With only a handful of loyal To fight by your side for your plan. Wealth you could offer in plenty, To those of the courage and brawn; The others you sought to discourage, You needed the best, riot the fpawn. Little by little you nursed them, The men that you chose for your own, Oave them the fish frcm your waters, Gave them your woods for their home. Brighter and brighter, your beacon grew, Till it pierced thru obscurity's veil, And at last you were hailed as a hero, ' By many a faraway sail. Yet you rested not on your laurels, Steady and true is your aim, And some day frcm ocean to ocean, The breezes will echo your name. C.G.N. (I, agree with Mr. Ditb's viewpoint. of Prince Rupert and second his motion that scmething should be done about our prestige).

South Africa and New Zealand have a 14-year plan for wool. They have agreed to fix minimum prices for all wool sold in the three dominions while the stocks accumulated in the war are worked off. It is expected that this will take 14 years. Each Dominion will buy and hold all its wool that comes on the, world market at less than the minimum prices. The Aus tralian and British governments will bear half the cost of doing , this; the wool-growing industry in Australia, New Zealand and South Africa will find the other half. Australia, New Zealand and South Africa now have piled up wool stocks to the value of $715,000,000. Of these Australia has 63 percent, South 'Africa 20 and New Zealand 17, While 14 years has been set as the time that it will probably take to get back to normal the exact period depends on the amounts of wooi held In the United States,-South America and other wool-growing regions.

Whifflets From The Waterfront 1 Cassiar First Northern Steamship to Revert to Peacetime Colors Pilotage Being Reduced Here First of the north coastal steamships to revert from the old drab erev wartime coat to the bright colors of peacetime is the veteran Cassiar, Capt. Lome Godfrey, of the Queen Charlotte Island service which was in port during the week-end on her regular voyage, arriving Friday morning from Vancouver via the south end of the Islands, leaving' Friday midnight for Massett Inlet, returning here early yesterday morning and sailing last evening on her return south. The Casslar's funnel Is back to the regular red with black top and the pilot house has been repainted the regulation white. Repalnng is being-carried on by the snip s crew en-route and, by the time she gets back here again two weeks hence, she will probably be completely repainted. Wartime safety equipment such as the catpulting life rafts are being retained, however, as naval authorities still recognize the possibility of drifting mines. The Casslar's southbound cargo from the Islands included 500 sacks of cones being shipped from Massett to Vancouver for reforestation purposes abroad. Union steamer Cata.la, Capt. Ernest Sheppard, was in port 'in good time at 7:30 last evening from Vancouver and waypolnts, sailing early this morning for Stewart and other northern points whence she will return here tomorrow morning southbound. The Catala had a bumper cargo of 210 tons of freight for Prince Rupert. To be stationed here for the coming month as a pilot, Capt. W. W. Moun.ce arrived this afternoon on the Princess Adelaide from Vancouver. He is relieving Capt. Andrew Johnstone who Is returning to Nanalmo after having been here for the past month Only one, pilot is now stationed here instead of two as' previously. The pilot boat, which had been located here during the rush of merican wartime shipping has jeen taken back to Vancouver.

HARD HIT BY WAR, FRANCE WORKS PAINFULLY (Continued from Page 1) ing rapidly restored. But because of a vicious circle (lack of coal cutting down steel production, which reduces the output of machinery) it will be a long time before railways can achieve pre-war performance again. Between September of 1939 and September of 1944, France lost (or herself destroyed) five-sixths of her locomotives, four-fifths of her passenger cars and two-thirds of her freight cars. Bombs, shells and the French underground knocked put over 2,000 miles of roadbed's. Actual combat destroyed some factories and damaged others but hundreds of miles away from the nearest battlefleds there are wrecked factories. British and American bombers got them or ihey were blcwn up Dy resistance fighters. Still others are idle or working only partially because the Germans removed machinery or ecause there are no new parts available. The French government originally gave machinery a higher priority than food In lt3 request for help from the United States. But if the average Frenchman feels that Americans are Indifferent to his needs he has not seen statistics for American assistance the first s'x months of this year. These include 131,000 tons of wheat, 70,000 tons of cotton, 13,-000 tons of cattle fodder, 30,000 tons of soya beans, 22,000 tons of legumes, 38,000 tons cf minerals ahd metals, 122,000 tons of steel, 59,000 tons of building-materials, 44.003 tons of sugar, 75,000 tons of sulphur, and 26,000 tons of wool. With a general election coming in October, France's Socialists and Communists unquestionably have gained strength. This was shown In the municipal elections. The Leftists have directly challenged De Gaulle's proposal for a new government and a new constitution. If France rejects the proposals It will, probably be accurate evidence that the French Communists and Socialists dominate the country.
