 Reduce Customs Delays
 The Prince Rupert Chamber in- troduced a resolution that com mittee of the Cabinet be establish ed which will handle quickly all cases of unnecessary delay and in- convenience of persons travelling be- tween the United States and Can ada. The committee would have the authorization to rectify cases ot unnecessary inconvenience.
 Kenneth G. Kadow, Director of the Alaska Field Committee, sug- gested that similar resolution be sent to the appropriate American officials on this same matter and the Prince Rupert resolution was so amended.
 Gov. Ernest Gruening cited the Jones Act as one of the barriers that exist between the two coun- tries and which tends to slow down travel and trade. He summed ur the efforts of Senator Hugh Butler and Senator Homer Capehart te have the Jones Act repealed at the last session of Congress. The other resolutions that were passed upon at the Wednesday af- ternoon session were concerned with local matters of Central British Columbia.

NEW INDUSTRY MAY up POPULATION OF
 PRINCE RUPERT, B. {.
By. G. ALEX HUNTER Managing Editor, Prince Rupert
 Daily News

Before 1899 a struggling fishing town of six thousand people, its strategic position in the Pacific theatre not unknown tut still un- recognized, Prince Rupert, which became an armed camp, embarka- ton center and producer of war ships and merchant vessels during World War II with population bounding up to 25,000, looks to the establishment by the Celanese Cor poration of America of a 250-tor acetate oellulose pulp mill plant al nearby Port Edward as the factor which within two years will make it thriving industrial and shipping metropolis of at least 20,o00 per sons-a population about double o1 what it now boasts
 In short, the advent of the Gel anese Corporation and it's S25,000,- GOO plant in Prince Rupert will mark a turning point in the economic ca reer of this northern British Co., lumbia coast city and the immedi- ate district for which it is admins tratiye and business center.
 Of double-b -barrelled benefit, the celanese mill will provide a direct payroll of upwards of 500 persons al the Port Edward plant, eight miles along the Canadian National Railway line from Prince Rupert while it will provide employment for well over another five hundred in the forests around Terrace, 90 miles further along the line in the interior, where the company is al- ready taking steps to organize log ging of spruce, hemlock and balsam on forest management-susta yield tasis for which contracts have been signed with tke provincial government.
 At the Watson Island tPort Ed Iward) mill site an excavation con- tract, which cost over half a million dollars, has been completed. Dia- mond drilling is now proceeding fol i a great water line from Prudhommt
 Lake. about six miles distant, by means of which the water require.
 ments of the plant will be sup
 piled. Recently it was announced
 that contracts would be let ant
 construction work started by Oc
 tober on the mill buildings includ
 ing coal steam electric general. ing plant. The steel is already ol ,order. The construction work itsel is eXproportions at Prince Ruper during the coming fall and win tier.
 ] As for the possible impact of tn, new industry on Prince Rupert there is a reason to believe that i
 will be instrumental in the sparkin lof secondary industries at the DOT which, in turn, will increase it's i'm lportance as shipping center.
