A
TREMENDOUS
JOB
This
war
work
is
a
tremendous
job.
It
is
a
complete
change
from
the
routine
governmental
operations.
In
Great
Britain
they
had
been
expecting
war
for
some
time
and
yet
it
is
complained
that
they
were
not
ready
when
the
combat
actually
commenced.
In
Canada
it
was
also
ex
pected
that
we
should
be
at
war
soon
but
very
little
was
done
in
the
way
of
preparation.
Everybody
realizes
that
it
is
a
big
job
changing
from
a
peace
time
basis
to
a
war
time
basis
but
it
is
also
realized
that
the
work
has
to
be
tackled
energetically
and
thoroughly.
We
are
now
in
the
fourth
month
of
the
war
and
should
at
least
have
uniforms
for
the
enlisted
men
by
this
time.
Still
we
must
remember
that
there
is
no
factory
in
Canada
particularly
suited
for
this
work
and
that
it
takes
time
to
get
a
new
industry
established.
AUSTRALIA'S
GESTURE
Australia
is
about
to
spend
twenty
million
pounds
on
an
air
force
for
the
Empire
as
well
as
upkeep
of
the
force
for
three
years
amounting
in
all
to
fifty
million
pounds
or
approximately
two
hundred
and
fifty
million
dollars.
She
will
build
her
own
planes,
except
those
used
in
preliminary
training,
and
will
train
most
of
her
men
in
her
own
coun
try
instead
of,
as
previously
arranged,
sending
them
to
vanaua.
f
iew
it
is
pianneu
to
send
to
Canada.
This
effort
of
Australians
is
a
splendid
war
gesture
and
indicates
bow
the
people
of
that
country
feel
about
the
war.
It
will
be
a
splendid
contribution
not
only
to
Great
Britain
but
to
the
whole
Empire
including
Canada.

NORWEGIAN
I
DISCOVERER
Rev.
Mjrwang
Tells
of
Successful
Air
Voyage
of
Amandsen
and
His
Fata!
Final
Trip
,
In
his
address
to
the
Prince
Rupert
Rotary
Club
Thursday.
Rev.
J.
H.
Uyrwang
told
of
the
hectic
night
ol
Roald
Amundsen
over
the
North
Pole
in
an
airship
purchased
from
General
Noblle
of
Italy
Also
he
mentioned
the
final
trio
from
which
the
discoverer
never
returned.
That
part
of
bis
speech
follows:
-If
dreams
go
by
contraries,
RoaU
Amundsen
might
have
expected
to-land
at
the
South
Pole
as
he
had
been
dreaming
all
his
life
of
some
time
seeing
the
North
Pole.
In
the
life
of
this
extraordinary
man,
however,
both
his
dream
and
its
opposite
came
true-
After
having
lectured
in
many
countries
about'
his
expedition
to
the
South
Pole,
his
;mmd
once
more
became

About
this
time

began
to

extensively
and

surmised
that

regions.
He
had
an
aeroplane
made
in
the
United
States
and
had
it
shipped
to
Point
Barrow
from
which
he
intended
to
fly
across
Greenland
to
Svalbard
but
the
manufacturers
made
his
gasoline
tanks
too
small
for
such
a
long
flight
and
it
had
to
be
given
up.
Later
he
made
an
attemot
to
fly
two
planes
north
from
Svalbard
but
one
of
them
was
crushed
