Wodehouse As Traitor - Tho Victoria Times asks what will the redoubtable and ubiquitous Jeeves say to this recent dispatch from London: "Southport Town Council has ordered that all the novels of P. G. Wodehouse in the town library should be disposed of as 'waste paper' because of his' broadcasts from Berlin." All the English-speaking world had derived much enjoyment from the doings of "Bertie Wooster" and the impeccable "gentleman's gentleman," Jeeves the inimitable servant who could look at his employer with that intangible something in his eye, or curl of the mouth, which registered respectf ul scorn or decorous jubilation. It requires considerable mental effort to- bring oneself to the belief that Pelham. Grenville Wodehouse really has gone over heart and soul to the service of that hideous little beast, the Herr Doktor Goebbels. But there seems little doubt about it now. The BBC recently extended its facilities to the Daily Mirror's County Derry Irishman, William Connorwho, as "Cassandra," has figuratively sent his verbal Celtic fangs into persons of high and low estate when he nas tnought a case was worth his journalistic attention Here is Connor's comment: "I have to tell you ... of a rich man trying-to make his last and greatest sale, that of his countrv. It is a sombre story of self-respect, honor and decency being pawned to, the Nazis for the price of a soft bed in a luxury hotel. It is I tlie record of P. G. Wodehouse,. ending 40 years of money-making fun with the worst joke he ever made in his life "Mr. Wodehouse, you said the other day that you were quite unable to work up any kind of belligerent feeling uuoui cms war r do you Know Duiwich, Mr.' Wodehouse? It is the suburb of London where you went to school . . . After a bombing near me, under 50 tons of rubble, lay human beings . . . You should have been there, Mr. Wodehouse, you with your impartiality, your reasonableness, and perhaps even one of your famous little jokes." It was natural that Connor's all-out acid throwing, in contract with the BBC's customary drawing-room argument, brought forth protests and commendation. But to those who utterly disagreed with him, Connor who plays a mouthorgan for inspirational aid let fly with this in his Daily Mirror column: "I have never been so pleased over anything in my life . . . The BBC is anathema to me . . . There are Americans who still think English people are Bertie Woosters calling each other 'Milord' and I thought the Wodehouse broadcasts would be very helpful to peonle like Burton Wheeler." And those who know their Berlin will understand that despite dangerfrom Royal Air Force raids, life at the once internationally-popular Hotel Adlon,. where Wodehouse is housed, is vastly different from rotting in the hells of j Lutc-iiuy arm oaensennausen. When You Want a Reliable, Comfortable; Dependable 'TAXI nLikir 4 Service 24 Hour Service at Regular Ratei Letter Box Y.M.OA.'S rOSIIION Editor. Daily News: Having read an editorial headed "Y.M.C.A." in a local paper, 1 would humbly attempt' to-reply. Whether in peace or in war, it u of vital Importance to the V..VI.C.A. to gain as many friends and aswld . and" sympathetic a. public under-1 standing' ot its-activities as is hum- j anly possible, since, without thest. no organization can continue to do.1 its best work,, however high IU; ideals, however efficient its man-! agement, however effective its- op- J eratlon. ! At the outbreak of war, the Y. j M.C:A. offered. Its. services to the; Dominion government and the of-1 f er was accepted: What Is known ' as the National Council of Y.M.'CA.'s of Canada War Services Committee was promptly formed with Major J. W. Beaton as senior secretary. This committee has the ideals and guidance of the Y.M.C.A., its books are audited by both the Y.M.C.A. and the Dominion government and it derives its income along with the Salvation Army, Canadian Legion, Knights of Columbus, Y.W.C.A. and the I.O.D.E. from the United Services Drive. The Y. M. C A. proper does not get any part of these funds but donates its services in cities where they are already es-1 tabllshed to further the work of' the YM.C.A. War Services. All capi- ' tal expenditures of the War Services Committee must first be passed on by the Dominion government. According to our agreement with the Dominion government the "huts" we open with funds from this drive are for the use and comfort of the men of the three services and their families. We realize that housing condl-1 tions in Prince Rupert are such that much could be done for civilians but it Is obvious that, with an agree-1 ment such a we have with the gov ernment, it would be impossible to TAKI GRANTS FOR GRANTED r This advertisement Is not published or displayed by the Liquor Control Board or by the Government of British Columbia.

Wtf were not bombed out, but had the two houses either side- of us " deir-cllshed. We had Incendiary bombs on the roof,, but, fortunately, we were able to put them out, but the celling, windows, roof, etc. were all damaged, but the worst was that we had the sewer in the house three rt;t deep and typhoid broke out. f managed to get the two children to Scotland and we escaped, but tell Percy that Ted, a friend of ours, has 'been dangerously and seriously ill j for four months from the typhoid. He, is now cn the road to recovery. I T am pleased to say that everybody at home are safe, and Sydney Us married, with a baby girl. They are also all right, and although we !have got In touch with everybody, it is impossible to say that they are iall well. Each night brings fresh raids and tragedy. ' When you wrote In your letter, jis there anything you can do for me. yes; please, there Is. Just look after Bennie and love her all you j can. If you would see the tragedy here, you would love everyone. Two jvery. dear friends of mine were burned beneath, the debris for four days I before being brought out; two other friends lost their legs. "One Dares Not Think" Tell Percy that my shop where-he came to meet me Is no more. That place got a direct hit, and men and women I worked with for eight years are dead.
