DAILY EDITION R.A.F. Sanctuary TUESDAY, DEC. 2. 1941. Closer to Prince Rupert . , . War in the Pacific looms as the crisis between the United States and Japan deepens. War in the Pacific will bring war closer to Prince Rupert by half the distance it is today. An ocean and a continent separate us from actual combat today. Tomorrow the distance may be reduced to the ocean. We may, in a sense, be on the front line with the expanse of a wide ocean and the naval power of Great Britain and the United States as our principal defences. There is no need for us to dwell on the degree of our vulnerability or on the possibility or form of attack, That may well be left for reasonable imagination. Suffice it to suggest that war in the Pacific presents to Prince Rupert very reasonable possibilities. For various reasons Prince Rupert is very definitely a military objective. Prince Rupert people might as well make up their minds to the fact that, if and when United States and Japan go to war, we will be a very desirable target for the enemy. It is not being unduly pessimistic or gloomy to suggest this. What we in Prince Rupert had better do is look to our defences civil as well as military. Our A.R.P. may well spring into action, perfect its organization in preparation for an emergency. War in the Pacific will undoubtedly bring new re- siwtwuns ami saennces ior us. it would be well lor us to' prepare to reconcile ourselves to face them. Some of us do not seem to yet realize that we are at war. War in the Pacific will quicken the realization. Municipal Requirements . r. - Ifc is interesting to note the appointment of a sanitary insnector as a member nf rhp riviV cfnff The appointee, Alex Macdonald, long a member of the city fire department, knows every nook and cranny of the city. No doubt, he will be a conscientious and' discerning official. There will be plenty of matters to require his attention. His immediate task will be to take steps looking to a general cleaning up which will involve attention both by private and public interests. We bespeak for him the Co-operation which he will need. The reorganization of the municipal sanitarv department is but the first of a number of matters in the sphere of public works and public service that require attention here and the need for which is becoming more acute as a result of greatly increased industrial activity and population. There are a number of such matters that cannot be much longer deferred war or no war. As a matter of fact, the successful prosecution of the war effort makes them the more necessary. If we are to have the morale required to carry on it is essential that certain things be done in the interest of better efficiency. We have been told for some time now how much better the financial position of the city is, how we have been restored to an even fiscal keel as a result of the administration pi our very competent commissioners. Now it is reasonable to suggest that the time has at long last arrived when the city should be in a position to finance some of these very real needs, particularly in the way of public works. Possibly, we may not be able to have them all at once. But it certainly appears to be high time that some should be forthcoming. The welcome resumption of the sanitary inspection service may be considered just a start. Jplles are short but our visitors get food. Everybody plays a part.
