Had Hitler won what he exnected to win in 1941.: lns.out of aggression everywhere our labor church he would have made himself virtually unbeatable. In saving Russia, Stalin gave democracy another chance to save itself. Mr. Philpott suggests that the 1941 Battle of Russi:i was the biggest battle ever fought in all history. Not only . were more men engaged in it but they were more continuously locked in combat and on a far longer front. He says "I can discover in all history no greater military achievement than that of the Soviet in 1941, for never at any time were the Russians able to put into the battle-line as many army divisions,- as many planes or as many tanks' as were the Nazi-Fascists until the ranks of the latter had been reduced by bloody battles and the ravages of the Russian winter. And 'the battle is still continuing with even better results and seems likely to continue until the Germans and Italians: are driven out of Russia and possibly beyond. that much easier to accomplish. We must convince those among us who still hedge at the fullest Introduction of all the maximum military measures including selective service for overseas that wc shall never be safe from bomber attack and worse so long as the nests of reaction remain strong in Europe and In Asia. We must raise up a still greater Canadian army and place In their hands the tanks, guns, planes and munitions with which to deal sledge-hammer cultural, political and youth organizations, the backbone of democracy and the war effort! Increase production! Study and discuss the issues involved! Enlist in the army, the navy, the air force, or the A.R.P.! So here's to 1942 a- Victory Year! YOUTH COMMITTEE OF PRINCE RUPERT. B. Mickleburgh, Preside!):. Mrs. Chas. McLeod, Secretary. Above our heads, in the bright Canadian sunshine, the Stukas drone. Down our fair streets come German tanks. Squads of square-lielmeted soldiers strut about. Yes, this war can be lost it can't be won without a supreme effort. If we los'e, here is the man to blame: He is not a Quisling, or a fifth columnist; just a patriotic Canadian who is now quite certain that everything will come out alright. He cherishes those ideals we hold most dear. He is proud to live in a free country, pleased with the high standard of living Could this man fee you?

P. C. Miller reported umi an empty store in the Clapp Block on Second Avenue had been secured and that an as a salvage depot fnrnnrairlne start had already been made in collecting scrap of various sorts. The S. D. Johnston Company had consented to take telephone messages from anyone having scrap to pick up ?Tnd to. pass them on to the Red Cross officials who are making arrangements for the collecting. Plans, have been made to distribute to the 'householders cards listing the articles of salvage value which are wanted, and, along with the cards, bags In which the smaller items may be kept. The , Sea Cadets are looking after the' distribution of these. Householders will be asked to make a small donation towards the cost of the bags for which the local branch has to pay. Several other matters were also discussed at the meeting. These included preparations for the annual meeting of the Prince Rupert branch of the Red Cross which Is to be held on January 19. The at tendance at the annual meeting j last year was very poor but it is hoped that this year the members ; will realize the great Importance of the work and turn out in greater numbers. Dr. H. L. A. Tarr. president of thp local Red Cross Society, was in the chair at last night's meet- The man who we enjoy. Hut he is so satisfied with the way things are going that he says, "Let George do it!" His heart goes out to conquered peoples, to the women and children whose cities have been bombed. He has no fear that next year a bomb might rip his home in pieces. He is sure everything will come out alright. You couldn't call him selfish. He pays his taxe, buys War Savings Certificates. Hut he just can't believe that if we don't gain the upper hand quickly "George" might not be able to do it after all. WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 7. -,l , - . , , EDITORIAL Much Needless Waste . . . There is a great deal of needless waste in Prince Rupert. Old metal is thrown away. Waste paper U destroyed '"Unused nigs go into the discard. I ! Mi this material has been a total loss to the country Sut happily steps are now being taken to utilize it. A coifififittee'has been formed to handle the collections, the newspapers have agreed to give the campaign publicity and,' within a few days, the whole field is expected to be covered with a view to getting the best possioie returns from the work that is being done. Collections of this kind can well be, repeated. Only recently the English radio carried a story of a collection being made in England where excellent results were being obtained over territory where a number of previous collections had taken place. Old buried metal was dug up, deserted mills and mines were found buried beneath overgrown brush, all of great value under present conditions. Most surprising finds were made and the longer they looked the more they found.
