Leslie Speaker Before I'rince Rupert Rotary Club at iitgular Weekly Luncheon Today. An interesting account of the war services work of the Young Men's Christian Association, more particularly In the Prince Rupert military area, was given by C. F. Leslie1, senior supervisor for this area, In addressing the Prince Rupert Rotary Club at its regular weekly luncheon today. He described the wide variety ot activities being carried out fo' the forces, a work which hae. Involved the expenditure of $16,000 here last year and which, it was expected, would cost $7.8,000 this year. Much information was conveyed to the Rotarlans and guests by Mr. Leslie. President P. H. Linzey was in the chair. Mr. Leslie spoke as follows: "The first question is: Where Do We Get Our Funds?. As you know last March the War Services Drive was held vllich raised the sum of, I believe, approximately $17,000,000. Although the quota for Prince Rupert in this drive was $5,000, I understand you raised in excess of $10,000. The funds in this drive were divided among the Canadian Y.M.C.A., Salvation Army, Canadian Legion, Knights of Columbus, Y.W.C.A., and the I.OJ3.E.. in the order mentioned, to do war services work. "The next question I have down is: Who Are We? I speak now of the Y.M.C.A. We all know what the Y.M.C.A. is but we do not realize that the National Council of Y.M.OA. War Services Committee is a separate organization with a separate managment and that financially there Is no connection between the Y.M.C.A. and this committee. The governing body of our organization is a committee of prominent citizens and all funds expended by our organization for war services aie audited both by the Y.M.U.A. proper and the Dominion government. Our canteens turn over $",000,GOP an nually. Canteen pro:.its are all turnd back to units for extra messing, etc. Military areas are ssigned as speclalr espon slbiiity to organizations! for seryic. In other words, certain districts ate assigned to Canadian Leijion, others to the Salvation Army and still others to the Y.M.C.A. It so happens that Prince Ruptrt defences were assigned to the Y.M.C.A. Of course, the Salvation Amy has a charter for . a hostel and the xCnights of Columbus for a recreation haii and ihe Y.M.C.A. for a hostess in our hall, but the main responsibility lies with the YM.C. A. In Prince Rupert, Jur.n this last year, we' spent ai-projcimttuly $16,000 and, as our worit enlarges, we expect to spend '18,00C ihis year. Ihis money is pent judiciously and we opt'ra.tt as economically as. puasible. Activity in Area "During the past couple of years we have had from one to threo secretaries in this area supplying sports equipment, organization and numerous other . services which you hav, perhaps, all heard of. We had a small hall in conjunction with the Toe H, which served its purpose but which became very inadequate and last July the Y.M. C.A. leased, as you know, the Moose Hall and converted it into a Y.M.C.A. Red Triangle Club and acquired a Y.W. hostess lo assiit by( organizing the ladies of the city to provide entertainment for the men and recreation for the wives and home registry. I shall not attempt to tell you. about the hall but Invite you all to come and see what has actually being done. At that time three new scretaries were placed In this field one as secretary to the air force at Seal Cove and Allford Bay, on as fort secretary and myself as senior supervisor for the area. "One of our most important duties is in the field or sports. We act as sports co-ordinators for the three services, organizing basketball, bowling, softball, baseball, volleyball paddle, paddleball, pad-die tennis and numerous other spvrts and- supplying all t.he sports equipment.,,. which., is used. Our work ir forts- Is very important in keeping the men more or less satisfied and contented with their lives. It is Interesting to kr.ow, at this time that, since August 26 when our hall was opened, 52,000 men have used the readme and writing rooms, 62,000 havn used the game rooms. Last month In tJz area 60 movie picture shows were snown to 11,733 men. The FILM IS MYSTERY A grim story, well mixed with humor and suspense, is the mystery film "The Maltese Falcon," featured on the screen of the Capitol Theatre here this Friday and Saturday. The picture stars the hard-boiled Humphrey Bogart and the alluring Mary Astor against a. sinister background in which a gang of suave but bloodthirsty criminals match wits with an exceptionally clever detective. Cold, hard and sometimes cruel but never without a sense of humor, Bogart, as the detective, is called upon to bring all his resources into play when his partner I is murdered while doing some shadowing for a client. The picture i moves along in a breezy manner with an exciting plot which is , thrilling but credible, i The supporting cast includes Peter Lorre, Gladys George and Lee Patrick. ! cost of the rental of tilms for this area last year amounted to about .$7,500, almost half of what we spent. During December 1941 tn this area 25.500 sheets of writing paper were used, all supplied by the Y.M.C.A. We collect around town from your homes, about 2.000 magazines a month and dis tribute them to the men in forts, stations and ships in the area. "I might go on to tell you of the dances that are held every Wednesday with our own orchestra, organized within the services; of the concerts that are held almost weekly with the kind assistance of citizens of Prince Rupert and the organization within the forces, of the numerous card parties and game parties which are held in the hall weekly of the 60 men who were invited, through the office of the Y. W. C. A. hostess, for Christmas dinner, of the numerous men who are Invited to spend their 48 hours leave in private homes. "I might quote you figure by the hour but one of the services of which I am most proud was a case of a man whose home is in Sault Ste. Marie. Christmas Eve he received a wire stating that his father had an accident and had both legs amputated. His mother is a cripple and it was our privilege to wire our Y. M. C. A. secretary in Sault Ste. Marie, have him contact tiie parents and I was able to report the following morning that his parents were being looked after financially by Workmen's Compensation and personally by our own secretary In that city. It is interesting to know that the Influence of this work is felt not only by the members of the services but by the civilians of the town. We have had a total of 537 different women assisting from the hostess end, then there are two volunteer canteen workers each evening. This all tends to give the citizens new interests and allows them to help in war work. "I may say we have in Prince Rupert an advisory board composed of seven prominent citizens whose duty it is to advise me on the general program of the area. Your president, P. H. Linzey, is the chairman of this board. Within this advisory board there are subcommittees to assist in the work, There is the canteen committee, the entertainment committee and the house committee. "All these services, and the services of other organizations, last year cost the people of Prince Rupert the sum of 1 l-3c per day per man in the area. We are truly a large part of yiur war effort."
