All rights at republication of special despatches therein are also reserved DAILY EDITION Question of Defence . SATURDAY, JAN. 31, 1942. The most of us probably realize now that the matter of national defence is no longer a thing for the people of Prince Rupert to consider as a vague generality. We are faced personally not only with the necessity of defecting the Empire and our own nation but there is a very real possibility that, ere long, we may be personally defending' our own community and our own homes. We do not need Mr. Green at Ottawa or Mr. Winch at Victoria to remihd us of that. It was not so many days ago that we. suggested in these . columns that the now very critical Battle of "Singapore might bring physical warfare directly to us here. If the alarming pictures painted by Mr. Green and Mr. Winch, and which many of us have thought of ourselves, have the effect of making the authorities the federal for military defence and the provincial for civil-even more appreciative of the possibilities that might well be involved by a very conceivable spread of actual warfare from the southwest Pacific to the northeast it will be all to the good. Quite possibly, nothing may happen at all to us in a violent way at Prince Rupert. On the other hand, quite possibly something may. Things move rapidly in these days of modern warfare. There have been enough grim lessons to make us aU appreciate the danger of complacency and wishful thinking. On the other hand, this is no time to be despondent or destructively critical. This is the time for us all to be thinking very honestly and very realistically of what each and every one of us are doing in a personal way to protect ourselves from possible situations which would concern us very directly. Those of us who rail about how defenceless we are and how others are neglecting us lrright do well to consider what we are doing oi are prepared to do for pur-selves. That sort of thinking not wishful, not hopeless will inspire us and others to take the action and do the things which will contribute to the security of our persons, out' homes, our community and our nation. . Probably the most of us are not doing very much yet. Our enemies are doing plenty and time is passing. Historic Hotel Sign ... In the course of our travels we have run across ft humorous list of instructions to guests in frontier hotels and Wondered who originated it. We have suspected that it was not original. Scanning through a sketch of the career of Sir Frederick Haultain, who was premier of the Northwest Territories when the now modern prairie cities were nothing more than frontier cow towns, we find it again and have traced its history back a little further to the hotel in Fort MacLeod in 1884, a crude community of between 200 and 300 people and an impor tant post for the Royal Northwest Mounted rolice. Typical of the times when the young Haultain ar rived at Fort MacLeod on the stage coach with $45 in his pocket was the sign which read : "Spiked boots and spurs must be removed at night beiore retiring." "Towels changed Weekly." "Insect powder for sale at the bar." "Special rates for Gospel Grinders and the gambling profesh." "Assalilts ort the cook are strictly prohibited." "Only regularly registdrcd guests will be allowed the . special privilege ol sleeping on the bar room floor. "To attract attention of waiters or bell boys, shbot a hole through the door panel, two shots lor ice water, three for a deck of cards." 1 COMMITTEE LISTS OUT President Arnold Flaten Assigns Members of Chamber of Commerce President Arnold Platen has ap pointed standing committees of the Prince Rupert Chamber or Commerce for (he year as follows: Civic W.
