.PAQB TWO EDITORIAL Member of Audit Bureau of Circulations Advertising and Circulation Telephone 98 DAILY EDITION U&rr. TUESDAY, FEB. 17. 1D42. A Cheery Note . . . It was a cheerful sound that was heard on the British radio yesterday when London played ".Rule Britannia" at various times and told the world that there was no depression in Britain over the fall of Singapore but just a note of determination in all parts of the empire that the war would continue until it ended successfully. As Prime .Minister Churchill said in his speech the Allies are in a better position today than they were a year ago. Effect of Singapore Here . . . The effect of Singapore's fall on this coast is that we must be fully prepared for anything that may happen. It seems a pity that the construction of the highway had not already been started. Surely now there is no good reason for delay in the commencement of this important work, very important not only for the people of Prince Rupert but also for Alaska and for Canada as a whole and especially the west. Another Effect ... Another effect the -fall of Singapore should have on us is that the people here should subscribe to the loan to the fullest extent of their ability. We cannot expect the government to spend a lot of rnoney here if we do not do our full share toward the carrying out of the work. We feel quite confident Prince Rupert will do a complete part. She has done so in the past and the indications point to a repetition. We are asked to invest our money wisely so that we may benefit directly and indirectly, directly by securing a good rate of interest and indirectly by enabling Ottawa to look favorably upon the projects that interest us particularly. - - DRY DOCK HAS A.R.P.

No time should be Jost In doing so as events of the past week had brought the foe virtually to the doorstep. This meeting, however, gave him renewed confidence that much would yet be accomplished. He concluded his remarks with an appeal to all present to get behind the second Victory Loan drive and support It to the limit of their resources. J. S. Wilson, chief warden, was the next speaker and gave a resume of the work in detail, explaining fully what had been accomplished and what remained yet to be done. Much of the work remaining was due to lack of volunteers. Like the chairman, he felt that, there were too many who were willing "to let -George do it." and "George" had Just not been able to do It all. He outlined CHEMISTRY HELPS TO WIN THE WAR Canadian Pig Canadian Salt British Breakfast : Six hundred million pounds of bacon that's what Britain expects Canada to deliver this year far beyond the pre-war figure. Bacon can't be made without Salt. Cheese, butter, fish, canned goods all likewise call for salt. In,thcsc days perishable foods are "out" it's preserved Jood for the forces and for civilians too. And food preservation calls for Salt tons and tons of it! In other vital ways, too, Salt serves our war effort. It is essential in the production and processing of vital war-time supplies and equipment in metal refineries, rolling. mills, textile plants, canneries, chemical works. The C-I-L Salt plant at Windsor, Ontario, is Canada's greatest producer of Salt. From Windsor, in cars and .cargoes, tons of Salt pour steadily into service in Canada's vast war effort. 1 uiuy ' , .;i Salt h one of many C-UL products oj Industrial Chtmitlry uhich are aiding Canada's war ejjort.

Under the circumstances, , It might be necessary to reprint the regulations in which case he hoped everyone would save them for ready reference when necessary. H. T. Lock, assistant chief protection officer, explained th duties and fun:tions of his particular branch of the work but pointed out that practical demonstration was much more effective than lecture and promised to give such a demonstration as soon as the necessary equipment and facilities were available.

He also stressed the necessity of all volunteers promptly returning registration forms in-order that thev mieht be adequately protected in case of accident, either at practice or in actual emergency.
