The people were very fine. But here was nothing to compare with British Columbia. Food and Rationing The Oyro naval officer told "mething of food conditions and at toning. There was no shortage f vegetables in view of the plan vbich had been adopted whereby rvery person grew his own plot. This was making it so that the nany people produced enough to neet their own needs the year around. As a matter of fact, vege tables could be bought in Old Country shops cheaper than they were in Canada. Tea, butter . and meat were short and closely ra I too. they were not cooked so well "Cake and candy, 1 most certainly would say," Lieut. Stuart asertrd In asnwerinp. the question of what were the most acceptable things to send the forces abroad. Coffee was often sent but there was o coffee ration in the Old Country. Lieut Stuart remarked on the utility suits which were being turned out In mass production for the civilian population under the industrial contror system. Too many people made the mistake of thinking that to see England one only had to see London. It was a great city, to be sure, but It was like other great cities, crowded with troops and with visitors The people lined up at the theatres. and other places just like hev did in Prince Rupert. There were many things to be seen in 'Britain besides London. Turning to the branches of the services overseas, Lieut. Stuart paid particular tribute to the Royal An Force and the Royal Canadian Air Force. Even from Prince Ru- Tert he could count offhand five ooys who were "missing." The Air Force, at It day and night, was iolna a wonderful Job. Nothing could be truer than the .words of nhurchlll: "Never had so many wed so much to so few." Armv's Touch Job The Army In Britain had a tough TIIE DAILY NEWS PAGE THREE Job. The Canadians had gone over there expecting to see action. Alter two years they were still there waiting, superlatively trained and naturally impatient. The Canadians had proven themselves at Dieppe which had been their show.". If ever the Canadians get to Germany, there will be "hell-a-popping," the speaker predicted. Lieut. Stuart then turned to his own service the navy. Jts main jobs had been Keeping ineg sea clear of enemy raiders, chiefly submarines and convoying the merchant navy, across the Atlan tic, to the Mediterranean and to northern Russia. The navy had suffered serious losses but these losses had been more than replaced. However, It was necessary to do better than that. In conclusion, Lieut. Stuart referred to the great work that was being ca rted out for the forces in Britain by B.C. House, where Agent General William MacAdam was an Indefatigable worker, by Canada House, by the Canadian tloned. The difficulty was not so officers' Club and by the Mhple much the shortage of food there iLeaf Club. He also referred to the was enough stored in the country j highly organized and efficient to feed the people for two years even if every ship crossing the Atlantic was lost but rather of providing variety. This could be realised when it was taken into consideration that only 26c worth om meat a week was allowed by the ration. When the British housewife entertained a serviceman on leave It was with sacrifice to her self and her family but she did so willingly. The force In the Old Country certainly suffered from no short age of food. In fact, to the con work on behalf of the forces of the Young Men's Christian Association and the Canadian Red Cross. "Words cannot adequately express how much it Is appreciated." the speaker declared. The new Oyro president, W. J. Scott, fittingly thanked Lieut. Stuart for his talk. It was an auspicious opening for his presi dential year, he thought. Congratulations were expressed to Oyro W. M. Watts on having been elected mayor of Prince Ru pert In his acknowledgement of trary was the case. There was the good wishes that had been ex- planty of beef and mutton for the tended Mr Watts said he forces but sometimes inece meau became monotonous.
