Various matters In connection with plans for local civilian protection In the event of emergency arising through enemy action were discussed at another general meeting of Air Raid Protection wardens in the Canadian Legion Hall last night Interest in these activities, which might well prove vital to the community in view of the spreading theatre of war, continues to be well sustained and there was again a substantial atten dance at last night's meeting. Notable among those present were a number of senior high school students, several of whom were enrolled as wardens. However, lack of interest on the part of a certain type of usually responsible citizens was again to be noted. J. J. Little, chairman of the local A.RP. organization, gave a lecture on the subject of bombs, of which, he said, there were three principal varieties high explosive, incendiary and gas. It was felt that, should a bombing attack re made upon Prince Rupert, there would be a spray of incendiaries on objectives along the waterfrort with a follow-up of explosives.

Naturally there are a good i refuge hin cay distance such many who have felt the delay has been already too long. - T Keep Up the Pace . . . Evidently there has been a good start in the collection of scrap iron and steel. Judging from those behind the move we think it likely that the campaign may gain speed as it moves forward. Every dollar secured in this way helps the Red Cross and every pound of metal is a help in providing guns and ammunition for pounding the enemy at a time when the enemy needs pounding and needs it badly. Wanting a House ... An average of about ten to fifteen people a day call at The Dailv News askint: if anyone knows where they can get a house in which to live. If we do not know of a house they would be content with a flat, an apartment, a room, furnished or unfurnished, in fact any old place to hang their hats and sleep at night d ry, warm and sanitary. That is the present situation at Prince. Rupert. the most vulnerable points was indicated that this place had been the first to receive air raid alarm sirens. Mr. Little said. The Impact and penetration of bombs was discussed by Mr. Little. The maximum depth of penetration into .solid matter so far had been sixty feet. The Canadian Fish iz Cold Storage Co. at Seal Cove was pointed to by Mr. Little as tion in a sudden emergency was already being dealt with. He told how the various branches of A-R.P. first aid, nursing, fire fighting, j decontamination, demolition, pa-! trol, etc. were getting organized.1 There was still need for further volunteers. Fire Watching Fire Chief H. T. Lock emphasU- ed the vital importance of fire patrol and roof watching. This was something that should be impressed before an actual emer gency came. Mr. Lock spoke of the failure of the appeal for vol unteers to engage in digging of water holes for the fire pumps. The idea of a working bee had been called off for the time being and the possibility of having the city supply the labor was being taken up. The fire chief told how tests had been made of pumps from the provincial government which had Just arrived. They had proven most effective, tnree All we need is a few hotels, a few hundred houses and a i streams which topped the Savoy dozen or so nice apartments on a reasonable rental.

Mr. Lock also disclosed that the fire marshal for the ince. durinz a visit here this week. In the legislature this week, E. E.

If these services were similar, wardens activities, it was an- it does seem as if somebody was overcharged.

As soon as troops now in occupancy were moved out, the ! museum building would be avail able for use as headquarters for the downtown district. At the request of Wilfrid McLean, J McOlashan was taking over as district warden at Seal Cove A letter from a citizen dealing with sorrje more or less inconse quential matters arising out of. blackout patrol was read.

Ashes were also effective J in connection with incendiaries, it! was pointed out. There may be some demonstrations, however, as to how to deal with incendiary bombs. The matter of enrolling youths as AJU. wardens came in for dis cussion, the concenus of opinion being that their Interest and willingness to assist was something that should be appreciated and taken advantage of. J. S. Wilson, the chief warden, referred to the apathy and 'Let George Do It" attitude on the part of many citizens who failed to appreciate that their own interests, homes and families were very much at stake but who. however, showed no' inclination to assist in any way. Only a few hours work were required now and it would lighten the burden whkh was now being carried by comparatively few.
