BRITISH COLUMBIA Protecting Rupert A.R.P.

It was also decided to wire to Victoria for 250 more steel helmets for local A. R. p. workers Inquiry will also be made as to what it Is intended to do in tht matter ot providing gas masks foi the civilian population.

Here the need of suitable headquarters for the districts, a practice blackout and the appointment of a paid director had been brought up. Most of the captains mentioned the need of volunteers in order to bring the warden teams up to adequate strength. It was felt that citizens generally might show a ; better feeling of responsibility instead of leaving It to a few willing workers to look after the protection of themselves, their homes and their families. It was something that should be regarded as a personal duty. The matter of the oil tanks on ihe local waterfront and the men- l nee mey. wouia present in the case of air raid was discussed.

Jan. 17: The annual meeting of the Fran cois Lake Farmers institute ncia here last week resulted in the re-election of John H. Keefe as president and Joe Sugden as vice-president. The regretted retirement of the efficient secretary, Mrs. Earl II Deeder, brought a storm of protest from the gathering but ,she was adamant in her decision, pleading that In these strenuous war Umes she had too many uses for her spare moments. Robert E. Lord was elected secretary treasurer and, with a strong executive. it Is expected that this Institute which has accomplished so much In past years will carry on as usual. A hurried meeting of the executive of the Institute decided to protest against the early tie-up of the Francois Lake ferry as in- jdicatlons are that the lake will I again open up from shore to i shore. With ice saws and all equipment on hand with which to cut a channel it is expected that the service may be resumed at the earliest opportunity. The alternative route offers a chance for light cars and is a comfortable protection in the event of accident or Illness as it is possible to go around the westerly half of Francois Lake bui the distance from Southbank to the north side by this road is one hundred arid three miles as against the two mile crossing by the firry. For heavy freighting the new road is prohibitive. Acting at the request of many farmers, the president of the Institute wired M. M. Connelly M. L. A. for Omineca as follows: "Francois Lake ferry service has been suspended for a week to the great inconvenience of local farmers who have timothy seed, cattle and cream to ship. Francois Lake is open to within 300 yards of the ferry dock and entirely clear to north side docks. Please get action on this as the lake may not freeze up for safe crossing this winter."
