McKay, who has been around a bit and knows the town, talks oi a million dollar public works program for the city. Aid. Arnold, the lady member of the city council with an eye to business, talks about raising the million from the governments. Both may very well talk that way. Aid. McKay realistically pictures what this city needs. He knows that they are no penny-rate requirements. Aid. Arnold fully realizes that the requirements cannot be met out of any of the presently visible financial resources of the city authority immediate or potential. The new city council is beginning to appreciate that its task is to build the city over again from the standpoint of public works and services. It realizes too the great difficulties that present themselves, particularly in these war days, in financing things and getting them done. The city council has big problems and big tasks ahead and it is a wise person who has much idea of how they are going to be met. We do know they cannot be met from present limited visible resources. Great Russian Victories . , . Kursk, Rostov, Voroshilovgrad, Kharkov in .quick succession those are great victories our Russian allies have been making these last few days in the mighty effort to drive the Nazi invaders out of their homeland. Let Goebbels call them strategic withdrawals, if he likes! No doubt they are strategic, due, most likely, to the fear of the western invasion of the Reich. Whatever kind of withdrawals they may have been, they constitute major defeats for the senior partner of the Axis. They have been much too serious losses to be explained away glibly as mere strategic withdrawals. They have hurt Germany too badly in men, in equipment, in prestige and, more than likely, in morale on the home front. Although there may be much for us to do yet before the war is safely won, we may be heartened at the situation in Europe these days. It is not wishful thinking for us to be convinced that things are not happening according to Nazi plan in Russia and that the events there are in the way of definite progress towards our own victorious peace. We watch the Battle of Tunisia, showdown of the African campaign, with the keenest of interest.' There another battle is now being joined which may well have far-reaching effect upon the progress if not the outcome of the whole great world conflict. There are great forces of both sides massed in Tunisia and We are assured that we may expect hard and bloody fighting and heavy losses. There may also be some passing reverses but we need not be too alarmed when they occur. Certainly our position in that area is vastly better than it was not so very long ago. SPARTAN A. T. S.

It would be an 80,000' pound je available for use this season, jnlt and the plan is that it should oe available for use this season. Fresh water requirements would be no greater than the company Is it present using as salt water culd be pumped for cooling purposes. When the matter came before the city council at Its meeting Monday night, Aid. Brett and Aid. Elliott, who are familiar with the fisheries situation here, agreed that further freezing facilities were badly needed here.

ACTIVITIES OF Y.M.C.A. AND Y.W.C.A. By DOROTHY GARBUTT The Hostess Tonight there Is a choice of two dances the United Services Or ganization up on the hill Is hold ing a Valentine dance which is for mal and sounds pretty interesting and the "Y" Is holding its regular weekly dance at the Empress Hall. Area Orchestra at the Empress. The Service Wives Club will meet Thursday afternoon in the ladles lounge at the "Y." Do come out, all you service Vives and make It a record meeting. Monday night's dance at the Empress the H.M.CS. Chatham dance I mean, was really something as dances go. The hall was very beau tifully decorated In Valentine fash Ion red and white streamers from the lights to the windows and the traditional heart and dart motif lining the walls. A magnificent red and white navy ensign filled almost a quarter of the end wall and blended the service and holiday spirit splendidly. Sub-Lieut. Gal-bralth and Ivan Mallett worked hard to have everything running smoothly and their efforts were far from being In vain. Lieut. Commander Harrison attended for part of the evening and expressed pleasure at the arrangements and very evi dent enjoyment of the couples present. Lieut. Commander Surtees wai also In attendance and was delight ed at the success of this second Chatham dance. For the occasion Acting Cupid Samson and his Im promptu aide, 'Charlie," were In charge of the lunch which was substantial and in. true navy fashion. The dance ran until one o'clock In the morning but I noticed a lot of the girl's, leaving just about midnight and I do think it would be a good thing If all services dances would make a point of closing at midnight. The majority of the girls who go to them work during the day and work hard and, strange as it may seem, they need, their sleep. Their, duty sleep we might even call It as It keeps them fit for duty next day. Anyhoo, matelots, It was a grand dance. WORKING ON NEW GREENS C.N.U. Lawn Bowling Club Not Daunted at Having Lost Two Venues Last Year Not daunted by having lost Its two greens last year on account of new waterfront developments, the Canadian National Lawn Bowline Club is now working on plans for another green on a new site. The plans are in the embryonic stace but there is hone that a permanent site may be found in the Canadian National Park near the fountain a spot that would be pleasant and picturesque. mm TOO I ATE TO CLASSIFY FOR SALE Baby basinette and h'gh chair.
