The city council, supporting a line of policy it ha? adopted, is sticking to its guns in the face of demands of the authorities that have entered the scene in connection with war activities here. The most of citizens will commend it for so doing since undoubtedly there have been high-handed goings-on in which the local community rights have suffered. Some of these may have permanent ill effects. Of course, a showdown may ensue, the results of which cannot be forecast. Meantime there are a good many matters which may be clarified and explained to the more or less satisfaction. Big Post-War Plans . . . Apparently, Premier John Hart's government has big plans for the post-war development of the province which is sin to ine good. ui course tne provincial government' finds itself in the position of being unable to proceed i with any undertakings at this time. All it can do is to, carry on a minimum of normal services and co-operate i with the war effort as far as possible. It is evident that Northern British Columbia's (level-! onment figures largely in the government's post-war! Minimum ami mat, oi course, implies mucn as far as Prince Rupert in its important strategic position is Russia's Position . . . The splendid successes of the Russian Army should not mnkp lls forget that the economic situation in un-occupied Russia is extremely serious. The army is gettintr sufficient supplies and essential foodstuffs and clothinir but military supplies precede all other demands to a much greater extent than in England or this country. The food situation for the non-combatant population is especially difficult. Under such conditions. Stalin will be especiallv insistent on economic aid from the Allied Nations and on nost-war settlements that will enable Russia to recover from the terrific war losses. A further retreat of the German Army in Russia and a further weakening of German military strength will make the problem of the future of post-war Europe, in particular post-war Germany, especially acute. It is not revealing a secret to state that there is no complete agreement among United Nations countries on these post-war problems. ACTIVITIES OF Y.M.C.A. AND Y.W.C.A. My DOKOTIIY flAKMJTT The Hostess Don't forgot to send the Little Woman a Valentine boys. A wire or a phone call makes' a grand val-sntlne. I have bought one for Breen and Frank you can get lovely ones at three for a nickel and I hope ihey have one for me. I've reminded them several times about it. A year ago today, so the Y.W.C.A. diary reminds me, the Air Force Women's Club held a dinner at the Commodore to which I was invited later we all went to the Capitol Theatre. Not many of them are still in Prince Rupert. At the present moment I can only recall Betty Vivian, Mrs. Muirhead and Mary Summerville. The Ontario Regiment Is holding its weekly dance tonight. I hope the condition of the roads has improved between the time of writ ing and the time of the dance and that they will not have to cancel the dance. But a cancelled dance is T-eferable to a car skidding all over a slippery road. However twenty-four hours can make a lot of difference, so decide accord ingly! Last night's "Y" dance at the Empress Hall was the best we have had In a long long time. The hostess?"' heeded my earnest pleadings arid all arrived in good time so that everyone had a full two hour's of lancinj. The onlookers were orderly and the orchestra was super. One just couldn't help dancing to it. The music was smooth and .sweet. Now a word about them they- a:e a newly organized band calling themselves the Prince Rupert Area Orchestra because the majority of the members are in the area camp. They are going to play for the "Y" each Wednesday and will play engagements upon request. Here are their names and the instiuments each plays: Jerry Hutchinson, first alto saxaphone: Pete Ewan, second tenor saxaphone; Capt. D. W. MacGregor. third alto saxaphone; Percy Wil-ax, fourth .tenor saxaphone; Ste-vie Miller, drums; CM! McArec. piano; Bunny Bentley, trumpet: Jack Tofferay, vocal. It's nice to know that Bert Fuller of the "Y" cafeteria is now oul jf .the hospital. I Smiles I For Today t A traveller called in the office the other day and told Joe Dunkle- man: "If Hitler wants more terri tory, he can have mine." Paddy Maher: "Now, fellows, let me tell you how to start the day right. When I first get up I take a cold shower and feel merry for hours afterwards." Bob Stewart: "Tell us more about Mary."

LOCALS 1 Pupils of Booth Memorial High School were sent home this morning as there was no coal for the fnmnre classes were to be resum ed this afternoon following the de livery of coal. Trustee C. G. Ham reported at last night's meeting of the School board that teachers had complained about not getting their checks on the last day of the month when it fell on Saturday. The board took the view that the first day of the month should be acceptable as pay day for the teachers if that fitted in better with the convenience of the City Hall where the checks are paid. The board of school trustees, at last night's meeting, agreed that, in view of length or faithful and efficient service, an increase of $10 per month in salary was due Reg. Clarke, janitor of Borden Street School. Mr. Clarke's new salary is, therefore. $145 Der month. The salary of the janitor or Booth Me-I morial School is $160. of King Ed- I ward School, $135, and Seal Cove, $50. The Edmonton Canadian Legion concert party, alter spending several days in this area entertaining the forces, left by last evening's train on its return to the Alberta capital.
