The

itself,
rather
than
the
accomplishments
it

may
have
attained,
to
many
may
comprise
the
striking
feature
of
the
conference
of
Prime
Minister'
Winston
Churchill,
President
Franklin
D.
Roosevelt
and
other;
Allied
leaders
near
Casablanca
in
North
Africa,
the
announcement
of
which
was
made
last
night.
Certainly
it
was
impressive
and
unprecedented.

such
as
the
resolution
for
victory,
the
plan
for
a
general
offensive,
the
determination
that
the
philosophy
of
the
aggressors
must
be
completely
destroyed
cannot
hardly
be
called
new
war
aims
but
rather
reiteration
and
development
of
the
old
ones.
The
importance
of
the
meeting,
however,
is
not
to
be
minimized.
It
renewed
our
resolve
to
win
along
the
lines
of
our
aims.
It
was
an
impressive
rendezvous
of
the
Allied1
leaders
almost
under
the
fire
of
one
of
the
most
import--and
of
the
current
war
theatres
and
it
augurs
well
for
our
cause.
The
confidence
that
it
will
radiate
to
us
all
is
not
an
unimportant
factor.
Differences
in
Africa
...
General
Giraud,
French
high
commissioner
in
North
Africa,
and
General
De
Gaulle,
Fighting
French
leader,
have
met.
Political
differences
have,
it
is
intimated,
been
ironed
out
at
least
to
some
extent
but
not
completely.
Of
still
larger
importance
than
the
meeting
between
these
two
French
factions
was
the
meeting
of
minds
between
British
and
American
statesmen
on
basic
policies
to
be
pursued
in
North
Africa.
A
dangerous
chance
of
serious
disagreement
in
this
vital
field
existed
and
there
are
signs
that
it
is
being
cleared
up.
Even
if
General
De
Gaulle
came
to
a
working
agreement
with
General
Giraud,
there
would
have
been
no
object
in
him
going
to
Washington
unless
and
until
Messrs.
Roosevelt
and
Churchill
reached
an
understanding
about
Africa,
now
that
understanding
has
evidently
been
reached.
Dim-out
and
Traffic
.
.
.
The
dim-out
conditions
which
are
being
imposed
now
m
Prince
Rupert
and
will
continue
for
the
duration
of
the
war
will
present
difficulties
in
the
way
of
traffic
both
vehicular
and
and
will
pedestrian
make
necessary
a
new
degree
of
watchfulness
and
caution.
The
car
operators
will
have
to
slow
up
and
be
on
their
guard
in
a
degree
that
has
never
been
necessary
before.
Most
likely
night
driving
will
be
reduced
to
a
minimum.
Doubtless,
there
will
be
no
such
driving
that
is
not
absolutely
necessary.
As
the
visibility
of
the
motorists
will
be
greatly
reduced
owing
to
the
drastic
reduction
of
street
illumination
and
because
of
the
shielding
of
headlights,
the
pedestrians
will
not
be
able
in
the
interests
of
their
own
safety
to
wander
about
on
the
roads
as
they
have
been
doing
Wherever
possible,
it
will
be
essential
that
thev
should
keep
to
the
sidewalks.

Year
in
Review
What
the
local
Red
Cross
branch
,
had
been
able
to
achieve
during
the
past
year,
Mr.
McAfee's
report
j
said,
had
been
due
to
the
generous
i
support
of
the
people
of
the
city
and
district
and
to
the
devotion
of
workers,
relatively
few
in
numbers,
who
had
accepted
active
responsibility,
often
In
terms
of
personal
sacrifice,
of
seeing
that
the
work
was
carried
on.
With
a
membership
of
2862
it
was
a
matter
of
regret
that
more
people
were
not
in
a
position
to
give
voluntarily
some
time
as
well
as
money
to
Red
Cross
work.
The
retiring
president
considered
It
gratifying
that
receipts
of
the
branch
during
the
year,

of

had
totalled
$3,111.52
including
$1431.52

$646.55

PLENTY
OF

FOR
MALT
There's
no
shortage
of
the
raw
materials
used
in
the
manufacture
of
beer.
Barley
and
hops,
the
basic
ingredients,
are
available
in.
abundance;
-sufficient
to
supply
the
whole
of
Canada.
Furthermore,
no
sugar
or
sweetening
of
any
kind
is
used
in
the
manufacture
of
beer.
We
are
now
permitted
to
sell
during
each
month
only
ninety
percent
of
the
amount
of
beer
which
was
sold
during
the
corresponding
month
last
year
(1942).
Sales
of
bottled
beer
have
also
been
greatly
reduced.
These
restrictions
would
in
themselves
be
assured
of
creating
difficulties
of
distribution
and
complaint
but
these-difficulties
are
further
complicated
by
the
fact
that
no
consideration
lias
been
given
to
thespecial
concentrations
in
certain
communities
of
troops
and
war"
workers
since
last
year.
The
result
is
manifest
disappointment
and
injustice
to
the
civilian
population
as
well
as
to
the
troops
in
these
communities.
We
believe
that
supplies
of
beer
to
the'
armed
forces
should
in
any
event
be
excepted
from
the
rationed
supplies
of
the
civilian
population.
Because
of
these
restrictions
all
people
who
enjoy
a

of

will
have
to
suffer.
