"Drunkeness is no longer a problem to us," said Chief Constable Malcolm McCulloch. Police records show an Improvement In drinking habits since the beginning of the century. In 1905 proceedings were taken against 183 persons In every 10,000 of the city s population on charges of being drunk and incapable. The 1935 figure was 57. in 10,000. Last year it was at a record low. 61 16. "Cinemas, dance , halls and improved opportunities for sports and other recreations are undoubtedly strong, counter-attractions to the public house," said Chief McCulloch. "Young people are growing up away from ?he atmosphere of public houses and when liquor again becomes plentiful I don't believe they will change their present temperate or tee-total habitsr BORROWED ROBES King Arthur of England was actually neither English nor a king.

PHONE RED 284 MpF in this Prince Rupert by BIDDEE JINKS Being slightly off the main thoroughfare between the East and the West, we in Prince Rupert sometimes feel by-passed by artists or otherwise talented people who travel from place to place. And then, once In a while, we find ourselves exceedingly favored in that one, even unobtrusively, has entered our midst. I am thinking of Mr. Bjorn Selvlg who, with his wife, is visiting his brother and family of this city. Mr. Selvlg heeds no introduction, particularly since his exhibit of last week In the Civic Centre. We who saw left that building with the quietude of those who look upon rare beauty indeed, the work of gen-ious! In black and white, shad ed with a flness beyond comprehension, Mr. Selvlg works touch the simple things of everyday living and turn them Into the unforgettable. One of my favorites was a sketch of a little oid log shack, sagging a bit, leaning In sympathy to the Norwegian hillside on which it had rested full many a year, the old sod roof showing signs of weathering-yet, it was beautiful. And a story compassed it about; for beyond this hill and this shack were others in' the district of Tele-mark where Mr. Selvlg and his wife took refuge for more than two years from the Gestapo. NnnrT of us know what that means. We hear of It, we read of It, we murmur, "It must be awful" and promptly go on with our way of life, untouched. UNDERGROUND MEMBER From the first, Mr. Se?vig was an active member of the Norwegian underground. He and one other man, who later became second-in-command, organized under the vey nose of the Gestapo in their home town of Tomsberg, Norway. Then a whisper came that they, the Sel-vlgs, were under suspicion. It would be wise to leave; for If mmtES MAKES NEWS LINES!

So the Selvlgs moved: but it meant more than just moving. It meant selling everything they possessed to provide means of livelihood while up in the hills And more than that for a Quisling agent had approached Mr. Selvlg with the offer of a high salaried position in the propaganda department of the government; he would be invaluable to them in placing before the people the propaganda, In black and white, that Quisling wanted them to see. Mr. Selvlg refused, choosing rather to suffer hardship with the countrvmen he honored and for the country so treacherously be-traved. They made for the hills, taking little besides Mr. Selvlg's easel and art-portfolio. Many times this proved his salvation, for when approached by an officer of the'GestapofMr. Selvlg was Innocently pursuing his vocation of drawing! Actually, he was invaluable to the Allies. In his search among the hills for subject matter for his pencil and pad. Mr. Selvlg found many other things, including ammunition and pamphlets dropped by the Allies. He gathered it and distributed It; and the Ger : mans stationed in Telemark had just cause to be restless and uneasy! Certain people were under suspicion, and from time to time their homes were searched by ! the Gestapo in the hope of ob taining even one damning bit of evidence. SEARCHED BY GESTAPO One evening a heavy knock sounded on the door of the shack which was the Selvlg's home. It was the Gestapo. Unceremoniously they entered, searching the house carefully, tlreir eyes peering everywhere, even Into the very desk whereon, In plain sight, lay the pamphlets gathered that day! They had not ' betn hidden away everything was lost. But somehow the officers did not see them and left the premises empty-handed! It brings to mind an old- old story of a man in a lion's den. Could it be could It that those men, looking, could not see? Another of Mr. Selvlg's drawings shows a German ship lying In the fog of early morning In the Tamsberg harbor. Morning after morning Mr. Selvlg walked along the wharf', sketching as opportunity permitted. Not only Is the scene Itself outstanding, but It is also representative of the loyalty with which the Norwegian people served the Germans who occupied their country; for this vessel lay In harbor two years for repairs that would normally have taken two months to complete! LIKE CANADA Mr. and Mrs. Selvlg have been In Canada for four months, They love our country and would like If you are one of the thousands of Canadians who started buying bonds in the very first Victory Loan, you , certainly are lucky. Even if you bought bonds in only a few of the loans, you still are lucky. You have your bonds tucked away for a rainy day. You're getting extra income by cashing the coupons regularly. With the war over, the question was whether or not Canadians still wanted to keep on buying bonds. To find the answer to this question, thousands of people all over the country were asked if they wanted to continue their wartime savings habit.

It has been one of their most protracted and arduous post-war missions and they rwept up to the limits of the Northern Ice Pack, operating in perpetual daylight. The craft operated from Reyk-Javik and Seydlsfjordur where, during a short stand-off period) "several of the more ardent members sallied forth and sue- j ceeaea in placing a snirt on a pinnacle overlooking the fjord," as an officer put It. The leatherback sea turtle reaches a weight of 1.000 pounds. to make It their home. Yet, unless certain regulations are waiv-' ed in their behalf, they -will sail for Norway in two months. It seems to me that we need more men of this calibre in Canada. Not only does Mr. Selvlg carry in his possession docu-1 ments of commendation and ap-' preciation for his services In the Underground, bearing the stamp of the high command, second I in-command, and with the sea) of the Norwegian government I These speak of character and stamina.
