R. Pearkes, V.C.. M.P., while hopeful that the young Uni-Mr e- ATallons organization will achieve its primary objective of maintaining and permanent world peace, suggested in an address here thJt the certainty of Mrs such peace is by no means assured as yet and that, in any possible combina-Kenvtion of conflict that would bring aboutWorld War III, Canada would be a rd 'chief battleground and prize. In view of the terrific new scientific develop-K"rs .ment of the instruments of destruction and the annihilation of distance by bisoi.the new powers of aerial propulsion, such a war would be one of utter sur- Mr. :,prise anil quick destruction, the General said. The point was that there would ms' be no chance for preparation of defences after conflict became imminent. Mrs General correctly enough suggested that Canada's geographical posi-Misj tion in the new world of-today made it highly advisable that she should Dtiri be looking without delay to her- defences against attack. Her natural de-iiou Ifences of distance and inaccessability ' were no longer effective. She was vulnerable from everv ouarter. irere in Prince Rupert, the strategic position of which had been amply demonstrated in the last war, the General who had general command of 'Pacific Coast defences in the days of serious Japanese throat appropriately enough reminded us that we should be directly concerned with manning ;qf our own defences and one way of doing so was to encourage the speedy ;m'ruiitnx of the active and reserve forces of .navy, army and air. The General completely dismissed political considerations when he urged citizens to-'support the government in the defence measures which it saw fit to take. THE WHITE CANE THE WHITE CANE, the symbol of . ' one who suffers with blindness, is also a challenge to the rest of the society and is in many ways an eloquent object lesson. It is a challenge in that it demands attention and sympathetic support from those of us who enjoy the often unappreciated blessing of maintained sight. It is an object lesson inasmuch as it shows that the one so afflicted is still mingling with society, still striving to take his part, still anxious 16 maintain independence and seli-respeet within the limitations im-5osed. ; The Canadian National Institute tor the Blind, has developed a nihil heJpful and understanding program. It frankly seeks aid, so as to be -able to conduct its valuable and rmerciful work. But such work is ilso hinged to a determined purposeto help the blind to help themselves. -If, through the agency of the institute, a blind person can be -placed in industry, and made a self-supporting individual, such an outcome pleases the institute more than tany other. This is because the organization realizes the psychological ipect of the lives of those whom it serves. There are also other ways in 'which the institute ministers, in help-ring the blind to help themselves. No imore appealing cause exists., than in j this effort to sustain and encourage J those in "darkness" that never lifts, t . There is every reason to. give unstinting support to anything that afds the institution in its provision of services to the blind and in its prevention of Windness program. I ADVERTISING NEEDED ; MAKING a magnificent contrihu-' I tion to the cause of victory and I of freedom, advertising during war ! years was instrumental in helping to maintain the high morale of the people of the United Nations; in- creased the production of weapons . of war; stimulated recruitinrr and ' boosted the sale of Victory Bonds and War Savings Stamps. Today advertising is helping labor, management and government iron out grievances and settle un-i rest, strikes and difficulties now im-.neding our peace-time production. Indications are that Canada is on , the threshold of an era of progress and prosperity unparalleled in the ;long history of our country. To attain the highest degree of growth . and expansion during this era, business, industry and finance must be ; backed with sound, sane and honest advertising. IF WE WERE AMERICAN :F PRINCE RUPERT, the terminus I of a transcontinental railway, was an American rather than a Canadian port, it would be as ridiculous to think, of shipping goods from Seattle to Alaska as it would from San Francisco or Los Angeles. Products originating anywhere in the middle and eastern states would naturally be delivered by railway here and transferred to ships at this port for the short haul to such Alaska points as Ketchikan, Wrangell, Petersburg, Jimeau, Sitka and Skagway as well as for the longer passage to the western ports of Anchorage, Cordova and Seward. There would be . a. tremendous volume of such traffic here.'."'-' ' . With Seattle only interested in the exploiting of the territory and the American steamship lines apparently little concerned as to whether they have the Alaska traffic any longer, the incongruity of this port not being put to fuller use as the jumping off point for the territoiy now stands out sharply. Alaskans have been desirous in a passive sort of way for many years to have Prince Rupert rather than Seattle as their port of entry to the United States Now their 'passive desire is becoming -an insistent demand. The maritime strike which held up shipping from Seattle and precipitated a serious shortage of food and all other supplies was the last straw. A correspondent, writing todav from Petersburg, suggests that lack -of knowledge about Prince Rupert and its position and possibilities has been a factor in: the past in this port not being put to' fuller use in serving the territory. Those who know the situation over the years may not agree with this for the present is not the first time that Alaskans themselves have endeavoured to trade this way, being prevented from so doing by restrictions and fetters imposed one way or another by Seattle and the shipping companies which controlled from that port But never before, it seems, has there been such a determination as there is today on the part of the Alaskans to cut away the shackles which have tied them" body and soul to Puget Sound. Now they mav really be able to do something about it. Of course, anything that Prince Rupert can do to promote its own position at this psychological moment should most certainly be done, One nompany which devotes 75-S0 of their advertising budget to daily newspapers sits: Nevrepapers hare been the pillar of the company adverUsins prog ram throhghout 50 years."

J. S. Wllscji, principal of Borden Street School, stated that 120 pupils were buying half a pint of milk dally and he was sure that the children reaped a very real benefit from it. He heartily endorsed a resolution ion the matter which had been I brought up by Mrs. Q. -R S. I Blaekaby. i There was an excellent attend-i ance with Mrs. George Howe, I president, and Mrs. S. J.

'PEARKES (conUnued from page 1) ' wage war, through having the money and the power, were Great Britain, the United States and Russia. "In any combination of conflict between these powers," he de-clarejl, -tbls country .would become a major theatre of operations." Nor would there be time to mobilize, equip and train figbUng forces after the threat of war became imminent. Therefore, the task today was; to provide, immediately for the defence of Canada agains.t the possitle calamity of another world war. Gen. P;arkes pictured the ' awful suddenness ' with which, through the development of alr-. borne transport and weapons of tremendous destruction, attack of another war might be made. There would be the greatest of fecrecy and the attack w,ould be launched, no doubt, from long distances with airborne troop:, and weapons of the nature of the atomic bomb, carried by jo: propelled, pilotless alrcrar. Devastating attacks might almost instantly destroy great cities "Therefore the bombers must not get through and all possible means must be devised to prevent them." Urges Support Defence Plans At the moment the b;st brains of the peace-loving naUons were .being employed in planning de- fences and the weapons to assure peace. Canada was no exception and was launched upon a cam paign to raise regular forces of young men for navy, arm and air augmented by substantial trained reserves. "It Is essential that we have thpse defence forces, and It is equally essential ihat the government of the day be supported in its plans." Gen. Tearkes. as he oiened his address, congratulated the city in having acquired svr a fin? asset as the Civic Centre. He trusttl that It would continue t? be maintained r.s we!l in the future as was bein done ted ay. Present W. D.
