of
organization
were
the
detection
and
the
communication.
Telephones
were
the
most
sellable
means
of
communication
although
all
other
means
were
used
according
to
prevail
ing
circumstances.
Tnere
was
a
high
priority
on
aircraft
detection
messages.
The
speaker
referred
to
the
extremely
valuable-assistance
that
was
being
given
by
the
Royal
Canadian
Mounted
Police,
the
British
Columbia
Police,
forestry
and

patrols
and
lighthouse
keepers
as
well
as
the

supplement"
to

means
of
