Our Canadian military forces overseas are not marking time, not waiting for a collapse inside Germany. They are slugging it out with the enemy in battles as fierce as any we have had since the opening of hostilities. A section of Canadian citizens have begun to relax, lulled into false security by a feeling that the war is all but won, and that so far as the home front is concerned, it can coast into the finish line. Fprtunately those who are relaxing are believed to constitute a very small minority of Canada's total population, but these people, particularly, need to near tne truth; that in beating down the fanatical .Nazis, there can not be a moment of relaxation, neither along the battle lines in Germany nor along it, a I, J. i. ri i i.v i a i i uic nuaie ii uiil in Lanaua,- mat cne supply lines irora Canada's agricultural districts and war plants are strained' as never before, and that the maintenance of these' supply lines to our men on the firing lines depends1 primarily on the support which individual Canadians give to the Victory Loan campaign. MAKING CITY MORE ATTRACTIVE : The Prince Rupert Chamber of Commerce members, touring Alaska recently, were impressed with the community attractiveness of Juneau and Ketchikan and even Wrangell. They found modern concrete payed streets smooth as in a big city good sidewalks, attractive stream-lined stores and restaurants and at Juneau a community, hotel with all the atmosphere and equipment of the best to be found in any big city. Prince Rupert, It might as well be admitted, is a dingy contrast a statement which is made because the time has come when Prince Rupert just must be doing something to dress itself up and offset the notorious reputation that is becoming widespread about the city's dilapidation, untidiness arid deplorable lack of accommodation and service to the travelling public. The port which has the outlet highway and which is now in a position to capitalize more uiau ever on us position in the routes of northwest! w.ci oiiuum uui nave to xoiiow me example ot a smal town, along the Alaska coast but should lead the way in community attractiveness. It is highit-jme that Prince Rupert people, in community spirit and civic pride, explored every means possible towards, dstically improving this city along the 'lines' of better streets and buildings and adequate accommodation for many people who, as a result of a finish-edt;highwayr could, be glad to stop over with us and enjoy what we have to offer. The members of the Prince Rupert Chamber of Commerce Alaska good-wfll tour"part,v were impressed from what thev saw mjhe relatively small towns of southeastern Alaska what is needed here. They are in a position to take a lead in the very imnortant matter of dressinp up Prince Rupert and making it as attractive and interesting as possible for the post-war tourist trade. It wou d .J another good result accruing from the goodwill tour to Alaska. i (improvements i AT SCHOOLS ARE I The- monthly business meeting , of the Prince Rupert Parent- Teacher Association was held Wednesday evening at Borden Street School.

Monty has said, V battle must be won before it is fought." And in the pages of history, the term, "Monty Barrage" will be used to describe his essential preliminary to attack . . . thousands of guns pouring destruction on the enemy. And if our Allied Commanders are to keep mounting a succession of offensives, supplies, of planes, tanks, guns and shells must never slacken. Canada's Victory Loans are essential, to provide the money to build these weapons. The 7th Victory Loan will soon commence. To make it a success, every Canadian must play a part on the home front worthy of the heroic efforts of the men and women bearing the brunt of battle. Buy One More Bond Than Before By doing this you will create a nest-egg of savings for the future. And remember, now that Compul. sory Savings have been relinquished . . . an additional 70 million dollars must be. raised in Canada through Voluntary Savings in Victory Bonds. Since the war is now in its most intensive stage, Canada's over-all borrowing must increase-by some 320 million dollars. Plan now to buy at least one more bond than before.
