The War At Sea . . . iu Saturday, May 27. 1944 (Carnival Coming Up . . . j The Givic Centre Carnival conceived, of course, to raise a substantial amount of money to furUier Prince Rupert's big community project but now our main annual celebration and one major community' entertainment event of the year is little more jthan a month away. ! The central committee, led by tlie indefatigable Norton Youngs, has got things well in hand and we lare told is now working on three major features vthe carnival queen contest, a bathing beauty competition and show and a five mile marathon relay' these, of course, being but a few of the more notable iof many carnival attractions. an as being the same which is a very great mistake. Tha.t tendency was probably responsible for the' remarks passed in the British House bv certain mem bers regarding the conduct of the American soldiers and winch led un to Mr. Morrison's defence. There have no doubt been some Prince Runert citizens t who have allowed themselves to be nreiudiced against the forces as a whole American and Canadian alike because of the odd unfortunate inpfftnnt .but, on due consideration, the most of us probablv iii.u, curiHiuennp- uieir numner, tneir vouth and rfAMAwnl sisivwl!4-?.n 4-1. . , nciiKim wummiuns, uiey are a minimum 01 DOtner. Much different is the situation of the war at sea today compared with that which existed as short a ; time back as a year ago. Only this week has a naval ; authority at Washington suggested that the enemy ; submarine menace had been reduced to what seemed to be almost an inconsequential minimum. That mav : be discounting it unduly for we do not forget com- paratively recent incidents when we lost our men through submarine torpedo attack, possibly not far ; from our own shores. ; However, the situation for us in the sea war is ! greatly improved from what it was a comparatively short time ago. Our convoys are moving on ail oceans near and far from enemy shores and we know that by far the larger portion of them are getting safely through. Our waterborne attacks are fanning . out to areas where a few months ago we would hardly dared thinking of reaching. Meantime the j enemy's navies remain huddled and camouflaged in . havens of refuge, evidently afraid to come out and ' meet us. ; Sea power is making old Britain bold again even though she is in range of the Nazi Luftwaffe and the enemv's great guns. Canadians and Americans are indiilrinpr. like the Russians, in trrcat exploits at sea and have reached a position with naval tonnage where they are even able to lend ships to the Russians. Sometimes we may not realize just how much better tinners are for na nf n r i n f. ... ...vffil Bill ' ' 1r"---- I 1 .1: (I X-v ,-' .J.i MEASURE SPACES BETWEEN GARDEN ROWS Oardcn authorities stress the importance of planting rows of seeds a certain distance apart, depending on the type of seed. Carrots and Lettuce Rows of carrots ought to be from 15 to 20 Inches apart, lettuce rows 15 Inches apart. Onions Rows of onions should be 15 inches apart and plants spaced every two to four inches. Peas Experts say that peas should be in rows 30 to 36 Inches apart, the plants separated by two Inches with about two inches of earth over them. Beans Beans require 24 inches between rows, the plants two to four Inches apart, seed covered with two Inches of earth. Rows of seeds planted too far apart waste valuable garden spaces. me carnival depends lor US success, uhjii mu Gne of blg advantages! pUbllC ana we are glad to suggest 111 tills COlUllin lO- about flower gardening Is that dav that anything any of us can do in any way to one can spend as much or a? vn, tv, ,.;.,i r.,.f ;i,ln,.lir k,r mi, nffnvtc in mn. little time on it as one desires oaration or in carrying .out, will be welcomed by those in charge and will be a work in an all around eood cause. Meanwhile we can all boost and talk up the carnival and get a kick out of doing it. American Gentlemen ... t The British Home Secretary, Rt. Hon Herbert Morrison has defended the conduct pf American soldiers in Britain from criticism levelled in the British Parliament with the statement that their con-fduct is "exceedingly good." Here in Prince Rupert ,we have had considerable experience with the presence of American forces during the past couple of years or so and we too can say that their conduct has been, on the whole "exceedingly good." The average American soldier, we would say, is an ami-iable young gentleman, trying to be friendly and 'agreeable, respectful of our laws and customs and, .altogether, a good and trustworthy person. True I there have been the odd unfortunate outbursts, which have been effectively dealt in several cases, but they have been very much the exception rather than . the rule. Bv and lartre. the American bovs here with C3 T t I us m Prince Rupert have well upheld the name of J their country as a people of good and respectable ' citizens. And we suppose, as Mr. Morrison indicates, that much the same can be said for the American forces in Britain. There is no intention of setting up the Americans here as an example to the men of our own several forces who, with the relatively few exceptions which ; may be expected where any large groups of men are assembled together, have also shown themselves to ' be of good control and repute, i There is something of a tendency to maimifv 1 the shortcomings or the misdeeds of a few and judge and still get satisfactory results. The expert, by trying to attain perfection in individual size of bloom or coloring, by developing elaborate beds of more or less exotic flowers, can spend hours dally in a plot scarcely larger than a decent bath mat. On the other hand, the person who has not the time or Inclination can develop a marvellous showing of blooms from a ridiculously small expenditure of time and labor. Beyond the prellminar-' digging and perhaps a half dozen fortnightly cultivations nothing else is required but the seeds or the plants. Best flowers to use in the latter case are bright, showy easily-grown things like petunias, por-tulaca, alyssum, cosmos, marl-golds, zinnias, gladiolus, and such. With the larger nowers spaced well apart and nipped at the top In the early stages of growth to encourage branching, It is possible to produce a bed of flaming color from early July un til frost. All that will be necessary will be to keep soil stirred and free from weeds until the plants really get well started. SPREAD OUT Vl.r.KTAW.KS One of the commonest mis takes of the Inexperienced Victory gardeners last year was to plant all his or her vegetable seed in one afternoon. The result at best was a regular feast of fresh vegetables for a short time In the summer and fall, then famine. By dividing the carrot and ether seed into three or more equal parts and planting a couple of weeks apart, then a continuous succession of fresh, tender vegetables is obtained through out the summer and fall. There are some things like peas that must be planted early and It is inadvisable In most parts of Canada to continue sowing much after early June. As a Tule most vegetables can be sown at ten- day to fortnightly Intervals from early May until the first of July at least and the harvest of them cannot be spaced evenly. Plants should be allowed to germinate and grow their first strong set of leaves and then be thinned. Carrots, beets and seed onions should be thinned to at least an inch apart. When the plants begin crowdlna themselves every other one can be removed and eaten. Flowers will be thinned when well started to the full room required by the mature plant TMjSJneans about half as much space between as the plant will be high, with a foot or more for ACTIVITIES OP Y.M.C.A. and Y.W.C.A. Illy Dorothy Rarbutt) Fraser Lister's R.CA.F. concert party the "Joe Boys" will be at the Capitol Theatre Sunday evening. Tickets are obtainable from the Y.M.C.A. supervisor as usual. There are none at the hut. These boys have been here three times before and are one of the most popular concert parties to come this way. When they first started they just travelled the West Coast, going to all the out lying posts arid a;r stations, but since then they have branched out and have been giving concerts back east.

The new regiment had the first of their fortnightly dances on Thursday night and It was a great success. They found favor in the eyes of the large number of girls who attended because of their gentlemanly conduct, their friendliness and the notable spirit of good fellowship between ihe officers and men. Their colonel was telling me that the eglment has three dance orch estrasa three-piece, a five-oiece and a large eight-piece orchestra. If they are all as rood as the one that played this night the continuous success of their dances is assured.

Even If It were, the results would be far from perfect because a few seeds may not germinate, others may be eaten by birds, some washed out or killed by drought during the first" growln? stage. Because of these factors the amateur Is strongly advised to sow average seed somewhat thicker than he wihcs the final plants to stand. This does not apply to bulky things like peas and beans, which if bought from a reliable Canadian source will eermlnate practically one hundred percent and because they are planted about an inch deep they are not affected by ordinary drought or flooding; But tiny seed like that of lettuce, carrots, onions, popples, cosmos and such plants CANNING- CHECK-UP Is time ly right now. It will save time when the victory gar den Is yielding Its treasures to have sealers checked and all ready for use. Imperfect ones should be set aside for Jam or pickles, and metal screw bands ihould be examined for corrosion, or cracks. Damaged sealers or screw bands should be replaced with new ones. Tlie processor should be In good working order. If the 1U1 of the water bath no longer fits it should be replaced with a new one. The gauge on the pressure cooker needs examining and may need cleaning. A tooth pick or sharpened match will get at the small openings In the pet-cock, safety valve and pressure gauge. CANADIANS lack vitamin c,a recent report of the Combined Food Board showed, and' this Is no new wartime devcloimient but a long-standing lack, Dr. L. B Pett, chief of the Pensions Department Nutrition .Service says, Main reason we don't' get enough of the vital' vitamin Is that we don't understand the need for It and' don't know where to find It. With strawberry season almost upon us we won't have to worry NAVY WINS IN SOCCER Defeated1 llevrvr last1 Night' to' Assume Leadership of league Navy whipped Reserve in an Area' Soccer League game laM night on Acropolis Itlll by the same unusually high score that the latter defeated Air Force by a week ago, namely, 7 to 0. Tommy Druce had a big evening for the sailors, bagging five goals, all In Ue second half, which brought his total rii the two tills so far to seven. During the first part of the same. Navy had the ball In the Reserves' end most of the time but It wasn't until later In the first half, when play was more even, that the winners scored. MacDonald picked up a rebound on a kick by Druce and booted It home. Krause was thrown off balance by Druce's kick and had no chance to save the second hard shot. , The second half was scarcely underway when Druce tallied to make it two to nothing and from then on the Issue was never in doubt. Druce soon booted in two more counters. Cross added another to make it five to nothing and Druce scored the two last goals. Reserves came close to scoring a number of times but the fast work or Gardiner, in the Navy leUn board this week showing ulctures of the YM.CJl. hut at the Presidio In San Francisco. It brought back so many memories to me, for It was Uiere I was initiated Into Junior hostess work during the last war. I was attending the San Francisco School of Fine Arts and joined a group of girls called The Minute Oirla." We used to get up at the erack of dawn, get on neat little heel-length overalls and bulgy tarns to match ana take candles and fruits across the nay where we met returning soldiers. This was in 1918-19. We also were taken by chaperones to this same Presidio to dance with the boys. Here I met "Tex." "St Looey," "Savannah" and so on. Ah me, Time Marches On. The Y.W.OA. Servke Wlvei Club met Thursday afternoon at the "Y." There were eight ladles and seven children present and tea was served by Mrs. Balrd. For several months all the children, with the exception of Bobby Strand and little Brian Cooper, have been wee ilrls but all of sudden our juvenile attendance has become preponderantly masculine. But that doesn't mean, mind you, that the dolU and doll prams aren't used as much as ever. They are used even more than ever which 'proves that all men are mothers at heart. eat plenty of the luscious berrlec. Fifteen fresh berries provide the day's requirement. Other sources of a day's ration of vitamin C are l1? grapefruit, 3V4 oranges, cups of properly cooked green beans, two cups of tomatoes or tomato Juice, three cups of grated cabbage, seven baked potatoes or 25 apples. Nobody would care to eat Just one food to get their vitamin C so Dr. Pett provides the day ration broken up Into quantities of various foods one glass of orange juice or grapefruit Juice; olus one proerly cooked potato, plus one large serving of tomatoes.
