A complete new trunk sewer line for Section One, the consideration of which was recommended to the city council last night by AU1. G.W. Kudderham, is only one of other major public works projects which the city of Prince Rupert has to face and on which action cannot be deferred much longer even though the city's financial position seems to preclude the possibility of action being taken in regard to them. Waterworks extension, street improvements, telephone augmentation are among the other things which must receive attention sooner or later. It is a good thing to start looking into them with a view to studying what may be possible. There has to be preliminary study, investigation and survey of all these matters and the sooner it is undertaken the better. Because- they seem' to be fairly stupendous propositions under existing conditions should not discourage some preliminaries being commenced even now. More Than Recreation . . . Recreational facilities may be very important in the general campaign to make conditions better for the youth of Prince Rupert and curb juvenile delinquency but, as Rev. E. W. Scott has suggested in a lengthy treatise on the matter, they are by no means the sole remedy. Mavbe, although thev have been Stressed so much in some quarters, they are not even j the most important. The fact that they are interes-1 ing and active makes many unimaginative people think of them as the only thing necessary to keep the young folks going in the best direction. Sir. Scott very correctly enumerates the breakdown of home life and home influence, lack of constructive adult leadership, he large wages earned by young boys, the leaving school too soon and weak points in education as other factors contributing to the tendency to juvenile delinquency. They are aspects that are entitled to consideration equal to recreational facilities in dealing with the growing seriousness of the spread of juvenile delinquency. A Second Theatre ... . It was interesting to learn in a letter written to the city council last night by D. G. Borland, the local )nanager, that Famous Players-Canadian Corporation is not only actually interested in the building of a second theatre in Prince Rupert but is ready to go ahead with it just as soon as certain government-imposed obstacles now standing in the way are removed Evidently, the most serious of these obstacles is the inability to secure a federal permit for the project. Otherwise, Mr. Borland intimates, his company has made other necessary arrangements and is all ready to proceed. Of course, the present condition of line-ups at the lone theatre in the city, about which the council complains would be very much relieved if there were a second theatre. It r.as shown how line-ups were eliminated by augmenting the post-office facilities in Prince Rupert. Anything that could be done to encourage Famous Players or any other interests fo establish another theatre in Prince Rupert might well be done. After all, the second theatre is the thing !ve are interested in rather than who should or should pot establish it. ACTIVITIES OF Y.M.CA. and V.W.C.A. (Bjr DOROTHY OARBUTTi U has just occurred to me that when the Service girls walk down to the Empress, thfy 'might enjoy walking straight down Second Avenue. I always .find It a much pleasanter way 'of getting there and. perhaps J I am 'wrong, a much quicker iway. Possibly it is because the j crowds are less and the pavements wider. Mrs. Strand, who is secretary of the Service Wive' Ciub. has asked me to tell the girls to met nt hpr house this comine Thursday. Mrs. Strand lives at 321 Eighth Avenue West. I think this Is very Kind indeed of Mrs. Strand and it will help to keep the club together In the interim. Last Sunday afternoon a very substantial sum was raised for the Red Cross by the Service girls of the RCAF-WD section jwho are stationed at , Group Headquarters. Instead of issuing a blanket invitation the girls invited their own Prince Rupert friends those ladies who have been so kind about having them in their homes The tea was held in the WD. Recreation Hall and, if you thought it look all bright and shining the week before then you should have seen it all spick and polished for this party. The RCAF boys had newly sanded the floor and the girls themselves had varnished and waxed it asd polished ail the furniture. Each barrack block had its own table and each table carried its own decorative scheme.

The answer is that your grocer takes your sugar, butter and other coupons to his bank, which acts as the government's agent in identifying and accounting for millions of spent coupons. This vast bookkeeping job known as "Ration Coupon Banking" is just one of the new, additional assignments which the banks have assumed as part of their wartime service. Another is the payment, on behalf of the government, of certain subsidies arising out of wartime price control. Still another is the handling of exchange transactions as agents of the Foreign Exchange Control Board. TON 1 01 ITS ' (AM IIS. In the main attraction of a basketball triple-header ut No. 4 Group.

At the same time the banks have arranged facilities to serve military establishments and new war-industry centres alike. Through loans to industry and agriculture, they have helped to increase the supply of raw materials, weapons and food. They have acted as issuing agents for approximately $5,700,000,000 worth of Victory Bonds and War Savings Certificates, as well as lending direct financial aid to the government through short-term loans. ... All this in the face of widespread staff changes resulting from enlistments of 8,360 trained bank employees. The war emergency hat proved the readlneti and ability of Canada's banks to adapt their services to new conditions. It has provod, once again, the strength of your banking system, which is providing a firm base of financial service for the greatest economic effort in the nation's history, and will with equal resourcefulness meet the challenge of the years ahead. 4 ' , ' y Il( It Well A great deal of uwful experience was gained from Victory gardens and some lessons learned.
