t At-- f I: l 5 I I 11 5;? pi PAGE TWO The Daily News Published, Every Afternoon Except Sunday by Prince Rupert Dsdly.News Limited, Third. Avenue. O. A. HUNTER Managing Editor DAILY EDITION . . . Friday, August 18,, 1944; EDITORIAL GOOD SERVANTS Somewhat refreshing in this day of strong criticism of anything- that smacks of government control is an editorial of the Vancouver News-Herajd giving a bouquet to the National Selective Service. The editorial observes that a survey by the Industrial and Social Development Council, an organiza-, tion primarily, labor in composition and. in a favorable position to report reliably the reactions of labor, receals that 42 per cent of local Vancouver district workers are in favor of continuation of National Selective Service aitdr the war. This percentage is. a remarkable tribute to the staff, of the Selective Service, the newspaper notes. The Service was a. hastily-organized body born of war necessity, and started, its work under the great handicap of having to. force complete and nation- u wiue regimentation on all Canadian workers. rf Inevitably initial, blunders were committed, inevitably, many previously free workers were indignant at the necessity of submitting to. compulsion and.; inevitably there was a body of' workers who w.ould. have complained on principle, even if the service had been infallible and angellically perfect. Yet the Service had functioned so efficiently and l satisfactorily, to all, concerned that nearly half the ' workers in the Vancouver area, not only look upon it as a. present "good thine." but are actuallv in fn. vor of retaining' it in operation after the war when the- pressing necessity- for national regimental is over. MAKING THINGS EASIER i People are inclined to accept moderately, awk-, ward situations with indifference merely because they have grown used; to them. They often subscribe to second-rate conditions for no other reason than that those conditions, and not better ones, have- developed with . seeming naturalness. They observe ..' tflem,;a'nd even complain about them as part of their I daily routine. Often a touch of imagination can correct such timuujuijs iq me oenent ol everyone, and with little expense to anyone. m Such a condition exists near the. intersection of Hays Cove Avenue and 6th Avenue, just beyond the ,vHays Creek Bridge. In front of Postal Station B is a wide, open area adjacent to the, street. At present it is, little better than a mud hole with an electric carrier pole standing in. the middle of it. It could be an ideal place for the Seal Cove bus to stop. At present the bus stops around the corner an Hays Cove Avenue, a corner that is undoubtedly one of the most dangerous in the city. Also, people wishing to call in at the suburban post office must now walk almost 100 yards fr,om the bus stop to do. so. This situation could be corrected simply by surfacing the space in front of. Station B and removing ( the carrier, pole. It is understood that the bus com-tiany. is willing to, allow their busses, to stop there if this is done. It is a convenience which could be provided: at very little cost. 5t FURNITURE LTD. PRISONER PASSPORTS i. Ttee ,is c?.ntentin in Britain, and, Canada that Uie Allied policy of "unconditional surrender" for Germany stiffens the resistance of German soldiers, tending to make them immune to Allied appeals to surrender. Anthony Eden has answered those who hold to this schoo of thought. In the House of Commons he stated that 7,7. per cent of the prisoners captured since the. landings in Normandy have admitted, on interrogation, that they had read Allied pamphlets and listened to. Allied; radio messages. Mr. Eden also, said, that 4ppor- cent of, the prisoners were carrying Allied leaflets, in their pockets when captured. Many of them; had; read the. leaflets and, regarded them as something in; the nature of a passport for the moment ofj surrender. A. MacKENZIE: PRINCE RUPERT . . .

Interest Taken In Family Woes Of Servicemen By Helen Hannerman OTTAWA, Aug. 18 O Keeping the home fires burning for the overseas fighting man with domesUc troubles Is the dally, work Of an unsunc spo.tlnn iin- ,der the Dependents' Allowance uoara government agency which ses that Pte. Johnny wanucKs next-or-Kin is cared for while he Is away. The Family Welfare Section, described by Its chief, Miss Ruth Harvey, of Westmount, Que., as the "liaison office between the board and the rest of Can.id.i " has Uie Job of ironing out difficulties in a serviceman' fnmilv and; sending him detailed re ports of, its wprK. "The board and its section here at, the Records Building have a great task in helping the men's morale and they do far1 more than lust hand outcheques ' each month," Miss Harvey told j The Canadian Press. "We think j it's a pretty big war Job." ' : Her desk, constanUy piled with servicemen's files to which I red, "urgent" cards are clipped, shows, a cross-section of her I work. There are letters from servicemen atklng the board's help in domestic entanglements letters from social service agencies reporting on what thtv have been able to acpomnllsh I In such ca?es, and letters Miw iiarvey or .one or her assistants has drafted giving full reports to servicemen overseas. The case of Mrs. H. was in front of Miss Harvey as she talked. Called on by a worried "oi-dier in, Italy the section got in touch with Mrs. H. through one of Canada's recognized service agencies, and It was found I necessary to administer hpr allowance until she could get on her feet. The agency's report said in part: "The family's living' condi tions have improved from one room in the basement of a dls-reputable, jpomjnghquse to a f iveTrooraecw, modejibungalow Their- homeUias been complete ly, furnished. Mrs. H. has more Incentive to keep her home looking attractive, the faml!;. diet ha improved and the children look better." "When we took over the administration there were more than $200 in debts, which we have narrowed down to $45.50. Cases in which dependents allowance must be administered, because of illness or any other reason, are supervised by Marie tttrr of Saskatoon, like Ml. Harvey a graduate of the Mont real School of Social Work. "It Is a serious thing to trke away a woman's right to handle her own money, so it muy. be for a serious reason only it the home w;ould be broken un or the children neglected if she muddled along by herself' said Miss Parr, The greatest care is taken in all administration cases supervised by her section.
