Col.
D.
B.
Martyn,
whose
transfer
from
Prince
Rupert
to
Vancouver
we
announce
today,
will
be.
remembered
in
Prince
Rupert
as
the
area
commandant
during
really
anxious
days
of
this
war
for
Prince
Rupert
days
when
we
were
under
the
direct
threat
of
enemy
attack
and
when
we
thought
for
a
good
long
time
that'the
Japanese
were
almost
sure
to
give
us
a
bombing
if
they
did
not
actually
attempt
a
landing.
Happily,
the
event
never
happened
and,
now
that
it
probably
never
will,
there
may
be
no
harm
in
revealing
that,
under
Col.
Martyn's
energetic
and
dynamic
military
leadership
here,
an
organization
and
esetablishment
was
developed
which,
had
it
ever
needed
to
have
been
put
to
the
test,
would
have
undoubtedly
given
a
good
account
of
itself.
Col.
Martyn's
drive
and
determination
in
building
up
and
maintaining
the
defences
of
Prince
Rupert
in
the
days
when
it
appeared
they
might
be
vitally
needed
may
have
engendered
the
resentment
of
some
people.
However,
a
good
soldier
cannot
always
be
thinking
about
the
popular
reaction
to
his
policies
particularly
in
critical
times,
and
there
were
some
of
us
who
came
to
know
that-,
behind
Col.
Martyn's
broad
engaging'
smile,
there
was
a
will
of
iron.
The
colo.i'4
cu-tiari.s
a-
victory
pervades
the
war
picture
and
as
the
local
anxiety
diminishes;
We
can
say
that
he
leaves
many
friends
who
will
wish
him
the
best
of
fortune
in
his
new
command.
As
long
as
the
war
lasts,
Prince
Rupert
will
be
a
vital
point
in
the
scheme
of
military
things
and,,
even
if
the
possibility
of
its
being
a
point
of
combat
may
have
been
reduced,
it
will
still
be
an
important
ad-mjnistrative
centre
in
the
Pacific
theatre
and
there
will
be
continuing
responsibilities
for
Col.
Martyn's
successor
as
area
commandant.

VFirst
of

the
Board
found
out
the
kind
and
quantity
of
garments

have.
VThis
showed
that
the
public
is
asking
for
more
than
is
actually
needed.
VSo
plans
were
made
to
see,
by
directing
production
all
down
the
line,
if
we
could
meet
the
swollen
demand
as
nearly
