Over The fop Again . . . Prince Rupert has exceeded its Red Cross campaign objective by fifty per cent and more. Once The Salvation Army and its local commandant, Adjutant K. D. Brundson, who is himself in the war services for the duration, are deserving of special note and commendation on the occasion of the official openincr of the new local service men's hostel, a As the great Russian armies move down from the north, now being poised on the Dniester River at the borders of Bessarabia, possession of which has long been disputed more or less passively between Russia and Rumania, the anex of war interest turns once more to southeastern Europe and the Balkans which have been so often the centre and focal point of major conflicts. Major developments may well be expected in the immediate offing from that area. They may be of the greatest importance in the whole development of the global war picture. It is already evident that the Nazi forces in that re ACTIVITIES OF Y.M.CA. and Y.W.C.A. I By DOROTHY OARBUTT During the last war the Y.W.

With who weie already In France do ing their well known and wide spread work for the Army, the Y.W.C.A. were able to open in France 43 clubs and recreation huts for members of the Queen Mary Army Auxiliary Corps W.A.A.C.'s where girls in lso- jO i lated camps and base towns could spend their leisure hours with or without their men friends. There was a real need for counter-attraction In some of these places and a centre where every girl could be certain to find a welcome and a friend ly adviser. The same work was carried on for the members of the QMAAC while tralnlnr in England, where another 43 centres were organlred.

It is evidence of the appreciation and generosity of the people of Prince Rupert for a grand cause. The people here show that they realized the Worthiness of the function of the Red Cross in these days of war when the need is so great. The New "Sally Ann" . . . was privileged to do. Hostels for the relations of the badly wounded, for wives going out to Switzerland to meet their husbands, meeting prisoners and their wives returning from abioad and housing their wives until their husbands were demobilized, are only some of the many activities undertaken. A hut near Euston, open day and night for stranded girls, and one or two Enquiry Bureaux were constantly used, as for Instance that In Trafalgar Square.

It Is a well known axiom that It is easy to criticise but. this fact notwithstanding. It Is equally true that constructive criticism, add especially If of fered as such, is generally welcome and often encouraged. It Is, there fo;e. as constructive criticism, that the following remarks are offered. There are several features tn tCtUtV ICisir IllUtt VU I Vl In view of the fact that radio reception here Is rather uncertain, it is not always po&dble to b.lng tn outside stations, compelling residents here. Hhe word "compelling" Is used advisably, as of course the other alternative it to turn your radio off' to listen to the local station. The chief complaints in this matter appear to be poor an Programs offering little or no Interest to the residents of Pilncc Rupert and a news service which is very little better than useless. As these are the main crtU cL'ms, let us examine each separately, and briefly.
