Telegraphist McLean was telling us what he thought of the Bank of Montreal's recently announced rehabilitation plan for him and 1,115 other men of the Bank s staff who will soon be marching home in Victory. What Howard McLean wrote to us has been said in different ways by hundreds of fellow bank men, and letters, which are being filed at our head office, are still coming in daily from our people on practically all the fighting fronts. Post-war planning begins at home, and, as another of our people in the services said, "the old B of M looks out for us like a mother with a rather large family". (Counting service men, the Bank's family numbers more than 8,000.) Service men coming back to the Bank will not simply return to their old jobs. While they have been away, their standing in the Bank has been reviewed each year and salary in' creases have been noted in their records, according to their past performance. As the General Manager said in his annual address to shareholders, "It is our intention to place these officers on the salary and,' within a reasonable time, in the position, which they would normally have expected to attain had they been in the continuous service of the Bank. Our object is to sec that they, have not lost ground through their ser' vice to their country." has been spending a couple of weeks'herr on business1 in connection with local co-operatives, will leave at the end of this week on his return to Vancouver.

The financial statement of the Prince Rupert Chamber' of Commerce, presented at the annual meeting on Monday night, show ed an excess of $161.27 In expenditures over revenue. This was largely due to expenditure incurred In sending a delegation ta Victoria and elsewhere in the south In connection with the highway promotion activity.

AT STEWART Santa Claus Paid Sereral visits To ."Mining: Town' STEWART", Jan. 10 The chil dren of Stewart were very for tunate this year as Santa Claus visited them two or three times during the festive season. The community Christmas tree held in the hall of the Stewart branch of the Canadian Legion was a big success, largely owing to the kindness of former residents who are now in Prince Rupert and a Mr. Reny who remembered and sent a substantial contribution from the United States. The contribution from Prince Rupert came through the medium of Oliver Smith. During the' ceremony of dispensing gifts to the eager recipients the nether garments of Santa were seen to be gradually slipping floorward. The, situation was tense, until, relinquishing all holds, they landed. It was a hys terical moment. Gales of laughter swept the hall as Past President Lo Behnsen rush to the rescue and saved the situation and dignity of Santa.
