BUY COAL NOW "SMALL SHIP" CONTRACTS (Continued from Page One) slon on this comment regarding Soviet plans for shipbuilding on this coast received considerable discussion, finally, with amendments, being wrought into a motion and adopted. Mr. Taranger said that he un derstood that the Russian gov ernment was eager for new cargo ships and that there was a possibility that they mignt have them built on the Pacific Coast, "We might acqpalnt them with the fact that there Is an available shipyard In Prince Rupert," he said. "I think we should lay ihe idea-before the C.N.R. management first," J. S. Black suggested, "I don't think we should go over their heads." The meeting adopted a motion by Mr. Love that the Russian Trade Commission in Montreal, purchasing commission in New York, and the Soviet ambassador be written pointing out Prince Rupert's advantages as a shipping port to Russia and that the ambassador be asked for information on Russia's shipbuilding plans on the Pacific Coast, suggesting fliat there is a shipyard here which might, be available. Copies of the letters will be sent to C.N.H. president Vang ban. A suggestion by Fred Scadden that the committee was taking on work which was within the scope of the Chamber of Com-., merce was countered by W. E. Denning, Canadian Legion dele gate. "If It was.their job, they should have done It," he declared. A motion by S. Marshall that the Prime Minister be informed that If Prince Rupert does not get shipyard work, It refuses to send a member ot Parliament to Ottawa failed to fina a seconder and was met with Jeering cries of "Secession, Secession I" SAVOY HOTEL Carl Zarelli.

Dressed in khaki trousers and blue monkey jackets while In classes, Sea .Cadet officers representing the major Canadian cities from the prairie provinces and 12 officers from interior and coastal B. C. had breakfast in the wardroom of "Naaen" on trie first day of their arrival and, by 9 o'clock, were on the parade ground to commence the day.

McCnn, R.C.N.V.K., one of the Navy's newest officers to receive his commission from the lower deck. Keen to grasp all phases of naval training in an operational command at' Esqu:mait, Sea Cadet officers boarded H.M.C. corvettes, Bangor - type minesweepers and Fairmiies on patrcs in coastal waters, A turn at the wheel of these fighting ships as well as carrying out executive officer's duties, lowering life boats while under way and true sea-going routine Is practised by the Sea Cadet officers. While training at sea is by far the most interesting phase of the curriculum at "Naden," classes ashore are conducted as necessary before Sea Cadet officers can grasp In full the significance of 'the many duties at sea. Elementary lessons in the R.C. N. signal school, many taught by Yeoman of Signals aeorge Cole, R.C.N.V.R. of Reglna and Vancouver, have proven a popurar course. Cole has been in the Volunteer Reserve for man- years on the prairies and in 1939 went active. There is never a dull moment when George cole Is in charge. With a grin and a Joke, he is one of the R.CN.'s most popular Instructors. Classes arc-In aldis lamp, flag signalling and fleet messages. They are practised ashore, from shore to ship, and afloat. Lectures toy Lieut. Jackson in the Torpedo School and Naval Customs and Traditions by Lieut. Cmdr. Falrweather are Important classes Sea Cadet officers attend.
