"There may be some point to the criticism in the House of Commons at Ottawa by the Progressive-Conservative member for Vancouver South, Howard Green, of governmental lack of policy in regard to Canadian Pacific defensive measures. Mr. Green said that, while United States, Russia and, even Australia, were active in regard to establishing permanent bases, Canada seemed to be very uncertain in the matter.

True, Japan may be defeated but the more realistic are not assuming that this part of the world can be permanently secure. On the face of it, Prince Rupert could not but be an important factor in any future defensive policy on the Pacific coast. In fact, it seems reasonable to assume that it is second to none in point of the strategic importance of its position. So, possibly, while naval and air installations are for the moment closing down, it may be only until such time as permanent joint defence policy is settled upon. Meanwhile Mr. Green does not seem to be satisfied in regard to what is being done in this connection. GRAYS, Essex, Eng.

OUTLINES PRO-REC POSSIBILITIES In Kelowna where a Pro-Rec program has been functioning for the last 15 years, its activities are financed wholly by money raised by athletic and gymnastic displays. Port Albernl, which has taken action In community recreation, has an annual budget of $5,000, raised by citizens who voluntar ily corftrlbute one per cent of meir incomes ror its support. These examples were pointed out by George McGregor, Prince Rupert recreation director, In a speech before the Rotary Club on Tnursday as ways In which enthuiastic citizens have overcome the financial burdens of a recreation program. "We have embarked on a big program, and next week we will come asking for your assistance, both financially and physically," he declared, "Next week Is Youth Week in Prince Rupert. Canvassers will call on youseeking financial assistance. I say that we need not only the financial backing, but the moral and physical support of every citizen." The Pro-Rec director expressed great admiration for the efforts of a group of young people known as the Western , Rush Rangers, who for five years have carried on an enterprising program of recreation in Westview almost wholly by their own efforts. "They are doing a marvellous job under great difficulties," he said. "The work they have done is amazing. These young people hewed" out a ball park which they later made into a children's playground and their spirit is an example for the whole city." Programs in arts, field athletics, gymnastics, music and drama are all contained In future plans for Prince Rupert, he declared. "Our idea is to Institute activities for groups of all ages, from pre-school children to adults," he declared. "This Is an involved program and one of our primary needs Is for trained leaders." Calls have already come In from several groups In the city for leaders to take part In the activities of those groups. Basketball seems to be' one of the most popular sports, but at present nothing can be done about It because of a lack of gymnasium facilities, he said.

Space LETTERBOX REPLY TO PATTUttO Editor, Daily News: Mr. Pattullo's letter was received by me In one of my most, reflective moods and, as" I read, the whole scene unravelled before my eyes but somewhat blurred. But I reflected some more and the" blurring cleared and everything Mr. Pattullo said was In the picture, but also some things he did not mention an oversight no doubt. One scene of wild commotion appeared In the picture. It seemed to me that men well dressed In uniforms commonly -worn by police were ' milling around among people. Some seemed ragged and some seemed underfed. The well dressed ones seemed to have "billy sticks" whips, and tear gas, and they seemed to be ! making good use of them, then In a flurry of excitement this vision ended and all was silent. However, still In a reflective mood I repaired me'to my magic mirror on the wall and addressed myself to It thusly: "Oh magic mirror on the wall, Who is the fairest candidate of all?" The mirror seemed to hesitate not an Instant and replied: I "The Dufferin's star has shone' clear as light, But he too will bow to the Illy white." And so ends my jeer's vision. To conclude In the same vein as your letter and to deeper reflection. "Inasmuch as you do this to the least of these you do it unto me." Best wishes for your future years. ALEX GILUANDERS.

The diet consisted largely of potatoes, flour and oatmeal. Butter and sugar supplies during those years were virtually nil and meat was very scarce. All supplies had been taken by the Nazis. There was no new clothing and, as tnere was no thread or mending materials, the Danes had to live in lags. As for fuel there was no coal, the people having to depended on what they could gather up.
