B.s a result of the visit here this week of Gerry Mathison, provincial , ProRec director, there are prospects of effective. 'co-ordination of organized; physicial education and recreational- activities along lines similar to those which were in operation a few?years ago and which were interfered with by the war. Organizations which have been active here in this wofck have been doing a good and worthwhile job. The move to bring all heir activities together into one broad program should be productive of a much more efficient effort and program. It will also have the direct recognition and support of the provincial government department which has just such undertakings under its wing. if , Ve remember the fine start that waa made by Pro-Rec in the old days around the time when the war was starting. Conditions are changed now and this sort of activity is needled mora in Prince Rupert than it tjyer was. w m Wcr Stab in the Back . . . 'Trie first clause of the final act of Germany's military surrender signed by Keitel, Grand Admiral Friedeburg and Marshal of the Luf t-waftte Stumpff reads as follows: "We, the undersigned, acting on behalf of the; .German High Command agree to unconditional surrender of all. armed forces on land, sea and in the air, as well as of all forces at present under German command, to p for Fun - and Health... S-W-l-M the Supreme Command of the Red Army and simultaneously to the Supreme Commartd of the Allied Expeditionary Forca" With this act of solemn surrender, the recognized, heads of, t the German army, navy, and airforces have acknowledged themselves as finally beaten, a fact which is well put in the following comment by the neutral press: "The total capitulation, following on total war, makes it impossible for a new 'stab in the back' myth to develop, which, in 1920 was so ably exploited by the Stahlehelm and the Nazi organizations. The German army has been well beaten it is crushed and annihilated, without having received a single 'stab in the back.' In times to come no one will ever be, able to say it was invincible." Switzerland-Gazette de Lausanne. . "It will be extremely difficult to launch a new version of the 'stab in the back' legend. This time the generals have been forced to admit their responsibility. Doenitz has now expressly admitted defeat, and has announced the final general capitulation in such a way that every German connot fail to understand that the Third Reich is thoroughly de--feated." Sweden-Sylsvenska Dag-bladet. This does not mean, however, that Germany will not at some later date try to revive the 'stab in the back' legend. It was a German army that had been out-fought and out-generalled over a period of several years in every theatre of war in which it had , operated, that finally surrendered, and the above comment is well worth remembering in relation to press "interviews" with leading captured Germans, who may well express views calculated to revive and support the 'stab in the back' legend that Germany was not defeated through any fault of the army, but through the politicial machination and faulty decisions and direction of the leaders of the Nazi party. j$ There's proper fit and perfect cut in these 30! s MR 2 BBS s SB SB Be Trunks styled by JANTZEN SKINTITE KLINGTITE Fabrics are colorful, comfortable too, and include: GABARDINES RAYONS BENGALINRS WOOLS PRICED AT $2.95 83.50 $3.95 "THE MEN'S SHOP" HAST CHANCE ! iTo Get On the Voters' List jVlONDAY, TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY Our canvass shows many voters were missed.
