BEA
BERNER
HOME
FROM
OVERSEAS
Prince
Rnpert-born
Nursing
Sister
Back
From
Overseas
Service.
On
furlough
after
nearly
two
years'
service
overseas
as
a
nursing
sister
with
the
Royal
Canadian
Amy-
Medical
Corps,
Lieut.
Beatrice
Berner
returned
home
Monday
on
the
Princess
Adelaide
to
receive
an
affectionate
and
exciting
home-coming
reception
and
a
hearty
welcome
from
her
many
friends.
As
"Bea"
was
born
In
Prince
Rupert,
received
all
her
schooling
here
and.
In
fact,
has
always
lived
here
except
for
the
time
she
was
In
training
for
a
nurse
at
St.
Paul's
Hospital,
Vancouver,
and
since
her
enlistment,
she
is
naturally
exceedingly
well
known
and
has
always
.been
highly
popular.
Daughter
of
Al
Berner,
divisional
superintendent
of
the
Canadian
National
Railways
here,
Lieut.
Berner
was
greeted
by
railway
officials
all
along
the
line
as
she
came
west
and
many
of
these
sent
wires
to
her
father,
who
had
already
accumulated
a
special
file
telling
of
her
progress
on
the
western
trip,
of
how
well
she
looked
and
how
happy
she
was.
Among
the
officials
who
greeted
her
was
W.
T.
Moodie,
general
superintendent
for
British
Columbia,
who
happened
to
be
at
Kamloops.
Following
her
graduation
from
St.
Paul's
in
1939,
Lieut.
Berner
Immediately
made
offer
of
service
?.nd
was
finally
called
in
February,
1943.
For
a
few
months
she
was
at
Camp
Na-nalmo
and
arrived
In
England
September
11,
1943.
After
five
months
In
England,
she
was
sent
to
Italy
where
she
spent
13
months,
arriving
back
in
England
Just
before
"V-E"
Day.
Bea
distinguished
herself
with
a
school
record
here,
having
never
been
absent
or
tardy
throughout
13
years
from
receiving
class
to
matriculation,
which
she
won
from
Booth
Memorial
School.
She
also
had
an
enviable
athletic
record
from
schooldays.
She
won
the
women's
single
tennis
championship
of
Prince
Rupert
in
1943
and
continued
her
tennis
leadership
while
an
active
service
by
winning
a
nursing
sisters'
championship.

Berner's
happiness
at

was

HE'D
LIKE
TO
KNOW
YOU
The
service
you
receive
from
your
bank
is
rendered
so
quietly
and
efficiently
that
the
human
values
behind
it
may
not
have
occurred
to
you.
Think,
for
instance,
of
the
confidence
you
rest
in
your
branch
bank
manager,
perhaps
without
even
knowing
him
well
personally.
You
ought
to
know
him
better.
By
depositing
your
money
in
his
branch,
you
made
him
and
his
staff
the
custodians
of
your
account
and
the
transactions
relating
to
it.
You
hold
him
in
high
trust,
knowing
that
your
private
affairs
will
be
kept
private.
ii
You
will
find
your
bank
manager
a
trained
ir-P
man
wno
has
come
up
through
the
ranks,
and
who
will
be
glad
to
discuss
your
financial
needs
with
you
and
to
inform
you
as
to
the
appropriate
service
his
bank
can
render.
Should
you
desire
a
personal
loan
to
meet
some
unexpected
expense,
talk
it
over
with
him.
You
can
depend
on
receiving
courteous,
understanding
and
friendly
consideration.
Small
loans
are
just
one
of
the
services
your
bank
provides.
You
may
be
surprised
to
learn
of
many,
other
services
available
for
your
use.
