' Manufacture of all British Columbia's logging, mining and farming equipment within this province is one of -several suggestions which were advanced at a reconversion conference held Jn Vancouver with a view tcflobking into the situation arising :. from the lay-offs in war industries. '-'Frank Woodside, manager of the British Columbia and Yukon Cham-n'.V- ..j . ber of Mines, said: "We are bring-' ing in stuff from all parts of the ; : world when our men here are capable of manufacturing anything for mines, logging or farming." All of which smacks of the idea that British Columbia could be self-. : . contained as far as her own needs are concerned and yet dispose of her .goods to the rest of the world. In pother words,1 British Columbia could ell-to the world but buv nothing .from the world which is exactly ; :"the process that all nations seem to ""'".'.jilan'ori pursuing to maintain their .v '.'.'individual prosperity. ""l". ' '." Of course, it is obvious that, if ...there is to be no buying, there shall be no selling. If each nation is suf- ' ficient until itself, there shall be no ..world trade and that idea of establishing prosperity either nationally or -rhinternationally will have been ex- 'M - ploded. . i .. i mi..

THE MEN'S SHOP Trained Recreational Leaders Trained recereational leaders, equipment, and organization are the outstanding needs for the development of leisure-time programs. Of these three needs, good leadership is the most essential for the continuing life of a program. There have been instances of fine new buildings churches, schools, community halls, having been erected and opened amid great enthusiasm only to gradually lose their appeal to young people. Those who contributed to their erection and equipment are left with a sense of disillusionment at what they consider the lack of appreciation by youth for what has been offered. The failure of such projects may be due, in most cases, to the lack of good leadership. Given good leadership, people can learn how to make better use of existing facilities and to adapt even modest means with satisfying results. A good recreational leader is one who acts as a stimulator and guide to young people in planning and conducting their leisure-time programs. Since youth's interests are often limited by lack of experience, the leader's task is to widen the horizons of youth'by helping to open up new interests and activities that individuals and groups may develop into, responsible and mature citizens. The good leader is not a dominating personality but a professional "educator" with special training in the leisure-time field and his or her job can no more be achieved through amateur efforts than can school teaching or any other professional or branch, of public service. The governments, of Alberta, British Columbia, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba have made valuable contribution to the solution of this problem through leadership training courses financed partly from federal and partly from provincial funds. Any community conscious of its need may thus have a leader equipped with certain basic skills in the field of recreation although training acquired during such short courses (six weeks) cannot be expected to provide highly specialized professional leaders. Recognizing the need 'for leadership several Canadian towns have appointed youth leaders or counsellors. Keloyna is one instance where a youth consellor has been appointed by the city council, his services being paid for out of public funds. His responsibilities are two-fold. As a personal counsellor he deals with juvenile court cases referred by the magistrate and helps problem! youth who are not brought to court. As a community organizer he co-ordinates youth activities generally, working through existing agencies like schools, churches, and social clubs. Leadership training classes are being planned to include hobby classes and playground activities.

IAUSSIES SCORE WITH JAPANESE OTTAWA, Aug. 30 Australia has a long account to settle with Japan. Exactly how long will be known when the survivors, of the 19,000 Australians who have been prisoners of war in Japanese hands are freed. Almost all of these Australians have been in Japanese prison camps for 3 years. They are the men of the 8th Division, A.I.F., who were captured when Singapore fell Feb. 15, 1942. Former Prime Minister Churchill described the fall of Singapore as the greatest disaster that ever befell British arms. It was certainly by far the worst nilli-tary disaster that Australia ever had to face. When Singapore capitulated, Ma.-Gen. Bennet, the commander of the 8ih.Dlvlslon,-escaped as did a few of his officers. A few others escaped by various means but practically the whole division was captured. It formed a fourth of the land force that Australia then had overseas. Three other divisions, the 6th, 7th and 9th, were in the Middle East. In the early stages of the" war, Japan's treatment of these Ausi ralians was extremely severe. Not only were they put to the hardest of work In bad conditions and with little food but in many case? there were honorable exceptions, they were brutally treated. Many were used to build a railway through the fever ridden districts of upper Siam. Others worked on the wharves at Bangkok and elsewhere. Reports filterlnghrough .suggest that since Japan's war started going from bad to worse, the Japanese have been treating these prisoners somewhat better. How many of them are still alive will be known only when we collect them from their places of detention. The .number of ,AistraHans captured by the Japanese ince the fall of Singapore Ls compar atively small. Their treatment has, in many instances, been even worse. There are few more horrify- in? documents than the reuort on Japanese atrocities in New Guinea which Mr. .Justice Webb took to London to lay before the War Crimes Commission. Mr, Webb was appointed a special Commissioner .to inquire Into these crimes. As the Australian Sir Thomas Blarney, has, reveal ed, there were authenticated cases of cannibalism; It is re-; ported that Mr, Webb's report details horrible cases of torture and sadism. The Australians are a good-natured, easy-going people, slow to wrath. But as the Australian External Affairs Minister, Mr. H. V. Evatt, pointed out, the treatment "which the Japanese have given to prisoners and to the wounded has burned Itself Into the Australian mind. Since it has been solemnly de cided that all war criminals; are to be punished, Australia wants the principle to be fully applied. On the other hand there are re ported to have been Instances where Japanese officers and sol diers showed themselves decent and merciful toward captives. These, too, have been recorded. Nor does Australian experience altogether bear out the legend of the Japanese being united to a man In fanatical devotion to the Emporer Hlrohito and the sun eoddess. his ancestor.
