A
Good
New
Year
War
Outlook
We
have
no
cause
for
complaint
over
the
complexion
of
the
war
news
the
New
Year
opens
since
it
is
all
so
tyeryi
definitely
in
our
favor
again.
The
t)ig
German
counter-offensive
on
the
Western
Front
has
been
turned
back.
The
Nazi
armies,
to
come
to
grips
with
and
defeat
is
our
military
aim,
came
put
of
their
own
accord
and
the
desired
defeat
seems
well
in
the
making.
The
situation
there,
which
gave
us
a
couple
of
anxious
weeks,
appears
to
be
fully
under
control
again.
It
has
at
least
put
us
on
our
toes
once
more,
demonstrating
to
us
that
it
is-
no
time
yet
to
rest
on
our
oars
and
that
our
men
at
the
front
have
a
good
deal
of
more
hard
fighting
to
do
and
that
we
at
home
must
continue
without
let-up
to
do
everything
in
every
way
we
can
in
the
job
of
adequately
supporting
them.
Meanwhile
on
the
eastern
front
there
is
still
no
holding
back
of
the
.great
Russian
fighting
machine
and,
with
the
fall
of
Budapest
now
a
certainty,
the
complete
conquest
in
the
relatively
near
future
of
the
Nazis
in
Hungary
and
Austria
may
be
anticii-pated
with
every
confidence.
Great
victories
of
the
Russians
in
massive
military
operations
have
become
so
commonplace
that
we
may
not
keep
in
mind
sometimes
the
importance
of
the
part
the
Soviet
is
playing
in
wearing
(lown
the
common
enemy.
As
for
operations
in
the
field,
it
is
gratifying
to
see
that
the
miniature
Nazi
counter-offensive
on
the
western
end
of
the
Italian,
front
has
been
completely
turned
back
with
all
lost
territory
regained
by
the
Fifth
Army.
Any
comment
on
the
progress
of
the
"war
in
Europe
is,
of
course,
incomplete
without
reference
to
the
great
air
pounding
which
Britain
and
American
and
Canadian
air
forces
are
inflicting
upon,
enemyand;
which
constitute
an
important
factor
in
tne
'wearing'
down
process.
Prime
Minister
Winston
Churchill
quite
apparently
has
good
basis
for
iliis
"cautious"
forecast
that
1945
will
see
the
final
defeat
of
Germany
in
Europe.
In
the
Pacific
thereuis
every
reason
to
anticipate
that
the
year
now
open-
iing
will
see
a
further
speeding
up
of
She
campaign
against
Japan
which
was
o
well
started
in
weight
last
year.
'This
should
become
increasingly
intense
and
deadly
for
the
Nipponese
"enemy
this
year
and
194G
should
see
the
final
knock-out
there.
American

TWO
and
British
naval
might
we
know
is
already
being
co-ordinated
for
the
war
in
the
Pacific
and
news
soon
of
it
being
brought
more
fully
into
play
may
be
expected
any
clay
now.
We
have
had
well
over
four
years
of
war
now.
Some
of
those
years
were
dark
and
hopeless
looking
indeed.
How
changed
is
our
position
today
when
we
are
entering
into
the
full
flush
of
victory
and
are
able
to
predict,
without
undue
complacency
or
over-confidence,
another
two
years
should
bring
us
complete
victory
and
see
us
well
on
the
way
to
a
lasting
peace.
Too
Much
Burglarizing
Here
.
.
.
Naturally
enough
local
business
people
are
feeling
somewhat
restless
and
worried
over
the
recent
series
of
unsolved
burglaries
in
which
thousa?)ds
of
dollars
in
cash
have
been
taken
over
a
period
of
a
few
months.
There
seems
to
be
some
point
to
a
suggestion
that
here
in
Prince
Rupert
the
time
has
come
for
the
establishment
of
a
full-fledged
criminal
investigation
department.
Things
are
reaching
the
state
here
now
where
it
would
be
nothing-more
than
good
insurance.
The
suggestion
has
also
been
made
that
business
people
might
get
together
in
the
establishment
of
a
service
for
the
overnight
and
week-end
safekeeping
of
large
sums
of
cash.
There
has
been
too
much
burglarizing
going
on
in
Prince
Rupert
of
late
and,
without
necessarily
casting
any
reflection
on
the
present
police
force
which
is
undoubtedly
giving
us
good
and
adequate
service
in
many
ways
and
has
much
to
its
credit,
we
must
agree
that
all
steps
possible
should
be
taken
to
insure
us
of
greater
protection
from
this
type
of
crime:
Prince
George
Can
Build
Homes
The
interior
town
of
Prince.
George
has
been
able
to
build
fifteen
new
.$1000
residences,
two
.$,''500
homes
and
two
$2500
as
well
as
others
for
less
during
the
year
1944.
Eight
homes
are
under"
construction
there
now
under
terms
of
National
Housing
and
there
are
fifteen
applications
looking
for
an
early
start
in
1915.
Prince
George
has
far
outstripped
Prhice
Rupert
in
private
home
building
'during
the
past
year
and
gives
promise
of
doing
so
again
this
year
in
spite
of
the
fact
that
this
is
a
much
larger
community
and
the
need
for
homes
is,
no
doubt,
even
more
acute
than
it
is
in
the
interior
town.
If
Prince
George
can
get
homes
built
in
this
way
there
appears
to
be
no
good
reason
why
Prince
Rupert
NOW
WHAT

If
you;take
that

you'll
be
amazed

the
number
of
attractive
.and
useful
things
you

and
we
promise
you
100

of
real

No

there

There

"We
rang
the
door
bell,
but
no
one
answered
!'
Ma'gnificent
courage
of
the
men
of
Canada's
Seaforth
Highlanders,
of
which
he
has
been
padre
since
the
beginning
of
the
Sicilian
campaign
Is
lauded
by
Hon.
Major
Roy
Durn-
ford
in
a
letter
to
Mrs.
Henderson
of
Seal
Cove.
Unconsciously,
in
his
tribute
to
the
bravery
o(
his
battalion,
Padre
Durn-ford
reveals
glimpses
pf
his
own
fidelity
and
high
sense
of
service.
Between
May
and
November
the
battalion
took
part
in
actions
in
Italy
which
began
with
the
24-hour
Job
of
cracking
the
Adolf
Hitler
line
and
closeil
with
the
longer
and
more
difficult
task
of
penetrating
the
Gothic
defences.
"At
dawn
on
May
2
the
attack
began.
All
that
day
we
were
kept
busy.
The
doctors
worked
unceasingly
and
I
made
tea
In
large
pots
which
I
had
picked
up
from
somewhere.
Tea
was
the
elixir
of
life
for
the
wounded
and
battle-weary."
"No
words
of
mine'
can
do
Justice
to
the
officers
and
men
of
this
Seaforth
battalion
who
faced
the
enemy
to
break
through
the
Adolf
Hitler'
line."
Following
a
breath-taking
Jeep
ride
to
visit
a
patrol
outpost
in
view
of
the
enemy
lines
Padre
Durnford
continues:
"We
found
the
lads
ready
to
set
out
on
night
patrol
and
I
was
glad
to
meet
them
all
be
forehand.
I
wonder
if
you
can
guess
what
Is
involved
In
these
nocturnal
adventures.
The
fear
of
enemy
traps;
the
dangers
of
areas
unswept
of
land
mines;
.i
anxiety
at
making
a
noise
and
attracting
enemy
fire.
All
this
is
Involved
in
night
manoeuv-ers
and
it
Is
for
these
brave
lads
that
we
pray
before
we
go
to
bed
at
night."
Padre
Durnford
.
describes
other
hazardous
trips
to
front
line
.putpqsts
where
his
visits
were
welcomed
by
the
men
except
at-
times
when
he
had
travelled
so
noisily
as
to
attract
enemy
mortar
fire.
"The
safety
of
every
soldier
In
one's
Immediate
vicinity
depends
on
the
cautious
movements
of
the
others."
Battle
for
the,
Gothic
line
began
on
August
26.
This
was
not
a
24-hour
battle
as
had
been
the
break-through
of
the
Adolf
Hitler
line
but
one
destined
to
last
for
weeks.
"At
10
a.m.
we
had
Joined
battle
with
the
enemy.
By
3
p.m,
we
had
captured
our
first
objective
and
under
heavy
shell-fire
were
holding
off
Jerry's
counter-attacks.
Later
we
ad
vanced
through
miles
and
mlle3
of
tank
traps.
"During
the
day
our
dive
bombers
kept
up
a
devastating
attack
on
enemy
positions.
I
couDt
if
there
is
any
rear
so
great
as
that
which
accompan
les
the
experience
of
being
dive-
bombed.
There
seems
to
be
no
escape
and
no
retaliation."
