Guarding
The
Coast
IT
.WAS
INTERESTING
to
hear
from
the
young
fi
local
Air
Force
officer,
F'O
"Hickey"
MacLeod,
,
Shaking
at
the
Rotary
Club
luncheon
yesterday,
th&
the
Royal
Canadian
Air
Force
had
such
a
well
organized
and
readily
available
sea-air
life-saving
service
available
on
this
coast.
In
a
way
it
might
be
likened
to
a
light
coastguard
service
although
its
being
based
at
Vancouver
restricts
its
possibilities
as
for
serving
the
rugged
coastline
contiguous
to
Prince
Rupert
where
there
is
a
heavy
sea
trafficlarge
and
small.
It
is
a
good-
thing
that
the
Air
Force
is
so
organized
and
we
are
glad
to
hear
it.
On
the
other
hand,
we
also
know
that
there
is
absolutely
no
such
adequate
service
based
at
Prince
Rupert
and
it
is
quite
conceivable
that,
under
conditions
which
might
lead
to
a
serious
mishap
at
sea
in
this
area,
it
might
be
difficult
for
the
Air
Force
to
reach
the
scene
from
as
far
away
as
Vancouver
either
on
time
or
with
equipment
suitable
to
render
effective
aid.
:
Prince
Rupert
is
still
in
need
of
a
coastguard
stervice,
locally
based,
and
it
is
something
we
feel
might
well
be
provided
by
navy
or
air
force
or
both.
Certainly
its
absence
is
a
continued
long
felt
lack.

Later
the

offered

of
the
building
at
the

rate
and
the
Association
purchased

worth

"In

the

was
advied
that
unless

of
Prince

purchased
the
Roosevelt
Oym,
It
would
be
ad

for

on

and
would
then
be

The
City
Council
stated
that
it
did
not

on
hand
which
could
be
used
for
this
purpose.

to
purchase

worth
of
equipment
at
a
cost
of
$5,000,
with
a
view
to
using
it
for
such
activities
as
could
not
be
handled
in
the
Civic
Centre.
It
was
felt,
that
if
after
a
trial
period,
the
od-
eratlon
of
Roosevelt
Gym
was
round
to
be
Impractical,
it
could
be
disposed

for

at
little
or
no
loss
to
the
Association.
The
gym
has
been
used
for
Box
Lacrosse
which
was
only
partially
successful
and
also
for
basketball
practice
and
High

badminton.
Heating
of
the
building
has
been
a

I
culty

Americaas

!
fore
they,
turned
the:
pulldln?
;
over
to
War
Assets.
Steps
have
been
taken
to
rectify
this.
"During-
the
winter
it
has
been
found
that
the
building
is
not
weather-tight,
both
as
to
the
roof
and
walls
and
that
considerable
money,
probably
in
the
neighborhood
of
$5,000
would
have
to
be
spent
to
protect
the
.building;
from
l
serious
damage
from
rain.
The
Association
will
have,
to
decide
whether
to
spend
this
money
in
order
to
save
"the
building
,for
possible
future
need
or
to
sell
it
for
salvage
at
the
risk
of
needing
it
at
some
later
date.
"When
the
Association
first
took
over
the
Civic
Centre,
a
budget
was
drawn
up,
calling
for
tne
expenditure
of
$17,500
for
the
first
year.
This
budget
was
to
be
met
by
receipts
from
various
sources,
namelv
member
ship
fees,
rentals
and
other
revenues,
subscriptions;
grants-and
special
events.
It
appears
from
tne
financial
statement
that
while
revenues
from
some
sources
have
been
lower'
than
expected,
tnose
from
others
have
greatly
exceeded
exDecta-
tions
and
that
on
the
whole,
the
budget
will
be
met
for
the
first
year
of
operation.
"The
membershlo
list
is
not
as
large
as
had
been
hoped
for
and
while
'it
is
true
that
a
ereat
number
of
people
have
not
as
yet
been
canvassed
to
take
out
memberships,
it
Is
felt
that
people
should
be
willing"
to
come
forward
without
being
asked
and
should
voluntarily
take
out
membership
in"
"what

BUILDING
IS
NONE
TOO
BIG
"Previous
to
taking
over
the
Civic
Centre
building,
many
people"
felt
that
the
building
was
too
large
for
our
needs
and
would
be
a
'white
elephant.
This
has
been
definitely
proven
to
be
not
the
case.
In
fact,
ths
staff
Is
at
Its
wits
end
at
times
to
provide
space
for
all
those
requiring
it.
Since
the
opening
of
the
Centre,
no
less
than
92
different
organizations
have
used
the
building
for
meetings,
concerts,
and
other
activities.
Some
nights
as
manv
as
seven
different
meetings
have
been
in
progress
in
the
building
at
the
same
time.
There
were
in
addition
to
the
Association's
own
programs,
many
people
will
be
surprised
to
hear,
some
19,300
people
who
used
the
building
during
the
month
of
December
This
was
in
addition
to
those
visiting
the
City
Library
for
books
and
reference.
I
note
that
I
have
failed
to
mention
the
fact
that
in
October
the
City
Library
arranged
with
the
Association
to
move
into
their
present
pleasant
location
on
the
secona
noor
oi
tne
Dunaing.
From
the
number
of
people
using
the
building
it
can
easily
be
seen
how
greatly
the
Civic
Centre
would
be
missed
should
It
be,
for
any
reason,
lost
to
Prince
Rupert
and
how
neces
sary
it
is
that
everyone
lends
his
efforts
to
making
it
a
success
both
financially
and
from
a
use
point
of
view.
The
Centre
can
oly
be
as
much
as
a
success
as
the
people
of
Prince
Rupert
choose
to
make
it
by
th?ir
use
of
it."
