The Opposition has been making a big thing of the vulnerability of the coast but the government does not appear to be very worried about the -situation, so far at least, although the minister of national defence doe? not rule out the possibility of diversionary raids and admits that the country cannot be considered impregnable. Of course, the big defence budget has yet to be approved. When appropriations start to be made from that, it is reasonable to suppose that some attention will be given to Prince Rupert. But, even if the government is complacent' about us out here, that complacency is matched by the calm attitude of the people resident here themselves. We seem to be a lot less worried than, for instance, the people of Vancouver, who are getting worked up about the need for civirHlefenee measures, and the people of Alaska, who seem to think the territory a potential Korea.

After all it may have been a wise prophet who , cheerfully said : "Sufficient to the clay is the evil thereof?" Yet some might say he was improviden-tial. I ARGUMENT REFUTED IF there is any sure key to the trend of permanent I population it should be a comparison of school enrolment. Yesterday we reported an increase of ..seventy in the elementary school, population of Prince Rupert in one year which is pretty close to nine percent on the total of 79 1 a year ago. This, it should be remembered, does not take into account the High School population or that of Annunciation School which could almost double the total figure. ' The city council, at a recent meeting, theorized that the transient population of Prince Rupert might be decreasing, suggesting by such a theory that the housing situation might soon not be as serious as some have been suggesting. ' Certainly, this very marked trend to increase in school population is no indication of any decrease in population, present or impending, unless, of course, we allow conditions to persist that would make it impossible or uncomfortable for the people to stay here. As a matter of fact, almost everyone knows that there would be more families and more children here even now if accommodation could be found for them.
