- Strange reunion

Two brothei-s made one un- other’: acquaintance for the first time in Vancouver recently.

They were Sergeant A. G. Milo- Doncld of the R.C.A.1F, and Alex MacDonald, C.P.R.. locomotive on- glneer, both native; of Prince Ed- ward Island.

The reason they never mot be- fore was that Alex left homo when his brother was only three weeks old. He travelled exten- siveiy, working in every province in Canada before making his home in Vancouver.

Ho never sew his brother again until Sergeant MacDonald, tram- ferred to the coast with an R. C. A, I". unit, called at his home, 1625 West Eighth.

"It was a. strange reunion," 591-- geant MacDonald said Wednesday. “I! we had met in the street my brother would not have known m0 and I would not have known him,"

“You see my brother was l6 when he left home and I was Just an infant in arms. We cor-reg- ponded once or twice o, few yea“ 88° but Somehow we never u- chriaged photographs of any kind."

Sergeant MacDonald lived at Prince Edward will)". 1940. when he enlisted in the R. C. A. F. at Charlottetown. His brother, Alex, has lived in Vancouver for l5 yearm-(Van- couver Dally Province),

The work of the church

Parish work in Western Canada is Pretty much the same as every- where. Father O'Neil said. Church life in the west. however. is made most colorful by the elaborate rit- ual of the Ea=teril Churches. He went into detail about the ritual of the Greek Orthodox Church. Cath- olic parishes arc large and the work is strenuous at times. but the re- sults are encouraging.

Dr. W.J.P. MacMlllun moved a vote of thanks to the speaker. The Lecturer. J. B. Rltliards added his appreciation.

Mr. Charles McLeilan was elected Recording Secretary of the Coun- cil. A number of candidates were balloted upon in preparation for diegrees which will be held on March f rst.

Comments on By-Eleotion

Col, Balaton began his address with a comment on Monday's by- election result which he construed ublic approval of the plebiscite {by and a rebuke for "lntemp- erafc and unbridled invectives in political campaigns." Prime Monts- “ackenzle King was to be con- atulated on his mnkneus and tho trust he reposed in the people," the Minister said. ,

Total war to which tlhe govem- merit was pledged. meant the most effective QmlpIOymQH-t of the peo- pie and resources of a country. All

production was of vital kn- portance but the. aimed forces rc- quired men from the farms. There were no better fighting men. Some men from the farms also went in- to war industry.

wor ers for war iii ustrlec. "Now about the army." Col. Ral- Iton coon-tinned. ‘The objective has been and is w raise and equip. W reinforce and to maintain highly modemiud and mechanized forces, hard hitting and complete.

“In this way we take advantage of resources and materizils,_as wet as the qualities of initiative and fighting‘ skill which Canadians in battle ave always shown. We have

" also the obligation for the defence

of Canada which are more pronl- inentlv before us than ever before.

“Under the army program for 1942 the Canadian army overseas will be. in proportion, probably the most highly mechanized and mobile army in the world."

The effective strength of the act- ive army now. after 29.1000 elitist- merits. is 255.000, Col. Ralstoii said. The 1942 program, he warned, does not mean that at the and of the year the forces will have‘ total strength indicated by the iiddlilOlidl enlistments. for there will be casu- alties and wastage.

In Excess of Schedule

So far. he said. the number of reinforcements sent overseas to support the troops there has been in excess of the schedule laid down by the corps commander, Lt. Gen. A. G. L. McNaughton.

The program icr the vear called for adding an armored division and an army tank brigade to the over- seas force. and the formation oi ml army of two corps. To train 90.000 to 100.000 men would tax Catiaiiais capacity to the limit. g

Arrangements were being made to bring back instructors‘ from over» seas, 'l“rainiiig facilities ilrc being enlai" ed to keep pace with lll('l'L'l'.S- ed en istmcnts and increasing iiuin- bers of men called up under the Na- tional Resources Mobilization Act.

The minister said home defence matters arc’ enzdtzinl: close atten- tion. In addition to the 4th (IlYISlOVIi (now to be made an armored di- of the 90.000 illllllll!

vision) and brigade lzrotilis 6th division there are over active service personnel iii tr centres in Canada.

An emergency organization for part of this group 1s being set up. he said. A new organization of the reserve army is coming into effcct.

"We also have in mind‘ fhe mobilization of further units for home defence, especially in view ol the ultimate dispatch of the 4th division overseas." said tho minister.

Dispositions of troops ivhicli had been considered proper were made on both coasts. The minister said he agreed with a sulz estloii from How- ard Green (Con. ancouver South) that coast defences might be a pro- per subject for discussion at a se- cret scssion. Anti-aircraft defences was import-ant and equipment not available elscsvhcrc for this purpose had gone to the west coast. More will follow.

"No matter how complete our anti-aircraft defences are madc we can never prevent the. encmv from attempting sporadic ivlills." he sfild. “What we must do is to ut. 1/‘ the equipment mid- Heb from time to Ki as costly to the enemy as we can to attempt such raids, We are try- ing to do that."

Conscription should not be_con- fused with the proposed plebiscite. said the minister. The goverlimcnt wanted to be free to meet. a crisis which might arise in the future.

The pledge given against con- aoriptlon was not given lightly. lied it not been lven Canada could not have cntere the wal- promptly at the side of Britain.

The plebiscite would not delay the army program. Col. Rnbfou said. In the last four months 32.- 000 men had enlisted voluntarily in the active army.

"1 believe that if the intake of men for general service keeps with- in reasonable distances of that gen- eral level we shall be able to carry out the 1942 army program for ov- erscas. including the reserves re- garded. as adequate by both British and Canadian authorities in Eml- land." Col. Ralston said.

Army enlistments in January had totalled more than H.700. the best month since the recruiting cam- poi n of last summer.

Afil this, said the minister. indi- cated the voluntary system was I success. He hoped voluntary enlist- ment; would keep up and proposed to continue to stress that system despite all criticism. The voluntary system was the best. method bv which to reinforce a volunteer army.

47 survivors Tell of ruthless Sub warfare

AN EAST COAST CANADIAN PORT, Fieb. 10—-(CP)--1=‘orty-scven survivors, victims of ruthless sub- marine warfare in the Western At- lantic. have been brought to this port recently. telling two separate tales of torpedoings and shelling on the high seas.

One grou of 20. crew members of a. torpc oed tanker. said 28 of their shipmates were thought to be still drifting in life-boats some- where in the Western Atlantic. However. details of the sinking and the survivors names could not be learned as the men said authorities had forbidden them to talk.

All were apparently Canadians. many of them hailing from Nova Scotia. One man, from Kitchener. Ont, indicated that several of the 20 rescued were in hospital recov- ering from the effects of exposure.

through the years," he continued. "This must be expected u. tho greater load is thrown upon aha railway. The conservation of mat- erials for the war effort is having its effect upon the ability of the railways to acquire equipment and, they are now devoting themselves to getting the maximum usage of the equipment they already possess. As the President of the C.N.R.. Mr. R..C. Vaughan stated in hi; review statement at the end of the year, the railways are having difficulty in acquiring additional motive pow- er and rolling stock and while no drastic changes are contemplated at the mwient, this factor of the conseavatlon of’ the transpov: facili- ties of the country for essential war service must be kept in mind.

Mr. Sayer, while in Charlottetown conferred with Mr. B. Graham Rog- ers, Supervisor of the P. E. I. ’I‘i-a.- vel Bureau. Speaking in regard to the prospects of tourist trade. be aid the picture f4 rather obscure at the present time and it is diffi- cult to give any definite forecast. "Tlfe factors are changing from day to day but it is hoped that with increased spending power some of this will find its way into tourist channels," he asserted. "Prince Ed- ward Isfand," he thinks, “should receive some vacation travel from the mainland in anv event-par- tlcularly from the other Maritime Provinces and Central Canada "

He went on to say “a. somewhat tourist. trade is 01a! a large number of tn- quiries have beéri received from points in the United States and in- quiries have also been received from prccpective tourists in Central Ca- nada. seeking information regard- ing the tourist attractlom of Prince Edward Island as well as the Marl- tfmes and the rest of Canada."

"One of the factors which must not be lost sight of is the prowe- tion of the great investment repre- sented by the tourist industry and while the outlook for tourists at the present time is what, might be called uncertain, an effort should be made to keep the tourist at- tractions of the various provinces of Canada. including the Maritimew, before the people living in centres where tourist travel originates."
