Ou Sunday there were reception ser-
vices both morning and evening. Mo-
ses Jones acted as interpreter, aud ex-
plained what church membership in-
volves, and the various obligations.
Over twenty new members came into
full membership, and most of them

were by confession of faith.

The annual meeting of the congrega-
tion was held at. 3 p.m. on Sunday.
The reports showed a good increase in
uivings, and for the local ‘church im-
provements nearly a hundred dollars !
had been raised. For the missionary
fund $92, being an increase of nearly
$20. The elections were very interest-
ing. Indian people do not like change
they are afraid if they do not re-elect
they will offend. However, after’ 4
long discussion some of the older men
were dropped from the chureh board
and replaced by younger fellows. W-
D. Wesley, W. D. Milton, Peter Brown

Mark was re-elected, after thanks and
worth League. He has held this office

Telkwa, B. C., Feb. 7, 73?

Dear Sir:—Having to listen to ra-
dio news 4s well as newspapers, re the
world situation, gives me a headache.
Seems like we should have a chance
tn infect the public a bit ourselves.

Looking back twenty years, we Te-
call a lot of propoganda, which same
was later admitted to be such. It
would be interesting to know, just how
much of the facts the public is permlt-
ted to know at this time. We note
some marks om the map, recently, sup-
posed to be air lines. Just how many
of same are dotted lines, like the trans
Canada highways, we da not know.
As far as seems probable at present
these lines will be in operation, just af-
ter the war is over.. Which brings in-
to the picture the Peace River, the
Rupert, the Jasper and Manitoba-On-

R. and Vancouver folks think we do
not know what. they have in mind?
Although this gets us away from the
subject we might mention the C.B.C.
If we spoke our mind about a lot of
things in that connection you tould
not publish ‘it. Just about the same
Iness as vonds and defence. They are
so damued hoggish, down east, that

as Easter Standard, and put Il the
wood stuff on so early that the west

cnpitalists, the unemployed, those on
relief and 80 hour week C.1.0.

To return to the subject of ‘so-called
defences. We note that one df the
Canadian navy is in the Atlantic and
the other on a winter crulse. There
will be two more boats available in
abont two more years. Not that it
matters, except for the money tied up
in them, and you will possibly figure
that -out later. Those two guns in
Stanley Park should be just as well as
a lot
stances, although they have a range
of 14,000 yards and are six inch cali-
bre. The Canadian defences are doubt
less very amusing to potential enemies
when, we believe, it may be.found that
they have sufficient boats, arms, men
and organization to take over the coast
in about 48 hours, It is very possible
that such is the case, and it is not at
‘all impossible, ‘ a

The U.S. has begun to wake up to
the fact that she is menaced from Can-
ada to the Canal, as well as in Gulf of
Mexicu. If reports are corret, at. the
present:‘time there are enemy organi;
antions of stich a nature, that the Am-
evican navy, and doubtless much of its
coast defence, could be obliterated just
as ‘quickly as could Canada’s. It ap-

rcertuin -forelgu powers could destroy
the U.S, navy before it knew what had
happened to it. The sad. part of the
situation being that the: enemy means
of : destruction, costing approximately
$5,000, could sink $60,006,000 battle
ships. so :

We do not know what the U.S. will
do bout the situation, but we :irust
Cunada will: start getting organized,

up this matter. as it’ does. to do any-
