JAN. 1, 1942-\nKootenay Is Contributing\nto Victory\nKootenay-Boundary District looks\nback on 1941 with the sense of having\ncontrib,uted in no small degree to Canada's war effort, and it looks forward\nto 1942 with the expectation that it\n' will be able to play a still larger part\nin the struggle for victory.\nKootenay's base metal production\nthrough Trail Smelter is one of the\n\u25a0powerful factors that Canada is throwing into the struggle against Hitlerism. Trail's production of war chemicals is another great factor in war\n'munitions. It produces sulphur, is increasing its production of tin, every\nounce of which has become precious as\na result of Japanese invasion of Malaya\nand threat to the Dutch East Indies.\nDuring 1942 Kootenay hopes to see\nthe base metal resources of the Kaslo-\nSlocan and other districts thrown into\nthe war scale, as a result of the efforts\nwhich are now being made to bring\nabout the suspension of the United\nStates tariff on lead and zinc ores and\nconcentrates.\nStill the foundation of economic\nstrength, Kootenay's gold has been\nsteadily flowing from several mines to\nthe Dominion Treasury.\nLumber production has been enormously increased. It has housed millions of bushels of the Prairie wheat\nwhich is being stored as a Joseph's\nhoard for the future. It has built\nmany an air training camp, gone into\nmany a new munitions factory. Kootenay's plywood has brought in foreign\nexchange which has strengthened the\ncountry's economic condition. Its match\nplank has produced by the billions one\nof life's essentials.\nKoptenay apples have helped to\nmeet Great Britain's need for fresh\nand vitamin-loaded fruit.\nAnd its young men and women,\nand many of more mature age, have\nresponded gallantly to the call for the\nArmy, the Air Force and the Navy,\nthe nursing services and the munitions\nfactories.\nKootenay-Boundary's purchases of\nwar securities, its donations to patriotic funds, ita work upon Red Cross\nand similar supplies have exceeded its\nquotas.\nGreater calls are to be expected\nduring 1942. Kootenay-Boundary can\nbe depended upon to respond to them.\nLoss of Philippines Looms\nPhilippines defence is at a crisis.\nThe Japanese will conquer the islands\nif they keep on landing troops and\nmaintain their ocean supply lines. They\nhave local superiority in numbers\nwhere they have landed, and overwhelmingly superiority in reserves.\nThe Philippine defenders cannot retreat, as the Chinese did, and build\ni new armies in the hinterland.\nAt this moment the Japanese com-\n' mand the seas around Luzon and the\nair in the vicinity of their landings.\n* This is evident from the fact that tho\nAmerican Far Eastern fleet does not\n'* attack the invaders. The Japanese\ntransports are evidently convoyed by\nbattleships and airplane carriers in\nsuch numliers that the lighter Amcri-\n, can fleet cannot risk a battle.\nIf the Japanese land forces can be\nheld back, it will be possible for American submarines and bombing planes\nLi ,>ick off Japanese transports, supply\nships and warships, one at a time. But\nf the. invaders, already superior in\nr i \"hers, receive steady reinforce-\ni.i'iiU, the Philippines will fall unless\nnew air and naval strength arrives\nsoon from America.\nBut air power can't act without\nbases. With Wake and Guam lost, the\nUnited States needs a bomber route\nvia Dutch Harbor in Unalaska, Kamchatka and Vladivostok to Manila.\nThat calls for an agreement with\nRussia Still irreater need is for heavy\nAmerican warships and airplane carriers in the Philippines. Their arrival\ncould turn the Japanese invasion into\na disaster for the invaders. British\n? ? Questions ? ?\nANSWERS\nOpen te any reader.

He was born October 2,\n1869 and educated in India and London; was\ncalled to the bar in 1889. Gandhi attended\nthe second round table conference on India'l\nstatus held in London in 1931. As leader of the\nIndia National Congress Party he was granted\nthe title of Mahatma.\nThe chief difficulty ln the way ot India\nself government is the underlying bitter feeling between the various religious sects, notably\nthe Hindus and Mohammedans. Those who\nhave sympathies with Gandhi in principle\nhave approved the British policy of steady\ndevelopment of self government rather* than\nradical changes which students of India fear\nwould result in chaos and civil war.\nInterested, Trail-Where should I write for\nan application form to Join the Naval\nAuxiliary Service?\nWrite Department of War Services, Ottawa.\nPress Comment\nLEWI8 \"TAKES A WALK\"\nRefusal of John L. Lewis and his colleagues in the Congress of Industrial Organli-\natlons to accept an unfavorable decision by\nthe National Defense Mediation Board caits a\ndark shadow over the future of industrial\npeace. It had been hoped by the optimists that\nmediation by a board representing with equal\nweights the employers, employees, and the\npublic, would be accepted and that decisions\nby such a board would be morally binding on\nall concerned. Legal force behind the decisions has not been a part of the picture to date,\nbut in view of the CIO attitude, it may be\nnecessary to constitute a board which will\nhave the full power of the government behind its determinations.\nThere is no health in an industrial situation which allows disputes to get to the breaking point, then follow! them through a long\ndeadlock, and ends them by putting the Army\nor Navy in charge. Both of the armed services\nhave duties which call for undivided attention, duties for which their officers are much\nbetter fitted than for the operation of Industry. It is also probable that union leadership\nwhich defies an impartial board constituted\nby President will soon challenge the dictum\nthat a strike can't be called in a plant or mine\noperated for the government under military\ndirection. *\nThe economic strain to which this entire\ncountry will soon be subjected calls for plenty\nof sacrifice, an dthat sacrifice will most certainly be rendered by the millions called to\narmed service, by many more millions who are\nnot organized either as employers or as em-\nplayes. Taxation is likely to cut deeply Into\ncorporate profits; more deeply, we suspect. Into the profits of firms which have no extra revenues from defense contracts than of their\nmore fortunate fellows. The membership of\nlabor unions will pay their share of taxes, too,\nboth to government and lo their organizations. It Is not at all fitting that the heads of\nthe latter shall be the only gainers from he\nwar emergency, as they will be If they succeed In makings union card the prinme essential to employment.\nAnd while Editor tc Publisher has often\napplauded the laws which prevent an employer from forbidding hi! employees to Join a\nunion, we do not have anything like the same\nenthusiasm for a reading of the law which declares that a man must Join a union to enjoy\nhis right to work tor a living.

He was told that a naval unit\nwould proceed to the apot and dispose ot tye\nmine.\nA ihort time elapsed and another menage\ncame ln from the iiolatad obierver: \"Never\nmind naval unit. Have disposed ot mine myself.\"\nFit. Lt. I. B. Goodspeed, air detection officer ot the R.CA.F., told the itory al an example of the enthusiasm displayed and Varied\ntasks performed by the 2000 civilian! operating without renumeratlon ai official obierv-\ners for the A.D.C. in Eaatrn Canada and New-\nfoundland.\nThe mine Incident la but one of many\nbright spots In Fit. Lt. Goodipeed'i two yeara\nof lervice organizing and directing the A.D.C.\nHe flgurei the observer wai consumed with\ncurioilty about the mine and, rather than wait\nfor the navy to arrive, aet about to find out\nwhat made the thing work. Probably he removed a couple of harmlesi knobi, lifted a lection out of the ihip-wrecker and made it ',\nharmless by removing its batteriei.\n(In Ottawa recently, the navy warned\ncivilians agalnat tampering with minei or\nother objects which might drift aihore. Per-\nions sighting such an object, lt advised, should\nreport it to authoritiei and \"until the arrival\nof lomeone qualified to deal with the object,\nthe public ihould be kept as far away from it\naa posiible.\")\nAnother observer waa right on th* apot\nwhen an RCAF. bomber mad* a forced\nlanding ln St. Margaret'i Bay, iome 33 mllei\nSouth of Halifax. Noticing theh plane circling\nabout, apparently in difficultiei, he got in\ntouch with hii A.D.C. reporting centre by\ntelephone and wai able to give a detailed\naccount of the plane'i landing.\nHanging up the receiver, he rushed to hit\nrowboat and-rowed out to the plane to assist\nthe four airmen ashore. The men were luf-\nferlng from ihock and ilight injuries, io he\narranged for a taxi to take them to hospital In\nHalifax.\nWith the plane linking rapidly, he rowed\nout to the aircraft once again, taking aeveral\nempty drurru with him. He attached theae\nto the plane'i body to prevent It from icraping\nthe bottom, an action which considerably\nhelped the R.C.AJ. In salvaging the craft.\nAccording to Fit. Lt. Goodspeed, who Is\na native of Fredericton and worked in the\nehgineering department of the BeU Telephone\nCompany at Montreal before the war, the\nA.D.C. observeri icattered throughout the\ncountry are only too glad to do Jobi iuch as\nthose\u2014if they get the chance.\nAny complaint! he hai received to date\nfrom the volunteer ipotten have been to the\neffect that there il not enough work for them\nto do. Although the observers all have regular work to perform every day, none have\ncomplained their A.D.C. duties were too much\nof a burden for them.\u2014Windsor Star.\n ___\t\nLooking Backward\n10 YEARS AGO\n(rom Dilly Newi Jan. 1, 1932)\nMrs Charlei Norrli, Fairview, md diughter Doretta are in Fernie for a week vlilting\nMr!.
