_ THE SEA WILL GIVE UP TREASURE

to men who think of tomorrow

SALVAGE SUBMARINE OF TOMORROW! ..- Already more than 40 million tons of
shipping have been sunk in World War Il. What a treasure trove of valuable metals and non-perishable

cables and with decompression chambers for diving operations. They're
coming ... planned by men who think of tomorrow!

M EN who think of tomorrow are planning
many startling post-war engineering en-
terprises. The salvage of deep sea treasure
by giant submarines is one of the most
practical . . . and profitable.

But until the day arrives when men and
machines are free for such fascinating
exploits, we have a lot of salvaging to do
on the home front!

For instance, the need for waste paper
has never been more urgent than it is
bs now. Are you salvaging yours? .. .

Gigantic quantities of explosives must
continue to flow across the sea to our
armed forces. That takes glycerine and

Mrs. Cannon closed her report by
expressing the enjoyment she re-
ceived by working in this de*
partment.

Hostess’ Report

In her hemarks, Senior Hos-
tess, Mrs. G. Grant, pointed out
that “though the work is hard it
was worthwhile when it was for
the boys in the service of their
country and who so deserved it.’

Since the opening over 6,290
boys have visited the centre
which averaged around some
20 boys to the evening.

Mrs. Grant made mention of
the many kind letters of appre-
ciation received from boys who
had visited the canteen, Mrs.
Grant pointed out that they had
to lower the junior hostess from
18 to 17 but, as has always been
the case, the girls upon register-
ing, were given hostess cards and
a list of the rules and regula-
tions.

“One large, happy family” is
the expression Mrs. Grant used
in her closing remarks, “with
many many memories left of
boys who have passed through
the doors of the United Services
Centre,

Hostesses Do Their Part
The Entertainment report was
given by Mrs. W. Roberts. She
pointed out that originally a
charge of 15c was made for
dances held in the Hut and later
this was raised to 25c. However,
the hostesses, who were already
giving their time, took it upon
themselves to pay this charge so
that the boys would be free of
any expense in this way. In clos-
ing she drew attention to the fact
that a dance was being held in
Matsqui Hall this Friday, Oct. 20,
to raise funds for the Centre.

Hospitality Committee

The report of the Hospitality
Committee was given by Mrs.C.
F. Weir. Its function has been
twofold: that of helping secure
accommodation for the wives
and families of servicemen sta-
tioned here and the introduction
of servicemen into the homes of
the town and district for meals
and overnight stays when they
are on 48's or short leaves.

Of 200 dinner invitations sent
out in 4!2 months, over 149 of
these were accepted.

s. Weir appealed to every-
an early start this wint-
er, inviting boys into their homes
and to continue it through the
winter months rather than just
around the Yuletide season.

Each report was accepted on
motion and the convenor given
a hearty round of applause.

Elections

The annual election resulted in
President H. S. Andrews being
re-elected by acclamation. Mrs.
Cannon was named Vice-presi-
dent, Miss Elsie Glover secretary,
and Miss Edna Green treasurer.

Other officers chosen are: Can-
teen Convenor, Mrs. H. E. Can-
non; Chief Hostess, Mrs. G. C.
Grant; Hospitality Convenor, Mrs.
C. F. Weir; Entertainment Con-
venor, Mrs. W. Roberts; Finance
Committee, L. Caldecott, Eric
Weir, H. . Andrews, H. EH?
Beetlestone and Mrs. G. W. Mal-
ton.

Geo, A. Cruickshank, M.P., was
elected Honorary President.

At the close of the meeting Dr.
Cannon expressed the thanks of
the public as a whole to the Com-
mitte for the generosity in time
and effort in making the United
Services Centre a successful ven-
ture. He expressed the opinion
that “it is perhaps the best ad-
vent sem en this district has ever

ad.”
