Lake Cruises

5000 Pupils

MILFORD BOERSMA OF Ann
t'l Arbor had an idea which he
put into effect FIVE years ago
and today it has grown into a
regular business to which he de-
votes his entire time. He learned
that the desire OF high school
seniors 10 celebrate as a class on
some kind Of a trip had already
taken hold but the trouble was
that many of the high schools
graduating Classes were so small
as TO preclude such a trip.
Why not combine them. he
reasoned, and make the arrange
ments as simple as possible. He
did this by organizing what he
calls Youth Travel organizing
10 to IS high schools for an in
dividual trip and then charter
ing Great Lakes cruise s ships
during May and early June be-
fore sucA chips started their reg
ulay summer season.

British Co|umbians
Look 10 JUS. forAid
InCase Of Attack
Province Is Too Large,
Revenue Too Small to
Build Adequate Defense

Wide World News
VICTORIA, British Columbia.-A
handful of Canadians with . pre-
carious hold on the vast, empty en-
pire that lies between the United
States and Alaska may need Ameri-
can help in a big way If real war
ever comes to this side Of the Pa
cific.
The province OF British Columbia
is a great deal larger than all Of
Uncle Sans Pacific Coast States
put together. Yet Its population
barely exceeds that of Boston.
Most of the inhabitants hug the
American border The rest OF the
great domain is almost as wild and
tenantless as when George VAN
couver clinched 1t for the British
crown back in 1892.
British Columbia makes no pre-
tense of defending itself in the sense
that the United States is prepared to
defend . its home coastline and
Alaska.
Difficult to Defend.
Fertilization Of 500 miles Of ocean
front cut up into innumerable chan
nels and islands would be an i'm
possible task for a province whose
normal revenues run $32,000,000 a
year.
British Columbians, whose outlook
is plainly more American than
British, are willing to do their part.
But every thinking man knows that
he is living under the protection Of
the United States, and that no other
adequate protection is available to
him.
British Columbia is probably the
most independent minded Of the
Canadian provinces. It entered the
1871 Confederation-later to be the
Dominion Of Canada-only after ex-
acting a promise that the Canadian
Pacific Railway would be built to the
coast.
A Separate Entity.
Geographically 1t is separate
entity, with the prairie provinces"
on one side and the Pacific on the
other. In all its length there are
only seven main passes which pene-
trate the mountains and connect 1t
with the East.
Not until you have cruised among
the thousands of islands Of It's coast,
or ridden for days through inter-
minable forests Of fir and hemlock,
can you appreciate British Colum-
bias tmmensity.
The Canadian National Railway
cuts through the center of the prov
ince to the Pacific port Of Prince
Rupert. Even south Of the rail-
road much of the country is in
accessible To the north all is in
deed wilderness-a mountainous,

densely timbered region cut by
mighty rivers and lying much OF
the year under heavy snow.
Bring Your Own Port.
Amateur strategists may liken the
scattered islands and landing places
OF British Columbia to those of the
East Indies.
But in the Western Pacific the
Nipponese have been taking over
established ports. In British Co.
lumbia they'd have to bring their
towns with them.
The two largest places in the
province are Vancouver, population
308 900, and Victoria, 10000. Both
are on the United States border.
Most mooted defense project in
the last decade has been the Inter-
national Highway, intended eventu-
ally to run from Alaska to Argen-
tina.
Latest word from Ottawa is that
the Dominion government will not
put up the $4,000, 900 needed unless
it Is demanded by Canada's Perna-
nent Joint Defense Board.

One of the difficulties which
prompted the training -or-exit Or
der, Mr.. Mileham disclosed, was the
fact that equipment was issued to
civilian defense areas several
months ago and was distributed at
the time to enrolled members of the
service whether they had completed
their training or not. Now a num-
ber of other people have completed
their training courses and been GER

Must Turn in Equipment.
Under Mr.. Milehams order, those
who are dropped for failure to take
training must turn in their equip
ment so that it can be redistributed
to accredited members of the service.
Mr.. Mileham said he was certain
that with the number of instructors
now available for the defense courses
as we'll as for first aid, there will be
no hitch in getting training COM
pleted in the required six-week
period.
Those who enter the service after
the first of the year will be allowed
six weeks to complete their training.
