A New Champion Rises
THE EASTER RECEPTION in Vancouver, BC, of Canadian,
creeps from Ft, Lewis, Wash., was something unexpected, Apparently
service dubs and the general population were not warned hi enough
time to preparefor the influx of soldiers arriving to spend _their
embarkation leave in the Western home of hospitality So severe
and chilly was the reception that many men were willing to go
on record as wishing to be in "Good Old Toronto". How times
have changed! a:e
It is in our memory that Vancouver was a particularly hospit
able town during the years of the Second World War. The Salvation
Army, YMCA, Kiwends, Knights of Columinls, ete., were _gating all
.out to provide Sunday dinners and hostess fatalities in their own
huts as well as in homes throughout the city. Of coulee, everyone
Inas well organized toward that end in those days, patriotic feeling
was running high, and it was considered the thing to do, to entertain
.a member of the Armed Services while one his leave. ,There probably
are not eough fingers in the entire country to count the number of
odd beers handed out by the civilian population to thirsty sailors,
soldiers and airmen.
The thing that struck most forcibly, however, was that Toronto-
-that bastion of icy receptions, cold shoulders, dour glances and in-
hospitality -should remain in the minds of service personnel as a
veritable paradise when compared with "Sunny" Vancouver, the
-new champion of undesirability,

RCAF Activities

(Directorate of Public Relations)
With thought of spring in mind
it is hard to think of howling
blizzards end temperatures of 50 -
below, but memories of such
conditions ere fresh In the minds
of a combined RCAF, British and
American test team which re-
turned recently from the wind-
swept barrens of Victoria Island.
The 18 -man party spent two
weeks there testing winter cloth-
ing :for the three countries, com-
paring clothing and keeping ac-
curate records of temperatures
and their own comfort in each
style and design of the clothing
under test.
With a 30 -male -per -.hour, wind
and temperatures reaching 50 -
below, life in a snow ]rouse can
become miserable without proper
clothing. Members of the test
team met these conditions by
wearing various types of clothing
whieh later maybe used as a
guide in determining future de-
sign.
A former Arctic RCMP of-
ficer, F/L Scott Alexander, was
in charge of the project.

We like to go visiting to see how other people produce textiles. A good
many come to visit us, and we like this too. All main countries have
textile industries, and people come from other countries in the western
group to study our methods. The textile industry here in Canada is
among the leaders in technical skill and effectiveness. And along
with the U.S. it pays the highest wages for textile employment any
where. In Canada tine industry is the largest employer of manufacturing
labor. Textiles also pay the largest manufacturing wage bill in this
country. In these tines, tlae size and technical ability of the industry
are importantfeatures of Canada's strength. '

F/S L. W. Adams, Clinton'

ciples," a very lucid explanation
of this new development which
eliminated the effects of static;
"War in Africa," a Kodachrome
record of the Allied invasion of
the enemy -held north coast;
"Long Line Telephones in New-
foundland," also in Kodachrome,
showing the tremendous job of
constructing a multi circuit line
across Newfoundland in record
time during the war. The last
film was a 90 -minute feature en-
titled "Next of Kin," dealing with
national security duping wartime.
President Frank Baker thanked
Flight Sgt, Adams and explained

meeting had been made over the
