THE iiTUrr NJU/HD IS UP TO US:
It has beer* brought to the attention of the
Post,by soldier friends in ’/hiteliorse, ttiat ca3e3 of nicconduct among
visitors to the celebration of the Queen’s birthday in the Yukon town
have produced a distinctly hostile feeling.among some of the citizens
of that city. Hie hotel people in "/hi tenor so, especially, have been made
to suffer severely by destruction of property,etc.,at the hands of
certain parties who have misbehave 1 tiiensblves while enjoying the ex
ceptional hospitality of the residents of 'fliitehorse. In fact,a move
ment to exclude undeoireable parties from accono lations at all White
horse hotels had gained appreciable heath jay, when the Celebration Com
mittee interceded in behalf of the expected visitors of the holiday,
and secured the promise of the hotels to make another trial of cat
ering to the cclobrators of the Queen’s Day. It *vas only at the ear
nest intercession of the Committee,and upon the assurance that no
unbecoming conduct would be permitted in the city that the Hotel keep
* er3 receded from their position.
No particular individuals were named by the antagonists
• of the visitors in ’Vhitehorse, but we cannot but admit that there have
been some,-ourselves included,along with people from other localities,
who, in certain cases have given trouble at the celebration. In the vast
majority of cases,visitors to the Whitehorse celebration from this Post
have conducted themselves aB gentlemen,and earned a cordial welcome
from the people of Tili'cehorse.That appreciation we value highly.But the
few individuals who have given cause for hostile comment have done much
to ruin the good name enjoyed by the rest of us.And to then must be
laid the measure of odium with which the protestants in Whitehorse
objeetdd to affording accomodations to visitors to the Queen’s birth
day Celebration. And it must be admitted that they had good cause.
Let’s get together thi3 year,and sh oqr then that “Che sol
diery from Chill:pot barracks are a credit to the uniform they wear,and
visitors who appreciate the open-armed hospitality of the northern town.
It’s up to usII 7o can make out name-or break it/// Tile Commanding Of
ficer of the Barracks has announced flatly that any discredit brought
upon the uniform by soldiers,while in Whitehorse,will result in trial
by court-martial, and dealt with just a3 severely as the lav/ allows.
To 3oliier3 who respect themselves,-and that should include every one
of us-that warning should be unnecessary.
