Mr. Gibbons Suggestion

A committee of the Royal Society of Can- Ida is cvmsidcriiig a suggestion made by Mr. Murray Llibimtt in an addrms entitled “A Se- cular Bible for New Canada” delivered by him before the society Inst year.

Mr. Gibbon is both troubled and impressed

‘ by the lack of racial cohesion he notices in the

Canadian people and desires a better integration, particularly as. he says, “the indications are that establishment of pence conditions will result in a renewed immigration of Europeans into Can- Ida."

One militating handicap to the quickening of that assimilation is language, for linguistic de- ficiency keeps Canadians inappreciative of the traditional cultures of the races which have come or are to come from Europe. This hid- den knowledge is nor taught in the education in our schools, but might be gained from transla- tions done in the English which racial statistics show is the commonly desired and spoken lan- guage among people after coming to Canada.

Mr. Gibbon‘; proposal is that a committee of scholars appointed by the Royal Society under- tske the translation of the best in the secular literatures in the European countries contribut- ing to Canada's national whole. A rough and ready parallel is found by him in the committee of 54 scholars appointed to translate the Auth- orized Version of the English Bible in the seventeenth century.

fantastic Call-Up Figures

f

Os Jsa. I7 the Dominion Govornment issued figures covering call-up operations under the National Resources Mobilization Act. Ari at- tempt at analyzing these figures has been made by Mr. Grant Dexter, Ottawa correspondent for the Winnipeg Free Press (Liberal) with l-csults which are somewhat startling. Briefly, Mr. Dexter concludes that they are quite unin- telligible. “It is ss though the tables were the work of a demented mathematician," he writes. "No single total agrees with its fellow. When two of the totals are added, on the assumption that two plus two make four, the answer in- variably turns out to be five or three or seven or what you will."

The explanation ls that the statement repre- sents the most intelligent compilation which is possible from the records of the National “hr Services department. The muddle with res- pect to the calls for military service is probably unprecedented.

To illustrate, Mr. Dexter takes the totals from March 2o, 194i—the beginning of the four months’ compulsory service-until Dec. 26, 1942, In that poi-ind the army asked for I50,- 390 home defence draftees. To obtain these men, the National War Services department sent out 750,6ii notices requiring men to be medically examined. Tho first deduction is 87,485-'iIie number of the notices which were never delivered. .\'c.\'t are 2I6,79I who got the notices but of whom nothing more was hoard, 'l‘lt<-se men either enlisted, died or dodg- ed the draft. A

The total of men who turned up for medical exinuiiintion is 44fn335- and of these $9,491 were declared in be iu category “AT Then 120.610 ‘of postponements.

Despite these deductions, notices h report for military training were sent to 173.535 iflfli- 0i these, 9,345 were never delivered and 32.825 vanished from official ken. All told, 135354 reported at the training centres where 23,676 were found to be unfit and were sent home. Thus the army actually got 107.673 men f0!‘ home defence service. _

It is useless to try and make these figures halal-lee. The officials worked hard to find the errors and duplications, but at last gave up. The kind of records kept by National War Ser- vices, apparently, will never enable the facts to be known.

The most intriguing figures of the lot are the 216,791 men who received their medical

Sqd.-Ldr_ Gregory Vlastos, R.C.A.F., former professor of philosophy at Queens University. who was guest speaker at the slipper meeting of the Saint John Y's Men's Service Club dealt with the attitude of the boys in the R.C.A.F. overseas to the post-war, stating that even though their immediate duties kept them busily engaged at present, nevertheless many were ask- ing what things would be like back home after the war. He felt that many of them took the attitude that while they were sviniiing the war the folk back home should be working on the problem of winning the peace, so that there would be something worthwhile for them to rc- tura to.

"Rich In My Heritage", by Anne Blakemore, is the story of ten years on a farm. A young couple soon after their marriage take up their residence at Greenacres, an old farm which has family associations. The husband has a busi- non in town, and there is no intention at first to work the farm, but Anne, his wife, is per- suaded by Charlie, the stockman, to let him buy a few sheep and, gradually, pigs, cattle, poultry, ete., are included. The charm of the book lies in this gradual development, with losses and gains, for every detail of management is des- cribed, with the result that the reader gets a shrewd idea of the difficulties which face the ordinary farmer in his everyday life. There is, of course, the romantic side as well as the strict- ly business outlook, and those who like coun- tryside books will get a great deal of pleasure in the descriptions of harvest time and the de- lights and trials of the varied seasons as they roll round. For some considerable time the farm does not pay, but by dint of profiting by experi- I enee the balance ori the right side is secured. The keynote of the book lies in the fact that it is a human story and not an agricultural text-book, and we commend it without reservation. It is just one of those books which will be lent to a friend with the determination that its return will be insisted upon. (Lutterworth Press, 10s.) ’

An undertaking iri which every man, woman and child on Canadian farms may‘ take part is the egg production objective for 1943, says Mr. W. A. Brown, manager, poultry products section, special products board. The goal is if eggs each month from birds on general farms‘ and i4 eggs each month from birds on special- ized farms. The production figure for general farms is two eggs per bird per month over pre-l vious production and in a sense constitutes a game in which everyone can play. This in- crease is necessary to provide the 345,000,000. dozens of eggs required by Canada in i943 to} supply the armed forces, ships stores, exports to Great Britain and nearby possessions, do-i mestic consumption and a small stock pile for emergencies. Contracts with Great Britain for‘ i943 provide for an additional 1,000,000 cases: (3o,ooo,ooo dozen) over 1942 and provision is made in the quantity mentioned for an increase of i5 per cent in domestic consumption There are about 35,000,000 hens on farms in Can-, ada. Average farm flock production in the pasti has been around nine eggs per bird per month. Under record of performance many birds lay from 25 to 3o eggs per month. An increase of two eggs per month on the part of the aver- age flock would, therefore, appear well within the range of possibility.

Altogether. there are over two hundred hydro-electric power sta- ticns. some of those are relative- ly small serving only local needs but many are large such as the 88,000 kilowatt station at Khrama Fails, the 90,000 kilowatt station at Erivnn, and the 300,000 kilo- watt station at Mangechaursk auout 240 miles northwest of duku.
