Million and Naif Canadians

w’ Are “Frozen”

OTTAWA, Sept. 21 — (CP) —An estimated 1,500,000 Canadian male workers were “frozen" in their loin today, among them 90,796 Domin- ion civil servants.

Government regulations announ- ced last night provide that male workers in high priority Obs can- not quit or be discharge without approval oi Selective Service offi-

oers.

The regulations affect men working in industries designated as “A" and “B" priorities, all ess- ential war industries and essential civilian services. Officials said the specific list. of such industries would not be published immediately as changes occur fromlday to day, but an employee may find out his priority rating by cs ling upon the Selletctive service officer in his dis- trc

Before he may leave his present 1o the man in any oi the “A" or “B" industries must obtain a per- mlt from Selective service. which has the duty of seeing that Cana- dish manpower is used to the heat advantage.

Civil sezvioe mmission officials said today the order undoubtedly applied to men in the Civil Service across Canada. As the order is now effective, the civil servant who des- ires to change to some other occu. nation must receive a pezmit before he moves.

Officials said, however. that the service evidently was being treated as a unit and promotions and other movements oi staff within it will be continued.

The estimate of 1,503,000 men affected by the re ulation was bas- ed on “sures as o June 1. At that time 820,000 men in war industry we e in the "A" priority and 6&3,- 000 st '8" priority employment.

Farmers. school teachers. coal miners and others already have mu affected by manpower orders. About 1,050,000 farmers are kept st wcrk in agriculture by regulation, and must obtain permits to work in cities. They may undertake fishing, woodcuttinir and similar product- ion tasks for so days without a

permit.

‘Good Forest Land llerc Says Cttawa Cfficial

Farmers should comerve and cultivate their woodlots in such ways that the source will increase rather than diminish with use, is the ad- vice offered b Mr. G. A. Mulloy, assistant chic oi the Research Division oi the Dominion Forestry Service, Ottawa.

Mr. Mulloy is making a survey of experimental farm and illustra- tion station woodlots here. He will visit Nova Scotia; New Brunswick and Quebec in the same capacity.

Every wood tract can be made to last bv having in it a range of growth from seedlings to fully mat. ured trees, Mr. Mullgy emphasizes. The Browth on this would amount to about one half of the growth if the whole had reached maturity.

Only the oldest trees. and those which will not develop into goodi timber should be removed. The Whole should be cultivated with the axe with the same care that a far- mer cultivates his land.

Cattle and sheep should not be allowed on the wood lot; as they trample the ground and graze on the younger growth.

Illtfrnately this would result in the depletion of the area.

Some farmers have no ' wooded land, yet on their farms are areas which are of little use for cultiv- ation. These areas might well be used for wood. This would supply the farmer with fuel as well as building material needed and aid

farm economy.

LONDON, Sept. 21--(AP)—Unmlstakable signs appear that closely guarded Allied military and diplomatic moves now are being shaped to- ward a major explosion in the Balkans.

Events as apparently unrelated as the Arch- bishop of York's visit to Moscow and an under- ground rendezvous of Allied military men with Balkan guerillas now can be fitted into a. general pattern which well may end in another huge breach in the wall of what Hitler once called his impregnable European fortress.
