Coal upply is a big factor in this problem and those

who obtain their winter coal in advance are tak- ing the only safe course. Unfortunately this system works to the disadvantage of poorer people. It is essential that their interests as well as those of other classes be protected, and it is up to our provincial and federal representa-

ives to impress Ottawa with this fact before t is too late.

The manpower crisis developing iii the Royal Canadian Air Force is a product of mismaiizigc- merit in the whole field of manpower mobiliz- ation, says The Gazette, and no doubt tlic Hon. Cyrus MacMillan, Assistant Minister will malts note thereof. For three years and more ihc Gazette has been urging the Government l0 adopt a definite and comprehensive policy cover- ing all domestic war services and especially that of manpower distribution. There has never been such a policy and we have reached the point now ivhere the strength of the R.C.A.F. is be- ing threatened. This comes as a shock to a na- lion which has taken a just pride in the achieve- ments of its airmen, in the vastness of the trniii- iiig systcni which has been built up in this country, but the facts arc beyond dispute. Tlivy are frankly admitted by Air Ministcr Pnwcr. who says bluntly: "We are gelling fcwcr air crew than we require...we are down in rc- criiiting and our reserves arc gclliiig low. Wc

l had big reserves ip January but we arc eating

them up now." "

Then again the difficulty, not to say Impossibility, of getting an ac- curate picture of public opinion from any “straw vote," is obvi- ous, for the poll referred to above must have reached only a trifling fraction of the Ontario electoratc. Its sole Interest is that it pur- ports to give a representative cross- section of public o lnlon, and that those who voted s owed the Con- servatives leading In favor by 3 per cont over the Liberals and 3 per cent over the C-CF. It iii- dicates a close thins on polling day, with the pros ect of no ma- orlty for any of t e rival groups, ut of the Liberals emer lrig with the largest following of t three. It wlll be interesting to compare the actual results on August 4 with this near-stalemate forecast.

Those good old days are Just a myth, say the mridcriis who base their opinion on pictures they have seen of horscless earrings, the front parlour, the tlirobb g love stories, the uiomeirs styles of the '90s, especially the bathing suits, and the gcncrnl impression they have formed that the ale was stuffy and artificial.
