Preparation For Service

In connection with the appeal for more men for the armed forces, and particularly for the Infantry which Will be bearing the major brunt of the struggle in Iiurope from now on, the Army is also emphasizing tltecnlistmentof youths i * * I! of 17 to 18 years old for technical and trades 'l‘his is an opportunity of obtaining a specialized training in a number of technical

training.

trades at the .\rnt_v's expense. The training will be of great zidvantagc t0 any young man during the period oi his service in the Army, itiaking possible his qualifying for trades pay in addition to his regular pay. and greatly increas- itg‘ his chances of promotion. On his return to civil life this education should very material- ly assist in his rehabilitation.

For the Maritimes this training is given at No, 7 Vocational 'I'r.'\ining School at Frederic- ton, hill. Innnediatehv tipon enlistment, the yonths-tvho must have their parents consent and successfully couiplcted tirade A and 0b- taincd an "M" 560R on army examination of I40 or better—receive two weeks military train- ing. This is followed by a three months orien- tation course, after which the students are as- signed to aten inonthscoilrsein drafting, clerical work, electricity, ntachinist or automotive trades. Nine hours of military training are given each wcek. .\rmy rates 0f pay are pro- vided, as well as rations and quarters, free medical and (lentztl care, and free text books. The training, of course, is for Army service, but no one will be allowed to proceed overseas until he has reached his nineteenth birthday.

IL as optimists are predicting, the Germans are defeated within the next few months, so much the better. But Canada, along with the rest dfjthe United Nations, must prepare for a long and increasingly arduous struggle before final victory is achieved. It is necessary that the youths of today prepare themselves for the role they may be called upon to play within a year or two. To prepare themselves for ser- vice in their coilntry"s cause in the Active Army, no better preliminary training could be imagin- ed than the one outlined above.

Re-Sale Of War Supplies Reserves of war supplies of all kinds must be ntaititaincd while the war continues, and when it ends there will be a vast quantity of Supplies for the (iovernmeilt to dispose 0f. This will be done through a (iovernlnent-owned coutpauy; Crown Assets Corporation, which is now being authorized by act of Parliament. Because of the great volume of business that it will handle in the resale of materials and equipment, the country‘ will welcome the assur- ance of Hon. (T. D. Howe, Minister of Muni- tions and Supply, that the supplies will be sold

directly to the itltitnate consumers as far as iffflsibrbigciiiiuf ‘fife-ill? Rigeenlnnré V‘ possible. and not through colttraclors or deal- Mr. C. Gillis, .\f.l’., drew attention in tlic our countrysbag IgliLYSIiiféEUEKITTXIYUILII/Y "rzrzzrl" ' ' “ ' _'"""'""— - "_ '

Bathing Hazards

Drownings and tiszir-drmviiittgs have OCCUT- red here and elsewhere throughout the cortntry with the return of swintining weather. Some people, iticltlcling small children who have not had proper parental guidance, pay no attention to \\':1rtiing<, but it would appear that many tragedies of this sort could be averted.

"You don't have to flroivn," says The Peter- borotlglt Iixaniiner, polltlltig out that much benefit will lx- derived if swimmers will ob- s:rve a few safely‘ THlCS. These are given as folloivs:

Don't swim in water over your depth unless accompanied by a boat.

Don't swint in unknown water alone; never dive in tinknoivn water.

Don't swim or bathe when tired, over-heated or full of food or drink.

Don't indulge in liorscplay in the water-or in a boat.

Don't take a boat out until you have to handle one.

Don't stand up, walk in, or rock the boat.

Don't ever forget that water, while it is a far better servant than fire. can be an equally deadly toaster.

The Examiner also gives a word of advice and caution to the experienced swimmer. "Never encourage an inexperienced swinnner to do things which you are doing yourself unless you ere completely confident of your ability to save him if he becomes exhausted," it says. To that may be added the stiggestion that people profic- ient in the art of switnttiing should beware 0f being too confident of their own skill. Many

There is no lack of volunteers for experiments with new drugs for the treatment of malaria at a special army research unit in North Aus- tralia. Larvae of the anophelitie mosquito are flown regularly from New Guinea. The sol- diers submit to bites after ltaving taken a pre- ventive drug. Some ltave had 1000 bites in an hour.

e e a n The cheque for the current season's Australian wool clip is likely to ‘be 75,000,000 pounds, a record for any year in the history of the in- dustry. Approximately 46 per cent of this amount will be from New South \Vales wool, about 280,000 bales of which is appraised in Victoria, South Australia and Brisbane be- cause of convenience of transport. New South Wales sheep generally have cut appreciably weightier fleeces this season than last year. Last year's cheque was 73,500,000 pounds.

In the old peaceful days everyone was more- or-Iess interested in the bringing down of the budget with its disclosure of the fiscal policy for the ensuing year. Now. no one seems t0

who find it a guage for measuring the period till prorogation. The reason for the apparent apathy on the part of the general public is that it is realized a limit has now been reached in the imposition of taxes: the surprise, if any, on Monday night will be if Mr. Ilsley announces any reductions.
