Air Force Priority Needed

No more convincing proof of the inadequacy of the King Government's manpower policy could be imagined than the revelation last week that Air Force officials contemplate having to close down a. number of the Air Training Plan schools because of lack of recruits.

There have been hints of an ebbing of the flow of Air Force recruits for some months now, but the Financial Post publishes long quotations from what is obviously an official _(but confidential) Air Force memorandum-a memorandum that is apparently a warning to the Air Minister that the end is in sight.

The post says that unless more recruits are forthcoming the ;\ir Force anticipates having to close down Initial TH-aining Schools, Service Ind Elementary Flying Schools, Wireless Navi- gation and Gunnery Schools. Deadline seems t0 be towards the end of this year.

According to the Post, the R.C.A.F. made this Nport to Air Minister Power and Air Minister Power did not get very far with the matter at "l. vcry acrimonious meeting of the \\'ar Cabinet last iveek.”

Scathing comment is made in the memoran- dum about the wastage of manpmver involved in keeping 50,000 "A" category “R" recruits on home defence service in Canada- The need for making these mcn available for universal ser- vice and permitting them to transfer to the Air Force if they wish to do so is strongly stressed.

The Air Force document points out that Aus- tralia and Great Britain and the United States grant a priority to tlic ;\ir Force for the enlist- ment of “.'\" catcgory mcn. But in Canada there's nothing to prcvciit “.-\" cuti-gnry men enlisting mcrcly for the (lCfCHCE of the St. Lawrence river. Canada alone, it is pointed out, despite hcr trcmcnrlous commitment in respect of air trhiniiiq and air iimiipoivcr, has so far rcfuscd to giant. such It priority.

Contrary to Axis reports that Pope Pius XII would move to the Palace of St. john Lateran, former residence of the Popes, to fulfil his episcopate as Bishop of Rome and by his pres- cncé in the capital preclude the probabily of further bombardment, Vatican sources announce the Pontiff will remain where he is "maintain- ing that impartially neutral attitude from which neither belligerent yvill gain in ell."

In the Senate, Senator Hugessen made public for the first time figures on the first two years’ operation of the Unemployment Insurance Fund. Thcrc now are more than 2,250,000 workers participating in the scheme, he said- Receipts from employers and employees for the two-year period totalled some $108,111,000 with the Government contributing an additional $21,- 622,000. The fund had been further increased by $3,182,000 earned in interest. Benefits paid under the Act totalled $1,078,000 to June 30, Senator Hugessen said.

The long standing grievances of the rural mail carriers was once more aired in Parliament when a. plea on their behalf was made by Mr.

Gordon Graydon, Progressive Conservative House leader, during consideration of non-war estimates of the post office department. He asked for consideration of the added costs of rural mail carriers in maintaining their routes in wartime on the low income they receive und-rr contracts’ with the post office. He said the rural mail-carrier problem was a long-standing one and he said he would "condemn" the gov- ernmentyfor not even seeking to solve it- There was every justification for Postmaster-General Mulock to ask parliament to set up a special committee on the rural mail carrier problem. It was too late to do it this season but if the post- master-general could not make some progress in putting the carriers in a. position at least com~- parable to that of other public servants he should ask for a committee next year.

To find Churchill among the Liberals is like the appearance of Saul among the prophets, only Winston dill once-vert from Tory to Lib- cral for a short period after the South African War. The other day he received a great ova- tion from the National Liberal Club, London, where a portrait of himself, which was damaged by a. German bomb early in i941 and later was restored was unveiled. The portrait, which shows him as a young man, the work of Ernest Townsend, was consigned to the cellar during the Liberal Party quarrels that followed the last war but it was reinstated in its original place on the wall several years ago- When the club was hit by an enemy bomb two years ago the bottom portion of the picture was damaged. It recently underwent skilful restoration by the original artist. Mrs. Churchill was with her hus- band at the formal unveiling, which was presid- ed over by Lord Crewe, and attended by other notables, including Lord and Lady Simon, Sir Archibald and Lady Sinclair, Ernest Brown and Mrs. Brown.

An average person will faint in less than 3o minutes if he is held motionlessly upright, says The Coronet. The new recruit may feel dizzy and weak while waiting stiffly for the inspect- ing officer. Later he learns that by inconspicu- ous toe wiggling and leg muscle contractions he can drive enough blood back to the heart to keep him from blacking out. The contraction and relaxation of any body muscle is in this sense e heartbeat. In fact, it is called “periphery heart action." There are about five quarts 0f blood in the body- The capillaries alone could hold nearly ninc quarts were they all wide open. Dur- ing quiet standing the heart pumps out only four and one-half quarts a minute because no more blood is forced back to it from the outlying capillaries. But with the lightest exercise, such as arm and leg raising, nearly eight quarts are returned to the heart each minute, and, there- fore, pumped out again. In strenuous action,

peripheral heart movement is so great that 40 or more quarts may be forced around the circuit pm‘ mfnult‘. This speedup of (lelivcry service sup- plirs the greater demands for oxygen in ex- CTCMC.

In the technological millennium that scientists have promised civiliz- ation after the war, Prof. Albert Eicle. Parr, director of the American Museum of Natural History, believes that. st last something can be done about the weather, says Time. He thinks that cities can be planned with built-tn climate control. Ad- dressing the graduating class at University of Chicago's Institute of Meteorology, Professor Parr observed indlgmmtly that scientists have done practically nothing about the wea- ther. “Our relations to the forces of weather and climate." said he. "are still in the most. primitive cultural stage " Pan's own ideas on climate control are still in a sketchy stage. but he offered meteorologists a few provocative suggestions: they might “create a city of calm 1n a windy location" bv means of windbreaks and shelter-belt planting. cool or warm a city by the use of "heat-gen- erating or llghtreflectlnz facades in city building," control the effects of the sun by intelligent planning of light and shadow.-E’xchange.

It ls- only natural that the shack- ling or prisoners of war, and most: particularly our own men 1n Ger- man hands, should arouse indigna- tion. It is exactly the kind of sub- ject to bring down questions in bar- liaincnt, and it has done so both in Ottawa and Westminster. Our prime minister has, however. said about all he can when answering that. the governments concerned feel ‘hey have taken all the action they can usefully tilke ncw. and that. what action should be taken after the war will be fcr the government and parliament then to decide. Protests betwcnn beliigerents naturally do not receive much sympathy from the recipients. A nation in the wrong will always be stubborn.
