EDMONTON, Dec l2 — (OP) - There's no glamor in being a soldier's wile. said Mrs.

Mal-Gen. _ Worthington, officer conlmanding Western Army colli- msnd-recently bade farewell to a long army career.

"An army wife is a profession just like a soldier and it's tougher too because there isn't any glsmor. But there are compensations- you make friends across thecontlnent and travelling develops a tremend- ous love o: Canada-it really is a lovely country.

Mrs. Worthington was born Larly Dlgnum in Toronto and at- tended Branksomo Hall. a Tor- |onto private school, before her

marriage in i024. Since that time she's had 3i. homes and now. she says, "I'm looking forward to un- packing completely and entirely for the first time in Xi years-and it's a wonderful feeling."

The root of present difficulties was not so much material short- ages as the divisions and opposit- ions which the strain of war had introduced into the body of Eur- ope and in some measure into every country.

Force Reductions in Arnell Forces

I! JOIN DAUIBINIE

(Canadian Praaa Staff Writer)

LONDON. Dec. l2 - (OP) -- Britain’: armed forces next March at will still be almost twice as big es before the war - but military experts say they will be badly out of balance and lacking in effic- iency.

Inst August Prime Minister At- tlea set a demobilization target that would leave the forces 1.007.- 000 men and women by next spring. ‘vow, to provide more workers for civilian industry. the goal has been liFﬂPPed to 900.000.

That compar s with 480,000 in 195D. But the c t from 4.060.000 at the end of the war has come so quickly that it could not be ab- sorbed without dislocation.

‘Rained observers say there are two few long-term "regulars", too many short-term. semi-trained conscripts. Iltecruitlng of regulars has been slower than planned.

Otficlnl figures set the March I army strength at 637.000. air force at 266.000 and navy at 147.000. It is known that conscripts will make up at least two-thirds of the army figure.

Sacrifice Home ltrength

To maintain overseas ‘commit- ments, greater aince the Iwar be- cause of the need for large-scale occupation in Europe and the Or- lent. home defence requirements have been temporarily set aside. One military correspon ent re- ported the demobilization speed-up was ordered "on the assumption that war is unlikely for l0 years" from i046.

In October last year. infantry of the line was reorganized into 14 groups. regiments were to retain one or two regular battalions, sur- plus regular battalions being plac- ed in turn in temporary suspend- ed animation for limited periods.

Now. obviously due to cuts in men and money, all infantry reg- iments are being reduced to one regular battalion each. and train- ing establishments are being cur- tailed.

Already the‘ strength of the R..A.l". ls 70,000 below the 370,000 for which provision was made in the April air estimates. air min- istry spokesmen say. The new cut is likely to be little more than l0 per cent.

Force “Thlnned"

Reductions will have to be spread over the whole force, representing a “thinning instead of a diminu- tion in the number of units." wrote one aviation correspondent. add- ingz-

‘A IO-per-cent reduction in strength will mean that the aver- age squadron of 12 ‘serviceable’ aircraft will be lucky to put l0 air- craft lnto the air in event of an emergency."

Hardest hit proportionately is the Royal Navy, Defence Minister Alexander told the Commons the sharp run-down to 147.000 by March 3.1 was made "because the Admiralty feel that, if. over the

To maintain naval crews serving abroad, effective strength of the Home Fleet _- one battleship, five cruisers. and 12 destroyers ._ is being cut to one cruiser and four destroyers. As the permanent force is built up by voluntary re- cruitlng. ships will go back into service one by one.

Alexander estimated naval man- power would be sufficient to send the Home Fleet on an autumn cruise next year. Some senior officers. however, say the Fleet will not be at sea as an entity un- til the spring of 1949.

Ibr many years farmers through- out Canada have found their yield 0f clover seed has been falling. The high production of previous years is no longer possible in many established seed growing areas.

Poorly filled clover heads have baffled agricultural scientists. An upset in the plant nutrient bal- ance, scarcity o,f minor elements, insect injury and low bee populg- tlon have been all blamed for these poor results.
