The Deserler Conscripls

Even now, after three years of war, says Montreal Gazette, there remain a fair proportion of potential volunteers still in civil life— men who have not joined up for one reason or an- other, but who are at least well disposed toward the war and arc ready to be soldiers when called. The Government proposes to wait until these men are exhausted. until every device of pro- paganda and persuasion has drawn the last \vill- iug man into the ranks of the fighting forces. Then, and only then, will it go out to col- ect the remainder by compulsion. What sort of soldiers will this residue make? Some of them deserted the colours on the eve of the war for "safety first" jobs, and as conscripts their hearts will still be in the flcsli pots of civilian IlXIlfy.

Many will recall the Rev. D. M. Lamont who recently passed away in Glasgow, as he was Uln- istcr of the Central Church, when it was in a Prcsbytcuv of the Colonial lloard of the Church of Scotland, having succeeded the late Rev. Mr. MacLean in that capacity. He left here for Toronto and then received a call to the High- lands of Scotland from which he received att- other call to a leading city congregation in Glas- gow. His only son follows him in the ministry.

Prime Minister Mackenzie King told the House of Commons that he will not table the Vining report on Canadian publicity in the Un- ited States. Tlie Vining report contained infor- mation and expressions of opinion from people who would not have spoken if they thought their words and names would be made public. Every government had the satire problem of publicity, Mr. King said, and he was as anxious as the Op- position lcader—- and more so-to see Catiadals war effort get as much publicity as possible.

Under the title, “Canada's War Materials Con- tribution to United Nations,” B. T. Richardson of the Winnipeg Free Press has written an ex- cellent piece for the latest issue of “Bulletins from Britain," a weekly publication of the Brit- ish Information Services. 1\lr. Richardson's ex- position of the Dominion's war effort is an im- pressive document both as to content and style. He is particularly shrewd in drawing his com- parisons with the American war effort. If his article catches America in a mood for studying figures, it should correct a lot of misapprehension on that side of the border.

The Washington Post has gone “all out for war," and “all out" against snobs, climbers, and would-be social selectiority. It says: "We shall feature personalities (men and women) who arc contributing to the war effort, Visitors (royalty or commoner) whose arrival on the capital scene obviously is connected with the fight for the stirvival of democratic peoples, and newcomers who bring us a fresh perspective on the task at hand.

Agricultural Accidents

(Halifax Chronclls)

'I‘h.e scarcity of farm labor and the attempts to offset. it are clear- ly demonstrated ln the M8188 "W cendo n: 531-1 ‘I accidents In all parts of ciinuaa. of their new" most. of these accidents are due. 11°! so much to carelessness. B! l0 ignorance of the farm implements and the manner in which they should be handled. On at leﬂst W0 occaslo last. week, young NOW! Scotlan girls suffered from serlm-l! leg injuries operations.

A large number of these accid- ent; might be avoided if we would avail ourselves of the lessons o! Britain. when the male farm labor was largely depleted and women wo.kers went onto the farms, the wives and daughters of the farm- ers, who had been brought up and educated in farming pursuits, went lnbo the fields. Women from the towns and cities, who had volun- teered for service, went into the kitchens and the fann homes and performed the household 0110.65.

To avoid agricultural accidents demands of necessity considerable

care in the operation and handlinﬁ r1 1

of farm implements. Pitching hi)’ may look like a simple operation from the sidelines but it. can be- come a dangerous one lf approach- ed in haste. Similarly with iunnaig a tractor or mowing machine. Care in all these operations Ls essen-lol not. only to the beginner but td the seasoned ‘veteran.

As a logical development. farm implements and machlner must be maintained ln good conoitlon arid best working order. Countless agzl- cultural accidents in the past have been attributable to defective e-qulp- ment. and carelessness 1n the up- keep of implements. A good farmer would not allow his mom and machines to stand under the trees overnight. Care of farm implements i5 pail, and parcel with their use. Effective ivorking condition ts doubly essential now for no: only does it allay the danger of accid- ent but helps to maintain product- ion at a high level.

The food front ls today a prom- inent war industry. Military needs have depleted farm labor and the necessity of maintaining and ln- creasing production among the rc- muinlng workers puts the whole process under added strain. Accid- ents caused by ignorance, careless- ness or mismanagement detract from the total national effort and bdng added costs and sufferings to those engaged 1n agricultural ptrsults. Let us consciously endeav- or to restrict these accidents to the very best of our ability.

Response T0 Overalls

(Betty Moore, in the Christian Science Monitor)

When I arrived in London for the first. time since war broke out 1 expected u few surprises and changes. But, however far any flights of imagination might have carried me. I could scarcely have zuessid the loud cackle of hens would awaken me on my first. morn- ing in the West End. Sleep was banished instantly. I got up and cau~ tiorsly looked out. Down below in a microscopic backyard were three bronze-colored hens, preenlng, shak- ing and strutting.

One of them. presumably the one who had awakened me was still shrilling vociferously, apparently telling all and sundry that naughty ivorlu or no naughty world, she at least had done her daily blt. ul- ready that; mot-rung. One side of tne yiard v/as a tiny henhouse, just the length of the wall, On the other a sooty azalea struggled up from a gceu box. It- held two pale-flow- ers. pfrtlt-slic in an unequal struggle with their surroundings. They pro- vided me only bit of color in a gray dinllfness.

Suddenly a, door opened and sur- prise number two appeared. A slen- oe: woman in overalls with a gar- gantuan volce- a cross between megaillioned talk and the timbre of n tuba. “Now, now, what's all this? What's all this?" she sold, address- ing the hens. "For to much noise and not enough work." She spooned out some food into an empty dlsh. Then she disappeared and silence fell on the little yard save for a few

satisfied cluckings as the meal "l

quickly disappeared. I went on with my dressing. suddenly another com- motion below. The voice was heard again and a one-side conversation boomed out, as a pan of water, this

time, was provided. A large blac" .

cat. now joined the family grou‘ 32% was lapping from the hens‘

I went down to breakfast. Affor- the cereals an enormous boiled egg appeared: I chipped 1t doubtfully. Was it really new lald? It was. It takes a war, I thought. The lady of the yard appeared and to my amaze- ment spoke tn an ordinary feminine voice. I congratulated her on having new-laid eggs. "Yes", she said, look- ing at my fast-emptying shell. "That is one of Prince Eugenb. I always know the shape." She wont on proudly. "Once she laid. one that weighed three ounces." I tried to look intelligent, though I hadn't the faintest notion what an egg should weigh. But the name Prince Eugen.

I felt a little shattered and was pulling myself together when my friend returned with a relay of toast. "What name did you say?" I asked weakly.

“Prince Eugen." she smiled. "You see, I named them Prfnoe Eugen Gneiseneau, and scharnhorst, be- cause I'd teamed how to pronounce them from hearing them no often on the radio and I was a0 pleased."

"They laid forty-eight; eggs hut month", she continued in her soft. voice. Even to my ignorant earn this seemed a masterpiece of wor- tlme output.

"There were fourteen more," the

In went on. "but they had soft shells.

Not enough grit, you know. I have to make them work for their food. It's not easy in such a snail space, but Ihlde ft among the cinder-s. Then ‘l talk to them like a man. to make them think they are on n farm." Thus was the tuba voice

The Isle Of Man

(Manchester Guardian) _

The Isle of Man's budget snows ln Interesting situation. The Manx government has more money than it; knows what to do with. ‘The l5- iand. as we all know, has fiscal autonomy, subject to vague aver"- dng powers at Westmtnlster. But as a matter of administrative con- venience its customs and excise duties always approximate to those on the mainland. The British gay- ernment. has gone on durin; me war increasing the liquor and to- bacco duties and the purcunse tux The Isle of Man does the same. wltn the result that it finished the last financial year vi-ith a surplus of £179,724 instead of the estimated £10,837. Precisely the same thing happened in the last W31‘. With n0 taxes other than customcs and ex- cise the island had a surplus in- come of a third more than its ex- pendltude. The inequity of this met- hod of taxation was one of the spurs of a vigorous reform move- ment, and so bitter was the opposi- tion of the then govemltig olig- archy and of the ivealthier classes that an income tax had to be forc- w on the governor, Lard Raglan, by the Home Office. That was tn 1918.

The present governor's policy (the governor is a. chancellor of the exchequer) has been more pzogres- sive than LIOTd Raglanls. Iiord Gran- ville lntrocluced higher income tax and a surtax ln 1939, and the tax rates were raised again last. year. This year there 1s to be no change, and the income tax rates remnln at from 2s, 6d. to 4s. 1-2d., with sur- tax (on incomes over £2000) rising to 4s, 9d. The Isle of Man has no death duties, so that the wealthy residents who keep to Manx pro- parties and securities enjoy a great advantage over those of comparable income in Great Britain. At the same time the poorer classes have less protection. In the lust war the island had no old ave pensions or health insurance; it had hardly any rationing and prices were allowed to flnd their own hiizh level. The island has moved a little since. it has old-age pensions and health insurance but it has no unemploy- ment insurance. It ls Introducing rationing. though slowly. and Lord Granvlllek budget contains nrovls- ton.- for subsidies on the Brlttsh model to stnblllse prices.
