MONDAY, AUGUST 19, 1940 Fail to Register Brings Danger of Penalty Failure to register during the three days of national registration, today, tomorrow or the following day (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday), will put any citizen over the age of 21 years in danger of penalty of the law. The government has taken cer- tain steps through advertising in the daily and weekly newspapers to notify the people of the dates of registration and of the nec- essity, but no individual notice, such as is used in the case of federal elections, has been sent. However the onus of register- ing rests upon every man and woman in Canada, no matter his or her age, whether they are ill and infirm, bedridden or other- wise. From actual practice in Oshawa where fndustrial firms have been registering since last Tuesday, about fifteen minutes is required to fill in each card. As the re gistration lasts only three days, all regis- trants would be well advised to be on hand at their registration booth as early as pos- gible. Briefly stating, the school nearest your residence is the place you should re- gister. In the down-town section, the people residing in the area near the old city hall should register there, and those in the south side of the business section should register at the old Y.M.C.A. In Ontario Riding, which includes Osh- awa, chief registrar, Col. Frank Chappell has secured the aid of many volunteer deputy registrars and assistants who will serve without pay. He admits the diffi- culty of informing everyone of the location of the registration centres. Notices have been tacked up on telephone poles and dther conspicuous places in every district and people are advised to read these and find out for themselves where to register. National registration is more than a ges- ture. It is a vital part of winning the war. It is not merely a nose-counting expedition by the government but is a definite and ne- cessary action enabling our leaders to meas- ure the full power and force of Canada's possible war effort, civil and military. The fnformation you supply when you answer the questions on the register will form the basis of the government's plans to further Canada's drive toward victory. Farmers and the Income Tax The major new war taxation so far has been imposed on incomes. That means that the levies will be paid largely in urban com- munities. Farmers are not income tax-pay- ers, generally speaking. Only a thousand agrarians in all Canada pay income tax to the Dominion. The new defense contribu- tion levy and the lower exemptions will hardly combine to increase that number very much. At first glance this looks most unfair. Why should not the farmers share in the general sacrifices of the war, it is asked by many people. People who recall the huge expansion in farm incomes during the past war may have difficulty in seeing why farmers are excused from these levies. Let us look at the facts. There has been no expansion in farm income in this war. Farmers generally are much worse off. They are not being "excused" from income taxes. They just are not earning incomes large enough to come up to the minimum income brackets. As a result of the war, Canadian farmers have seen their best markets wiped out. They hold huge surpluses of wheat, bacon, tobacco, apples, cheese, and other farm pro- duce. Prices are still low, although prices of the goods that farmers buy are creeping upward. : If records could be coldly investigated it would be found that in recent years a large proportion of Canadian farmers have had an actual cash deficit. Not many have earned a casi income sufficient to offset depreciation on their buildings and equipment and only a _ rare farmer has earned a return on his in- vestment over and above the sustenance of his family. The next group of war taxes will probably have to be placed upon commodities, such as through an increase in the sales tax or elim- ination of some sales tax exemptions. Here the farmer will be hit. If, in the meantime, his income position does not improve, his sacrifice to meet the new levies will be a heavy one, -- The Financial Post. British Market for Canadian Beef When Hugh Miller, well known district farmer, told Whitby Rotary Club last week that Canadian beef producers must look to the British market for the steady and and profitable disposal of their beef, he gave good reason for the faith that is 'n him. The youthful farmer argued that the Canadian owner of beef cattle cannot in the future hope with any degree of success to crash the United States market because of the fact that the republic is capable of producing all beef cattle required for domestic consumption, and with a carry over for export. Canada, as an important part of the British Empire and noted for its production of high grade beef cattle, should look to Britain, a country which de- pends largely on imports, as the logical and satisfactory market, and seek to culti- vate it. No better advice could be handed out to beef producers in Canada in war time, we think, than this. Britain, in addition, to feeding her normal population, is today feeding thousands of soldiers from all parts of the empire and from countries forced under German domination, and it does seem that she will require more beef than ever. Canada, therefore, seems to us to be the country towards which Britain can look to fill that requirement. Even if the United States was a better market so far as prices go there is to consider the rate of exchange. It would, however, be an act of patriotism to serve the British market first even if the financial returns were a little less. Should Think of Jobs First A man convicted in Whitby district police court last week of driving a motor car while drunk pleaded that he would lose his job if he had to serve a jail term. The plea, however, did not deter the magistrate from doing his duty and the man went down for seven days. In addition the driv- ing license of the accused was suspended for three months. Employed motorists who thing that they can drink and drive and escape the penalty by pleading that a jail sentence means joining the ranks of the unemployed have in the past been badly mistaken and the courts in the future can be counted upon to see that they continue to be. Better to think of the job first than to have to regret when it is gone. There can be absolutely no excuse for drunken driving. Motorists know what the penalty will be if they are caught. The public must be protected. Editorial Notes "Team work" is the subject of a recent poster issued by the Industrial Accident Prevention Associations, designed to be placed in all industrial plants throughout the province. The poster reads: "Team work will do the trick. You and the 'big boss," the foreman and the man beside you are all partners. What hurts one, hurts all; what benefits one, benefits all." For those who like success stories, we heartily commend the leading article in last week's Saturday Evening Post, entitled "Adventures of a White-Collar Man". This is the story of rise to fame and fortune of Alfred P. Sloan, Jr., chairman of the Board of the great General Motors Corporation. The article will be an inspiration of all young people who have their foot on the first rung of the ladder with a determined ambition to climb all the rungs. News from the home front has it that, despite a persistent and savage fire from flit-guns, co-ordinated attacks with pillow- slips, and furious bastinadoing with fly- swatters, the enemy has come in dense formations and penetrated weaknesses in window-screens at unnamed districts dur- ing recent nights. In the confusion and darkness, "some of our defenders mistook one another for the enemy, and there were a number of casualties." A Bible Thought for Today NO GOOD DEED NOR THOUGHT EVER IS WASTED: Thus saith the Lord; Refrain thy voice from weeping, and thine eyes from tears; for thy work shall be rewarded, saith the Lord; and they 'shall come again from the land of the enemy, -- Jeremiah 31: 16. | Course Completed in Voca- {weeks of training, more than 100 | vincial Youth Training Scheme. | maintained regular | being absorbed into various indus- | pressing shortage of trained men. | number of the boys found their ser- HE HUFFED AND HE PUFFED=, SA Zens i RECRUITS TRAIN IN FACTORIES | AT PETERBORD | | tional School, Now Qual- ify as Mechanics Peterboro, Aug. 19 -- After six youths from Peterboro and the sur- rounding district went Friday from their emergency war training classes in the vocational school to various Peterboro factories. The boys are graduates from th2 course of pract- ical mechenaical studies held under the auspices of the Dominion-Pro- 24, the boys have fadtory hours, and have absorbed as a result of their studies a feirlv comprehensive knowledge of blueprint reading, ma- chine-shop work, and the general theory of assembly, especially with regard to close-fitling parts.

The youths come not only from Peterboro, but from the surrounding country and villages as well, and are for the most part second and third year students of the regular voca- tional school classes. It is expected that similar classes will be continued for some months to come, although details have not yet been decided upon.

WOMEN SPEAKERS AT GENEVA PARK Share Spotlight With Bril- liant Array of Male: Speakers Near Orillia Lake Couchiching, Aug. 19 -- Two women shared the spotlight with a brilliant array of male speakers at the ninth annual Canadian Insti- tute on Economics and Politics which opened at Geneva Park Sat- urday night.

DUKE SWORN IN BAHAMA CROWD CHEERS LUSTILY New Governor Takes Oath Few Minutes After Landing Nassau, Aug. 17 -- The Duke of Windsor wes sworn in today as Governor of the Bahamas to the sound of rousing cheers that echoed through Naussau's tiny legislative chamber. The cheers burst forth when the Duke in an impromptu two-minute speech thanked the islanders "in behalf of myself td my wife, the Duchess," for the cordiality of their reception. A moment before he had taken the official oath of office in the white, green-shuttered frame building which houses the legislative cham- ber. "I hope," the Duka said, "that with my past experience and your co- operation my task here will not: be too formidable." The Duke and Duchess stepped ashore from a grey steamer, at 10.16 am. EDT. to the sound of a royal salute and the strains of "God Save the King." The Duke wore # general's uni- form and the Duchess wore a flow- ered blue and pink dress, a royal blue coat, and a white-shelled turban and blue jewelled earrings with clip to match. A crowd of 16,000 persons jammed the waterfront. The Duke stood ay smttention dur- ing the ceremonies. The Duchess smiled at the guard of honor and fanned herself with a palm leaf fan as the Duke reviewed the troops. Only 16 minutes after he first stepped ashore the Duke was sworn into office. He repeated the official owth after Chief Justice E. B. Daly in the colony's council chamber. Mrs. W. L. Heaque, wife of the acting governor, set the fashion in greeting the Duchess. She bowed when she was introduced to the woman for whom Windsor gave up the throne of Great Britain. Other officials then followed her precedent and bowed too, ! Reveal Correct Title For Naval Minister Ottawa, Aug. 19. -- The office of Hon. Angus L. Macdonald cleared up a misunderstanding on his of- ficial title which .& Minister of Na- tional Defense for Naval Services. In news stories he has been iden- tified as Minister of National De- fense for Naval Affairs. At his of- fice it wes explained that the first drdft of the Act creating his posi- tion so identified him. However, the Act, as it finally passed the House of Commons provided for a Minis- ter of National Detense for Naval Services, not Affairs. ARTRAINING PLANEXPLAINED T0 US. EDITORS 3,500 Air Crew Students to Train in Empire Common- wealth Scheme Ottawa, Aug. 19 -- More than 3,500 air crew students will be study= ing In 60 establishments in opera- | tion throughout Canada by Sept. 1, James S. Duncan, Deputy Minister for Air, today told a group of Unit- ed States weekly newspaper editors The editors were guests of the Canadian Weekly Newsnapers Asso. ciation and the Hotel Association of Ontario at luncheon, Mr. Duncan invited Americans both "officially and unofficially" to "come over here gnd study our plans and discuss your problems with us." "There never was a time in the history of our two peoples when a more complete understanding and community of spirit existed between us than at present," he said. "And if there is hove in this world of bit- ter strife in which we are living, surely it is the example of friend- chip, or mutual esteeem and of un- derstanding which characterizes the relationship between your country and this Dominion." The British Commonwealth Alr Training Plan, he said, resembled a great, nation-wide university in which students would assemble from all parts of the Empire. The object was to turn out airmen trained under ideal conditions, free from interruptions and difficulties inherent in training in the United Kingdom. Sees Losses Inflicted And Great Damage Done Underm ining Nazi Morale Hun Air Force Cannot Long Sustain Such Pun- ishment, Says Captain H. Balfour Ottawa, Aug. 17 -- "We have a mevked superiority in bomber planes. Every night our bombers go over Germany administering great material damage, and smash- ing German morale," Capt. Harold Bedfour, Britist Under-Secretary for air, said here. He painted out, too, that virtually the whole future of civilization rests upon the endurance, courage and skill of a few thousand young men" who make up the British air fight- ing force. "I do not believz any air force, however big, cen continue for very -| long to sustain the losses being in- flicted by our fighters against the Germans. Flesh and blood and morale of a force such as Germany has cannot continue to fue such circumstances," he declared. Capt. Balfour, who flew to Canada the other day aboard the Atleatic Air- ways flying boat Clare, pointed out that very heavy camage has been done to industriel areas in Germany, news of which has been submerged as for as possible by the Nazi au- thorities. So long as Briain's air fighting strength can be maintained, any at- tempts at invasion Ly Germany are doomed to failure, according to Capt. Balfour. Fell Like Confetti So long as these air defences can be maintzined Germany will be un- able to achieve success either by way of invasion of by Llockade of the | British Isles, the air official said. | Germans fell from the sky "like con- fetti" whenever they met British fighters. Here to consult and assist Can- adian officials in further develop- ment of the Britisn Commonwealth Air Training plan which he helped launch last fall, Capt. Balfour gave o press interview in afternoon. He flew to Canada on the British flying boat Clare, arriving Thursday night. The air training scheme was of ever-increasing importance. ss the | war developed, Capt. Balfour said. | He expressed satisfaction at the pro- | gress being made and said Great | Britain would soon catch up with her | tesk of supplying tiie necessary ma- chines, after the interruption caused | by German conquest of the Low i Countries and capitulation of France. Saw Mass Attack Cept. Balfour had first hand knowledge of the German mass air attacks made on England up to noon Wednesday when he took off from a British seaplane base. He said no great material damage had been in- flicted on Britain up to that time. Germany has a numerical superiority in the air but Great Britain has the advantage of better built machines, better trained crews and better morale, said Capt. Bal- four. Soon he hoped the numerical advantage would he on the British side. "We will have to wait and see," Capt. Balfour said, when asked if Great Britain will bomb Berlin if Germans startod indiscriminate bombing of London. The balloon barrage had been a success so far as it was intended to serve, the air official said. The bal- loons were not primarily to trap raiders but to keep them at a height which would render accurate bomb ing difficult and make them better targets for anti-aircraft guns, WARNS PEOPLE TRAITORS ACTIVE ACROSS CANAD! Transport Minister Appe to French-Canadians of Fifth Columnists Ottawa, Aug. 19--Transport Min. ister Cardin appealed to French Canadians to register "as good Can adians" this week and warned that fifth columnists were operating Canada.
