of labour at ottawa has not been slow in easing manpower con trols enforced as a wartime necessity this week an order transferring workers to essential industries has been revoked and workers are now free to take jobs of their choice advertising restrictions are also removed and once again an employer may advertise freely with out that bothersome refer to n s s file which has handicapped both factors in job placing these past few years this in our pointofview is one control which was unnecessary and which merely confused the labour picture the system now and one which would have served the purpose throughout the war is that an employer must register the vacancy with the em ployment office before advertising and that men re sponding to the ad must apply to the employment officer the freezing order keeping men in designat ed establishments is to be cancelled on september 17th and directives keeping men in agriculture and directing men to agriculture will be eliminated after the 1945 harvest the tentative date being november 1 5th a thought of health insurance we don t claim this as our own idea but we were so impressed by a recent suggestion in the printed word that we thought it should be passed on to our readers we have always been an advocate of some form of health insurance whereby a man may be relieved of the fear of a serious illness in the family draining his financial resources to the brink of ruin illnesses can cost dearly can run into the large three figures and on into four in a very short space of time and to 99 out of a hundred men such misfortune can be something which will take a lifetime to repay at the same time we have always realized that as long as people are inclined to take advantage of benefits that there would be bound to be abuses in a health insurance scheme hat people would demand medical attention when it was not really necessary and hospitals would be crowded with people with minor ill nesses printed word makes the suggestion that a health insurance plan make the first 100 an obligaion of the sick person himself and that insurance take effect after this expenditure in other words it would corres pond to the 100 deductable collision insurance long in effect among casual l insurance people a simple solution with lots of merit we would say and one we hope our government will consider when the time comes to discuss national health insurance national clothing collection sponsored by the canadian lnited allied re lief tund a national clothing collection will be under taken in canada next month the organization is hop mg to secure at least 10 million pounds of good used clothing as canada s contribution to meet the clothing needs of 125 million persons in curopc canadian manufacturers could not suppu cmii a sm ill fnction of th total r quired and th- onlv hope is this appeal to the generosity of can ichans for clothine winch can be spared without replacement o clothe the unfortunate victims of war before winter sets m in georgetown he collection will be in charge of the red cross whose splendid local organization has done much in the war years to supply hospital quotas funds for prisoner of war parcels and blood plasma for the blood banks we ask every citizen to co operate in the dne and to start now to look up articles of clo hing for which you have no further use your discarded clothing may help to make life happier for some little russian trench or dutch child for a greek poiejaibelgian the big meal this story vouched for and authenticated by the wartime prices and trade board will help to ex plain why even though war has ended meat rationing will have to be undertaken in canada for some time to come we don t like the idea of rationing no free- hving democratic p opl do hut wo would be scarcely worthy of our life in canada if w did not have some pity for starving europe it was a couple of days before christmas last christmas and a bombardier named harry sta tioned with a winnipeg artillery battery near armen tierres he himself is from toronto thought it would be a good idea to have some kind of a spread to cele- 3mmte the festive season he discussed it with one of his pals and together they went into lille where they knew some french girls harry made it clear to one and all that no ex pense was going to be spared to make this a big party with all the food money could buy in lille you could n t really get anything to cat worth looking at twice there was one place though that sold what must have been black market food because it was way ahead of all the other spots in lille they went to this restaur ant and settled down to their christmas dinner well the soup wasnt too bad pretty strained hut edible then came the mam course salad and cold cuts the salad was mainly carrots and radishes the cold cuts consisted of a few slices of army spam they had ice cream and coffee to finish up with that was the biggest meal in lille and at the time it seemed quite something harry thinks we ought to send those europeans some hefty quantities of canadian food so they can eat at least as well as he did that day in lille he realizes meat rationing for instance is an inconvenience but against that he says whole world is in for a pretty poor time of it if europe is left to starve t georges cfjurcf harvest thanksgiving sunday september 9th matins 9 30
