these days when shortages are the rule rather than the exception the main thing which worries the male of the species is the shortage of shirts we are go ing to pass on the main points of a news release from the wartime prices and trade board which ex plains the main factors in the problem it wont help yocrto get an extra shirt but it may aid in developing one of the greatest virtues man can today possess pat ience i first comes the main factor shortage of fabric the worldwide shortageaffects canada in two ways by increasing demands on canadian production and by making it almost impossible for canada to obtain sup plies of cotton yarns and fabrics from other countries on top of this we have continued shortages of labour plus an unprecedented domestic demand accelerated by demobilization to meet the problem the government is keep ing a tight control over the whole shirtmanufacturing industry inventory supplies are checked and no one manufacturer is allowed to keep excessive supplies or raw stock or finished goods on hand a priority has been given to the use of shirting material for mens and boys shirts price increases were allowed to encourage production and compensate for increased costs the export field is closely regulated in order to keep as many as possible shirts for the home market there is a reason why shirts continue to be expor ted in spite of the fact that the home market can more than take care of all production in normal times can- tkda depended on such places as newfoundland and the west indies as an export market if canada failed to jceepaa foothold others would step in and it is impera tive for future canadian trade prosperity that we keep these markets as far as possible at present shirt production in canada is some 25 per cent higher than in 1945 and slightly above the nor mal peacetime production it will be greater as the months go by and we can look forward to someday again having all the shirts we can wear a community affair general approbation is being expressed with the formation of a welcome home committee to plan for a presentation to men and womenwho served with the forces during the present war georgetown has not been a pacemaker in this project and many feel that glen williams has put us to shame with their dig day successfully completed however we shall be all the better for the experience gained in the glen and the lo cal committee will benefit from the advice of those who did such a grand job m our neighbouring community the job is one which requires the cooperation of every group and every individual in town the big job is first to compile a complete and accurate list of those who are to be honoured to sift through the hundreds of names which appear on various gift lists church and industrial honour rolls and make sure that no one is missed line has to be drawn as to where the presen tations are to stop and this will be decided at a commit tee meeting next monday night so far indications are that the welcome home will be strictly limited to geor- getown folk who were resident in georgetown when they enlisted as it is felt that those who reside ouside town limits will share in a community welcome in their respective communities further details will have to be decided at the outset about georgetown men who pos sibly were living in another town for a few months be- for enlistment and some general yardstick arrived at the decision will have to be made as to what is to be given how the money will be raised what form the presentation will take and when all his preliminary work is done the real job starts canvassing for funds committee appointments made for the presentation day and all the thousandodd details which go to make up a successful affair something new for georgetown the track and field meet scheduled bv george town recreational council in the park on civic holiday will be one of the most ambitious events held in town for many years- forty
