IT CAN HAI'I'EN HKRE Some peopl who say or 'believe that it can't happen here, may have had their complacancy disturbed by the statement of the Navy Ministei that a Canadian corvette had attack- ed ami possibly sunk a U-boat in the Straits of Belle Isle. Mr. MacDonald made the announcement at the christ- ening' ceremonies of a corvette at Oakville. This utterance was supple- mented by Rear Admiral Nelles, Chief of the Naval Staff, who declar- ed that Nazi submarines had been vpottied lurking in the waters off Newfoundland and that in a very short time would be operating near the coast of Nuva Scotia. The clear implication is that active war is day by day approaching our very door, and that it ia the bounden duty of very Canadian to exert the utmost effort to bring about the defeat of the enemy. Just now, citizens are being urged to buy War Savings Cer- tificates, to make certain our fighting men will be equipped with the noc- esiary war materials. ENGINEERING FLAYS PART suit, a dental clinic was established at Camp Borden with a large and competent staff and forty thousand men, who would otherwise have been lost to the service, were successfully treated and overseas. ultimately proceeded The Dean of the Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering of th Uni- versity of Toronto lifted the veil slightly last week to reveal some of the remarkable achievements of the engineering profession in speeding up the Dominion's war effort. While* much that has been accomplished can- not ibe made public, as they are strictly war secrets, it can be an- nounced that in the machine tool in- dustry its capacity has been increas- ed by more than eight hundred per cent. And again, the problem of roll- ing armor plat has been success- fully hurdled and the number of .steel shapes being manufactured in Canada has been reduced from 267 to 70, saving considerable valuable time and labor. SAYS INDIANS DOWNTRODDEN According to Big White Owl of Middlemass, who writes with all the authority of a well educated man, al' is not Well with the Rudmen of On tario. Democracy, as the Indian knew it, stopped working four hund- red years ago. The treaties entered into the with White man, which were to run "as long as the grass shall grow and the rivers run," he declar- es were but scraps of paper. The Redman's way of life has changed and his hunting grounds ruthlessly destroyed. To-day Big White Owl says the Indians are a subject race, downtrodden, neglected and forgot- ten. He calls for a revision of the Indian Act of Canada, which, he de- clares, is a hindrance to the material, spiritual and social progress of the Redman. Today they are kept undei constant guard of Royal Canadian Mounted Police on Indian reserva- tions, which is just a technical terrn for concentration camps. He further asks of what materhl vahie and good is four or five dollars in annuity money issued to each Indian every spring and fall. TEA AND BRIDGE BROUGHT $60 TO WAR VICTIMS' FUND Mrs. J. A. Richards held an after- noon tea on Friday last and in the evening bridge was played, with 14 tables, and $60 was added to The Telegram British 'War Victims' Fund. Mrs. Harry Kitson of Dundalk won the ladies' prize in bridge and Mr. R. B. Heard of Flesherton the men's prize. Tickets had been sold on a hamper of groceries, and when Mr. Blaine Ritchie of Dundalk made the draw S. J. Stauffer was the winner. Mr. Stauffer donated the hamper for one of the prizes at the bingo held Tuesday evening. A strange coin- cidence at the bingo was that Mr. Stauffer won the hamper for the second time. MILITARY CONVOY WAS IN TOWN MONDAY MORNING A convoy of thirty military trucks, carriers and artillery tractors visited Flesherton Monday morning on a re- cruiting tour in this district. A dem- onstration platoon paraded, headed by two pipers and gave a pleasing show. They had only been in the army for eleven weeks and their pro- gress was creditable. The convoy was in town for about 20 minutes and left at 10 o'clock for Durham, and would be in Mt. Forest for noon. BORN MacCANNELL At Mrs. Nuhn's Nursino- Home, Flesherton, on Fri., November 7th, 1941, to Mr. and Mrs. Mervin MacCannell (nee Bessie Mc- Donald) a son, Donald Douglas. In this war, we have no illusion about the strength of the enemy or ;he length of the war. We have 'reely made our choice and we pro- pose to abide by the issue with all ! ree men until the end. CANADIANS A< ( KPT TAXEK One of the most cheering features in the present war situation has heen the manner in which Canadians have accepted the stringent regimentation essential to the war effort and found almogt imperative to check inflation which usually flows from a war econ- omy. Mr. Alfred N. Mitchell points out that less than one percent of Canadian income was devoted to de- ft-net- before thi- outbreak of war, Whereas in the present fiscal year, this country's expenditure on war, for herself and Great Britain, will ngceed forty percent of the national income. Despite this sever increase ia taxation, there has not been any rftal complaint from any class about tax strain. Many are willingly A KEGKETABLE RECORD It is not only a surprising revela- tion, but a blow at our pride as well, that the health of young Canadian? called up for compulsory service is very far from satisfactory. Of n total of 217,388 men examined only about 56 percent were placed in cate- gory A, the only category accepted for training at present by the Defense Department. From the 115,000 men reporting 10,000 were rejected after reaching training ecu '.res. Kipling referred to Canada a- "Our Lady of the Snows" and lesser poets have sung the praises of our virile men of the north, but medic il reports clearly indicate that there has been a let- down since the good old dnys when Canadians boasted of their strength and stamina. Of course, all men re- jected will not be lost to the armed forces. Plans are already being mad, to recondition these recruits and good results are expected to ensue. During the first Great War, n largo number of young men were rejected owing to defective teeth, the old ax- iom that an army travels on its stomach prevailing!. At that time re-inforcing drafts were badly needed and a man of the hour turntl up the person of the late Dr. Walter Thompson of Hamilton. He told the military authorities that, given pro- per quarters and the necessary equipment, he- yould soon remedy the matter of defective teeth.

STABILIZATION OF PRICES AND WAGES Your Country asks your loyal support of this Wartime Measure Two NEW CONTROLS have now become essential in Canada's wartime design for living. These are: (1) Control of Prices Commencing November 17, 1941, there may be no increase in the prices of goods and services generally unless absolutely necessary and authorized by the Wartime Prices and Trade Board. (2) Control of Wages No employer, with certain limited excep- tions, may increase the basic wage rates paid to his employees unless authorized by a Board on which the Government, employers and employees are repre- sented. But after February 15, 1942, every employer with the same exceptions, will be obliged to pay a cost of living bonus and to adjust this bonus every three months. Action Necessary to Stop Inflation This Government action has been taken to prevent the inflation we knew in the last war, and its subsequent depression, unemployment and suffering. Every housewife knows that prices are rising, und rising prices, unless controlled, will make it more costly and difficult to finance the war. Rising prices, unchecked, will spread confusion in industry and trade; will hinder production and proper distribution of sup- plies; will make the cost of living rise more rapidly than \\.igcs and salurL , \viil ICSM.I the value of savings; will rt'.ult in hardship for almost everyone, and espen.itiy tho.-u with small incomes. And the result c. ut" unfolled inflation, alter the war, when ^rices drop, will ag;iin be depression and unonpk.yment. Prices cannot be controlled without control of wages. Kxcess profits are, and will con- tinue to be, under rigid control. Coverage of Wages Stabilization Order The Order is applicable to the following employers: 1 Every employer normally subject to the Industrial Disputes Investigation Act. 2 Every employer engaged in the manufac- ture of munitions of war, or war supplies, or the construction of defence projects. 3 Every building trades employer with ten or more employees. 4 Every other private employer with fifty or more employees. The Order does not apply to employers in agriculture or fishing, or to hospitals, religi- ous, charitable or educational associations operated on a non-profit basis. Wage Provisions Except on written permission of the National War Labour Board, no employer may increase his basic wage rates. This permission can only be given in cases where the Board has found the wage rates to be low. Wage rates which are unduly high will not have to be decreased, but in such cases the Board may order the employer to defer the cost of living bonus. Cost of Living Bonus Every employer covered by the Order must pay to all his employees except those above the rank of foreman a wartime cost of living bonus. Effective November 15, each employer already paying a bonus under PC 7440 of December 16, 1940, shall add to such bonus an amount based on the rise in the cost of living index for October 1941, above the index number used to determine the current amount of the bonus. Effective February 15, 1942, each employer who has not been paying a cost of living bonus must begin to pay a bonus based on the rise in the index between October, 19-il andjanuary, 1942, unless ordered by the Board to base the bonus on the rise in the cost of living over a longer period. The bonus is calculated on the following h'sis: For each rise of one point in the cost of living the amount of the bonus shall be 25 c.-nts per week, except for male workers under 2 I years of ac and female workers, who, if e.y.plojt 1 .: ..: basic rates of less than $25.00 p-T week, shall receive a bonus of 1 percent of their basic wage rates. These bonuses will be adjusted regularly every three months. Administration The 'Order will be administered by five regional Boards under the direction of a National War Labour Board. Labour and employers will be represented on each of these Boards. Watch for the announcement of these Boards to which inquiries concerning the application of the Order should be directed. Whole-Hearted Support Required Your Government knows that this policy, as it affects labour, industry, commerce, and agriculture, demands a degree of restriction to which Canadians are not accustomed, and is directly a wartime measure. It will demand self-discipline and slf-control. It will need the whole-hearted support of everyone who has the well-being of his fellow citizens at heart. But bv loyal co-operation, Canadians can have much more assurance that the fears, sense of insecurity, the suffering and profiteering which inflation always brings, will neither interfere now in the winning of this war, nor in the recovery and reconstruction of Canada and the Canadian way of living after the war is over.
