You are a stranger here but once BRITISH WAR VICTIM'S FUND CARRIES ON TO THE END BRITISH CHILDREN NEED IT Will Continue Open as Long as Anyone Wishes to Contribute One Dollar The Evening Telegram British War Victims' Fund goes on. In view of the fact that the people of Britain have suffered 60,585 dead and 86,175 injured so severely as to require hospital attention, and are faced with at least 20 years of work in restoraiton and rehabilitation, the British War Victims' Fund will continue open as long as anyone wishes to contribute one dollar to that need. Thousands of children have to be fed, clothed, educated and fitted for life and owing to the misfortunes of war they have no parents to do this and no one to do it except warmhearted Canadians and warm-hearted friends the world over. The Lord Mayor of London's National Air Raid Distress Fund was established in the beginning with the expectation that it would be used over a long period of time in caring for war victims, educating children who had suffered by war and restoring Britons to their position before the war began. Contributions of Telegram readers have been sent to this fund as promptly as given on the direct suggestion and advice of Prime Minister Winston Churchill himself. This fund will continue to distribute relief as needed with the assistance of the Women's Voluntary Service for Civil Defence. The WVS already has distributed large amounts of money contributed for relief by the British War Victims' Fund. They are another agency endorsed and recommended by Mr. Churchill. The Telegram will notify readers immediately should the situation become such that no further assistance needed. In the meantime The Telegram will continue, as in the past, to transmit overseas 100 cents of every dollar without any charges or deductions. SERIOUS SHORTAGE OF FIREWOOD Ottawa--Ontario, Quebec and New Brunswick are faced with a serious shortage of firewood for next winter, Munitions Minister Howe warned re- The Minister appealed to all municipalities in wood-burning areas to canvass their own local situation and make all necessary arrangements for sufficient production. He said that farmers and other fuelwood producers should cut as much as possible during the balance of this spring and in the early summer. "We are faced with a situation similar to that of two years ago," said Mr. Howe. "Because of the continuing shortage of labour, and because early snows shortened the normal winter cutting season, in many sections not more than half as much firewood was cut as in the previous winter. Yet in the previous winter of 1943-44, the finest cutting season in 70 years ,the output was below normal. "The shortage can be overcome and distress avoided only if fuelwood producers cut as much the next few weeks." MILITARY CALL-UP-NEW PROCEDURE Ottawa, May 7.--The Ministi Labour, after conferring . with the Minister of National Defence by telephone, announces that the following decisions have been made in respect to "call-ups" for the Army 1 On and after this date, call-ups for the Army are suspended. 2 Arrangements have been made that volunteers will be enrolled for the war in the Pacific and there will be an opportunity for any men who wish to do so to volunteer for this service. 3 Any men ordered for medical examination who were due to report prior to May 7, 1945, must do so and be medically examined; however, those who are found fit for the Army will not be called for rnilitary service for the present. 4 Any men who have been called to report for military duty on May 7 or on a prior date, who have not reported and are consequently delinquent, must do so and if found medically fit will be enrolled in the Army. 5 Any men who have been called to report for military service on a date after May 7, 1945, will be given transportation and sent home and will not be enrolled for Army service unless they volunteer for service in the Pacific. Since price control was adopted in Canada the cost of living has advanced little more than 3 per cent, as against 33 per cent during the corresponding period of the Great War. It is AFTER THE WAR ! We're waiting for the green light, when telephone men and materials are back again, well resume our rural expansion program where we left off. First job of all will be to supply service to families on our waiting list. Then will come such major projects as extending facilities into new areas; replacing 'Veteran" equipment; raising standards of service. Simply to relieve present crowding on rural lines will mean running more man 8,000 miles of wire from present pole lines. Then well need extensions to the pole lines themselves--some 2,500 miles of them--to reach additional communities. Wherever we find one family per half mile of main road wanting telephones, wo plan to construct pole lines Hall means PEOPLE AT WORK ... work which must be done, if telephone service is to keep pace with rural needs. It is work which calls for the efforts of linemen, service men, operators, office workers. To get it done, well need not only every present Bell employee, plus all those now away on military service, but many more workers besides. 01^ ' S»OME GOODS i SOME GOODS ARE STILL SCARCE . . . War came. Most civilian goods had to be diverted to war needs. That caused shortages of civilian goods--that mats the RED LIGHT don't jump the YELLOW liqht Some restrictions have been lifted, but war demands are still great. We must help our Allies and the liberated countries. We can't neglect them. (This is the YELLOW LIGHT ONLY). It does-not mean the end of shortages. Getting back to peacetime production will be piecemeal and gradual. Goodwill, patience and energy now will assure a prosperous Canada tomorrow. north S'een Ughtyet Only after Victory over Japan can the Green Light be switched on, and the road cleared for enough production to meet all our civilian needs.
