Presided over by Alex Maclaren, Director of the Farm Service Force, the conference received reports from placement officers and camp supervisor? throughout the Province, and except in Western Ontario, the need for workers to fill up the Farm Service boys' and girls' camps, and for placement on individual farms, pears to be the most serious of any of the war years. It was reported that the general farm labour situation has been eased by the onflux of Western Harvesters and by the use of prisoners of war in some areas. An analysis of the reports showed that there will be a definite need for 1,000 girls and women a hundreds of boys to keep the farm camps up to their requirements, and to provide help for farmers on indi vidual farms. The situation will become most serious immediately after August 20 and especially so after the high schools open on September 4th. Considerable stress was laid on a statement issued by the Minister of Education announcing that any secondary school or grade could be closed by the school board for a period not exceeding four weeks to permit the pupils to help in harvesting, processing, canning or preserving food. A further announcement from the Minister of Education reads as follows; "Pupils who re enrolled in schools or grades which are not closed and who during the summer holidays were employed in essential work connected with the food supply and whose services are required further, are asked to remain at their work during Septembe." Plans for the recruiting of the necessary personnel, both boys and girls, to fill up the farm service camps for the rest of the season were discussed and adopted. Any boy or girl, man or woman, givhrg four weeks' service, will receive free transportation one way from home to the place of employment, while those who remain until the end of the season, approximately October 15th, will be paid transporation both ways. An extensive advertising campaign to enlist volunteers for this important season was approved. 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 recently. 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 be-e 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 70 years ,the output was below normal. "The shortage can be overcome and distress avoided only if fuelwood producers cut as much as possible in Canada Fights Inflation What About Meat Rationing? One of the great privileges of living in a democracy is the right to disagree with what goes on and to say so in a loud voice. At the same time, one of the responsibilities of living in a democracy is to accept, each man to his share, the burdens of the nation until circumstances improve. Take rationing, for instance, No one likes to have to put up with the fus of ration books and with the necessity of going short on meat butter or sugar. Farmers don't like to be told they can't slaughter their cattle and sell meat when and where they please. But it is no answer at all to say, "I'm not going to be pushed around, if they think they're going to control me, I just won't raise hogs or cattle." Nations have more to do than just sit down and see how they can annoy people the most ... no, there are simple easily-understood reasons hind such a present necessity as meat rationing and before we go any further let's look at them and then make up our minds what our attitude should be. In the first place, let us admit outright that there is a goodly quantity of meat in this country at the present time. True, our hog popu lation has dropped alarmingly against last year's production. Defi nitely there are cattle in fields and In stockyards. But there certainly aren't enough cattle to keep Europe from starving, or even to fill our very moderate commitments to Great Britain and Europe and still keep ourselves reasonably well fed unless we distribute the available supply carefully. World demand is so very great that our huge herds seem paltry in com parison. Very well, what is the bes! way to handle the situation? The answer is straghtforward--the fairest posible way is to control and direct the supply. That is, Canada must have some legitimate means of directing the amount of meat to go abroad and the amount Canadians are to get, with each citizen receiving an equal share. Without slaughter permits, animals can be slaughtered and disposed of all over the country, willy nilly, with some people getting plenty of meat and some practically n So slaughter permits are the first step and individual rationing the second. That way everyone including the hungry European, gets meat. What was happening prior to rationing plan was that less and less meat was going through federally-inspected plants. It was just disappearing in country areas without any chance of much of it going over- " Thus our attitude to meat rationing must take these factors into consideration. Meat is rationed to provide fair distribution to all and to make sure Europe is kept from complete disaster. No other system yet devised would give the same results. Moreover there is a consideration that should make us think twice about our responsibilities to Great Britain and Europe. If we do not help them in their dire ne?d we are likely to run into difficulties disposing of our meat surpluses in Europe m the years to come when we will be eager for foreign markets. If our meat export trade was blocked we would face a national catastrophe amounting to the loss of billions of dollars. e are no. longer a nation of little people whose furthest horizons are own fence-posts. Today, we can see. beyond those fence-posts to the needs of our own fellow-Canadians and beyond that even to the starving shores of Europe.

Air Marshal Bishop, who is chairman of The Salvation Army National Advisory Board, reports a great increase this year in the demands on The Salvation Army for help, the principal reason being the return of soldiers from European duty^ many with domestic or other problems beyond the scope of Governmental aid. Among other reasons are the changing industrial picture and the grave housing situation. "The work of The Salvation Army is expanding year by year," said Air i Marshal Bishop. "There is no holiday 1 in human problems and human needs."
