M. Weir, "A Survey of Rehabilitation" tabled recently in the House of Commons. Dr, Weir, who has had consid- erable experience in preparing re- ports such as this one, is acting Director of Training of the De- partment of Pensions and National Health, and has been engaged since 1942 in compiling the survey based on opinions of substantial numbers of people with specialized knowl- edge in widely varied fields and on questionaires from men and wo- men in the Armed Services, and ~ business and professional groups. * * * In the opinion of these thous- ands of Canadians, when peace comes and after the transition from wartime to peacetime economies, there is a possibility of there being anywhere from a million to a mil- fion and a half additional jobs available in this Dominion. Professional opportunities are seen increased by 50,000 with doc- tors and dentists heading the list. Construction and building, manu- facturing and agriculture are seen as offering the greatest opportuni- ties for employment of men in the Armed Services, and, in the case of women, the three principal ficlds will be found in service (profes- sional, personal and miscellaneous), vocational and clerical work. o * x * The report discusses the possi- ~ bility of using present federal es- tablishments for training, including Army trade schools, Naval training centres and Air training sghools and special centres like Research Enterprises Limited, Toronto, and No. 1 Wireless School at Mon- treal. Public health experts agree on the early need of obtaining a large number of trained personnel and extension of both curative and pre- ventive faciliti¢és, and based on the possibility of a greatly expanded public 'health aiid health insurance program, the report foresees a def- inite increase in these Services' in municipalities. The report also re- gards as 'an encouraging sign "an.' educational awakening, particu- larly in Quebec and the. Maritime, Provinces." s . * en In agticulture, the report" indi- cates 1,240 government personnel will be. needed. Of these, 1,000 are in Quebec alone, under the head- ing. "District Agriculturists." The report explains that the Quebec fig- ure nieans positions corresponding to principals of rural elementary agricultural schools. The deputy minister of agriculture for Quebec arid his assistarits have been experi- menting during the last three years with boys' schools staffed by com- petenf instructors trained in agri- culture, The three R's and other _ elementary - school subjects, = as well "as .practical agriculture, are taught, and it is suggested that abolit 1,000 such schools would be desirable in the interests of Que- bec rural life.

His recovery has been so somplete, however, thanks partly to his splendid constitution and partly to the skill of his doctors, ' that Mr, Churchill was able to hold a delayed Christmas celebration at his house in London on the night of his return from Morocco. There was a jolly party--a turkey which had been kept carefully in cold storage -- and Winston pulled crackers with the best of them, tl is as wel that these facts should be known, in order to reassure the public generally as to the Prime Minister's health, Those who shared in the deferred Chris- tmas party declare that he has never been in better form, . IT'S A BIG WORLD > Twins of this 4x6-foot globe had to bé cut in half to enter the door- ways of the White House and No. 10 Downing Street, where deliver- ies were made at request of the War Department. Martha M. Boyer sits on top of the world--the kind uséd to plan campaign strategy. Hitler Indicates Suitable Understudy According to Stockholm reports, which may be takep as well-iff- formed, Hitler rectly held Berchtesgaden conference at which "he indicated Martin Bormann as in case anything happéned to him- self, writes the London corres- 'pondent" of The Ottawa Journal. Whetlier this is a hint that Hitler cotiteinplates hara-kiri, which he has frequently stated would be his resort in extremity, anybody is at liberty to -guess. His selected triumvirate, in the event of his own demise, consists of Bormann, as Number One, with Goering and Himmler, Bormann's reputation is a sinis- ter one. He is reputed, by those who kitow about him, the most * ruthless Nazi of them'all. His present task is disciplining Ger- many's dangerous lhome-front gag- rison of millions of conscripted foreign workers, These "are said to total over twelve millions, and they have been showing signs of restiveness. Bormann's hadling them are as drastic as his reputation suggests, He is 44, an atheist, and is described as "a chunky fittle man with thin black hair." He will indubitably look his best on a gallows, If His Muvver Could See 'Im During the naval battle in which the Scharnhorst was sunk by the Royal Navy, there were times ging and ducking splattered their ships. Midshipman A. Allen Shimmin, a Canadian aboard one of the warships, reports a marine bugler gaily going through the worst of it At the hieght of the battle, when shells were getting too close for comfort, the young bugler laughed and told a shipmate: "Gorblimey, 3 'arf 'ave fit, if she could only his nominee for the Fuehrership plans for , when the British tars were dod- as shrapnel muvver wouldn't | . tor which would undoubtedly help Would Help Keep -¥Youth On Farm Better Living and Working Conditions Would Help Reverse Trend To City Farmers are the backbone of Canada's economic life and their troubles hurt every Canadian, com- ments the Financial Post, Keeping the young men and wo- + men with brains and energy In the business of farming Is, therefore, a key Canadian problem. One fac- to reverse the nationally danger- ous trend from farm to city of many ambitious and energetic farm youth would undoubtedly be bet- ter living and working conditions, such as would be provided by elec- tric power, running water and their complements, 'of furnaces, flush toilets, bathtubs, sinks and the other conveniences which city dwellers take for granted. On Canada's farms 83% of the dwellings are of wooden construc- tion. Only 12% of our farm homes have hot air furnaces. Only 20% have electric lighting; 1.3% have a bathtub, There is a refrigerator in 22.2%; and only one farm home in"23 has mechanical refrigeration which we find in nearly a third of the utb- an homes. There is an automobile on only 43.7% of our farms and a telephone in 20.2%. Only one farm home out of 23 has an electric vacuum cleaner, Every Canadian has a vital in- terest in converting this potential market into an actual market, for economic reasons, and particularly for social reasons. Fortunately rural electrification is likely to make enormous strides during the postwar period. Real farm purchasing power has prac- tically doubled since the depression level of 1933. Our measure of suc- cess in maintaining reasonably high levels of farm piirchasing power will be of encrmous sig- nificance in shaping the Canada of 7 toniorrow. The Greatest Threat To Beef Production The health of beef cattle depends first upon the selection of strong, healthy breeding stock; second, the proper feeding with a better under- standing of nutritional require- ments, particularly as to mineral and vitamins in a balanced diet. Fat-producing feeds are not neces- saryly sufficient to produce a healthy state unles judicially supplemented by these essential aids. Third, pro- per sanitation and hygiene through- out the life of the animal. Fourth, the prevention of all contagious or infectious diseases which will re- spond to timely vaccination. Owners should be vigilant at all times to recognize any disease con- ditions that might suddenly or gra- dually enter the herd, so that prompt meastires can be taken to check the spread of these diseases, thus pro- tecting the remainder of the ani- mals from infection, and preventing needless losses. Efficient beef pro- duction is inore important to the nation this year than it has ever been before. = Live-stock diseases are the greatest threat to beef pro- duction at this time. Only by con- stant vigilance can disease losses be kept down, and production kept up. Head Searchlights For Downed Airmen Powerful enough to project a 1,500 candle-power beam visible at, 60 nautical miles, a midget search- light has been designed in the Uni- ted States to aid the rescue of air- men forced down at sea. The tiny lamp fits on a band around the head, so that the air- man ¢an have both hands free. One half of the lamp bulb is silvered to provide a reflector. ! It is claimed that the light will fast 100 hours or, if it is burned all night long, for ten nights. The designers declare that it pro- vides the most powerful beam ever obtained from such a tiny incan- descent unit, In crude forms, cosmetics were THE WAR . WEEK -- Commentary on Current Events A clearer perspective of the war-- one Which holds out high hopes for the future, but also reveals by how narrow a margin the Allies may have escaped catastrophe--is pro- vided by two reports just published, says the New York Times, . One Is the review presented to the House of Commons by Air Minister Sin- clair in which he declares: "There lies before us now clearly attainable the glittering prize of air suprem- acy--a talisman that can paralyze German industry and war trans- port." This is a confident, sweep- jug aml authorative statement, all the more impressive because it is based on actual battle results. First Condition of Victory It has become a military axiom that while the airplane can no more win wars that can any other single _ weapon, nevertheless, supremacy in the air is the first condition of victory, and especially of a victory which depends on. the success of amphibious operations of unpre- cedented dimensions, The course of the war has shown that victory in Europe is impossible without = mass invasion from the west, and the lessons of Sicily and Italy have demonstrated that such an invasion, which must be staged irom Britain across the English Channel, is like- wise impossible without complete domination of the skies. At best, the invasion will involve the great- est risks ever faced by any army; it woutl be foolhardy to undertake it before decisive victory is won in the air. possibility of such an air victory was in itself a "matter of grave doubt. In 1040 Hitler possessed air superiority, as the Allies do to- day; yet the British air force was able to maintain such striking power and "reserves that Hitler did not dare stage his own cross-channel invasion of Britain and instead turned east against Russia. Decisive Period Now, however, Air Minister Sin- clair assures us that not only Allied air superiority but Allied air su- premacy is in sight. His statement that the -period between the Febru- ary ard the March moons is likely to prove the decisive stage of the whole war demonstrates his con- fidence that the air victory is close at hand. That may turn out to be the optimism of the specialist, but Mr. Sinclair is able to back up his optimism with a greater display of air-power than was thought pos- sible only a short while ago. He is able to back it up with round-the- clock air attacks by thousands of American and British planes on both the German air force and the factories which produce its planes. He is able to back it up with the diminishing power of the German air force to interfere with these as- saults; in fact, some of the Allied air armadas now roam the German skies without catching a glimpse of a German plane. He is able to back it up, finally, with the dimin- ishing rate of Allied losses, a trend HAS INVASION ROLE Rear Admiral Alan Goodrich Kirk, above, will command U. S. Navy task force operating as part of com- bined naval force in the nalish Channdl invasidn area Adml Kirk, veteran of 35 years in the Navy, has beaten the Germans in the Me- diterranean, last year won Legion of Merit for his work in training task force for the North African kiiown as early as 5,000 B.C, landings. But until recently the Invasion Of Europe From West Impossible Without Air Supremacy which is bound to improve further as 'the German air force weakens. The path for the invasion, and therewith the road to Berlin, is in- deed being cleared, even if this phase should take longer than Mr. Sinclair anticipates. ie .- Lend-Lease to Russi The second report is that of lend- lease officials on shipments to Rus- sla. This is interpreted in Wash ington to mean that both the Uni- ted States and Great Britain strip- ped their own forces in the begin- ning to provide the hard-pressed Russian armies with that additional equipment" that spelled the dif- ference between victory and defeat. These shipments, which now exceed $4,000,000,000 in value and include 7,800 planes, 4,700 tanks and tank destroyers, more than 170,000 trucks, 33,000 jeeps and many other items, in addition to the huge sup- plies shipped to Russia by Great Britain, may have delayed both the training awd the equipment of the American and British armies, and therewith also the Allied prepara- tion for the present air battle and the invasion. But they helped to keep Russia in the war, and in so doing not only helped to save the Red Armies for the final battle but also prevented a junction of the German and Japanese forces and a decisive shift of the balance . of power in favor of the Axis. The ,- fact that Russia is now publishing full details of Allied aid, and that the Russians themselves are aston- ishel at its dimensions, indicates a new appreciation of the Allied role in the war which should smooth "the path to a more perfect co-oper- ation in the future.

Twice a week we make a forecast for five days ahead which is eighty-five to ninety per- cent correct the first day Dut gradually decreases in accuracy to- ward the end of the period. But these five-day forecasts are good enough so that urgent war traffic on the railroads is often routed according to them. A world network of weather- observing stations, sending reports to central offices, will come after the war. Ships and perhaps automatic floating stations will send in reports from the oceans. Long-range forecasts will im- prove. Research may enable us to predict weather trends for six months or a year in advance.
