Another Policyholder Reports... ~ts -Wuen DISCUSSING life insurance with ; _ two of my friends who ? are fathers of young «children, I found that they were particularly interested in learning that I own a policy in The Mutual Life of Canada called 'FAMILY INCOME,' which will provide an income of $100 a month for my wife at my death. This income will continue until I would have been 65 had I lived, and then, she will receive $10,000. "OF COURSE, I have made sure, through another policy in The Mutual Life, that she will also have a certain amount in cash with which to pay bills and to provide a reserve fund for emergencies. "I DISCOVERED during our conversation that these fathers were not aware that it was possible to obtain *, a policy with the benefits provided by the Family Income contract, and both of them have now interviewed my Mutual Life representative, whom I recommended to them, and discovered how the policy will fit into their insurance programs." Have a Mutual Life representative explain the special features of this Company .. . and let him arrange a : Family Income policy for you, or whatever policy may be suitable for your particular circumstances.

With peace an actual- ity, with the opposition much strong- er, and with problems of postwar re- construction growing almost by the hour, it is evident in well-informed quarters in this capital that debates will be assuming a far greater gen- eral interest, especially since private members will be able to get more opportunities for debate and work as wartime emergencies will not prevail to give the "green light" to the Gov- ernment forces. eRe Pe Canada and World Police There is no more recruiting in the old fashioned manner for Canada's armed forces and this is raising the issue about the probable size or ex- tent of this nation's army, navy and air force, with these future plans be- ing very much in the mind of men both inside and outside Parliament, though departmental estimates in Parliament may settle the issue as defence ministers reveal their needs. However, it is said in the capital that there is little doubt now that Can- ada's armed forces in the immediate future will not sink as low in num- bers as in the pre-war days when there were only about 1700 in the: navy at one time, 4,500 in the army and less than 4,000 in the air force. Our Capital Correspondent Written exclusively for The Stratford Mirror By Dean Wilson. OTTAWA oe Of course, the wartime size of Can- ada's armed forces will be diminished rapidly from its peak figures of over 90,000 for the navy, 480,000 for the army and over 200,000 for the air air force, with the exact extent of such forces being dependent on the probable contribution of Canada to the world's police force or military power of the United Nations amongst other considerations. * * * No Regimentation Following in the wake of changes in the employment situation across Canada as a result of the end of the war, inquiries in Ottawa have em- tention on the part of the authorities in this capital to eliminate all poss- ible regulations or formalities affect- ing labor and its employment so that wartime regimentation may not exist any longer than absolutely essential in the public interest Indeed, it is claimed that Canada, in this respect, was better prepared for the sudden and unexpected end of the Pacific war than many other nations so that the free movement of labor was in a much better position in this country than in many others. * * * Grave Doubt In face of the nation-wide publicity which has been given to plans of cre- ating a very powerful radio station, complete with television and _ fre- quency modulation in Quebec, to- (Continued on page 5).

Indeed, there is a view that the Quebec Radio Bureau Act," establishing a purely provincial authority. Indeed, there is a view that the "Quebec Radio Bur- eau Act," establishing a purely pro- vincial radio system, May be beyond the jurisdiction of the Province of Quebec since in 1932 there was a rul- ing of the Privy Council in London, England, Canada's highest court of justice, that control of radio was en- tirely within the jurisdiction of the Wartime Boards May Continue At least for the present time, a re- port in this capital hints that the im- portant wartime Combined Produc- tion and Resources Board, the Com- bined Raw Materials Board and the Combined Food Board may continue their functions in helping the eco- nomic co-operation of the Govern- ments of Canada, United States and Great Britain so that, even if the war is ended, there may be proper efforts to allocate short supplies of food, machinery, fuel and raw mater- ials for the various United Nations and liberated lands. At the start of 1945, it had been indicated that these Boards would function until Japan had been defeated, but, though this has been accomplished, circum- stances have warranted a continuation of this close economic co-operation between these nations. * *% * Background of Warning A sharp warning has been given in Ottawa that coal supplies in this com- ing winter may be quite short, es- pecially anthracite, and that such Federal Parliament in Ottawa. supplies may be less than at any time since the start of the war in 1939, though the war has been con- cluded. The actual effects of the con- clusion of hostilities may not be ap- parent in coal supplies until the com- ing winter is over, so that the coal picture is a most pessimistic one. How- ever, in this capital, coal dealers of both wholesale and retail trade be- lieve that it is too early to many any such "black" predictions and they hold that almost anything may hap- pen in the next few weeks to brighten the coal picture. * " * Weekly Wind-Up An expert of international repute has declared to the Science Associa- tion of the National Research Council in Ottawa that commercial air lines were now charging about 16 cents a mile for Atlantic crossings, that it was believed possible before long to reduce this cost to 10 cents a mile, probably within the next generation, and that it might evén be as sensation- ally low as 5 cents a mile in the gen- eration afterwards. ... A member who has been extremely prominent in agricultural affaris in Parliament, W. G. Weir, M.P. for Macdonald, Mani- toba, is the new chief government whip in this session of the House of Commons. ... Two distinguished visit- ors to Canada's capital, General Charles de Gaulle and Dr. T. V. Soong, head of the French Government and Premier of China, respectively, have come and gone but their visits have been most impressive, with sidelights being the disclosure behind the scenes that General de Gaulle can now speak excellent English and that China's premier had a most success- ful visit. ... The former private sec- retary to Rt. Hon. R. B. Bennett, now Lord Bennett, when he was Prime Minister of Canada from 1930 to 1935, Roderick K. Finlayson, has been named a special assistant to servative leader, for the first session of the 20th Parliament... There are hints in Ottawa that an increase in the sugar rations cannot be expected for many months in face of the end of the war because sugar seems to be used faster than it is being produced.
