Education in co-operation with the De- partment of Labour and Department of Agriculture. Already it is encouraging to note twenty-five boys of tbe school have signified their intention of working on farms this summer if their help is required. This plan involves the ngietration "and training of High School boys to meet what is feared will be a great shortage of agri- cultural labour in t~e spring. The training according to tbe s\)ggested plan, is to be · divided into five seetio'ns: Leeturos in tbe school, practical work ;., tbe school, physical training in the school, practieAl work or experience on the farm. Farm home relationship through homo work. It is felt that practical experience is. the moet· ilnportant part of the training and every effort is being made to see that the boya get aa much practical work aa possi- ble before spring, and p~eferably on farms . where they are going to be located for tho summer. Farmeril in the Brooklin, Picker- ing, Whitby areas desiring sueh • help are advised 'to get in touch with J. G .• Fergu- son, phone 213 Brooklin, or 919 at the High School, Whitby, at as early a date as poas!- ble, so that &rrll{'gements can be made for . the boys to go out to the farma on Satur· days and holidays to get some praetleol experience before the rush of tho sprillll' work begins. These boys, eager to go to work and do their bit to help win the war, vary in ages .from 1~ to 18, some with experienee but ' moetly ' Without, and all of them should ' lie eiicoUraged. They 'will be avail&ble from , .·;iho~i·after ~ter until the end of Sapo "tjmiber or po8ilhly·. biter in some eaaea if desired. heartleu >if one air , raid'!' ·.:would appear· over and drop a · bom)J or ~~~~~~~~~~~~§~~M' So we won't even auggest IL · if aucli' a thing were to happen we see a little diffU.Ot attitude around aii!f &bout. to what we find today. · ,·-;wewould aee the end ofthoee who would "-~""ll'< hi ,1t4h.t' for Cuada "if· the ~try were ill. Tbeae·pe_ople, mootiy, are working in fac- tories in nearby towns and . in Oshawa, where ·housing accommOdation is taxed to eapaclty. Many aay, too, that theyprele• to establish homes in Whitby. EnquirY ""' veala that tliere are few, il any, properties avalll.ble. oftls demand wlll increase •harply when the new plant opens near Pickering. Then · apln, recent reports are that British firms plan on moving to Canada and there I• prospect that, If gone after, 1"'e may attract one or two locally,· Thill all sums up to the advisability nf tbe Chamber of Commerce, if it still ex- flits, or some eommittee of the Town Conn- ell discussing the matter-or at least tok· ing a census of present housing available. Oshawa has undertaken to sell city pro- perty at a low rate as a atilnulant to in- creased housing. There may be existing buildings and vacant lots owned by the town of Whitby which nuiy iie ' offered at attractive prices to individuals or a local tyndicate and construction undertaken to 1 ' eet this growing demand. -' ~ J..ri.ere may be existing' buildings which . .. E:. be converted into apartments at com- , " tively little expense. Discussion and . . nterprise are needed. An acute housing · ihortage is doing Whitby a lot of harm. -jm,~ .1986 ~he pqpulation of the town has tCl'ji&Sed by~ thousand, and many mol'! ow citizens would come in If houses were vallable. _. l M~¥or .Rowe, speaking at a Legion ban- tnei ~t November, said that soon tho touncil would have to tackle this problem. The time to tackle It is right now. ~ed.~ We would aee the end of tbe people who growl at war taxes and who . blanch with financial terror at the thourht of a c:Ompull!ory war loon. Beeatise it would suddenly be brought .home'to tbom that either they "got hot" · or, in the word& of tho ganpters, tbv would be "rubbed out." ' Right about now, in these current weeks, we are facing a very dan~rous psychol!llri· cal crisis. There is altogether too muoh of an Idea going around that we are over tho hump and that it is now merely a matter of time untn we win. They do not and, apparMitly, caMot re- alize that the war hasn't, aa yet, really started. The Greeks advance and the Italians retreat and the Mediterranean becomes more of a British lake than an Italian lake, and so they feel that all Ll in tho. bag. They do not see that all this playa into Hitler's hands. It cuta ltoly's power and makes her more and more t~~ubservlent to the Reich. Hitler's forces are maased in the Balkans and will undoubtedly make s drive through to cut off the Greek anny from its home bases. Remember that Hitler has, without doubt, the greatest militory machine on earth. It can be beaten but by only one hundred per cent effort and co-operation on the pert of those who oppose it. No tim• now for hanging back or waiting for fur- ther developments. And any who advocate such a coune. any who hint our efforts should be rather relaxed than strengthened are tl"aitors, either stupid or intentional. In either ease they must be silenced. We are too much given to platitudes at times of stress. A little over s year ago there were certain sayings abroad lp the land. Perhaps you remember them. Sueh things as Germany will be starved out In leas than six months. Germany' cannot operate her huge mechanized army becau .. she . hasn't enough oil. German morale is so low that it wouldn't stand a year ' of war: France's army is the best in the · world. Nothing could ever crack the M&ginot line. France would never surrender. Germany would never bomb London, because we'd bomb Berlin rlgbt back, There were lots of others and possibly you remember them. The passi~~K of a few months has shown that these who said them were wrong- tragically wrong. Thoee who aay today that there is -no need for complete effort are also wr<~~~g and we must see to It that their false coun- sels are not heeded. Beware 01 Thi• Raclr.et - There is a new uncket" being worked in this seetion of o;;tl;rio, a salesman m&k- ing a canvass selling brooms -which he aays are being sold for the benefit ·of the Cana- dian Institute for the Blind, and which """ ciety he claims to represent.

It must be reni~bered that Canada ha• always had unemployable people on her bands, and · they were looked after before the period of the. great depression without government grants of ·any kind. Responsi· bUity of these individuals will now be as· · !umed by the -provincial administrations and tbe municipalities. Expenaioe Paatime Despite all the protests ·that haV<fj been made against it, the Dominion is prejlarlng to go ahead this year with the deeennis.l cen•us. There is time yet to reconsider the decision, and it should be reconsidered. It is difficult to see how the Government can justify such an aetioD. in time! sueh a:-~ these. The taking of the census means n large expenditure, and juat now we have need of every available cent to help along our war.· effort. Also, it involves tbe em- ployment of large numbers of people, and we are faced with an actual shortage of labor for our vital Industries. The census will yield no results commensurate with the expense. The Government, of course, will argu~ that the law calls for a counting of tho people In Canada · every 10 years. That I• no argument at all. The law also says that . there must be a redistribution of the seal• in the House of Commons every 10 years, but, time efter time, amendments have been put through .
