OTTAWAJIEPORTS That Recent Survey Indicates Many Additional Jobs Will Be Available In Canada After The War Fear of unciiiployincnt in the postwar period would seem un- warranted in the light of the re- port of Dr. G. 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 tills one, is acting Director of Training of the De- partment of Pensions and National Hcaltli, and has been engaged since 1942 in compiling the survey based on opinions of substajitial numbers of people with specialized knowl- edge in widely varied fields and on questionaircs from men and wo- men in tlie Armed Services, and business and professional groups. * * « In the opinion of these thous- ands of Canadians, when peace comes and alter the transition from wartime to peacetime economies, there is i possibility of there being anywhere from a million to a mil- lion 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 fields will be found iit^ service (profes- sional, personal and miscellaneous), vocational and clerical work. * * * The report discusses tlie possi- bility of using present federal es- tablishments for training, including Army trade schools, Xaval training centres and .\ir training schools and special centres like Research Enterprises Limited, Toronto, and No. 1 Wireless School at Mon- treal. Public health experts axrce on the early need of obtaining a large number of trained personnel and •xtension of both curative and nre- ycntive facilities, and based on the possibility of a greatly expanded public health and 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, iiarlicu- larlv in.tjuebcc and the Maritime Provinces." In agriculture, the report indi- cates 1,240 government per.sonncl will be necdeil. Of these, J,()()0 ure In Quebec alone, under the head- ing. "DistriLt Agriculturists." The report explains that tlie Quebec fig- ure means positions correspoiidiiiK to principals of rural elementary agricultural schools. The defnily minister of agriculture for Quebec and his assistants have lioen experi- menting during the last three years with boys' schools staffed by com- petent instructors trained in agri- culture. The three R's and other elementary school subjects, as well as practical agriculture, are taiiglil, and it is suggested that about 1,000 such schools would be desirable in the interests 6t Que- bec rural lif^* We can often blame nervous tension for miserable fceUngs and feari.

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 liis return from Morocco. There was a jolly party â€" a turkey which had been kept carefully in cold storage â€" and Winston pulled crackers with the best of them. tl is as wel that these facts should be kjivwti, 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.

Hitler recently held a BerclilosKaden conference at which he indicated Martin IJormann as his nominee for the Fiiehrership in case anything bappciicd to him- self, writes the London corres- pondent of The Ottawa Journal. \\'hethcr this is a hint that Hitler coiitemi]lates hari-kiri, which he has fre(|iiciUly .'tiiicd would be his r.'-sort ill extremity, anybody is at li!>erty to guess. His selected triuiiivitatc, in the event of his own demise, consists of Hormaiin, as Niimlicr ()iic, with Goeiing and Ilimniler. llornianii'.s reputation is a sinis- ter one. He is rciuitcd, by those who know about him, the most ruthless Nazi of them all. His present task is disciplining (ier- iiiany's dangerous home-front gar- rison of millions of conscripted foreign workers. These are said to total over twelve millions, and they have be»n showing signs of restivcncss. Hormann's plans for liniulling them are as drastic as his reputation suggests. He is 44, an atheist, and is described as "a chiml.y little man with thin black hair." He will indubitably look his bfst on a gallows. THE WAR • WEEK â€" Commentar}^ on Current bvenls Invasion Of Europe Fi'om West Impossible Without Air Supremacy A clearer perspective of the war â€" one which holds out high liopes for the future, but also reveals by how narrow a margin the .\llies may have escaped catastrophe â€" is pro- vided by two reports just published, says the New York Times. One is the review i)resented to the House of Commons by Air Minister Sin- clair in wliich he declares: " There lies before us now clearly attainable the glittering prize of air suprem- acy â€" a talisman that can paralyze German industry and war trans- port." This is a confident, sweep- ing au'l autliorative statement, all the more iijipressive 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 a mass invasion from the west, and the lessons of Sicily and Italy have demonstrated that such an invasion, which must be staged from Britain across the F.nglish Channel, is like- wise impossible without complete domination of the skies. .\t best, the invasion will involve the great- est risks ever faced by any army; it wouH be foolhardy to undertake it before decisive victory is won in the air. Hut until recently the possibility of such an air victory was in itself a matter oi grave doubt. In 1U40 Hitler possessed air superiority, as the .Mlies 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 liritain and instead turned east against Ru.ssia. Decisive Period Now, however. Air Minister Sin- clair assures us that not only .\llied air superiority but Allied air su- premacy is in sight. His statement that the jieriod between the Febru- ary aU'l 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 dptiniisin of the specialist, but Mr. Sinclair is able to back up his opiiinism with a greater display of air-power than was tlKUight i)OS- 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 i>laues on both the (iernian air force and the factories which produce its planes. He is able to back it up with the diminishing power of the (iermaii air force to interfere with these :.s- saults> in i.ut, some of the .Mlied air armadas now roam the (ierman skies without catching u gliiniise of a German plane. He is able to back it up, iin;il!y, with tlie dimin- ishing rate ot Allied losso, :i tren'l HAS INVASION ROLE Rear Admiral Alan Goodrich Kirk, above, will command U. S. Navy task force operatinp; as part of com- bined naval force in the English Channel invasion 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 landings. which is bound to improve further as the Cierman 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. Lend-Lease to Russia The second report is that oi lend- lease officials on shipments to Rus- sia. This is interpreted in Wash- ington to mean that both the Uni- ted States and Cireat Britain strip- ped their own forces in the begin- ning to provMe the hard-pressed Russian armies with that additional equipment that spelled the dif- ference between victory and defeat. These sliipnients, which now exceed $1,000,000,000 in value and include 7,S00 planes, 4,700 tanks and tank destroyers. more than 170,000 trucks, :i.!,000 jeeps and many other items, in addition to the huge sup- l)lie3 sliipped to Russia by Great Britain, may have delayed both the training aii'l the equipment of the .\nierican and Britisli armies, and Uierewith 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 .Xrmies 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 .'Vxis. The fact that Russia is now publishing full details of Allied aid, and that the Russians themselves are aston- isliel at its dimensions, indicates a new appreciation of the .Vllied role in the war whic.i should smooth the path to a more perfect co-oper- ation in the future.

Feeling Sand His Profession Detective story safe crackers who rubbed sandpaper over their fingertips to make them sensitive miKbt like to borrow Glenn Reitzel. Reitzel is a sand feeler by pro- fession. He tests the texture of .sand used to grind and polish plate glass for airplane windscreens at the l.ib;)ey-Owens-l'"ord Glass Com- REG'LAR FELLERS -Lullabye Easy to roll, delighfful â€" fo smoke FINE CUT CIGARETTE TOSACCO pany. He takes samples of sand from the grinding machines and sifts them through a series of screens of varying imeness. It is easy to weigh and measure the coarser sand particles, but those which collect on the bottom screen are too fine to move the pointer on the tiny scales. So he shuts his eyes and sets his finger- tips down on the screen. By feel- ing alone, he says, he counts the grains and notes them on the work sheet. May Fortell Weather Year In Advance Today we make a new weather map every three hours to keep up with the rapid changes in the weat- her, and extend the forecast every si.K hours, John Humphreys points out in The National Geographic Magazine. Twice a week we make a forecast for five days ahead which is eighty-five to ninety per- cent correct the first day but gradually decreases in accuracy to- â- ivard 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 mouths or a year in advance. 'You Can't Be Too Careful Nowadays* Itonths of accumulated resent- ment smouldered between the lines of a letter received by a London girl from a Canadian sailor, excerpt: ".\fter leaving where we were be- fore we left for here, not knowing we were coming here from there we could not tell if we would arrive here or not. Nevertheless, we now arc here and not there." Tlie censor appended a rueful note, saying "you can't be too careful nowadavs." Co-Operation .An incendiary bomb fell through the roof of a house in South Essex during a recent German raid, hirst it started a fire.
