Farm Machinery to UNRRA One of the most pressing needs of the liberated peoples of Europe is farm machinery. Canada has MQ%::I»I{UNRRA'!U: 22,500 tons. s, plus our exports to out old m& will take 30 per cent of all we produce ‘The enough to recharge a discharged or aroaily discharged betrery briove One of the worst enemies of lon’ hp!":?nlife is the continued use o a partially discharged battery. The serious damage occurs Camembert Cheese Camembert cheese was originally the work of Madame Herel, a French farmer‘s wife. She left all the cream in her milk instead of skimming it, as was the local cusâ€" tom. Gradually people all over Normandy began ukin,' for Maâ€" dame Herel‘s cheese. er home town, Camembert, was so pleased with the fame and procpefty she brought to the town that the citiâ€" zens erected a statue to her. The famous cheese is also made in Canâ€" For many years the Italian Genâ€" eral Confederation of Labor has been split into three political groups. Now they have got togeâ€" ther on a program of land reform. They plan to distribute publicly and privately owned unworked or semiâ€"cultivated land amons farm workers, coâ€"operatives, and peaâ€" ant families. The Board of Trustees of the Naâ€" tional Gallery also reports to Parâ€" liament through the Minister of Public Works: & Land Reform in Italy _ _ _ _ This Department also builds and maintains wharves, breakâ€"waters and harbor facilities throughout the Dominion, and operates a teleâ€" graph and telephone system in some of the remote parts of Canada in Cape Breton, B.C., the Northâ€" west Territories and the north shore of the St. Lawrence. 1 The Public Works Dmartment is the civil servants‘ "office houseâ€" keeper‘‘. It is responsible for the maintenance of buildings for housâ€" ing the legislative and executive offices at Ottawa and elsewhere in Canada, for government %‘fl- ments. It builds or rents offices, keeps them clean, moves the partiâ€" tions and generally looks after the 800 governmentâ€"owned buildings and the $3% million worth of rentâ€" Department of Public Works This is where we civilians can help. Many of us see the approachâ€" ing end of the war as an opportune time to "better ourselves". In many cases we think it is a comparatively simple matter to change to another‘ job and often our qualifications fall below the necessary standards. But the true way to add to prestige is to take new ruponsibilitiesâ€"‘ just where we are. Through the years of war we have learned that we have a contribution to make to the country. Many of us have worked long hours and hard; we have learned to take more care because no one was around to check up on us; we have learned that how the other fellow feels about his son who‘s away can affect the way he does his job; and we have learned to carry each other over the tough spots. And, because of the job we have done on the home front, Canada is respected in the world as the fourth industrial power. _ If we can continue to give this lead in peace time as we have in war, the returned men will find a zest, not in demanding rights and privileges, or even new opportunities, but in giving all their enthusiasm, initiative and responsibility, which has been so needed for war, to their civilian jobs and through these jobs to the country. _ The adjustment is more than just a change of routine; it is an adjustment of loyalty and responsibility. Their primary loyalty has been to the branch of the service they served in, their reaponsibility to their friends in it. They have been part of a large organization that was essential to the country. Now they are plain "Mister" again, and it isn‘t quite so easy to see that the country still needs them. PAGE TWO * Thousands of men have spent two and three years in the armed forces have returned to civilian life in the last few months. Many of them are looking for work for the first time and many more are looking for new opportunities in other jobs. After the upheaval of war the old job often isn‘t interesting or exciting enough. They want new fields to conquer. This does not imply that those who advocate socialism for Canada have military ambitions, but it is well to remember that they have said, officially, that a socialist government here would not tolerate any attempt to frustrate the will of that government. results are tallied. But we at home would do well to remember one very vital fact; our men and women in uniform have concluded a long, exhausting, bloody war against a nation governed by a party which came into power under the banner of National Socialism. These service candidates do not necessarily npn;el;t the mgj-ority views of their brothers and sisters who will cast their ballots overseas. What those views are will be shown accurately only after the final Practically all parties have named members of the armed forces among their candidates in the June elections. Many of these are young men who would bring active, vigorous minds and high ideals to their task in the problems of government, and the qualifications of all should be given the fullest consideration by voters before they go to the polls. It is encouraging to note the number of wetssams of the present war who are seeking public office. It would be donlish to deny that this is due in part to the anxiety of various politteal arganizers to have a healthy sprinkling of uniforms on every platform; stil}, ewen the most cynical will admit that a man who has fought for his country has every right to make an attempt to help govern it.
