I don‘t think most of us want to be where we were in 1939, as a matter of fact We want a ‘ntm, safer world, and we‘re all going to work with that goal in mind. So, you see, we are marching along the peacetime road with its changing scenes, but they are not bein{,e:oo abrupt. After all, havâ€" ing n at war since 1939, you can‘t drop everything and start right in where you were before. The Labor Department notes that the decrease in requirements for war production has been offset to some extent by an upward trend in the demand for workers for ciâ€" vilian industries. earlier But when 1 say that the extreme labor shortage is passing I do not mean that there are not more un~ filled jobs than there are appliâ€" cants for work. As an example: On August 24, the number of jobs to be filled throughout Canada was a little short of 124,000, a droP of 7,000 duâ€" ring the preceding fortnight. To Hill these vacancies, approximately 53,000 applicants were available, as con_lparetf with 48,000 two weeks manitarian reasons for that. The people who have had the full im pact of war right on their ow? aoorstep are short of the necessi ties of life. We, as citizens of Canâ€" ada, and people of the world, are going to extend a helping hand. One of the very real evidences uf peace is the word of the Labor Department that the extreme labor shortage is passing. These number of persons going through the proâ€" cess of reâ€"assignment from war jobs to peace jobs has been steadily ‘ncreasing. More We‘re ing for course. The changeâ€"over from wartime to peacetime has not been an abâ€" rupt one, but every day there is evidence that Canada is moving slowly â€" but surely to the point where we will be able to look back and view war measures as past hisâ€" Canada‘s Heiping Hand Explaining the purpose of Fire Prevention Week, Mr. Clairmont said that it has been established to direct attention to the devastation wrought by fire. Common sense practices and adequate fire protection equipment will do much to decrease the fire loss record, not only in industry but also on the farms and in town and city homes. Stop fires before they start. Remove all fire hazards NOW. °_ He pointed out that for the first time in six years Fire Prevention Week, October 7th to 13th, will be observed under peacetime conditions, and while fire losses rose during the war years, it is to be recorded with pride that fires serious enough to interfere with our war industries were very rare Fire prevention should not start and stop, but should be considered a year round duty. In 1944 fire losses in Canada amounted to more than 40 million dollars, while in 1939 they were less than 25 million, stated W. L. Clairmont, Dominion Fire Commissioner. Every year we have‘ fire prevention week, usually in October. Farmers and townsfolk, alike, read the newspaper notices, advertiseâ€" ments, and then go to work. Every nook and cranny is scanned for a possible source of fire, and subsequently the cleaning starts and likeâ€" wise finishesâ€"at the end of the prescribed week. Our modern writers and publishers can well afford to be more selective than they have been during the last twenty. years, both for the future of themselves and the general public. On every hand individuals who have considered themselves normal are asking themselves whether the degenerate characters, revolting scenes and foul language are normal, and whether they or the "literaâ€" ture" are normal? When we throw potato or apple peelings in the garbage pail we do not feel that we are depriving our family or guests or misrepresentâ€" ing home life, instead of placing the refuse on the table or in the living room. Yet when reading or attempting toâ€"read some presentâ€"day novels or literature, so called, we wonder why some of them missed the refuse container. Nutrition experts are busy these days working on problems that affect our physical well being, but little or no thought is being given to the type of fare that we as adults, or our children, digest or attempt to digest when reading.

This organization, commonly referred to in official cireles as F.A.O., is the outcome of the allied nations‘ food conference at Hot Springs, Va., in the summer of 1943, at which the Canadian government had representation, inâ€" cluding the president of the Canaâ€" dian Federation of Agriculture. At that conference, an interim comâ€" misgion was set up, headed by L. B. Pearson, now Canadian ambassador ‘at Washington.
