WOLF, DzIEDZIC
 MOST GRATEFUL

Thomaston, Dec. 3-Letters from servicemen in all parts of the country are pouring in to the V. F. W. and American Legion these days from local youths who recently were sent checks as Christmas presents from the Thomaston Serv- icemen's Christmas Cheer Fund. Two thank-you letters from Clock Town boys follow:
 Dec. 1, 1922. Gentlemen:
 Just a note to let you know that I received the Christmas Cheer Fund check you recently sent me. It was greatly appreciated and I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Legion, V. F. ". and townspeople who made it possible. All should be highly praised for their work and their time and effort to biuld up this fund for local men in the service. Things like this make us fellows in the service re- alize that the home town people are back of us 100 per cent and that they are very much interested in making our Christmas and our stay in the service as pleasant as possible.
 Thanking you again for the gift, I remain,

the same size as the one already registered, it will produce less will ing workers, because more will be tied down by homes and children, or will be under less economic urge to earn something to help offset wartime income taxes.
 Theoretically, Mrs. Eaton can do anything with the women that her co-director can do with men. Ac- tually, it would be only in an emergency that she would try to induce wives to take jobs away from their husbands. This raises a serious problem for half of the avail able womanpower is in provinces which have little war industry com pared with Quebec and Ontario. EXPANSION PROBLEMS
 Perhaps because Canda is not an industrial nation to the same extent as the United States, and has had to expand so tremen- dously. some problems trouble some in the States have not been serious here.
 Employers and men workers both have accepted, quite readily that the Dominion can fill her war responsibilities only if women at first hestitated a bit whether factory work might be demeaning, but soon decided it was not. Urged both by patriotism and by an econ~ omic motive stimulated by the bur- den of war taxes. they have re- sponded well to appeals to enter war industry.
 Compulsion, with all the com plications that would arise be- cause of the woman's peculiar po- sition in the scheme of family life. is thought of here as last resort, which probably will prove un- necessary.
 But one cannot talk with those charged with the responsibility without getting a distinct impress sion that if compulsion should prove necessary. there will be compulsion.

Canada To Call More
 Women For War Work
THEY HAVE EQUAL PLACE WITH MEN IN SELECTIVE SERVICE SYSTEM
BY s. BURTON HEATH NEA Service Staff Correspondent

ANEA SNtNhNG CtshAl SOAANppWtAANhN
 Ottawa, Dec. 2-Up here, during the war, man" coes not designate the male of the species. It signifies productive humanity. Therefore manpower. in Canada, refers to anybody who can contribute to fight ing or war production.
 The regulations designed to CO., ordinate Canadian manpower and end the rivalry for men among Army, Navy, Air Force, munitions and supply, civilian industry and supply, do not discriminate in any way between men and women. DISTAFF 'MANPOWER"
 Anything that Selective Service can do with men, except hand them guns with which to defend Canada from invasion. Mrs. Rex Eaton, assistant director in charge of the distaff side, can do with women.
 It is estimated that there now are somewhat more than 1550,000 women employed in Canda in- dustry. That number must be doubled, in the near future. If the armed forces are to be maintained and industry kept going at top speed,
 Already there has been one registration, of women from 20 to 24 who did not hold the Canadian equivalent of Social Security cards. It disclosed 100000 women, of whom 118,000 were unmarried, Of the single women 10000 and of the married women 10000 eX- pressed willingness to take full- time jobs. Another 5000 of the unmarried and 1000 of the mar ried were willing to take time positions.
 These cannot begin 10 satisfy Canadas need for women il in- dustry Some time soon there will have to be another registration. probably of the 25 to 29-year old group. Assuming that this is about

PROSPECT Rudella Q. DslsceIl, Corre- Snondent - Telephone k.0eel

Prospect, Dec, 2-Tnltlal steps lr construction of the new Prospect Congregational ehVgch will be taken in the opening Of a campaign to raise Seo,000, which will start offl- clally today, The building will rec place the stone church, built in 1908, and destroyed by fire Novem. bcr 20, i94i, The congregation has been holding religious services for the past year in Grange hall,
 The estimated cost of the new church, complete with furnishings, is approximately s45,000, However, the sum of $20000 must be raised before definite building activity is started.
 The burning of the stone Church placed an additional burden on the congregation which had just be. gun the construction of the new parsonap at the time of the fire.
 The only Protestant church in the community, the Congregational church is striving to be truly in- elusive church, but its active mem- bership is still relatively small and the financial drain of the immedi- ate past has been unusually heavy. If the Protestant religious needs Of the community are to be cared for adequately in years to come, vision and sacrifice will be required of present church members and gen. erous help is needed from under standing friends.
 Rev. Daryl Williams, who came to Prospect in June, l94l, is chairman of the general church building committee, and is being assisted by about 30 members of the church on the sub-committees.
 The financial campaign will get under way this evenng when the canvassers will gather at the par sonage for final discussions. Dr. John S. Staneslow and Mrs Ber- nice Talmadge Buys are co-chair- men of the finance committee,
 The weekly novena exercises in honor of St, Anthony were con- ducted last evening in St. An- thony's church. Following the de- votional services, a meeting of the young people of the parish was held in the church auditorium.
