Canada Nearing
Production Peak

In radio speech to the Domin-
ion of Canada on the third ami
versary of their declaration of
war, (Sept. 10, 1887 Prime Min
lister w. L. Mackenzie King said:
1--WE have led (among the ma
tions of the New World in the
transformation from a peacetime
to a wartime economy.
I'VE have been first in the field
of supply as the arsenal, granary
and shipyard. We have been fore
most in war, taxation and finance;
in the conservation of raw mate
rails; in efforts to prevent profit
eering and initiation; in the con-
troll of the cost of living, and in
the overall employment of man
power"
By the spring of '43, Canada
will reach its peak in trained man
power and armament proSuction.
Everything will be done to main
tain that maximum until victory
be won.

OF Mercy

. There's a desperate need for
modern Florence Nightingales.
Government officials say that the
nursing field, dependent upon wo-
men, presents one of the most
acute shortages of womanpower
in the country.
The Army and Navy expect to
call for 5000 graduate nurses a
month for the next IL months,
and since many will come from
civilian institutions, there will be
increased community needs also.
So if there is a young woman
in your home seeking a career,
here's one that offers an opportun-
ity for real service in the war eff
fort. And the Government is maxi
ing every effort to provide train
ing for young women recruits with
proper qualifications, even to
scholarship tuition and entrance
fees where lack OF money may
stand in the way.

Examining the financial backing

Norman j. Wall, head of the di-
vision of agricultural finance of the
U. S. Department of Agriculture
counselled against the extension of
farm credit which results in bur-

At the same time, he said, the

Only II counties now are taking
part in the program, the governor
said. Lack of funds is a principal
reason for the small number, he as
serted.
If the state takes over the pro.
gram, the governor said, a central
office will be established in Raleigh
and all of the 100 North Carolina
counties will be able to participate.
All details will be handled by mail,
and local welfare boards will investi-
gate and approve persons wishing
to receive benefits of the stamp plan.
The only expense to the state will
be maintenance of the office. The
Federal government has announced
that it will grant franking privil-
eyes to the state for administration
of the program.
A 100000 deposit will be required
but this will be returned, the COVER
nor said.
The governor, after a conference
with Mrs. w. T. Bost, state welfare
commissioner, and Attorney General
Harry Mcmillan, said the state
would probably take over the pro-
gram, unless to do so requires spe-
cial legislation.

Monday, officials announced today.
The announcements were made
simultaneously by City Superintend-
ent r. H. Latham and County Super
intendent T. C. Robertson.
This decision was reached, the
superintendent said, in order to end
the day-by-day doubt in the minds
of children and parents as to the
time of school opening
Since the heavy snowfall and at
tendant slush appears liable to con
tinue for several days, they pointed
out, it was deemed expedient to SET
an opening date that can be carried
out with certainty SO children and
parents can make their plans accord
ingly.
