FREE SOLDIERS
FOR FARM WORK
Hon. Humphrey Mitchell,, Min-
ister of Labour, today: announced
that . onJuly 24th li ad , tele:
graphed the Premiers of the Pro-
vinces, asking cooperation with
the Dominion in the plan to place
soldier* "from 'Army, units- stat-
ioned in Canada, at seasonal farm
work: The plan has been worked
out in co-operation With Hon. J.
L. ' Ralston; Minister of National
Defence.
Under the plan it is proposed
that :farmers Will be invited to
.advise.. the :gover..nments-. of their -
.
labor requirements,' These re-
/- ---eu ceTr ei nth will be notified to i,'
' Army, and District Officers Com
,manding will direct army per-
sonnel to ' proceed to . the farms
to fill the vacancies. While the
soldiers will„ remain under mil-
itary discipline and, orders, they
will work for the farmers ••in the
same manner s civilian farm
workers. •
,.Rates of pay are . being . fixed,
at which the' farmer will engage
the ' soldier's services;. but the'
'wages , will not be paid by the
tarmerdirectly to the soldier. The
soldier-will-continue—tor. aw--h-'
regular army pay.; and any allow-
ance tie his dependents will also
continue,., but .after his return to
his ui it,. the man will be •.given
any' additional money which he
may have earned, over and above
army pay and allowances. The
employing farmer, on the other
hand, will • be required to; pay
:in full the wages, which the man
earned, to agents representing. the
'.governments -of the provinces and
the Dominion,' and the money col-
lected will be. 'turhed over • to
army paymasters. It is expected
that the €armer will be required
to guarantee:full wages. for the'
period during which a.rrianis en-
gaged; regardless of weather or
other working conditions.
-----TFie new plan :does not, inter-
fere with the previous -system .of
men in the 'army being given
compassionate 'leave : to : return
tern.porarily''to .their own farms
.I -to. _those : of•: relatives. Applica-_
tions made by soldiers for this
compassionate leave will. still be
considered by army of eld-ls. '"'

proportion _of it has . been deliv-
ered in the early part of the year:.
As a result of this, it . is.Ipossible -
to allow the special sugar cou=

"Distribution of sugar for home
canning had to be planned toward
•the end .of last year and early'
in' this year. At that time it' was.
impossible to forecast the actual
dates of delivery of sugar to this

"The 'general. intention . of 'Sel-
eetive Service Regulations' as: ap-:
plying 'to teachers", according to,
Mr: A. J. Schnurr, manager of
the ;local Employment and Sel-
ective ,Service office, "is td retain
teachers. at 'their• profession dur-
ing the school 'year, and to make
thebest possible use of ,their
services during vacation".
Mr: Schnurr said there might
be some misunderstanding a-
mong teachers as. to their` status
under Selective Service Civilian
Regulations. He', explained 'this
statue in this way:
ley
Order, in Council of June:
17, •1943, . teachers were brought
under - Selective. Service.. Previ-
ously they had been exempt in
:so. far as. .employment at,'their
profession -is concerned. Now 'a
teacher must continue at the
teaching profession during the
school year, andcan only., leave
to take other full• -time employ-
ment, except 'in the agricultural:
industry, under permit from - Sel-
ective Service: It is not the in-
tention to authorize teachers'' to
leave the, profession, :where thein
.Services ' as teachers are needed.
Teachers may still join, the arm-
ed forces without permit, or they
mayengage at part-time employ -
merit during the school year,, so
long as it does not interfere with"
their -teaching hours. During va-
cation teachers are encouraged
to take other high priority work,
but generally speaking and apart
from einployrnent in agriculture,
teachers must 'secure Selective
Service" permits before et'iterin
employment. Teachers: will not
require :permits to engage at wore
in their 'own profession.
The new regulation defines a
teacher as any person who teach-
es or instructs in a school; . col-
lege or university not carried oh.
for gain. .
