"Anyone who °rushes around trying to acquire a hoard of this or that may be rated, in my opinion, as a fifth rate citizen. I am sure no right-thinking Canadian seriously means to let greed over-rule his decent instincts," "It is the duty of all citizens in this period of emergency to act honorable and refrain from trying to steal an advantage over others," LISTING OF WOMEN STARTS SEPT. 14 The registration of Canadian wom- en will begin on Sept. 14th., with the twenty to twenty-four-old age groups, Assistant Selective Service Director, Mrs. Rex. Eaton, at Ottawa, announ- ced. The objective of the new inventory of Canada's Women power, Mrs. Eat- on told the representatives of twenty- one' national women's organizations will be to direct single women into es- sential war industries rather than to have employers build up huge staffs of maarried women with small children. "The registration will show us ex- actly how many single women we have available to meet the increasing short- ages of workers in our war industries." Mrs. Eaton said "Then we will have a pool of single workers from which to draw when an employer asks for ad- ditional staff, and single women can be supplied immediately." Mrs. Eaton announced to the group that "we shall, as far as possible, keep married women with children out of employment." Mrs. Eaton said married women up until now has been allowed to drift in- to employment in war industries be- cause no known reservoir of single workers existed, and employment ad- vertisements had stated no preference. Selective Service officials will re- strict employment permits to the groups of single women or married women without children, she revealed. The registration of women will be comptilsory, but they will not be com- pelled to take jobs, she said. "Nat- ional Selective Service will be purely detective," Mrs. Eaton said. Women who were working in in- surable occupations this spring are al- ready required to report again, she continued. • BELMORE There were no services in the Un- ited church on Sunday.
