NOTICE TO EMPLOYERS' - AND THEIR MALE EMPLOYEES By an order signed on August 15th, 1944, by the under- signed Minister of Labour under authority of National Selective Service Mobilization Regulations; ti a. Every employer is required simi. larly to check the documents hefd by each 'male employee newly engaged between May 1st, 1944, and August 22nd, 1944, and to report to the Regis- trar for his Mobilization Division by August 29th, 1944, on any such em- ployee found not to possess documents as referred ,?to; Any' male employee here referred to, is required by the Regulations to present his documents to his employer for purposes of inspection; 5. ,Penalties are provided for any em- ployer or male employee who fails to comply with these Regulations. 1. Commencing August 22nd, 1944, every employer, is required to cheek the `documents hekby each newly engaged male employee, within 7 days of the employee's engagement, to determine if -- such employee possess documents to show that he is in good standing under National Selective Service Mobilization Regulations (that Is, in relation to the Military. Call-up); Z..Every employer must report on Schedule 9 to the Registrar for his Mobilization Division, concerning any • employee found not to possess docu- ments as refererd to; c• By an earlier order, employers were required to. check the documents held by their male employees, and to report by May lst, 1944, on doubtful cases as well as cases where employees did net possess •documents. The procedure for the present con- tinuing Check, although being notified to employers in "Notice to Employers and their' Male Employees", which is now being mailed; is identical with that set forth in "Employers' Guide", which covered the check made before May lst; 1944. Employers are asked. to remember that they do not report on men who tlo possess die necessary documents—only on those who Jail to present documents for examination, or where there Is doubt that the ,document presented actually proves •good standing, The employers of Canada to.operated very satisfactorily on the first check, made tip to May ;let last.

NITLER'S EUROPEAN FORTRESS CRUMBLING Events of the past three months have shown the Allies to be prepared for the great task they undertook on "D" Day. Hitler's European fortress is fast disintregating, The Allies have been most successful. With the splendid leadership and wonderfully trained men, equipped better than any army in the history of the world, our armies are forging ahead with speed and daring and success unthought of a few months ago, It may be that the leaders foresaw this, but the man in the street has been most agreeably surprised, Our boys are doing a job, a job for which we can never repay them in full or evein small part. We must keep up our efforts in the home front so that they will continue to have the support they still require and so richly <deserve. Let us not forget that they are counting on us just as we are counting on them. And we -cannot slow up one bit until the war is definitely over, • * * * PARISIANS WILD WITH JOY The people of Paris have been lib- erated and their tumultuous demon- stration of gratitude cannot be describ- ed in words. After four years of odious occupation they are delirious with, joy. It was a great day for a great Frenchman when General' de Gaulle rode into Paris, and was greet:. ed by the cheering throng. He has been a symbol of liberation for these French folk who have been in bondage for four years. They all looked for- ward to the day he would return and the hun was broken. General de Gaulle said to them, that they would go into Germany as conquerors. That day we hope is not too far distant. The French nation has in the memory of many lived through two wars and is• now in what may the final stages of the third. They have had most difficult times, but their spirit is ever bright and with good leadership France will once•more take her place among the finer nations of the world. * * * * Remember the Lions Frolic on Labour Day.
