BRITISH WAR GUESTS
ahliartunoul of Public Welfare)
British children participating in
the mass evacuation movement (as
distinct from those whose parents
are able to pay their transportation
to the homes of relatives in this
country) will be brought to Canada
under the auspices of the Dominion
Government.
The Canadian Government, in turn,
has delegated to the provinces the re-
sponsibility of finding suitable
bonzes for these Child Guests, and
and once such hones are found, the
additional responsibility of ensuring
that the children continue to 1)e prop-
erly eared for during their stay in
this country, a period which 'will pro-
bably be extended fur a shorttime
past the duration of the war.
In Ontario the responsibility for
carrying out this program bus been
vestal in the Department of Public.
Welfare, and through the Department
in the Children's Aid Societies
throughout the Province,
In order to centralize the opera-
tion of the program it has been
deemed advisable to invest full con-
trol of all home -finding imll pUuie-
ments in the local societies which
through many Years of efficient oper-
ation have been able to build up an
experienced organization to investi-
gate and supervise the placing of
children in private homes. In other
words, all children coming to Ontario
for placement in private homes must
pass through the hands of the Child-
ren's Aid Societies. Once placed In
homes, they remain under the super-
vision of this organization while they
continue to reside in Canada,

Your Safeguards in
Accepting Children
Each Child Guest is subject to need,
teal inspection before leaving Great
Britain. Upon arrival in Ontario there
is a brief period or waiting in Toron-
to or other centre -where a further
and more thorough examination will
be made. This examination is carried
out by a staff of doctors experienced
in work among children and is sup'
plemented by a dental survey. revery
care will be taken to ensure that all
Child: Guests placed in private homes
are sound and healthy in every re-
spect. Any child whom the examine,
tion discloses requires- further medi-
cal care will not be placed in a priv-
ate llonle, Should Illness develop
atter the child has been placed, the
host will be expected to provide ord-
inary medical care in the same mate
ser lis ho would if the child were his
own. Under no circumstances, how-
ever, will the Rosi be called upon to
bear the cost of hospitalization or of
major medical eery. This responsibil-
ity continues to rest with the Gone
inion Government. In case of serious
illness, the local Children's Aid Soc-
iety must be immediately notified.
After the child has been placed,
unforeseen circumstances may de•
velop which might render cleeirable
the removal of the child or children
from the home. Such circumstances
would include a death in the fancily
or other considerations affecting the
financial condition of the home. It
must be borne constantly in mind,
however, that in accepting a Child
Guest, the persons providing the
home are undertaking a serious re-
sponsibility and one which should
not be entered upon lightly of with-
out full consideration of all the fac-
tors involved. Small annoyances and
discomforts must be overlooked
if the plan is to succeed, those- who
provide hones must be prepared to
make concessions of a personal nat-
ure in behalf of a most humanitarian
cause.
Concerning Older Persons --The
children for placement range in age
frail) five to sixteen years, inclusive.
Only in very special circumstances
will the program deviate from these
age groups. Some persons have voic-
ed a desire to provide homes for
(tged, sick or crippled friends or vela•
lives nc.w resident. in Great. Britain

DEFENCE TRAINING MAY
BEGIN THIS FALL
Before the middle of September.
50,000 single men between the ages of
21 and 24 are likely to.. be called up
for 40 (lays' compulsory military
training. An unofficial estimate places
the number of men eligible to be call-
ed for Service under the new con-
scription law for home defense, at
81111,050.
Pay will be 11.20 a day at the rate
set for the non-pinmlanent militia. No
allowances will be paid relatives.
The government, it is expected, will
insist on employers paying its em-
ployees wages while they are taking
their forty days' training.
Limitations of the training prog-
ram will restrict the actual summon-
ing of sten to 50000 for the time be-
ing. While official regulations have
not been issued, it is known that the
defense Ministry proposes to cone
11111111' Graining of Canada's civilian
army its soon ics the Canadian Active
service Force troops and the existing
units of the nml-pal'nl orient active 11111•
itis have vacated cramps and released
necessary equipment.
It 1s proposed that skating rinks
and fair grounds which are import-
ant features of almost every comm-
unity in Canada shall become centres
of military training.
It also is proposed that drafts of
conscripts should be so staggered
that the ordinary course of business
should not be interrupted and there is
no intention of drawing skilled arti-
sans from essential war industries.
Such men would serve their military
obligations by one or two nights of
:pare time drill with a local militia
tilt.
Many Planes Needed for Training
The magnitude of the British Ent
pare Air Training Plan is effectively
illustrated in the requirements of
planes for each training unit. These
total 1,516. aeroplanes, divided as
follows: 108 for each of 16 Flying
Training Schools; 27 for each of 21;
elementary training schools; 25 ftr-
eac•h of 1u observer's' schools; 75 10'
each of 10 bombing and gunnery
schools; 4S for each of two
navigation schools.
Tobacco -
Excessive rainfall and poor grow.
ing eouditions during most of the
past 111011th have cause)( considerable
damage to tobacco in Essex County.
Conditions as u whole in Kent Cnan-
ty, which produces about one-half of
the burley crop, have been much bet-
ter during Ole month of June and as
a result the tobacco looks much bet-
ter and has made far more growth
than in Essex County.
Conditions have been different in
the new tobacco belt, particularly in
Norfolk County. Very little rain fell
in the Delhi district during the early
part of the month and very good root
system developed on the tobacco
slants in that district. A hail storm
covered quite a long narrow strip in
Norfolk County on June 26 and caus-
ed damage to more than 506 acres
of tobacco,
Two young ilea were arguing as
to the exact meaning of the words
"vision" and "sight:" The discussion
great heated until one, who main-
tained that the meanings were diff-
erent, remarked: "Well. if they do
mean the same T give in, but my girl
is a vision, and yours Is a sight."
