Douglas, the founder of this economic doet- rine, Mr, Aberhart became a con- vert overnight,. He returned to Calgary and began preaching the new economic theories in his Sunday afternoon broadcasts. This was at the height of the depres- sion and Mr. Aberhart hada remark- able response. Letters poured in to him. Clubs to study Social Credit were formed all over Alberta, Mr. 'Aberhart continued to preach the ' new doctrine until it became almost a religion. Then cane the election of 1935. The U.F.A. party was in pow- er. It had been in office for ten years. Nothing could stop the sweep of the new party, Candidates were nominated with great enthusiasts in almost every Alberta riding, It was a combined religious and economic crusade. Its theme song at meetings all over Alberta was that grand old hymn: "0 God our help in ages past, our hope for years to come." When the elections were over the U.F.A. had been wiped out. It had not a seat left. Out of a house of 63 the Social Credit party had carried 56. The Liberal party was 'left with five members and the, Conservatives with two, Mr. Aberhart had not been a can- didate in the election. But he could not refuse the pressure to become premier. He promised in 1935 that every man or woman in the province would receive a monthly dividend of $25 under Social Credit. He was nev- er able to carry this into effect. However, it never seemed to hurt him politically. He apparently gave the. province effective government and the people never lost their faith in him. They believed in his honesty, in his religious conviction and his sincerity. ' er s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas and visited Mrs, J Krug and Mr, and i Knox on Sunday. Mrs, F.

They are classed as 'non-combatants and don't wear parachutes. Even if they did, they couldn't use thein, for it is their duty to stay with their patients "to the bitter end," An air ambulance is small. Behind the pilot and observer there is just room for two stretchers. The nurse sits beside them on a wooden box next to the oxygen apparatus. She carries a $rst,aid kit and a small case of surgical instruments, ready to per. form a minor operation if necessary. Part of the nurse's job is to keep the patients amused. Pilots are von- sidered the most difficult to keep happy, beoauae "they hate having to take a back seat." When a man charged with being intoxicated told the judge that he had not purchased the liquor, but that a Scotolnnan had given it to him, he was sentenced to thirty days for perjury. Want and For Sale Ads, 1 week 26e. NATIONAL SERVICE SELECTIVE Freedom's Fires Must Be Fed Our COAL! CANADIANS must dig and deliver coal that we may sail convoys, power vital war plants, keep our railroads rolling, preserve the nation's health! The coal mining industry—miners and management alike— have done wonders to provide coal, but they need help. More workers must be provided, or we falter—possibly fail—in this grim hour. Nature has been generous but we must help ourselves. Our mines are rich, but undermanned. By Proclamation, His Excellency the Governor General in Council has declared that labour supply for coal mines ranks as a national emergency. Further, in order to provide man- power for coal, the Governor in Council has issued an Order in Council aimed at swelling the flow of coal from mine to firepot. This Order is of vital interest to everyone in Canada. Every Canadian should read and study its provisions, to see whether it demands any action on his part: 1 EVERY EMPLOYER, REGARDLESS OF WS INDUSTRY, must advise his employees of these Regulations, and he must assist in discovering whether any of his employees have had previ- ous experience as coal mine workers. 2 EVERY EMPLOYEE, REGARDLESS OF HIS INDUSTRY, who has had previous experience as a coal mine worker, must report that fact to his employer not later than Tuesday, May 25th, 1943. 3 A "COAL MINE WORKER" FOR THESE PURPOSES is anyone who, since January lst, 1935, has worked tinder provincial certificate or license is or around a coal mine, or who, since the same date, has been em- ployed for a total of at least 24 months in the production of coal (except at office work). 4 EVERY EMPLOYER, NOT A COAL MINE OPERATOR, must report in writing to a Selective Service Officer not later than Tuesday, June 1st, 1943, full details on any of his employees who are ex -coal mine workers. M SELECTIVE SERVICE OFFICERS !D ARE AUTHORIZED to require ex -coal mine workers to report for interview and to accept work at a coal mine. 6 SELECTIVE SERVICE OFFICERS MAY REQUIRE any man in any em- ployment, if subject to Mobilization Regulations but rejected for Military Training, and certain others excused from Military Training, to accept em- ployment at a coal mine. ley NO COAL MINE OPERATOR may terminate the services of any coal mine worker without written permission from a Selective Service Officer. S NO COAL MINE WORKER may leave employment at a coal ,mine without Written -permission from a Selective Service Officer. 9 EVERY EX -COAL MINE WORKER, returning to the industry under these Regulations, will be paid wages at the established rate for the job at which he is placed; and the Government will pay wages of 40 cents an hour, '8 hours a day and 48 hours a week, to any ex -coal mine worker 'required to Leave his present employment under these provisions, but not plated im- mediately at coal mining. 1AA BOARD ALLOWANCE of not more than $7.50 a .week may be paid an ex -coal mine worker now returning to a coal mine, if required to live away from the residence of his dependents. 1 1 PRESENT AND FUTURE COAL MINE WORKERS will be granted postpone- ment from Military Training to February 1st, 1944, by virtue of their occupation; and no coal mine worker will be accepted for voluntary enlist- ment in the Armed Forces of Canada, prior to February 1st, 1944, except under permit to enlist from a Selective Service Officer. NO EMPLOYER IN CANADA, EX- CEPT A COAL MINE OPERATOR,, may solicit for employment orhire any ex -coal mine worker. REGARDLESS OF ANY DOMINION OR PROVINCIAL LAW, male persona 511058t 16 years old may be employed as coal mine workers, and female per- sons at least 18 years old may be em- ployed as surface coal mine workers. 14 WAR EMERGENCY TRAINING CLASSES will be available for training men as coal mine workers. 12 13 Such is the substance of the new regulations. Full details may be had at any Employment and Selective Service Office. If these previsions require action on your part, you are urged in the national interest to act immediately. Severe penalties are provided for non-compliance, but the Government relies on they cooperation of the citizens of Canada to make protecuslon unnecessary by prompt action as required. This is a grave emergency. Assistifyou can. EAP AR IIUMPHREY MITC1IELL Minister of Labour O LAB UR A. MacNAMARA Director, National Selective SSermlce
