National • Selective Service Mobilization Regulations: .2. Commencing August 22nd, 1944, every employer is required to check the documents held by each newly engaged male employee,. within 7 days of the employee's engaigement, 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-np); 2. Every employer must report on Schedule 9 to the Registrar for his . Mobilization Division, concerning any employee found not to possess docu- -Bunts 3. Every employer" is re -atiiired simi- larly to check the docnments held by each male employee newly engaged between May lst, 1944, and August 22nd, 1944, and to report to the Regis- trar for his Mobilization Division by Auguit 29th, 1944, on any such em- ployee found not to possess documents as referred to; 4. 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-oy mate 1eleileiloyee Who -fails to comply with these Regulations. 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 not 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 'nailed, is identical with that set forth in "Employers' Guide", whieb. covered the cheek 'made before May ist, 1944. Employers are asked to remember that they do not report on men who do possess the necessary documents—only on those who -fail to present documents for examination, or where there is doubt that the document presented actually proves good ' standing. The enlployers ofCanada co-operated very satisfactorily on the " first cheek, made up to May lst last. This co-operation was (fed4e.* helpittly and is very much appreciated.

Nutrition ig ,definitely tied up with the future of agriculture, and :there is hardly a reader of this column who isn't directly or indirectly affected by this primary industry. Aii expansion of Canadian agricul- ture. is looked for after the war, and it is believed that its greatest inter- ests lie in, the export market. Nutri- tionists emphasize that tiie hood stan- dards of the world, even at the best of times, are far below the level nec- essary for really good health. Even in Canada, which has had one of the highest food standards of any coun- try, consumption of food per person has risen since the war. In respect of some foods, however, it is still well below the desirable nutritional level. Here in this connection are a few pertinent facts. The tote]. Canadian civilian intake of food per person per year was 999.8 pounds en the period 1935-39. It rose to 1,025.8 pounds in 1941 and to 1,045.3 pounds in 1942. In 1943 the -average total intake was 1,- 038 pounds per civilian. The reduc- tion was in part due to a poor vege; table ere() and in part to more gen- eral rationing of food. • It was back in 1936 that the Cana- dian delegation, to the League of Na- tions supported a -resolution urging members of the League to set up Na- tional Nutrition Committees. The Can- adian Council was formed in 1938, fol- lowed by an order -in -council in De- cember, 1942, which more clearly de- fined its membership and functions. Each provincial health department was to provide one representative, the remaining 25 members to include sole =the, economists', agricultural ex- perts, teachers and persons connect- ed with social welfare and labor. It was the function of the Commit- tee "to' consider and make recommen- • dations upon all aspects of nutrition, including investigations, educational efforts, the rules of nutrition in terms Of specific foods, and methods -of, im- proving the nutritional status of the people of, Canada" The .Councel. had a general meeting in Ottawa last May, and a few high- lights of that meeting furnish an in- sight into. theeeivoek bping done =- ostentatiously to ,better the health ief• this Dominion of ours. The -Committee ' on Food Analysis for instance, had been conducting re- search projects in a number of lab- oratories. Its Members had some in- teresting findings to report on the Vitamin C content of vegetables be- fore and after cooking, and after standing on a steam table. Their re- ports showed, that losses of he vita.: min after cooking varied from 54 to 91 per cent., • andthat losses were greater after steaming than . boiling. After two hours on a steam table most of the ,Vitamin C was lost. Analysis - fresh and dehydrated vegetables showed that dehydration destroys a. considerable proportion of Vitamin C, sometimes more than, 50 per cent. Its effect on thiamin, ribo- flavin and. carotene was much lees, in some -crises negligible. ` • The committee on School Lunches recommended • that a Dominion - wide school lunch program be devel- oped, helped by federal grant. Discussion of Canada's 'FoOd Rules resulted in a decision to revise them. When the Food Rules were drawn up before it was decided 'to recognize the ;existence of war shortages in sup- ply andmodifythe ruleaccordingly. This Year, hewever, the revised rules Will be based on known nutritional needs rather than upon expediency., Anumber of resolutions were pass- ed concerning. Canada Approved Flours and Bfiead. We quote them because bread is one of the most itie Portant foods: The Canadian Council of Nutri- tion reaffirms its vie* that higher extraction of wheat, such as used to make -Canada Approved White Flour, is a proper step towards assisting the public in the selec- • tion and use of foods for adequate nutrition. • The Canadian Council, of Nutri- tion strongly recommend e that all white bread offered' for sale, -or of- fered for use in public eating plac- es in Canada, shall be made With Vitamin B White Flour. (Canada Approved), and that the bread Made therefrom shall sconforta to the standard of vitamin B White 'Bread (Canada ApproVed).' • The Canadian Conned on Nutri: tion urges that eVerer elebourage- ment be given to enekiieg Canada Approved White Flot11- assailable queeighout the country for helise- hold ime.

It has ' new been recognized that the nutritional necessities Of the peos ple of Canada is a subject that should be explored more energetically and more fully if we are to obtain in our future citizens the maximum of vigor, mental alertness and physical well- being that is possible. The women of Canada have Shown in the past two years that they are ready and willing to co-operatein the matter of nutrition, and many Local Councils of Women, Women's Insti- tutes, and other organizations of simi- lar nature, have at one time or an- other, discussed this subject on the basis of literature and =formation eminating from the 'Canadian Coun- cil on Nutrition. Homemakers realize its importance to the future of the nation. Who Pays And Why (Winnipeg Free Press) In his broadcast speech . on August 9th, Premier "George Drew of, Ontario -argued, as a central, point of his •criticism' of the federal family allow- ances measure, that it "takes money from the pockets of the people of Ontario feir the special advantage of the province 'of Quebec." He said fur- ther that: "Millions of dollars will go to Quebec under this measure." Since these assertions form the basic argument in Mr. Drew.'s deci- sion to marshal all the strength of Ontario to prevent, if possible, the family 'allowances scheme from going into effect, they have been under close scrutiny at Ottawa. The fight opened by Mr. Drew will undoubtedly become one of the highlights of po- litical controversy in Canada until the deadline for starting nayment, of family allowances on July 1, 1945. , ' • It will lead into tangled constitu- tional problems, and into. the avenues of Canadian life explored fully by the Rowell-Sirois royal commission on Dominion -Provincial relations just be- fore the present war. More important even than whether the Drew govern- ment can successfully block the fed- eral family allowances scheme, will be the question whether Ontario and Quebec and possibly British Colum- bia, the "wealthy" provinces, will col laborate in the establishment of na- tional minimums of social welfare. The first discovery nutde on exam- ination of Mr. Drew's contention that "Ontario dollars" will serve the ape- Cial advantage of Quebec under the family allowances -scheme, is that it Is not Quebec, but the Prairie prov- inces and the Max -Wine provinces Which suffer under an acute dispar- ity between their . taxation sources and their remfireroents for publis ser- vices. A tabulation of 1942-43 collec- tions of income tax, exCess profits tax and succession duties, shows that Quebec's proportionate share of fam- ily allowances is virtually the same as • its proportionate contributi6n to these tax yields. , The province of Ontario, where •50.e per cent. of these direct teethe are collected, would receive 32 per eent. of family allowance payment , 110,re 4$41p).1.Fxs, it4*.cpifuliOta44. that 4F;40,01,4,, OrrAr 044, 43,1140101Y_PPOT-, M4v,erY-40:47/, et;.t„, e , " E01,4k,1.4elt et' the. -1444, jelr smau ek4' .90014.00.n in six 'per •vent.' 4-4,101140.' rt0-144111ein,LU #gfres '' 0110494a Of federal -Cealik.00S,Sets prolite, tpces- sed sue, ceelshpm., ere'etaken •front the 190 reP,Oi' lb,0311131(4ter oilaAtmr, tiewlerlaPailY 4110WaIrea are the Of- fheial estimitea" gO(On't1 etpayams, papint Direet Talce0 441,ewallePg 1Wai1tizess a,. 51 9 3.7% $2.§.0 1019 QUebec 499,0 31:1 8040 33 ciAt4iie 50.; 80.0 az Preir es.... 87.0 e.3 50.0 20' 0. 115.0 8.3' 15.0 6 Yukon, etc1.0 .2 Totale $1,378.0 100.0 $25.0.6 The e'reriChisikin, fesetn :this talrela- tion is that the surplup o. taxatiOn sources drawn fee= Ontario would support the farellY, allowance meas- ure, not in Quebee, .but in the Prairie previeees and in the Maritimes.

PSI4()T GUILD' A'VICE TO THE IEGINNER - st To assure clear, itharp-pictures like this one you -should know the first simple essentials of picture taking WWITH seyerallundred thousand Vmen and Women in the Service there must be thousands -of cameras left at home by these people and now available to an equal number of rel- atives and friends who never before have taken snapshatsePor the bene- fit of those to whom photography is new, here are some essentials of snapshooting that should help in getting better snapphots to send to those who are away from Jenne. The first of these essentials is' a practical knowledge of how your camera works. That doesn't mean that you should Understand the op- tical theories on which your lens is built, or how the 'Shutter is . con- structed—but you should know how to operate your camera efficiently. Many photographic mistakes could be avoided if beginners would take the time to practice focusing, hold- ing their cameras straight and steady When clicking the shutter, -and to become familiar with exposure cal- culations. Focusing,- of- course, lis tremen- dously important—lint easy to learn. • Some box cameras, for •instance, and other inexpensive types, don't require focusing because they have what is known as universal focue. That means that any subject which is eight or more feet from the lens will be in focus. So if you want to get a "close-up" of your subject you should lways check the camera -to - subject distance carefully because if you get closer than your lens equipment permits, you won't get sharp, clear pictures. But perhaps you have one of the more recent types of box cameras which have what he known as "di- vided focus." That is the kind with which, by flipping a little lever, you can focus your camera for picture taking either at five -to -ten feet ,or lot objects -ten feet and •beyond. With that ype 'of' 'Mefferd:, just at with the more, eipensive cameras, all yens need do is measure orejudge the distance of your subject from the eaxnera, and set the focusing leYer eccoediagly, , Another phrittigraphie easeetiat is correct exposure. With inexpensive box and folding -carnet,* haiiiii only one shutter speed, that is well 'taken care of an long as you take enap- shots outdoors in the sun; Bit with 'Cameras Which Imes a nuniber of Shutter speeds and lens apertures to choose from it is good picture -taking insurance to have an inexpensive exposure guide for determining cor- rect exposure. Finally, among the essentials of photography- come -the so-called "little" points which mean better Pictures. Far instance,- don't jab at the shutter release lever or button of your camera when you take plc - tures. Hold,your camera steady and gently squeeze or push the shutter release. Then, too, you must hold your camera level. If you can't get ' all af your subject in your View- finder without tilting, move, back - ee: farther. So here are your "essentials": Foci's carefully on your subject, ex- pose correctly, and hold your camera still and level when you make an exposure. Do this and you are on the road to better pictures. John van Guilder A QUICK DRINK UNDER FIRE .***arkontek.reseteasonkmmenven...e.m.e.......*wir* • ' 2- 2; '4; A-• 'See .1.1''S,:e11";11,S,eeee 4 Irt A
