Seventeen “mobile” units through-’ out Canada operate from Recruit-’ ing Centres and regularly visit c-it- ies and towns in the district for the purpose of interviewing those who are interested in joining the R. n A. F. Interviewing officers will be in the lower room of the Library, Exeter* Monday, Jan, 20, from 12 noon till 8 P.m. Two chief factors prompted this move. The first of these was to obtain a greatly increased number of potential airmen and skilled tradesmen; the other was to elim­ inate the necessity of prospective recruits travelling long distances to an R.C.A.F, Recruiting Centre. Gearing of the Air Training- Centres of Canada to high speed made it necessary to have on file a greatly augmented number of prospective recruits. These are divided into two classes: (1) Air Crew, including Pilots and Observers, Air Gunners and Wireless Operators, (2) Tradesmen, Engine Mechanics, anics, Instrument Mechanics, Cooks* and other skilled tradesmen. Age limit requirements for Pilots are 18 to 30 inclusive, cants tion. ners, High ceptahle in the trades but not for Air Crews at the present time. Age limit for tradesmen is 18 to 45 years, and qualifications are High School entrance, and at least a working knowledge df the trade. All applicants presenting them­ selves for enlistment should be able to produce proof of age, proof of education, and two letters of re­ ference, from responsible parties, addressed to the.R.C.A.F. Married applicants should have their Mar- ' ria-ge Certificate and proof of age of all children. including Aero­ Airframe Mech- Makers, Radio Fabric Workers THURSDAY, FRIDAY, SATURDAY Two Features Live”“A A British feature Comedy starring MARGARET LOCKWOOD and England’s popular comedian, GEORGE ROBEY This picture had a 7-week run in Toronto “The Ranger and the Lady’ with ROY ROGERS and GEORGE (GABBY) HAYES Patronize British Pictures MONDAY, TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY W“The Doctor Takes a Wife’ a feature comedy starring LORETTA YOUNG and RAY MILLAND added “ “COMMUNITY SING” “Mr. Clyde Goes to Broadway” an ANDY CLYDE COMEDY cember recorded by reau of Statistics. 6 Index numbers commodity prices, on equals 100, rose from -84,2 for the week ended December 27 to 84,3 for week, ended January 3.
