PLAN TO DELAY
SCHOOL OPENING
TILL AFTER HARVEST
Students Will Be Given Op-
portunity To Work
on 'Farms.
SHORTAGE OF HELP
Accardinug to announcement made
this week, Ontario secondary schools
will not reopen until October 1st, and
primary schools on September 15th.
Local boards, have, however, not as
yet received notice of the change in
opening dates.
The reason for the holdup extension
is explained in a letter from Hon. N.
O. Hipel, Minister of Labour, 'who
writes:
"A. serious emergency exists in On-
tario at the present time, with re-
•$pe.et to a shortage ,of farm labour.
Due to enlistments, the speeding up
=of--utdustrial production, and 'because
of other factors existing as a result
Of the war, the Ontario Government
finds it necessary to appeal to tlxe
public for asedstance in' harvesting
the 1940 crop. '
"Experienced terra help is not
available in sufficienit ,griantities to
assist appreciably.
"To ,meet this problem--bhe Ontario
Government has decided to delay the
an -opening of primary schools until
iaeptemsber 15th, . and of secondary
schoole until October lst, thereby
snaking available •for farm help thou-
sands of teen -aged boys. In the rural
areas this will permit the boys to
help - on their own farms; in urban
Ontario it will release for farm 'help
many, youths, who, while inexperienc-
ed, are,anxious and fulling to aid in
this emergency.
"An organization has been estab-
lished to enlist these young- :people
in this patriotic effort. Ali farmers
needing help, and all yloung people
desiring to volunteer, are requested
to communicate- •with the Depaz'tment
of Labour,- -.Queen's Park, Toronto.
The younger 'boys• can perform a use-
ful service in many .phases of farm
activity", while the older ones should,
to a certain, •extent, be able to take
the Places of young. men- who have
deft the farms to serve their country,
• or have taken on other duties in con-
nection with Canada's war effort.
"Full details of the scheme will
shortly be available. In the mean-
time, we are requeating 'your active
to -operation in bringing this pro-
gram to the attention of the .public."

NOTES,.
The chairmen of the Canadian Red

leiter` from . the 1•'fonourable W. •L.
Mackenzie King in reply to one of
his: .
"I have read with great interest
your letter of -Jure 24th, telling of
the magnificent efforts of the Cana-
dian Red Cross Society in the days
which have succeeded the invasion of
Holland. I should like to express, on
behalf of my colleagues and myself,
our sincere thank; for the extent and
the promptitude of the assistance
which your society has rendered to
suffering humanity. and our best of
wishes for the successful continua-
tion of your splendid services."

Owing to" the u.neepected large in-
crease of shipxlenms ,overseas during
May, during which month 45,581. cub-
ic feet of space was "used, Red Cress
headquarters again approached the
Ministry of Shipping;.regarding rates.
It was agreed, that for the present, at
least, the Ministry will 'continue to
carry 12,060 cubic feet per month free
of charge and charge 20 cents per
cubic, foot for space occupied over
and above this in any one calendar
month. This was' considered ... to be
a most satisfactory arrangement, in
view of the fact that the current rate
is still 75' cents her cubic • foot - and
liable to be increased nt any time.

There are a number of strange fac-

ly, they came at long intervals, for
instance in 1896, . 1914 and tle1n, in
1938..•t•TL'his time, however, there as
only two years separating the last
outbreak and '•the present.' Another.
thing is that tee outbreak usually oc-

they feed only on green grain crops.
