Graduates will becbme pilbts in Hudson squad- rons, defending waters about the Wi- tisb: Isles. Instructors at the school are all experienced pilots from Bri- tain and most of them` have been though the blitz over England and the continent. In talking with thein, they expressed admiration for Canada but also an eagerness no be back in "England helping to defend their homes and families. Empire Air Scheme This was not the only place where we encountered British airmen. More and more 'Canada is being looked to as the ideal training ground for Em- pire fighters. England no longer has adequate space and blitz conditions are not healthy for trainees. We saw more than one train load of young o English lads westward bound in the course of our tour. We met lads froth Australia ,sand New Zealand and many from the United States. 'The Com- " monwealth Air Trailing Plan is still growing and the end is not in sight. At present the plan calls for ninety training schools and the necessary auxiliary establishments, such as re- cruiting centres, command -headquar- ters, -repair and,. equipment depots to a total of 124 units spread across Canada, with nearly, 100 aerodromes and 1,860 buildings. The staff requir- ed for instructors, administration ,and maintenance of the schools is 40,000 men. Cost of the plan was original- ly estimated at $690,000,000, of which Canada's share was to be about $360,- 000,000, but the total was later boost- ed to nearly $1,000,000,000, with Can- . ada's portion about $600,000,000. The .Plan has expanded very rapidly since it was announced in December, 1939, U andit is now turning out thousands of pilots, gunners and observers at about twice the rate originally plan- ned for this time. The Ferry Service Meanwhile the Atlantic Ferry Ser- vice is another twentieth century in- novation which would have seemed incredible a few years ago. We heard a story concerning the Atlantic flight made recently by Hon. C. G. Power, Minister of Defence for Air. It_seems that .he was about 'to leave Scotland one morning on 'his return journey, and in the hotel lobby just prior to leaving he ,:had •a few minutes' con- versation with a casual acquaintance. That evening Mr. Power walked into .the lobby of the Chateau Laurier in Ottawa to meet face to face the same man with whom be had conversed 'n Scotland. The surprise was 'mutual. The incident shows how distance has diminished and that man has, truly taken wing. - Several members of our party had already made the flight to Britain and return and spoke of it quite casually. Another young man, James Spence, press officer 'of Canada House, Lon- don, came over by boat hut was leav- ing at the tour's end to take a bomber eastward across the Atlantic. He was one of the most interested observers on the trip and declared' ,he would have a real story to tell upon ,his re- turn borne.- 'Jimmy' ' Spence w as through the blitz from ' start to finish, serving as an air raid warden in his Own- London district -and it was clear that he retained', many terrible mem- ories. He -said that the bright lights of Canada's cities were the most am- azing phenomenon of his visit.

He remarked that about 3,000 lads were co mhos through the seventeen recruiting cen- tres every two weeks. Canada pro- vides .about 80 per cent. of the stu- dents. The remainder are from Eng- land, Australia and New Zealand. Add to this the. fact that C..a.sadian airplane factories are turning out 40 planes a week and we gain some con- ception of the stupendous undertak- ing in which Canada, is engaged - Ministers Speak In concluding this article we would like to quote from speeches by Fed- eral Cabinet Ministers during our stay in Ottawa. Hon. Mr. Ralston : "We need men, muntions and- money. We espe-'cially• need men and more men. England , wants more Cana- dians.-- The end- of the war is not in sight. Such talk is just wishful -think- ing. We -are just preparing to win it. 'We welcome constructive crilticIsm. It spurs us to greater effort." Hon. Mr. Power: "Recruiting for the R.C.A.F. is going well. We re- quire youths from high 'schools, col- leges and universities. We- need men of special aptitudes: We 'Welcome criticism of any and all kinds. I:et us have it. Without criticism we would fall short of our best efforts." . Hon. Mr. Rowe: "Raw materials are now the problem. More must be diverted from private consumption. Sharp curtailment is required in the non-essential industries. War indus- try is moving along well now after many heartaches and bottlenecks. I want to add that there is- `absolutely no profiteering in the munitionindus- try. We have taken every safeguard to prevent it and the vast majority of Canadian firms are only too anx- ious to •produce at reasonable prices •n this war." As the editors' party ,went from place to place on their tour, observa- tions were frequently heard lament- ing the fact that it required a war to produce such a vast amount of ,new industry and to give employment to, thousands of young men both in, fac- tory, army, air force and navy. The words of General ' Waveld, the noted British leader of Libyan fame, were recalled, when' he said: "What a world we could -make if we would put into peace -time endeavors the ener- gy, self-sacrifice and co-operation that we use in the wastefulness of war."

Departwental c011niient • general stores; large, 'gtels, 'gid soda bars, manufacturers and aw•etioneers, every person and firm in Canada' marnufac tuirng or dealing in food, feeds, live- stock, poultry, yarn, cloth, clothing or footwear must 'secure a' license from the Wartime Prices and- Trade Board' by December 1st 'of this year. .Ater that time, no unlicensed per- son, or firm may buy for resale, han- dle, or self •auyy of those commodities. More than 200,000 businesses are, affected by this vast plan to set up the machinery necessary for policing prices and for securing speedy reports on available supplies in the event of wartime shortage. In the Seaforth area, it 'is expected that over 80 persons and, firms- will soon be dis- playing on the door or window of their place of business the attractive gold ar;vd blue certificate which shows the public that they have` obtained their wartime license. There is no license fee. License ap- plication forms will be distributed through the mail late this month and any businessman who is subject to the licensing order and 'does not receive an application form should apply for one at his post office. At' ,the post office copies of the complete' licens-_ ing order will also be 'available. To facilitate further 'the introduction of the 'licensing plan, the Wartime Pric- es and Trade Board is appointing nine regional licensing directors, one for each province., Individuals or firms who, after consulting the. text of the licensing order, are still • not certain on all points, should commun. icate directly with their Regional Lic- ensing Director. License application forms are easy to complete. At the top are spaces for the filling in of the name, address and official position of the applicant. Beneath these particulars is a lost of. classes of business and commodities named 'in the licensing order. All the applicant- need' do is place a check mark beside his type of business and the kind or kinds of commodities he buys for resale, handles or sells. Applications of persons conducting more than one place of business must be accompanied, by a list showing the address of each establishment. If these places of business carry differ- ent .legal names, separate applications must 'be made out for each under :ts ,,qwn name. "License cards and windowtrans- fers will be supplied to all whose ap- plications are received and accepted,". said Stir.' Murphy, "and the display of this transfer on the window of an es- tablishment will not only serve as an indication that the firm is- -licensed,' but will also show 'the public that the licensee is co-operating with the gov- ernment in its effort -to avoid unnec- essary increases in the cost of liv- ing." The first license identification card will be light blue in -colour and will expire on' March 31, 194-2. It will car- ry the license number . allotted to the applicant in the upper right hand cor- ner. At the left is a, space for the signature- of the holder. This license identification card will be mailed to each licensee along with his window certificate. - Each licensee will receive a number which he will retain _from year to year, provided the name of his firm is' not changed or his license cancel- led by the Board. After December 1, when any of -the commodities named in the Licensing Order are bought for resale, both the seller's and- the buy- er's license numbers must 'be marked on the sales slip, invoice, or other document which reedds the sale. Licenses and wind -ow transfers will be renewed every six months. It will not, however, be necessary for the license -holder to apply for, a new lic- ense 'because he will automatically receive one by mail at the end of ev- ery six-month period. These periods expire on the last day of March and September. Under the Board' -s Licensing Order the following classes of persons, firms and corporations, are required to se- cure a license by December 1, 1941: "Every manufacturer, processor, blender, importer, -exporter, wholesal- er, jobber, retailer, manufacturer's agent, broker, commission merchant, auctioneer, warehouse' operator, cola storage plant operator, co-operative buying organization, co-operative mar- keting or selling organization, produc- er who buys and sells the products of others, drover, huckster, or other person who buys the products of -agri- culture for re -sale, custom tailor, shoe repair shop operator, . public eating place operator, or other dealer, who WIN -DOW LICE NSE CERTIFICATE being issued by the Wartime Pric. enOrd-"I`-1,ade .Eoard-.ta..ai4.person- ,sand firms included in the nation - 'Wide licensing. plan.

License holders will he required to make reports if,amd when required by the Board. They mina also notify the Director of Licensing, ip writing of any change in name, address, own- ership or character of the business within 10 days, of the ,change. Fail- ure to do this, or failure to -perform such other acts as may be required by the Board, will result in the sus- pension of the license. The term "public eating place op- erator" applies not only to restaurant keepers, but also to railvfays, steam- ships, drug store and hotel proprie- tors if food is served in their places of business. Any ,person or firm 'who sells food, even if it is only chocolate bars, is subject to license. • If, for ex- ample, a department or novelty shore operates a cafeteria, lunch counter, soda .bar, or dining room, the store should be listed on its license appli- cation as operating a public eating place, in addition to its classification as a retail merchant.

None of these commodities can be withdrawn from cold storage or a warehouse for resale unless the person making the withdrawal is licensed by the Board and unless the document recording the release carries his license mzuii, ber. All warehouse and cold stai`dge plant operators must, of course, themr selves be licensed. "These licensing requirements are not designed to curtail business Aber - atone," pointed out C. R.
