Stresses Importance of the Reserve Army placing emphasis on the importance of the Reserve Army. The first role of a reserve unit, if it has a battalion mobilized, is to provide recruits as wanted to fill up the ranks of that battalion. Its second role is to do its share in providing the number of recruits asked for or allotted to its particular district. The third role is to keep the unit in as good condition as possible so that if the time does come when it is needed as a unit it may be mobilized. It is not a spectacular JjOb. the Minister said. "It means hard work,., but no men in a reserve unit need get discouraged. There are men who are training now and have been for 18 months and do not know whoâ€" ther, they will ever get overseas, but they believe that this job is bigger than the individual and bigger than the battalion, and they will do what they are told is best in order that our cause may be successful." Making reference to the spirit of the British in face of bombâ€" ings day and night, the Minister said, "I think we can take it in this counâ€" try if it comes to bearing the grimness and drabness of the absence of active warfare. I think we can take it in it is country ~if it ~comes~to~paying ~taxes. There is no question about the penâ€" ple being pbrepared to do anything they are asked so long as it will help to win the war." During the past week there were only four births registered, the followâ€" ing being the registrations:â€" Recruiting in the present war has none of the glamour and fanfare of the days of 1914â€"1918 when battalions wer» mobilized in a few days, because the situation overseas has assumed up to the present a static position, the Minister of National Defence stated in the House of Commons recently, Bornâ€"on February 22nd, 1941, to Mr. ang Mrs. Leo Forget, of 413 Cedar street southâ€"a son.

Gilmore Smith, associate minister of Timmins United Church, in his adâ€" dress to the Kiwanis luncheon on Monday, was that the Sirois Report was one of the best histories of Canâ€" ada ever gathered together. PFrequent quotations from the report and other references during his address fully justified the statement. In. its scope andq thorough grasp of the situation the speaker suggested that it might be compared with the Durham report of 1837, which formed the basis for fuâ€" ture planning for Dominion policy. In a brief address of thirty minutes, Mr. smith said. it would be impossible to cover more, a few small parts of the Sirois Report. Originally a 20â€"volting report, it has been condensed into three volumes, but even the latter made a wide field for study. Mr. Smith thought that it would fully repay any Canadian for any time spent in reading and considering the Report. For tht peri« od from 1867 to 1937 the Report gave a very complete picture of Canada and Canadians. Briefly, but very ably Rev. Mr. Smith reviewed conditions in this country previous to 1867â€"the fear of the USA., the heavy provincial debt, )thv conflict of opinion on the powers that should be vested in provinces and states. Canada‘s constitution placed most powers in the Dominion which delegated certain powers to the broâ€" vines. This was exactly the contrary ous industrial sion from 1873 of the railway the wheat bocg resulting expal depression of iclt adian chan conditions. Ww e e BCE complete picture of conditions was essential before planning the changes that may be necessary. The Sirois Reâ€" port presented such a picture, and reâ€" commended soveral changes, amons these being:â€" (1) Dominion to take over unemâ€" (2) Dominion to take over provincial debts now found beyond power of proâ€" vinces to carry. (3) Provinces to relinquish to Dominâ€" ion all income taxation and success10n 1011 All INnCOIIMIC LdAAdbLIU}L WiiU i is duties. (4) Provinces to surrender provincial subsidies granted in past. (5) Dominion to give national adâ€" justment grants to permit an average standard service to the people of all provinces. ployment as The speaker thought the necessary changes in Canada‘s constitution could not be much longer delayed. He thought the changes might well be done before postâ€"war adjustments addâ€" ed to the difficulty,. Rev. Mr. Smith was introduced by Arch. Gillies, and thanked for his very interesting address by Art Brown.
