stouffville tribune by- dean wilson with a great migration of work ers bound to move from wartime to peacetime tasks withina relatively brief period due to the wholesale cancellation of war contracts across canada this period of reconversion in ottawa has placed in the hanls of a comparatively small group of men in this capital one of the most difficult problems in the entire country since- important farreach ing plans must be carried out quickly and efficiently if general confusion and unemployment are to beavoided in the coming weeks it must be reported- that the end of the pacific war was sudden and it must be confessed that even experts in ottawarhad believed that it would continue for another year or twof with this view having bedn heard along parliament hill only a coupleof weeks before the actual conclusion of the war therefore it should be clear why there is a cer tain amount of excitement back stage in ottawa at this itime as desperate action is taken to avoid confusion or unemployment even temporarily as an aftermath of re conversion efforts and adjustments of the moment moreover the whole magnitude of the oroblem can be imagined readilywhen it is report ed that over a quarter million of workers across canada have been released from war industries since vze day may 8 and these people must seek employment or be sent to work in private industries then again the great migration involved means other adjustments since canadas remarkable industrial war machine has to be slowed down or stopped from high gear movement only a very short time ago that saw

as usual the letter is heading your way im still in germany and by the looks of things im liable to be here for a few weeks you see my division is the only canadian division in germany at the present and we are supposed to hold the fort until they get the third division organized and full of zombies or short term men readyyto relieve us its almost an unbelievable set up that we are in at present the division is look ing after about 230000 jerries and that works out about 15 jerries for every one of us but we areny worrying very much we fought that big odds when they were arm ed- and now theyie disarmed its cold turkey just let them start anything well turn our guns on them and hitler will have a few more of his pals in hell with him i have charge of an outpostiand every day along comes sixty jerries who work for me dismantling guns search lights etc they have a ser geant in charge i give him our orders and he sees that they are carried out youd laugh to see everyone from an admiral and general down salute us its a stand ing mle that all allied soldieis will be saluted we dont salute back though this is just mere pittance of what germany is going to have to pay eveiy civilian in a lot of the cities must give the best suit of clothes or a dress to the slave workers who have been freed they must give up their radios to the slave workeis all wilting material is given up they must feed them and not only that but they must house them until such times as transpoi tation can be provided to send them home they must des troy all literature flags etc that even smell of the hitler regime curfew has been extended until 10 30 at night- now sothautheycan work a little longer some of the schools have returned under allied supervision and i think the first things they will need is a good solid bunch of straps so that they can spank the spirit of nazism out of them for it really is deep seated and boy do they ever hate us ill give you just an example of what i mean a short vhile ago i was left with a small detail of men as rear party to guard some stores whilst the unit moved up and until such time asthey could send back a couple of trucks to pick it up i noticed a gang of young lads nos ing around the equipment so i told them to leave it dloneidid this twice but on coming back from another supply of goods i found themvthere again theniitook the ring leader by the arm and pretend ed i was going to lock him up thinking that would scare him but it didnt instead he spit in my face by this time i was in the humor to take no more of this nonsense so i took down his pants and- spanked his bottom dollar until 1 couldnt raise my arm he yelledblue mur der but that didnt do any good the spanking had the required effect and no more trouble was experienced in this line these jerries cant take it they shed more crocodile tears in five minutes than i could in ahfetime it was at the same place that i hadthe example deluxe of thisa man and a woman j came driving along in a cart and stopped at the house next to the one in which we were billet ed and started to load a bed and furniture i asked them who gave them permission to i take the stuff away andrshe said-it- waslie sis ters and that it was ok for her to takeit but i wasnt satisfiedand made- them put itback she then started t to cry and- said that they had been bombed out in bremen and no furniture left this made me see red and i politely said to her why you heinie what the hell do t you- think fthe people of london did when your men fwere bombing the devil out of them and they had no place to live never mind the furniture got the heck down the road before i forget that im still a r christian they sure beat it but 1 only wish you could haveiseen the look of hate in their eyes after their crocodile tears had failed r the nonfraternization order is still ineffectand it is a good thing for- there are still men who forget too soon thata lot of their buddies wouldnt
