It is expected enrolment will total more than 400. Realizing the profession is ex- panding in Canada, many former servicemen and women have regis- tered for the courses at the Mari- time School of Social Work, Hali- fax, and at the schools in the Uni- versities of Montreal, Laval, McGill, 'Toronto, Manitoba and British Col- umbia. In Toronto 115 persons have sign- ed up, compared with 63 last year. Forty per cent of the new students are men, among them several for- mer high-ranking officers: in the armed services.

"Adequately trained social wdrk- ers are one of our best means of protecting Canada's investment in family allowances," Health Minis ter Claxton said at the time. In' 1945 three-month summer courses were opened at the Univer- sity of Toronto and the University of British Columbia in an effort to alleviate the shortage through training group work aides and case aides. "Salaries have markedly improv- ed," said Dr. Cassidy. "At the pre- sent time a qualified social worker may earn anywhere from $2,000 to $3,000 a year. Executive and ad- ministrative posts offer salaries up to $5,000 and sometimes above that." At present the department of Veterans Affairs has listed openings for a director of social services at $4,500, and two administrative as- sistants and two social service field consultants at $3,600. And for the person interested in travelling the Canadian Red Cross and the U.N.R.R.A. are looking for social service personnel. The harassed husband was relat- ing details of his wife's extra- vagance, "Ah, well, you know," consoled the other "life is like a game of chess. In your case, it's cheque-- cheque--cheque--eh?" "No just the contrary -- pawn -- pawn--pawn." Princess Elizabeth Broadcasts to Youth "I am very pléased to send this message to the Canadian Junior Red Cross, of which I am proud to be President. Although I am speak- ing to you from so far away, from bomb-scarred Buckingham Palace, I feel that I know you and your country quite well, having heard so much about it from my father and mother, and from Canadians in the forces when they came over here to fight for the common cause. I was very glad to know the won- derful work that you have been do- ing on behalf of other people all over the world, and I think that you can look back on your contributions with a sense of great achievement. It is the more impressive to know that these unselfish efforts were never confined by any national dary. The helping hand of some girl in Nova Scotia meant food for hungry children in Europe; some boy in Quebec made it possible to send milk to famine-stricken areas of India; while yet another from Al- berta enabled prisoners-of-war to continue their studies, Indeed; the same could be said for thousands of boys and girls throughout the Do- minion. You can justly be proud of yourselves. Must Work and Plan But you will appreciate that it is not enough merely to review the past--we must at the same time work for the present and plan for the future. There is still a great deal of sadness and suffering in the world. Children in many places do not know what it is to have a home or enough to eat. Others have for- gotten what it means to have a fa- ther and mother because they were taken away from them during the war, These are people who are in greater need of our aid today than they have ever been before. An appeal is being made to the boys and girls of Canada at the present time to lend their help to the good work that is being under- ken by the Junior Red Cross. The ranks must be swelled by new mem- | bers, who have the same enthu- | slasm that has always been the mark of this organization. Remem- ber that it is your privilege in this way to help those who have not had the same good fortune as your- selves, . Before I finish, I would like to say that I hope I shall be able to go to Canada some time to meet you all personally. But in the mean- time, I want to leave one thought with you, the young people of Can- ada. We, when we were children, tried to bear our share of the dan- gers and sorrows of war. Now is our opportunity to bring to others the benefits of peace. May this chal- lenge inspire and strengthen us all to do our part, and may the youth of today make the world brighter and happier for the children of to- morrow.

Dealer: "We make our profit re- pairing them," Oshawa's School Problems (Article No. 1) This is the first of a series of articles written as an open letter to the Voters of the City of Oshawa pre- senting the facts of the School Situation. These articles are written with the knowledge and co-operation of the city council. The Board's full program includes the building of new Collegiate and Vocational School on the Bishop Bethune property, an addition to Ritson Rd. School and the new Roxborough School. These buildings will provide equal opportunity for all school children in all parts of our city. Duties and authority of the Board, Public Schools Act of Ontario, Page 70, Section 89, part Ex. G. reads: (89) It shall be the duty of the boards of all public schools to see that the same are con- ducted according to this Act and regulations, and they shall have power (e) to acquire or rent school sites and premises, and to build, re- pair, furnish and keep in order the school- houses, furniture, fences and all other school property, and to keep the wells, closets and premises in a proper sanitary condition, and (G) It shall be the duty of the boards to determine the number, grade, . territorial boundaries and description of schools to be opened and maintained; and the teachers to be employed; the terms on which they are to be employed and their remuneration and rank whether principals or assistants. The above gives the authority to provide buildings, ete. Page 71, Section 89, part D reads: It shall be the duty of the boards to pro- vide adequate accommodation for all children between the ages of five and sixteen years, etc. The Board of Education have not been able to do this. There is only one kindergarten in the city at Centre Street School and only the children near the school and children of parents who are able to pro- vide transportation can go to this one. That is not equal opportunity to all children, This year we hadn't room for all that applied and each class has over 65 pupils. That is neither fair to pupils nor teachers. The situation in Oshawa is this: (1) There is two shifts at Collegiate; (2) Mary St., King St. and Ritson Rd. Schools are overcrowded; (8) South Simcoe and Cedardale are not crowded. As predicted in February and March, the east side of the city is growing the fastest and the greatest in- crease of children are coming from that area. Full details will be given in another article. The city council can pass a bylaw to issue deben- tures without going to the people. But the board, along with the city council, are going to approach the taxpayers for the decision. The boards' solution is set out in its program in this article. If you as voters are not willing to accept this, what is your solution? ! OSHAWA BOARD OF EDUCATION. for a career, will find this maturity to his advantage in social work where persens in their middle | twenties are preferred to younger students. Again the experience the | veteran has in handling and getting along with people is an added av- : vantage. Once known as "women's work," the field of social service now ur- gently necds men. "Social work should become known as a profes- sion which is operated jointly by |} both men and women," said Dr. H M. Cassidy, director of the Univer- sity of Toronto Scheol of Social Work. "At present probably mot more than one-fifth of the quali- fied social workers in Canada are men." At present there are not more than 1,000 qualified workers in Can- ada, most of them members of the Canadian Association of Social Workers, Five or six times that number could be engaged, said Dr. Cassidy. Rapid Expansion The sudden expansion of social work in Canada is partially respon- sible for the shortage of workers as the schools have not been able to supply enough graduates to meet increased needs. The introduction of family allowances, development of wartime housing, the community centre movement, improved penal services and the work done by the Department of Veterans Affairs all have contributed to the shortage, Two months ago the federal gov- ernment announced the setting a- side of $100,000 to provide scholar- Dr.Thomas' FAMILY LINIMENT MILK PRICES Effective October 1st, 1946 We wish to advise that Provincial Authorities have now stated there is to be some slight changes to the prices set by the Milk Control Board, and announced by us on Monday.

This is what Colonel Alan Cham- bers, overseas representative of the Department of Veterans' Affairs, said at Liverpool. "Six thousand Canadians are set- tling in England," he sald. "There will probably be many more, because we expect a lot of the 60,000 British brides to come back to England thanks to the long arm of the mo- ther-in-law."
