Scores Manpower Muddle JUDGED by rre-war standards, Canada's war effort to the present was unbelievable, but compared with what Britain, Russia and China had done, there was still plenty of room for improvement. This was the opinion of A.

M. Nicholson, C.C.F. member of the Dominion House for Mackenzie. and national treasurer of the C.C.F. party, In Winnipeg today.

"The manpower situation in Canada is A muddle the whole thing has been badly handled by the government. The production of a number of luxuries which are still being turned out should be stopped. The sale of liquor should curtailed, although am not in favor of prohibition," he pointed out. John Bracken's election to the leadership the Progressive Conservative party was, not worrying the C.C.F. in Saskatchewan.

"It seems to me that Saskatchewan will support the C.C.F. rather than Mr. Bracken at the head of the Progressive Conservatives. Saskatchewan has been prejudiced against the Conservatives for a great many years," he said. Mr.

Nicholson addressed A dinner meeting of the Manitoba C.C.F. Sunday evening. He will leave this evening for Ottawa. Bigger Blood Donor Clinic Opens At College THE by new H. W.

lines. Questioned about food agreements reached at Washington last week, Mr. Gardiner said lax was the only thing that would really affect the three Prairie provinces. The seed for oil was by both the United States and Canada to help replace oils lost in the war in the Pacific. "We had intended for another million acres this yearto, there was a big increase last year, but neither country has enough presses to press the oil out." Flax was to store.

Futhermore, difficult. is to protect western farmers against losing money." Therefore, stead of the hope -for flax acreage, Mr. Gardiner wanted the western farmers to go in for coarse grain production, oats and barley. On the whole the three-day meeting with United States secretary Claude Wickard was "very Satisfactory," reported Mr. Gardiner.

"We went over production programs both sides of the line, aiming to avoid too great production in some lines and too little in others. There are only a few places where changes are likely." BEFORE THE MAGISTRATE By V. V.M. TENA appeared in city police court today charged with theft of a dress and pleaded not guilty. She explained to the court that the dress in question had been loaned to her by a former friend, named Lena, who had become annoyed with her afterward and had laid the theft charge out of sheer spite.

Magistrate R. B. Graham manded the case until Thursday when evidence will be heard. To jail for the inevitable seven days went a well-known citizen after pleading guilty to the charge of driving while drunk. He also had his driver's license suspended for six months and his car impounded for three months.

Dahl, of the board, made the presentation. Both Mr. and Mrs. Spence replied. The lecture hall was crowded with members of the congregation and of church organizations.

Knox church choir paid its tribute with Sullivan's Gladsome Light. W. Davidson Thomson sang a solo. A Correction A recent report of a wage case in The Tribune was unfair in its summary of the disposition of the case. It was said that George S.

Stanley, restaurant keeper of 530 Main was ordered to pay $35 back wages due Mrs. Mary Frajd, a former employe. The facts of the case as stated by counsel for Mr. Stanley were that Mrs. Frajd had refused to accept the amount due her, claiming a much larger sum.

She started proceedings for this larger sum, before the trial the $35 was paid. After hearing her evidence the magistrate decided due that her, $35 but sum he was directed all that was Mr. Stanley pay the costs of $2.50 which were paid. The Tribune regrets any inconvenience caused to Mr. Stanley.

Food Supply Officials See Meat Rationing In Canada A 'Good Guess' (By The Canadian OTTAWA, Jan. with an regulations, toward rationing of beef Saturday they consider it follow the American lead at While a definite date States has not been set, Washing-4 ton authorities have said they it will be started around March Since Canada's ration books are newable on that date, provision doubtless will be made in the ones additional coupons to used for meat rationing in country. Favor Equality The expressed feeling in government circles here has been that there should be equality in the matter of rationing between the United States and Canada. The expectation is that Cana. dian cattle marketings will follow the usual seasonal course and show a substantial increase during the spring months.

It might be possible to have enough beef then to avoid rationing in Canada, but officials said that this would mean a continued cutting off of the movement of Canadian cattle to the United States. It would be better to have rationing and allow Canadian cattle to go to the United States, they said. In the peace years the United States was Canada's best customer for surplus cattle, and Canada should make an effort to supply cattle now, when United States "I Saw-" EVERY morning, as my father leaves for work, he places out the bottles for the milkman.

Hog Marketings Satisfactory Hog marketings in Canada since the new bacon agreement with the United Kingdom started Nov. 1 have been satisfactory and the movement has been sufficient to meet the terms of the contract and at the same time look after the domestic market fairly well.

But with rationing of pork in the United States the Canadian government might decide that rationing of this food should also be instituted in Canada. Canada was unable to supply its full undertaking of 650,000,000 pounds of bacon to the United Kingdom within the time limit last year 50 this year, with the amount of 675,000,000 pounds, it might be a wise policy to start rationing soon so there would be no shortage next autumn in supplies for Britain, it was in. timated in official circles.

Muller has never seen that city's residents 80 "fire conscious" 85 they are at present. Interviewed by The Tribune this morning, Mr. Muller told of the numerous phone calls which kept his department rushing from one home to another to inspect wiring and other electric equipment. "Ever since the bad eastern first and later the St. Vital and East Kildonan tragedies, citizens of St.

Boniface have besieged us to look and that defect in their Some been "homes. almost jittery and certainly, if they were apathetic about such things a year ago, they've changed their tune," he stated. Muller then gave the reporter a verbal report on building conditions in the district covered by his department. It was his opinion the public buildings, hotels, apartment blocks, and other major structures were as "safe hazard as they can, be without having them rebuilt." In the Old Folks' Home on Tache ave, for example, a complete sprinkler system was installed several years ago at a cost of close to $20,000. The St.

Boniface hospital is fireproof. The city's three theatres are equipped with panic hardware, have exits at both ends of the buildings, and are all within a few hundred -feet of a fire hall. The large packing plants have their own fire alarm systems and are heated by units in separate structures. Mr. Muller also mentioned the fact that they use daily over half a million gallons of water to wash down their floors, which would help greatly in reducing the risk of chance fires.

In their regular fire drills, public schools have been evacle. ated within a minute and a minute and a half, Mr. Muller said. When the alarm is pulled for the fire drill, he out, no one is informed excepting, the school staff and the Firemen are not told. Thus fire drills in St.

Boniface have a realistic touch, aS fire equipment from both halls attend and are timed as well as the school children. In all real alarms in the vicinity of schools, hotels, apartment blocks. industrial plants Any other large buildings, both No. 1 and No. 2 fire halls respond automatically.

The city's four hotels, while all frame constructions and as old AS 25. or 30 years, offset their lack of proof from fire by having many exits and taking all possible precautions. There is only one apartment block, Mr. Muller said, which is not in particularly good condition but it two-storey building..
