Across Canada starting about March 15 and spread over a period of possibly several months examinations will be held to sort out the best fitted candidates, with the preference going to veterans. Canada's Civil Service force now numbers 150,000 of whom 40,000 ara classed as "permanents" with the remaining 110,000 "temporaries." Many of the existing jobs are of a strictly wartime nature and are due to disappear. Just what the post-war strength of the service will be is anyone's guess, but the best estimate is about 100,000, which compared with 67,000 in 1939. The new 100,000 figure leaves a margin of 60,000 between the total force and the 40,000 government workers who ecial Notice to Service and Ex-Servicemen!

Last evening's organ recital at the Glebe Collegiate, the tenth in a series sponsored by the Collegiate Institute Board, was notable for its well-balanced program and for the warmth of the welcome accorded the tv.o young assisting art. Mr. Myron McTavish, A. ic, FAGO, FCCO, official ort to the Collegiate Board, playtu nis major work Bach's Toccata and Fugue in minor. The order of the program was changed, the Bach fugue following the intermission rather than opening the concert, in order that Mr.

McTavish might preface his performance with a short talk on the origin of the fugue. He gave a masterly performance of this great work, evoking the nobility of thematic material and the colorful-ness which has made it so popular. The engaging Romance Sans Paroles (Bonnet) was an auspicious beginning for the program, and the romantic Melodie in by Rachmaninoff, was distinctive for the delicacy with which Mr. McTavish handled the decorative material which overlies the plaintive theme. Since she has attained such a degree of excellence in a comparatively short period of study, it would be interesting to see what Helen Grand could make of her voice with lull-time work.

Her voice is full, of excellent quality, with some of the rich "brown" tones of a good mezzo-soprano, but with a range already exceeding mezzo. Making her debut last evening, she sang the fervent Del Mio Dolce Ardor (Gluck) and the tender Slumber Song (Gret-chaninofl) with consistently good tone. Lack of proper support in breathing made Vittoria, Mio Core (Carissimi) rather uneven, but this was probably due to nervousness, as she handled the ornate passages of When I was Seventeen and Pastoral iCarey) with more assurance. Sombre Woods (Lully), Seguedille, from Carmen, and Early One Morning were her other contributions to the program. Judging from the applause last evening, it would seem, that Ottawa is fully aware of the talent displayed by Peter Smith, pianist, who will be heard on Saturday evening in his own'recital at the Chateau Laurier.

With the musicianly approach and excellent tone which characterize every performance he gives, he played the Chopin Fantasia in minor with drama, romantic feeling and tenderness. The left-hand accompaniment to Prelude in flat (Rachmaninoff) was particularly good, and his interpretation of the Bine-Danube Waltzes (Strauss-Schultz-Elver) was thoroughly melodious, as if he were trying to avoid the "fireworks" with which this arrangement is usually played. It is a pity that his final numbers had to be played against the distraction of inexcusable noises off-stage. L. T.

Validity Dates of Butter Coupons Because of several changes taking place this month in the use of coupons, such as the changes to coupons for butter and the coupons for sugar, as well as the expiration of all preserves coupons, Wartime Prices and Trade Board yesterday issued a reminder of these changes. The validity dates for the butter coupons are as follows: February 7, number 139; February 14, number Rl; February 21, number R2. For meat, coupons numbers 23, 24, 25 and 26 come due, one each week, on February 7, 14, 21 and 28 respectively. For sugar, coupons numbers 70 and SI come due February 21. Urge System To Curtail Imports To Actual Needs An import system to curtail imports of fresh fruits and vegetables into Canada to a volume sufficient to meet the actual needs of Canadian consumers was urged yesterday at the 24th annual meeting of the Canadian Horticultural Council.

The suggestion was made by the Council's legislation committee in a report to the opening session of the three-day meeting, being attended by 150 delegates representing all branches of the Canadian fruit, vegetable and for floral industries- "This system of itself alone, however, could not be expected to do more than to regulate the supply of any particular fruit or vegetable to meet the week-to-week demand based on foreign market invoice prices," the report said. The committee said it was preparing a brief for submission to a Federal Government trade and tariff committee which is sitting preparatory to the proposed general international trade conference later this year. Secretary L. F. Burrows, of Ottawa, suggested growers pay more attention to grading, packaging and cost of distribution to meet competition in post-war markets.

Than 150 Briefs Trade and tariff experts from Britiv. Commonwealth countries are expected to meet in London next May 15 to discuss revamping the Imperial tariff preferences, a system by which Commonwealth countries arrange lower tarifTs against goods from other Empire countries than they have against the goods from countries outside the Empire. 1 An international trade conference is to be held in Washington next summer and one of the first things about which United States trade experts are expected to complain is this preferred treatment British countries extend to each other. So the British countries will want to find out how far they can go in meeting the United States objection without disastrous result to their own economies. Meanwhile, the Canadian trade and tariff committee headed by Hecton B.

McKinnon, tariff board chairman, will study more than 150 briefs which have been submitted by Canadian firms out what they consider are the needs for protection within the Commonwealth. Finance Minister Ilsley, in Inviting Canadian companies to express their views on tariff changes both within the Commonwealth and with foreign nations, set a deadline of Jan. 31 when all briefs should be In. However, the committee has not been dogmatic and still is receiving late presentations. So many important Canadian industries have been built up because of Empire preferences that the briefs, it is understood, emphasize the need that they be continued.

However, the feeling here is that, if United States is to grant freer access into its markets for exports from British countries, there will have to be give and take. Consequently some of the preferences now enjoyed must be narrowed or eliminated. In addition to Mr. McKinnon, the trade and tariff committee is composed of M. W.

Mackenzie, deputy Two Hull Firemen Are Made Permanent Yvain Philion and Jean Auger, who have been members of the Hull fire department for the past three years, were made permanent by members of Hull City Council. These three firemen have been recommended by Director Emile Bond- The members of City Council also decided to again rent to Leopold Gratton for the sum of $1,200 a year the building at Moussette's Park, Aylmer road, for the operation of a roller skating rink. Mr. Gratton has been operating that rink for the past six years. Special Meeting To Review Hull Waterworks A special meeting of the Hull City Council will be held on Friday evening when the question of improvements to the waterworks system of the city will be discussed.

This was decided last evening at the regular meeting of the council which was presided over by Mayor Raymond Brunet. It was stated that for many years the question of building a filtration plant has been discussed at the various meetings of the council. "It could be one of the post-war works that we could do," said the mayor. Some of the aldermen also stated that during the past years numerous complaints had been received as to the waterworks system and more lately when the additional wartime houses were erected In Wrightville. Residents of Wrightville have always complained of low pressure of water and improvements should be made as soon as possible.

"If the E. B. Eddy company moves to Gatineau Mills, the firm may decide to make a grant to the city of it's filtration plant," added the mayor. It was also decided to request the officials of the Post Office Department to improve the delivery of mail in Lamontagne Park. It was said that presently residents of that section of the city are forced to get their mall from a sub-post office and that mail should be delivered at their homes by postmen as in other parts of the city.

Triple Funeral For Victims of Fire A triple funeral service for the three members of the Tobin family, Patrick, James and their sister, Miss Winnifred Tobin who were burned to death on Saturday night In their log cabin on the First Line road at North Gower, will be held on Wednesday morning from the parlors of McEvoy Brothers, 235 Kent street, to St. Phillip's church, Richmond, where a requiem high mass will be chanted at o'clock. Burial will be made in the parish cemetery. hold "permanent" status. Commission's Task.

It is on those 60,000 jobs that the Civil Service Commission will have to rule, deciding whether the present job holder is to continue or whether he will be replaced by a veteran. The task the commission has ahead is a tough one, but not unexpected. For several years appointments about which there was no urgency have been delayed and appointments which were filled were on a temporary basis. The cardinal principle on which the reshuffle will be made is that, in accordance with government policy, there will be a preference to veterans that is men with overseas service. The veteran candidate must, however, prove his ability to fill the job and the desire of the commission appears to be to absorb veterans on as large a scale as possible without any wholesale dismissal of existing staff.

Civil service examinations will be held for such general classifications as postal employes, customs and immigration officials, unemployment insurance commission positions and clerks, typists and accountants as well as for individual positions. Particularly on individual positions the final decision will be based on an examination of the particular job and the applicants. Presuminn; it is a job that now is filled by a "temporary" it will mean the commission will have to weigh the service given by that man and the job he has done against the preference which automatically goes to a veteran and his qualifications. There will be a minor easing in the competition for jobs by the retirement of some 2,400 civil servants who now have reached the compul sory retirement age of 65 years. The withdrawal of married women will be another factor, though not necessarily a large one.

Married women who are not dependent on thei' jobs for support have a low priority when it comes to retaining their jobs. The readjustment of the civil ser vice is not expected to completely exclude students leaving school from joining the government departments.

The index, on the basis of 100 for 1935-39, stood at 119.9 at Jan. 2, compared with 120.1 at Dec. 1, 1945. The new index figure represented an increase of 18.9 per cent over August, 1939. Major change for December was in the food index which went from 134.3 to 132.8 with a sharp decline in egg prices outweighing lesser increases for butter and fresh vegetables.

Other groups remained unchanged with the exception of clothing which edged upward from 122.5 to 122.6 and miscellaneous items which rose from 109.6 to 110.9. The bureau reported that an annual survey of health maintenance costs showed expenses to be generally higher. A similar review of life insurance rates recorded small increases in certain types cf policies. Other group indexes which remained unchanged were: Rents 112.3; fuel and light, 107.1 and home furnishings and services 119.5. THE DOMINION HOUSE FURNISHING CO LIMITED.

Canadian craftsmen revealed in their work a very sure technique in the execution and handling of their designs. Most of these early sculptors, he stated, were from Quebec city. Montreal and Three Rivers. Although patterned after the French style of that period, the Canadian work tended to lean towards simplicity of design, in contrast to the elaborate and detailed work of French artisans.

It was not until the end of the 18th century that Canadian craftsmen began using plaster to any great extent; up to that time most sculpture had been done in wood, calling for highly-skilled craftmanship. Dr. Hubbard will continue with his series a week from next Monday when he will give the second part of his talk on sculpture, dealing with statues. The talks are under the auspices of the National Gallery of Canada. Gen.
