Men with overseas service were being "bribed" with the promise of leaves at home to volunteer for service in the Pacific Mr. Smith charged, while a home army was being retained by the government Of the party's platform he said: There is not one sentence or one word of pussyfooting in it. On that we stand or fall, but we shall not lie our way into office." -Progressive Conservatives realized from-the beginning of hostilities that Canada was engaged in a total war, but the government persisted in carrying on with one party only.

TOTAL' EFFORT Britain and the United States, on the contrary, realized that "total war must be met by total effort" and had established coab tion measures. Reviewing the policies of vari- (ous parties, Mr. Smith noted that the C.C advocated socialization of all industries except aericul ture. It excluded agriculture, he charged because an attempt to nationalize land would mean the end of the party. Of the Progressive Conservative policy for veterans.

Mr. Smith said the party had taken the stand that there should be no discharges or stoppage of pay and allow ances until the veteran had a job to go to. He pointed out that 58 Progres sive Conservative candidates in this election were veterans eithcri of this or the previous war. RACIAL' DIFFERENCES Lt Col. Harkness also rapped the government sharply for its manpower policy, particularly with respect to the Pacific.

"It is one which no government has the right to announce," he said, describing it as "an absolute dis grace" to ask men who had fought in Europe to fight again in the Far East while thousands of men remained idle iq a ed Seven-year-old Bobby Fisher, fisher, 2240 33rd St S.W., is in the General hospital recover' ing from a rifle wound he received when a .22 bullet acd Festival 4,000 Taking More than 4,000 cxh and women, of whom 660 were in Alberta, had been given training by the end of April at Canadian Vocational Training centres throughout the Dominion, R.

Although only a small percent age of the men and women discharged from the forces take vocational training, courses are offered by correspondence at private trade and business schools, institutes of Technology and CV.T. centres. The aexornmodation is Mow adequate, but we need mora equipment of all Mr.

Thompson said. The newest type of training offered is the pre matriculation course to raise the educational requirements of mea and women wishing to go to wu versity.

Disunity was being encouraged In Canada, said Col. Harkness, I and differences between racial groups were being perpetuated. On The Lights While Holy Cross hospital is about two-fifths of a mile nearer to the Southam building than Calgary General hospital. It is only seconds closer in actual driving time owing to traffic conditions, it was shown by test runt made Friday afternoon by a Herald reporter. A dispute over the time neces sary to reach the two hospitals from the Southam building, where many medical men have offices, arose at the recent meet ing of the General hospitals board when L.

H. Barnes declared he could drive to General hospital in lea time than he could to Holy Cross hospital. Dr. W. S.

Quint, chairman of the medical staff, took issue with the statement. Driving at a speed In keeping with traffic conditions it required The Herald reporter mins. 45 sees, to travel the SAO miles (speedometer read-) ing I between General hospital and the Southam building by way of Memorial boulevard. Langevin bridge, 4th Ave. and 1st St W.

The Journey was halted for 25 seconds by the traffic lights at the intersection of Centre St. and 4 Ji Ave, the stop sign at Langevin bridge. The trip from the Southam building to Holy Cross hospital, a distance of 1 110 miles, required 3 mins. 30 sees, by way of 1st St. Uth Ave.

and 2nd St. W. The trip was delayed for a few seconds at 8th Ave. intersection by the traffic policeman, and at the stop sign at 17th Ave. W.

The above times could, be shortened by many seconds provided traffic conditions were more favorable and the traffic lights were not against the driver. Transportation Norman D. WilsonT Tort iito consulting engineer, arrived in Calgary Friday morning and im mediately started his survey of the city's transportation system by submitting a report and recommendation on the type of equipment required for its inoderniia-Uon. After a preliminary discussion with Mayor Andrew Davison In city halL Mr. Wilson obtained financial data from City Comptroller E.

A. Hookway and then accompanied 'Charles Combe, street railway superintendent, to the department offices. The mayor stated the time likely to be required for the survey had not been discussed.

Admittinc there were son good points in the government's rehabilitation program, he as serted that most of them had been brought in at Progressive Conservative insistence. But they were "merely the start, so far as his party was concerned. There was still too much red tape and delay.

The main thing that is requir is Jobs," he said. That was the major topic of men overseas. "We must provide all men returning from overseas with jobs," he con cluded. A long-term, scientific program for agriculture was advocated by Mr. McKinnon.

That is some thing we have never had," he commented. The problem of the future would not be how to avoid producing too much, hat how to produce enough. The farmer must know that agriculture will be on a stable basis not only now, but years from now. Many Candidates Will Lose $200 The Dominion treasury will be richer by several thousand dollars of Alberta money after June 11. according to present indications.

The money will be in the nature of "gif ts" from defeated candidates in the coming election. Each candidate, on filing his nomination papers. deposits $200 with the returning officer. If, on election day, he either wins the election or at least obtains 50 per cent as many votes as the winning candidate's total, he will get his deposit back in a month or two. Failing to do so, he forfeits his deposit.

As- nearly all of Alberta's constituencies have five candidates in the running, and none with less than four, the chances of forfeiture are high. At least two candidates in each riding are likely to lose their at a minimum, and possibly more. There are 17 constituencies, so that, the total in forfeited deposits may well exceed" Social Services Directorate Meeting A meeting of the army directorate of 'Social services was in progress at the Pal User hotel today.

Unless it is found that the bul let causes pressure on a nerve or artery, it will not be removed from Bobby's neck. An operation to remove the bullet would be serious because of the slug's depth and proximity to the spinal cord. Meanwhile Bobby is receiving injections of penicillin every three hours to combat the possibility of osteomyelitis, a bone disease which often occurs in wounds affecting the mouth. "If the accident had happened few months ago, it would have been even more serious, because penicillin would not have been available."
