The con vention heard official reports, the way for reorganization Saskatchewan. H. E.

Keown, the association, was chairman. In his presidential address, the war policy of the Liberal of ment is more wrapped up in the letting of contracts to political friends than in the successful prosecution of the war," he declared. NO CO-OPERATION Speaking of the role of the Conservative party in the future, Mr. Keown warned against co-operation with "factions or isms." "Our real foe Is the C.C.F. and other parties which are the offshoot of discord," he claimed.

The Conservative party must stand on its own feet and prepare itself to take re sponsibility for the Government of Canada following il next election, he added. PERLEY ADDS COMMENT E.K Perley, M.P. for Qu'Appelle, told of Conservative efforts at the last session of the House of Commons to learn what the war effort of the Liberal Government i consisted in. "As far as Canada is CTUDENTS of crime and delinquency frequently stress that one of the chief contributing factors is that oT unsatisfactory home relations. Many delinquents, many problem adults, come from broken homes.

That is one of the reasons why family social work, such as done voluntarily In Army, the Y.W.C.A., the Y.M.C.A., the Family Welfare Association, the Catholic Welfare Council, the Jewish Council of Women, the Community Council, the Victorian Order of Nurses, the I.O.D.E. and the Canadian National Institute of the Blind all affiliated with the Community Chest need and deserve public support. Thelr's is character-building and home-saving work that benefits the whole community. In his last annual report, A. S.

Wright, veteran of the Children's Aid Society "A Nation marches forward on the feet of its little children." Saskatoon, is important for community welfare. It concerned, it is a Liberal war. This spendthrift Government goes through $3,000,000 per day, yet we can get no information about the war effort," Mr. Perley asserted. "We're not supposed to say anything about it," he added, and then, Jocularly, "we're likely to be interned." Is not simply applying the Golden Rule.

It is downright good business to keep family life intact and to ensure proper living conditions moral, spiritual and emotional as well as economic. That is why such agencies as the Orange Home, the Salvation Two German Aliens Flee Prairie Internment Camp A pleajfor a national Govern ment in wartime was made in the presidential address. Mr. Keown realized now that such a Government was out of the question. Consequently, reorganization of the Conservative party throughout Canada was necessary.

Eastern Canada Tories must co-operate with the West in reorganization here. SEES CHANGE The president observed a great ESCAPE FROM WORKING change coming over democratic in stttutlons in -Canada. The Con servative party, truly democratic, must guide that change, he said. "We must assist in the winning of SEARCH UNDER WAY; R.C.M.P.

Many More Are Giving Community Chest Work Better Understood, Secretary Says Communltv Chest canvas sers renort a more intelligent and sympathetic understand ing or tne worn or the Chest this year than during the cam paign last year, Dan II.

Young, executive secretary, reports. PROGRESS IS GOOD The progress of the campaign now under way compares favorably with last year, he said. The returns so far have been from three of tho divisions and no figures 011 the amount collected have been available from any of the Government, education or railway divisions, which bulked largely in the total collected last year. The men general division, head ed by W. G.

Carruthers, with L. D. Peterkin as vice-chairman, reported that a great many people, who did not contribute last year, were con tributing this year. This division reported an increase of $500 over the corresponding period of last year and in many of the downtown districts tne canvass naci barely got under way. In the men's division, one of the canvassers reported a gift of $5 and came back later In the afternoon with an additional $10 from the same man, who explained that he had been reading the Chest pamph let and saw that there were 12 organizations sharing in the Community Chest funds this year.

If each of them had called upon him separately he would have given $1 to each and so felt that it was worth $15 to be saved a multiplicity of calls, he said. This division, along with the spe cial gifts and women's divisions, accounted for most of the $6,150 re celved at campaign headquarters up until Thursday night, Mr. YounR said. This was In spite of the fact that none of these divisions was nearly complete. Meteorological Workers Needed Nearly 50 civilian meteorological assistants, grade 3, will be needed shortly in connection with the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan, according to word received from the Civil Service CommiHslon today.

They will be used mostly to give Instruction in elementary meteorology to R.C.A.F. personnel. A salary at the rate of $1,620 per annum will be paid persons with the right type of experience. This class was advert iaed last May but Insufficient eligible men were obtained to meet this new demand. Basic qualifications for this work are university graduation, with specialization In mathematics and physics.

Persons who are Interested in being considered for this impoitant work in the Empire Air Training Scheme, should apply to the Civil Service Commission not Inter than November 15, on forms obtainable at any post office. Must Have Facilities Medical Health Officer Draws Attention to Provincial Rules TO GUARD HEALTH ISSUES WARNING IN VIEW OF NUMBER OF LARGE HOUSES NOW APARTMENTS A warning that all suites or apartments must be self-contained according to provincial and Federal regulations, was issued today by Dr. Arthur Wilson, city medical health officer. Doctor Wilson's warning was directed to Saskatoon householders, who in view of the shortage of homes, are converting large houses into suites. SLUMS COSTLY Being self-contained, the doctoi explained, means each apartment or suite must have at least one water closet and a wash basin.

Following is the health officer's statement: "Among the health axioms pub lished by the minister of pensions and national health, is the follow ing: 'Slums are costly to municipalities. They create greater expense than the tax returns from their localities. Furthermore, they levy a heavy toll on family life, morals and general welfare. To safeguard health and morals, and to cut down unnecessary expense, they should be eradicated from every commu "Persons converting old houses or buildings into suites are required to take out a permit from the city engineer's department before beginning any work. Such alterations are required to comply with the provincial regulations governing apartment blocks.

One of the most important requirements is that all suites must be self-contained, as stated under subsection 2 of section 8 of the regulations, which reads: 'If the municipality has a water works and sewerage system, at least one water closet and wash basin shall be Installed within each "Also section 1 of the same regulations reads: 'Apartment means a suite of one or more rooms occu-' pled or Intended or designed to be occupied by one or more "In some of the old buildings there are suites that are not self-contained. It has been found that when communicable diseases occui In such premises In every Instance It Is necessary to hospitalize these patients. Frequently the hospital accounts are not paid. The arrange ment of a lavatory and bathroom common to two or more families does not facilitate the control ot communicable diseases and preven tion of their spread. "This Is only one of many reasons that may be given for the support of the provincial regulations requiring self-contained suites.

We believe that this Is a wise provision for the health of those who live in apart ment blocks." Al'I'EAL ADJOURNED The appeal of the A. E. MacKen zie Company, seed merchants of Brandon, against a decision of Judge James F. Bryant, local court master, was adjourned thH morning until the next sittings of the Court of King's Bench chambers here, November 8. Arthur Moxon, K.C, appeared for the company to request the adjournment which was agreed to by John G.

George Grey of Toronto, secretary of the Canadian Transport Association, was a visitor In Saskatoon today. During the forenoon he conferred with City Engineer George Archibald on matters relative to Saskatoon's street railway system. The Canadian Transport Association was formerly the Canadian Street Railwsy Association.

The change In name ot the organization was made when various centres adopted buses and other means of transportation In addition to trams. For Pilots Local Establishment to Send Many More Than First Conceived LARGE PERSONNEL SOME 700 NOW CONNECTED WITH TRAINING, HERE, AND MOKE TO COME The alert young trainees who are learning to pilot the planes which drone over the city day and night, will be going overseas in increasing numbers to take their place in the front line of Britain's defence under the new speed ing-up of the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan, it was learned today. The No. 4 Service Flying Training School here will be turning out approximately 60 pilots every 24 days, a considerable increase in the original num bers scheduled for this school. LEARN TO SHOOT The first class of trainees, or "course" as it is termed in the Air Force, are now learning night fly ing and machine-gunning.

The instruction in night-flying, which started this week, will increase and Intensive training in the operation and firing of the fast Browning machine-guns Is under way. The machine-gun firing has been confined to ground operation to date. The 25-foot high machine-gun and rifle butt is plainly visible from the highway. It stands a short distance from the taxi-strip in front of No. 1 hangar.

There are approximately 650 men and 50 officers now connected with the school here and this number will be increased. Under the accel erated British Commonwealth Air Training plan there will be approx imately 180 trainees here when the school is in full operation. They will be divided between Intermed iate and advanced training. Under the new setup they will concentrate on ground Instruction and their fly ing will be limited more to what is known as service flying training. They will complete the more ad vanced phases of training in the speedy Hawker Hurricane planes In England.

OFFICERS DOWNTOWN The heating system for the offic ers' barracks is nearing completion. In the meantime the majority of the officers are living in city quarters. The other ranks are living In bar racks. The messrooms for the men have been completed and are now in operation. A glance at the dally menus indicates that the men are provided with good meals.

Carcasses of meat and large quantities of other foodstuffs arrive by truck daily. The food is prepared and served by R.C.A.F. personnel The heating systems in the men barracks were being given final tests this morning. Some of the barracks are heated by steam and others by hot-air furnaces fed by automatic stokers. There are seven barrack buildings capable of housing 136 man each, as well as a large building for officers' quarters The few other ranks, still living outside of barracks, were cases where men had made rental ar rangements which would entail a financial loss if they moved before the end of the month, the officer commanding said.

Work is being rushed to complete tho interior of the hospital. Smith Brothers and Wilson had completed the other work on the auxiliary buildings when the company was given a contract for heater rooms as additions to the drill hall, recrea tion buildings and photographic building. Construction is under way on these heater rooms at a total cost of approximately $15,000. The drill hall is a large building half the size of a hangar, and the heating system! for this and the large recreation hall must be rushed If they are to be used when cold weather arrives. The grounds have been laid out in well-defined streets.

At the suggestion of Group Captain Bell-Irving, the main driveway, run ning north and south in front of the administration building, has been boulevarded and young elm trees have been planted along the boulevard. The parade ground has been lev- oiled and will be in use for drills. Officers at the school remarked upon the excellence of the weather this fall. The school has been rushed and cold weather would have multiplied heating problems. Ex cept for a few days when smoke and dust in the air cut visibility to nil, the weather has been Ideal for fly ing, it was stated.

Democratic Way Is Best Bence Says People Must Be Persuaded Conservatives Can Obtain Reforms "We must persuade the people of Canada that through the Conservative party we can obtain essential reforms under our democratic system," said Alderman A. H. Bence, M.P.-elect for Saskatoon in an ad dress this morning to the annual convention of the Saskatchewan Conservative Association. Mr.

Bence defended the democratic way of life. "It is not perfect, I know, but it's much better than any dictatorship. Democracy can best be operated through a two major party system. I am In favor of reform, and I bel'eve that reform can be obtained by a process of boring from within our democratic system through the Conservative party," Mr. Bence stated.

"We must endeavor to persuade our people that the Conservative party is a party of reform, and that it is the task of this party to institute sane, sound, necessary reforms. It is a party of the people and can be moulded along modern lines." Mr. Bence denounced partisan ship. But to belong to a great party is not partisanship," he said. Mayor Carl Nideiost, bringing greetings to the convention, also supported the two-party system of Government under the democratic system.

A multiplicity of parties indicated lack of co-operation within a State, he said. His Worship deplored the popular interpretation of the word "poli tician." Only the politician could attain the high offices of public service, he declared. Why place the politician and the political pro fession In contempt, he asked. More tolerance toward public men in order that the political pro fession and Institutions would not suffer, was asked by the speaker. "We must make that profession attractive to men of integrity and ability," he concluded.

IN LIGHTER MOOD "Did you come all the way from Quebec to enjoy our climate," Police Magistrate Brown this morning asked a man, who admit ted that he was drunk on a Saska toon street. He paid $3 and costs. 1. SPEAK ENGLISH An extensive hunt is now under way over a wide area, with mili tary guards, Royal Canadian Mounted Pcilce, forest rangers, game wardens and volunteers, aided by an R.C.M.P. police dog, seeking the men.

Both are dressed in the distinctive camp uniforms blue-grey overall outfits with large red circles in the centre of the back of the tunics, red stripes on the front, and red stripes down the sides of the trouser legs. Both men speak good English, and claim United States citizenship, said military authorities in Calgary who believe the men may head for Calgary, and attempt to reach the international border. Both men are described as sailors but military authorities here believe they are civilian Internees Laage was known as an ace yachtsman in Eastern Canada and it is thought that his sailing experience is confined to yachts and small craft. Authorities have not yet received details of the escape, but it is thought the men were gone some time before their escape was no ticed. Guards at the camp immediately sent out search parties, and calls were sent to Canmore and Calgary for volunteer and police searchers.

Several Calgary Royal Canadian Mounted Police left at once for the scene, and later, Constable James Cobble of Gleichen drove to the camp with a police dog. The area of the hunt is thick bush country, but visibility is fairly good owing to the leaves having fallen from trees. PARTY THURSDAY; WIDE Authorities predicted an early capture of the men. At the time of the'escape, a mill tary tribunal in Calgary was trying Irwin Hartman, 20, and Alfred Schoenberg, 34, on charges of hav ing escaped from custody. The pair escaped from the Prairie intern ment camp September 20 and were captured two days later by forest rangers.

The trial is continuing. The two civilians who escaped yesterday brought the number of aliens to gain temporary freedom from civilian internment camps to 16, six of them from the Prairie camp. Others who escaped are all back in internment camps except Manuel Fischer, 29, who fled from a Northwestern Ontario camp and is being held by immigration offi cials at International Falls, Minn, Soldier Held for ti rcr inree urrences After he had pleaded guilty to causing a disturbance on a city street and to two charges of com mon assault, Private Albeit Lafon-taine, 31, of the Oundurn Camp, wan remanded for sentence Saturday by Police Magistrate Brown thin morning.
