Ottawa Oct 24 Defence Headquarters announced recruiting for both active and reserve forces is progressing, with 10 000 vacancies in the active force and an indicated number in the reserve.

The army promises a challenging career with good advancement and pay, and training in technical branches seen as a path to civil careers.

Congress may kill the Office of Price Administration soon
Washington observers predict Congress will dismantle the Office of Price Administration in January, allowing only scarce items to keep price ceilings. OPA removes ceilings on cosmetics, non food items, and broad wage controls are loosened for food industries, lifting many workers from wage oversight. Living costs are expected to rise briefly as bread, baked goods, jams, canned fish, and whiskey likely see price increases.
