OTTAWA (UP) With a total population of fewer than 000, the Dominion of Canada had 12,500 permanent personnel in the armed service when at declared war on Germany on Sept. 10, 1939.
Today, with the second anniversary of the declaration approaching, the hemisphere's northernmost nation has a volunteer active army of 220,000, plus a home defense reserve of more than plus a home defense reserve of more than 170,000, a navy of 20,000 and an air force of 55,000. In terms of the population of the United States, Canadian forces are comparable with an armed strength on active service of something over teh 3,000,000 mark. Dominion war expenditures this year, at 35 to 40 per cent of the national income, total more than 52,000,000,000, amounting to a comparable figure of by the United States. Volunteer System So far, all recruiting for the ac- tive services has been on a voluntary basis, in line with 1940 election promises of both the continuing Liberal administration and Conservative opposition. The nearest thing to national service has been the calling up of unattached age groups from 21 to 24 in small groups.
After a four-months training course, each group is posted to reesrve units on home defense, freeing other ac- tive units for duty anywhere. However, entire battalions of home defense troops have volunteered en masse and have been accepted into the regular army. Estimated cost ftlie air plan alone for a three-year period is $824,000,000, with Canaia paying the lion's share. Eighty per cent of the students are Canadians, most of the rest coming from Empire countries. But trained, or in ttain- ing, are about 1,500 Americans, while 600 skilled United States pilots are acting as instructors.
Garrison West Indies Canadian army units garrison the West Indies and Gibraltar. In "addition, they succeeded the first British occupation troops in Iceland and were relieved just before American marines were landed. In Newfoundland, Canadian troops stand side by side with United forces. Under Dominion colors, according to July figures, approximately 1,000 Canadians have lost their lives in action so far. The navy, which has lost two destroyers, lists 335 killed, 21 missing, 35 dead and 63 wounded.
In the army, 56 have been killed, 84 are missing, 214 have died and 150 have been wounded. Canadian sailors, manning a fleet of 13 destroyers, three merchant cruisers, corvettes, minesweepers and smaller craft daily are playing a big role in the Battle of the Atlantic and in the wa- ters off Britain and the coast of orth America. Canadian units took part in the evacuations from France, in which an R.C.N. destroyer was lost. They have con rated town Bloomsourg on a civil service basis became effective today.
by Reps. John L. Bon-ey and Walter Grey Gryskewicz, Luzerne Democrats, the measure became law July 1 and made it mandatory on the municipalities to establish three-member civil service commissions by today. Under its provisions, all new police force applicants must pass physical and mental merit tests to qualify for jobs in those communities. Police chiefs and present law enforcement personnel, however, are not affected and need take the tests only for promotions.
Purpose of the law, its sponsors said, is to furnish a "complete and exclusive system for appointment, promotion, reduction, suspension or removal of police force members in every borough, incorporated town and first class township." The civil service commissions are composed of three members appointed by the municipality council or township commissioners, as the case may be. Members initially will serve staggered two, four and six year terms; thereafter six years. An elective office is incompatible with a commission post, except that one member of a borough, board of township commissioners or the incorporated town may serve. The commissions, given power to investigate and issue subpenas, will establish rules and regulations for physical and mental examinations and promulgate minimum qualifications. All tests must be practical and relate to matters as will "fairly test" fitness of police aspirants.
Examinations may be refused applicants who do not meet minimum requirements, are physically disabled, addicted to drinking or use of drugs, guilty of a crime involving "moral turpitude, or are affiliated with any subversive group." Rejected applicants have the right of appeal to the commission CHANGE 15 VETOED HARRISBURG, Aug. 1 (UP) The measure of Sen. M. Harvey Taylor, Dauphin, to remove the internal affairs department from control of the chief executive, was vetoed by Gov. Arthur H.
James to keep the department under budgetary control. James reminded that he has already approved a measure giving the internal affairs secretary "substantially'- the same general independent powers now enjoyed by the auditor general and state treasurer. The fiscal officers, James said, are the "so-called watchdogs of the treasury" and have a "colorful reason'' for not coming under executive control. He said he could see no reason, however, why the internal affairs secretary, en joying power of independent ap pointments, should not have his finances under the governor's scru tiny despite the fact it is an elective office. A bill to use proceeds from sale within 10 days and if still aggrieved by the second decision may appeal to the common pleas court.
Tests will establish eligible lists from which applicants will be selected as vacancies occur. Veterans will receive additional credits. Police chiefs, however, will not be selected through the merit system. In iase of a police chief vacancy, the appointive power may nominate a person to the commission and he will be given a non-competitive examination for the top 'f'lZ I Mf)' Set3 pieces 3 pc-BEU 0UTF1T "('T a 'ii! jf iljrTCt, St Stainless porcelain top table and Simmons Metal Bed.

All appointments will be for a probationary period of six months and if those selected prove unsatisfactory they must be given partment at an unjustifiable cost. James also vetoed bills for from the motor fund for construction of roads leading to the Ephrata Cloisters, and $10,000 for a museum on the Bushy Run battlefield, Westmoreland county. That batch of rejections ran the number of bills James has vetoed to 21. He still has to act on 171 measures.

If for reasons of economy it becomes necessary to reduce the force, then all officers, 65 years or over and eligible for pensions, must be retired immediately. Another alternative is to furlough the last appointed men. Those laid off for reasons of economy must be considered first when the munici- I pality again is able to increase the force.
