National Selective Service Advisory Board

The series consists of the records related to Gilbert Jackson’s involvement in the National Selective Service Advisory Board from the 1942-1945. A commission that was empowered in 1942, the National Selective Service Advisory Board oversaw the mobilization of civilian human resources and military during the Second World War . Ruled under the direction of Deputy Minister of Labour Arthur MacNamara, the commission’s mobilization efforts emphasized conciliation, compromise and de-centralization as they focused on issues regarding the recruitment of Native Canadians for home defence, the essential control of the coal labour force in Nova Scotia, the deferment policies affecting university students and the control of women within the primary textile industry. A government body that had weak administrative control and strong social opposition to required mobilization measures, the National Selective Service Advisory Board was short lived.

The files have been separated into two distinct functions: the minutes belonging to the National Selective Service Advisory Board Subcommittee on Industrial Relations (29 Jul. 1942-31 Aug. 1942) and National Selective Service Advisory Board (6 May 1942-21 Nov. 1945); and subject files, which include the orders-in-council (1942-1945), the Subcommittee on Industrial Relations’ general memoranda on industrial relations and draft resolutions (1942), the National Selective Service Advisory Board’s memoranda on general information (1942-1943) and a submission to the Royal Commission on Coal on a survey that was completed on data workers in the coal mines of Nova Scotia (17 Mar. 1945).

For additional reports written by Gilbert Jackson to other federal government boards, commissions and special committees, see Series 4 (Canadian Tariff Board), Series 5 (National War Labour Board), Series 7 (Other Federal Government research and reports), and Series 9 (Gilbert Jackson & Associates).

National Research Council

Series contains is composed of records dating from McKay’s time at the National Research Council. During the Second World War, the organization was mobilized to support the Allied war effort. As a result, most of the series’ records relate to military research and development. Canadian Army Operational Research Group (C.A.O.R.G.) reports compose approximately half the files that make up the series. These reports cover subjects ranging from blast measurements for anti-tank mine clearance to the number and distribution of Japanese paper balloons in North America. There are also two summary reports on Japanese balloon incidents.
The remainder of the textual and graphic records are made up of committee minutes, general Department of Defence documents, and a short paper on Canada’s part in the development of the radio proximity fuse, which McKay contributed to as assistant to project leader Professor Arnold Pitt.

Also included in this series are the remains of a Japanese paper balloon. Paper balloons, also known as balloon bombs, were a by-product of an atmospheric experiment by Axis scientists, which discovered a powerful air current traveling across the Pacific at about 30,000 feet [1]. Taking advantage of this knowledge, the Japanese military developed what may well have been the first intercontinental weapon in the form of explosive devices attached to paper balloons. These balloons were released in Japan and carried along the Pacific by a jet stream, ultimately finding their way to North America’s West Coast. Although the Japanese are thought to have released as many as 9,000 paper balloons, only 1,000 or so are thought to have reached North America, resulting in a total of six casualties [2].

There is also some correspondence with family friends, the Bells of Oxford, who sent their children and grandchildren to Canada. Cochrane finally helped them to be placed with relatives in the United States.
