(Continued on Page Six) O ver-Ail Picture of Unemployment Local and National Fairly Normal An *unwarranbed scare bas been in bbc air Ibese pasî few montha negarding bbc future ai employ- ment la Canada. Similar feelings have been evident in the talk ai some ai bbc cilizens ai Bowman- ville. A survcy was made ai the opinions af seve±'al ai bbc nespon- sible men in the bigger businesses in town ta find bbc general atti- tude bowands bbc future ai cm- ployment. O.J. Presson ai Goodyear stales Ihat bbc number ai employeca at bbe plant is the same as il was a yean ago, and Ibat there appeans ta be no neason for a draslic change eithen way. About 60 men have been taken on in bbc pasl two montha. Stnikes in motor in- dustries may neduce tbc staff siighîly Ibis Spring, althaugb this siack may be overcome by bbc neturnata production ai garden hase. No Necd For Alarm The wbole pictune is so close ta us, claims Mn. Presson, that we cannot accuraîely judge the future ai employmcnt. Over bbc past four years there have been annual prediclians ai a slump. But eacb year bas denied Ibisi ican, and Ibere is notbing ta mndi- cale Ibat 1950 wil nol be a yean ai slabilîly. Twa years aflen the finst World War Ibene was a momenlany slump. Then prospeniby returned and nemnained witb us for anoîben nine yeara. Sbouid the same pat- tera accur during bbc present posî-wan period, Ibere sbouid be no neal cause fon wonry until 1956. But even Iben wc should nal wor- ry unduly, since governmenl con- trais have pncvcnted wild buying and seiling and will probabiy tend la maintain a greater degree af slability than aflen the final Great War. Wlntcr Slows Atriculture Acconding ta Ed. Summers, dis- trict agricullunal represenlalive, there appears ta be more fanm Slabor ai a bigb quality available aI Ibis ime than aI any lime since bbc lasI war. Two wceks ago there were thnee applica- tions by "likely loaking young ichllows" for fanm work. This is Uic langeaI number fon many months. The presenî seasan, due to Uic gencral slackening off ai farm wark, la bbc pooneat periad for placement. jThe war forccd m fvarn;ers wbo couldat &et help ta buy big macbincny wbicb now enables tbem ta work witb a amailen numbc af i bied banda, cdaims Mn. Summers. Howeven ne doesn' Mr. Summers. However be doesn'b wisb ta predict what the future ai farm macbinery will be as a nesuit. Stcady Improvement at Foundry Acting supeinlendent Tom F.

Eigbl la bcn men wcre laid off. But since tbab lime Ibere bas been a steady incecase in business, espccially in malle- able iran. Business is now up ta about 80% afitis former level, an increase ai 305o aven tbe past ten montha, and the impnovemcnt continues. AIl laid-off erTiplyPas are back except twa. Wben asked ta ac- canal for the siump, Mn. Rcbder sîaîed Ibat he tbougbt that Ibene was no aven-ail drap in business bebind il.

A back-log was built up whicb waà incneased due ta bbc drap in buying ai the consumer because ai a grealen choice ai pro- ducîs as time wenb on. For a few monîba il was decided la gel id af these stores witbout buying furîber foundry producîs. This mdy have accounbed ion bbc 1cm- ponary recession, and il wauld ap- pean Ihat bbc situation is now sta- bilized. Absolutely No Crisis According la an analysia made by bbc Financial Post thene aeed be no wanny about bbc emplay- ment situation, based on the fol- ]owing quotalion, "To lialen la some ai the near-bystenia vaîced in certain quartera anc migbb tbink Ihat there xvas a major un- employment criais in Ibis coun- try.

A full scale meeting of the dl.é rectors and the committees of Bowmanville Chamber ai Camà; merce was beld Manday evening at the Lions Community Centre, Ordinarily the committees met separately.
