Local Employment Commuite.. Initial theme of the campaign la to have people plan jobs now t0 be done durlng the wintcr mnonthu when men and mater- 111* are readily available. A "DIo It Now" program will be Inaugurated Jan. 1. Fmederal Minister of Labor, Mon. Michael Starr, M.P. for Ontario riding, sald in an offi- ciai statement, "It lu in the best Interests of your community to support the "Winter Work" carnpaigxi In every way you can "Plea» remnember"l, he con- tinued, "Many of the slow- downs and shut-downs which take place in Canada each year during the winter months are the resuit of outmoded habits and traditions rather than cold weather". Modern methods and techno- logical changes made it feasible to do niuch more work in the wlnter than we are now doing, Mr. Starr pointed out. Poflcy Explalfled Norman Hodgson, Manager of the National Empioyment Service Office of the Unem- Iployment Insurarice Commis- sion in Oshawa, said: "The de- sire is flot only to employ the u nemployed but also to keep people working who are work- Ing"l. The aim was to curb un- employaient by flot creating new candidates for the unern- ployed ranks. Mr. Hodgson feels people should keep working and plan maintenance jobs to their homes even if they are to do the labor themselves. The fact that paint and other materials wil be purchased can be a stimiu- lant In itself. The N.E.S. Manager pointed out that we ail depend on one another, to some extent econ- omically and ah aour economic activity, such as buying and selling goods and services, bas a direct bearing on the welfare of our community and the peo- pie ln it. He said, "Each winter, partly because of the cold weather and partly because of habit, econ- omic activity in this commun- îty slows down and somne of 1 ur wage earners loin the ranks 1of the unemployed. This fact is weil known but what is flot al- ways recognized is that when wage earners are unempioyed and unahie to make their nor- mal economic contribution, the whole community suffers". Suggestions as to what you as an individual can do about it are: As a householder you can ar- range ta have ail types of in- side work such as renovation, redecoration, repairs and other S tuck. . 0Witji last-minu shopping p AIRE'S A 18P FOR BUSY SANTA.. 0 If your gift-ist doesn't seem to any shorter, make a quick trip to B of M branch.
