THURSDAY, AUGUST 19, 1948 TPE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE THIRTEEN Five Million Canadians In Jobs, 82,000 Out, Survey Shows Yobs Increasing 100,000 Annually Bureau Reports Ottawa, Aug. 19 (CP)--Employment in Canada is being maintained at a high level, the Bureau of Statistics reported today. A survey conducted during the week ended last June 5 showed almost 5,000,000 Canadians had jobs. The exact figure was 4,948,000 of a total "working force" of 5,030,000. That left 82,000 out of work. The employment total -- 3,876,000 men and 1,072,000 women -- was an increase of 127,000 over the figure for the same week of 1947. The number of jobless persons was 80,000 less than in mid-February and 10,000 less than at June 1, 1947. The working-force total -- which ® includes civilians who have jobs or are looking for work -- was the second highest on record. The peak was in mid-August last year, when 5,080,000 Canadians were either em- ployed or seeking jobs. Statistics indicate total Canadian employment is growing at the rate of about 100,000 a year, the bureau sald. Employment in the Prairie provinces and the Maritime prov- inces "seems to be relatively stable but there is 8 markefi upward trend in the other regions." The survey on which the bureau's report was based was carried out during the last three weeks of June, covering "a scientifically-selected cross-section of the civilian popula- tion of Canada living outside of in- stitutions. "Approximately 40,000 households were interviewed, covering about two per cent of the population liv- ing in the 27 largest cities and one per cent of the rest of the people." All interviews were based on the week ended June 5. e June 5 estimate of 4,088,000 ns not in the labor force in- ded about 2,904,000 -- 71 per cent -- keeping house. Another 583,000 -- 14 per cent -- were going to school. The retired or "voluntarily idle" totalled 315,000, about eight per cent. Another six per cent or 272,000 were permanently unable or too old to work. The remaining 14,000 were "not in the labor market for other reasons", These are the total-employment figures, by regions, for thel ast three years: June 1, Maritimes 417,000 Quebec 1,366, Ontario Ml 1,748,000 Prairies ,007,000 | 981,000 B.C. 374,000. . 414,000 426,000 TOTAL' 4,702,000 4,821,000 4,948,000 Unemployment totals.for all Canada . at the same dates: J May 31, 1947 une 1, 1946 75,000 ,000 1,618,000 June's, 1948 64,000 16,000 18,000 TOTAL ... 126,000 91,000 82,000 The rcentage of the labor force pe! loyed at those dates: Unemploy June l, May31l, June}, 946 1947 941 Nonna 0 ht Norm wWwooowm od 1] | | 1 13 Are Rescued As Boat Upsets Iroquois, Aug. 19 -- (CP) -- An American army surveying party of six, one of them Gen.

And now Sweden, of all countries, has a "Kosenkina" case! North, Ameria had seen small countries communized by force, We had seen fearful purges in slave states. We had listened day after day to the Soviet's monoton- ous "Nyet" (No) as the veto was kurled into the United Nations ma- chinery. We had seen the brutal food blockade against the popula- tion of Western Berlin, But none of these important de- velopments had brought home Com- munism"s threat to our way of life so forcefully as has the tragic story of Mrs. Kosenkina. Through her we have visualized how Communism pursues the individual even unto death. : Russia has had the effrontery to accuse the United States govern- ment of having a hand in "kidnap- ping" Mrs. Kosenkina and two other Soviet school teachers in New York, 000 (Mr. and Mrs. Michael ' Samarine, who also have refused to return to Russia, Moscow "demands" that these unfortunates be turned over to the Soviet Union. Meantime the "Swedish Kosen- kina" case has broken, and is caus- ing a sensation throughout that country. Lydia Makarova, a 19-year- old Russian girl who has been liv- ing in Sweden four years, refuses to return to her native country des- pite repeated demands of the Rus- sian Embassy that she do so. Just why Moscow . wants to get hold of the girl is a mystery. She says she fled to Sweden in 1944 af- ter her mother died in Leningrad. She adds that she was considered a musica] prodigy and has been continuing piano study in Stock- holm, Anyway, a Swedish Foreign Of- fice spokesman states that the So- viet Embassy has asked repeatedly that the girl be sent back to Rus- sia, He says the Foreign Office re- fused the requests and warned the Embassy to "leave the girl alone." As in the American case, the Rus- sians claimed that the young wo- man was being "kept prisoner." Well now, the significance of this "Swedish Kosenkina" case lies in the fact that Stockholm has been punc- tilious in its efforts to maintain good relations with Russia. Sweden, of course, is sitting right under Russia's big guns"ond has to tread circumspectly, However, the Swedes are jealous of their sovereignty, and they now are experiencing a drasnatization of Communism's threat to man- kind's bill of rights.

Fred Hawkes, 64, missing from his Montreal home since April 9, was killed almost instantly when the basement boiler exploded Wed- nesday while the men were drain- ing it. Both men were thrown 10 feet when water and steam backed up into the boiler and exploded with a blast that shook the 55-suite Erns- cliffe Apartment building at Sher- bourne and Wellesley Streets. Sec- tions of the 500-pound boiler struck both men on the head. Firemen equipped with masks, who fought through scalding steam into the basement, found Gibbs crawling towards the door.

Port Dover, Aug. 19--(CP)--Two men and a boy, missing 36 hours in a 16-foot motor launch on wind- swept Lake Erie were rescued late Wednesday by a fishing tug after their motor went dead. Don Ferris, pilot of the tug, found the trio 18 miles offshore, waving shirts and lifebelts in an attempt to attract attention of three aircraft and two dozen boats searching for them, . The three are Rev. Gordon Cro- foot, ministér of First Baptist Church in Simcoe; Gordon Misner of Simcoe and his nine-year-old son, Joe. With them was Joe's brown cocker spaniel, Rusty. Mr. Misner said they were on a fishing trip off Turkey Point in Long Point Bay when the motor went dead, so they anchored in 30 feet of water. They spent Tuesday night and most of Wednesday hud- dled in the boat while the wind sent waves spilling over their craft. "I didn't really know much about fishing when I preached a sermon on fishing a few weeks ago," said Mr. Crofoot. "But L know somee thing about it now."
