MISSIONARY SPEAKERS Rev. and Mrs. J. Harper, who will represent the South Africa General Mission at the Missionary Conference in Cal vary Baptist Church tonight. They have spent seven years in Nyasaland doing education- al and evangelistic work and also spent some time in Rhode- sia. Following tonight's service there will be a panel discus- sion featuring all the mission- aries in attendance at the con- ference. and came to the service looking for their first jobs he was their first contact. As placement officer for the handicapped Mr. Blatter worked in close co-operation with Simcoe Hall, the Ontario Hospital in Whitby and welfare agencies. FINAL PLACEMENT His last placement of a handi- capped person was a man with two wooden legs. The agency was able to place him with a local wholesale firm as a night clerk checking invoices. "We concentrate on what a handicapped person has to offer," Mr. Blatter says, "then it is usually not difficult to sell him to an employer." One of Mr. Blatter"s main jobs has been looking after veterans. Fourteen years after the war, there are still numbers of them, he says, who have problems of rehabilitation and domestic troubles. He has counselled them and if they find it difficult to get work they have been referred to him. If they needed money he tried to get them help through the services' benevolent funds, Certain immigrants knowledge of English were sent to Mr. Blatter, REHABILITATION WORK Another responsibility of his has been to place people coming out of penitentiaries and reform schools. He has counselled them and found them somewhere to stay and registered them for employ- ment. "We alwavs advise employers that they have records. Once the employre knows it, it makes no difference what anyone else might say," Mr. Blatter said. In the last few years he has placed seven men discharged from Kingston Penitentiary. "It was difficult for them at first to settle down, but now they are working well and all seven are still in the jobs we found for them." Boys coming from reform schools have been a bigger prob- lem for Mr. Blatter. So many of them were repeat- ers, he says. They started steal- ing small things and generally misbehaving. From his experience over the last few years, Mr. Blatter makes several observations: STANDARDS RISING Employers are raising their and it is no longer children go to college." with mo ; Mr. Blatter said, he had never found that immigrants were dis- criminated against in Oshawa. CAME FROM ENGLAND Mr. Blatter came to Canada in 1920 from England. His first seven years in the country he spent working in a factory in Montreal as an assistant super- visor. In 1927 he came to Oshawa and worked for General Motors of Canada Limited as a tool and die maker for i6 years. He left the company in 1944 to join the National Employment Service in Oshawa. His job has been a very satis- tiring now when he could work for another four years, because his health is deteriorating. Mr. Blatter and his wife will leave Oshawa and settle in the home thev have near Daytona Beach in Florida. He is looking forward to fishing and boating and working on his hobbies, woodwork and garden- ing. Out Calendars Group Gives [ome tute and N. A. Sisco of Donevan Collegiate Institute.

Emergency Evacuation Plan Cut The lower part of Ontario County, including Pickering, Whitby and East Whitby town- ships are no longer expected to evacuate in a civil defence emer- gency, Col. F. S. Wotton, co- ordinator for Civil Defence in Ontario County, said Wednesday. This was the only change that might affect the County as a re- sult of recent federal and pro- vincial meetings on civil defence where a number of civil defence functions were reassigned. Planning functions were now shared by the Emergency Measures Organization and the Department of National Defence, Col. Wotton said. The change of plan for Ontario County was a result of this. The new plans appeared to be cutting down on the numbers of people to be evacuated, he said. Col. Wotton said large scale evacuation in the face of radio activity fall out seemed to have more disadvantages than advan- tages. He said he had not yet re- MANY HAPPY RETURNS Dr. George W.

Another problem being faced is the Indian's preference for clean white - collar jobs, .a lingering legacy of colonial rule. Even to- day many Indian engineers would rather direct work from a desk than dirty their hands on the job.
