Agriculture, was present and This brie! survey serves ta il- lustrate the value o! a national service. No private service, no service confined' to a single la- cality or province, could possibly perform these functions Tbrough clearance not only employers but employees can have their needs satisfied. Tbey can feel that they are not nestricted by local or evcn regional boundaries in this pro- cess. This is a far cry from old meth- ods of obtaining employment. It is system as oppased ta haphazard effort. The f act that it existh ai-d functions is one o! the reas- ans why employers are gradually coming ta the conclusion that thei Commission's National Emplay- ment Service is their best organiz- ation in the 'employment f ield. St. John's A.Y.P.A. Discusses Function 0f The Church National Empboyment Service o! the Unemployment Insurance Commission, which is perhaps not !ully understood, is termed "clearance." This function de- rives its chie! importance from the fact that it opens up the whoJ.e a! Canada ta the employer in need o! workers or the worker seek- ing a job. Thus practical em- phasis is laid on the fact that the service ia truly national in its scope. The public is now sufficiently aware, after ten years o! opera- tion, that the obvious thing for an employer in need o! workcns or a worker ini need o! employ- ment is ta report bis or ber needs ta the nearest local office o! the National Employment Ser.vice. In doing this they are aware o! the fact that the local possibili- tics wili be exbausted in an ef- fort ta satisfy their need, should, this be necessary. They do flot always nealize that the efforts o! the Commission extend beyand the boundaries o! their particular locality. For purposes o! administration the couintry bas been divided into five regions by the Unemploy- ment Insurance Commission. The Atlantic Region, which originaily embraccd the three Maritime Pro- vinces but which was greatly en- harged when Ncwfoundland en- tcred Confederation, bas its headquarters in Moncton, N.B. The Province of Quebec consti- tutes another region with head- quarer in Montreal. Ontario extending as far west as the head of the- lakes and including the Lgreat industrial portioli o! the province is another region, its headquarters located ini Toronto. The Prairie Region, with head- quarters at Winnipeg, is the larg- est in area. It includes the ne- mainder of Ontario, the thrce Prairie Provinces and a portion of nonthern British Columbia. Finally the fifth negion, termed the Pacific, includes the remain- der o! British Columbia and bas its beadquarters in Vancouver. When an employer places an order at bis local office every ef- fort is made to f iii it locally. Us. uaily this can be done. On the 5other hand conditions do arise ai times making it impassible ta oh- tain the type o! worker locally. Then, if the employer wishes, the 3function o! clearance cames intc play. The onder is sent through- out wbat is called the first zone o! clearance including thase of- tfices flot fan distant froni the em- ployer's own local office.

The visitors were amazed'at thej complex machinery required forg the manufacture of automobile1 and truck tires. They were par-1 ticularly interested in the semi- automatic machines on which passenger tires are built every three minutes. After the tour was concluded, the boys were given refresh- ments and entertained with mav- les. Tours, such as this, are part of regular educational programme undertaken by Variety Vlage every Wednesday. Other plants which have been visited within the last few months are Neptune Thursday, Feb. 15, St. John's A.Y.P.A. met in the Parish Hall for a supper meeting which was prepared by Vi. McFeeters, Mrs. Warren Turner, Nel Parker, Mr. and Mrs. Bridgland and Fred Yates. The devotional period was held in the church in the form of Ev- ening Prayer. Rev.

Mr. Cowan was the last sur- viving member of the family of the late Mr. and Mrs. Robert Coxvan who settled in Clarke township, near what is now known as Cowanville. The deceased farmed for many years a haîf mile west of Orono, on the farmi now occupied by Milford Sherwin, before retiring ta Orono. For many years he was a suc- cessful ibreeder of Standard bred and roadster show horses. A wel]. known exhibitor at the Can- adian National Exhibition and the Royal Winter Fair, Toronto. He also showed at the Provincial Winter Fair at Guelph as well as local fairs. A fine judge of horses, for many years he was a member of the judging staff of the I3epart ment of Agriculture.

In 1931 Reg. Hopper nade a provincial report on # ional training for crippled chHi , and when the Variety Club o~ronto, was looking for some worthwhlle community .roect to support, Major Con Smythe, president of the Toronto Maple Leaf Hockey Team, directed the attention of the club to this report - thus Variety Village was founded in 1945. It is located on 13 acres of land.
