Richards BOX sa ORONO Te1ephone $7-r-18 The prablem of the f irst job is engag- lng the attention of many young people at present. Their parents are also vitally concerned in fiding the correct answer. A decade ago bath parents and young people attempted to salve this problem withaut any expert assistance. There was none to be had. This situation bas now changed very definitely. At this time of the year, preparations are made by the National Empoment Service of the Unemploy- ment Insurance Commission to help a large number of young Canadians wlio graduate or leave school ta find suitable employ- ment. The NES in counselling those who enter the labour market for the first time, assists them in finding employment accord- ing ta their abilities. In order ta satisfactorily perform this work, the National Employment Service has a number of well qualified counsellors wha, visit schools from September ta June, deliver Informative taiks ta students and thoroughly discuss with them labour market conditions; and also inform them as ta how ta approach employers. In May Legally, the husband is the head of the house and the pedestrian bas the right of way. Either is comparatively safe if he doesn't try to exercise these right. P'rom the number of applications received by the Town Clerk for the position of Dog Catcher one is inclined to think there la very littie unemployment in Bowmanvjlle. When did May 24th become known as Dominion Day? In the T. Eaton Co. advt. ini the Pembroke Standard it had mn large display letters: "Store Closed Dominion Day, Monday, May 24th". Tut! Tut! Didn't the Ottawa government some time ago put the kibosh on the word "Dominion"~ in and about Canada? Even July lst now is just referred to as another holiday. Here's a minister of the gospel who is a zeal student of hurnan nature. In addreasing the graduating students at the United Thea1ogica1 College at Montreal last week Rev. C. E. J. Cr a gg said: "There's flot much prospect of a 40-hour week in the ministry." Furthermore, he doubted if anything of real importance was ever atcomph8,hed on the basis of a 40-hour week. Looking over the reports of the Woodbirie opening in the Toronto papers we wondered, after looking at the write- ups and pictures an the social page and the sport page, of this event, which was the greatest attraction the ladies in their gay upring outfits or the winning horses. Neyer having been at the Woodbine races we wouldn't know. We spend our money oliahly in other ways. Looks as if more farmers will have ta eut out eating margarine as well as devise mneans af getting other people to eat more butter. A despatch from Ottawa says the government is offering its 33,000,000 pound butter stockpile to the trade at 55% cents a pound-2½ cents below what it paid for it. In other words the taxpayers, through the government, are stuck for $1,000,000 loss on butter on the deal. Private bus-. mness would go bankrupt on such shenan- igans. Public opinion is a powerful weapan, and the waiy the two Unions 'are jockey- ing around like a jack-in-the-box ta cee which one will wield the big club on the grandstand show at the Canadian National Exhibition bas about gone the limit as far as the public is concerned. And it certain- ly isn't helping the cause af unionism with bath unions carrying on in their irresponsible consideration of the people's interests. When drinking your cup of coffee to- rnorrow morning just bear in mind that the government does mighty well out of the high coffee prices. It charges a 10 per cent sales tax on the duty-paid value of the imported coffea. Last July the duty- paid price was 58.7 cents, and now it is about 92 cents. The government cut thus bas gone up from less than six cents ta more than nine cents. This illustrates the unfairness of a sales tax in a rising market. The Canadian Chamber of Commerce is the national federation of Boards of Trade and Chambers of Commerce in Canada. It exists to promate co-operatian with which in Émrpomtstd fh. .wmvile News, the Newcude. hdependent rrà. nd Th» Oro=o News !Oth Yom ai Contlnuous Service ta the Town ai Bowmnvlll. <md Durham County AR ZNDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER and June, these students are registere( with the National Employment Service foi employment.

A battery af tests applied by qualifieè technicians is available ta the counselloi and can be used when it is felt that theý may be helpful in clarifying certair aspects ai the counselling process. OncE this is completed, the NES counsellor is i: a position ta refer the best qualified and most suitable candidates ta employers. Employers seeking suitable material as well as youth entering the labour market, are both assisted by this service, t is a considerable improvement over the haphazard methods ai years gone by. among these arganizatians and ta encour- age domestic and foreign commerce. It la intended ta secure co-aperative action in advancing the common purposes ai its members, unlformity and equity in bus- iness usages and laws, the proper con- centration ai public opinion upon questions affecting the financial, commercial, civic, agricultural and industrial interests ai the country at large. The Statesman bas been harping away for years that county councils in Ontario should be discontinued as the first step in over-gaverning and over-taxing the people. We are pleased ta find Ex-RKeeve W. C. Woods ai Preston is ai the sanie mind. In addressing the Ontario Municipal Association last week ha contended the caunty system should be eliminated as soon as possible, since the trend towards municipal aperation is sfripping counties ai industrial assessment. Maybe it is too much ta expect the government ta take action on this matter just now with its efforts being concentrated on cleaning up the Dept. ai Higbways ,mess. Out in the thriving City af Peter- borough the Trades and Labor Council (A.F.L.-T.L.C.) is taking strong abjection ta students selling magazines, claiming such pubications should be sold througb the usual retail channels. We are inforni- ed sanie students bave counteracted by claiming that being the case union leaders shauld insist on their members sticking ta their own jobs in off bours and flot butt into othar jobs foreign ta their awn trade. It's the aid story ai "people in glass bouses shouldn't throw atones", or they sbould at least pull the blinds sa the publie couldn't see what is going an inside. We'va been folhowing the movement in sevaral' towns in Ontario ta keep the stores.open Friday nights instead af Satur- day nights. The idea bas been far froni unanimous sa maybe Bowmanville merch- ants better go on as they bave been with sanie keeping open bath nights "for the canvenience af their custoniers". Here 'a how the Fergus News-Record describes the off-again-on-again mess the merchants in their town gat inta: "Last week, nearly ail stores were open Friday night, sanie ai the marchants baviidg decided ta ignore a vota 4t the Retail Marchants' Association ta open Saturday nigbts this year. They decided ta open Friday anyway, and most af the Saturday-nighters apened on Friday night, toa, and then again on Saturday night". One ai the siliest things sean on the main street thase days la the local police carrying a long stick marking auto and truck tires lest they are parked there more than an bour. We don't blame the police for induhging In this bit ai tri-waekhy axercise, for they are only carrying out orders anacted by the town council. Can't sac that it la helping the traffic situation any. In fact, it is craating considerable ill will toward the tawn whan country folks find thay are "soaked" $2.00 for the privihage ai shopping with local marchants. Oi course, thera are sanie storakeepers who abuse or aggravate the situation by laaving their car in front ai the shops ahi day long. It's ta be hoped the Retail Branch af the Chamber ai Commerce wil see that such a practice is stopped. So This is Democracy ? The scandal at Camp Petawawa ai p utting horses on the pay roll of the Federal Government. The scandai ai considerable magnitude concerning the Ontario Departmant af Highways. Shot-gun politica ai the most brazen type and from the top brasa at Ottawa, whereby the Senate are suppased ta bave demanded the sanie increase ai $10,000 indemnity which the Members ai Pari- iament were ta receive - or else there'd be no increase for the MP's. Then there is the case in the New- foundland Govarnment where Premier Smallwood's confidantial financial and economia wizard Valdinannis is under arreat and suppasedly for misappropriatian ai huge suma af public funds. Al ai which looks as if aur two major political parties are hiding behind the cloak ai demnocracy hoodwinking the pub- lic in carrying on the peop1e's business in such a careless manner. Of course nisybe it's the people's fault they don't take a greater interest in goverfiment tafiairs and demand a reckoning of their representat- ive&.

Again it is flot a lack of knowledge but the inability of statesmen ta give the truth political application that is pre- venting world recovery. The people of the United States, Great Britain, Canada, and other trading countries know that the policies af the United States have macle pos- sible the survival af millions of Europeans, and given themn vital aid in reconstruction. They also know that unless the United States can and will buy as much or more than she seils, adequate world trade is impossible. The barriers ta world recov- ery are in the minds flot in the hearts of the American people. They cannot believe what they see. Although every state in the union accepts goods from other states in payment for goods they have sold ta them, Americans are thrown into a political panic when gaods in payment corne in quantity from another country. They have not become accustom- ed ta two-way international trade. They put pressure on nations receiving U.S. aid ta reduce or remove trade barriers but they cannot put the same policies into effect between the United States and its customers.
