Mills, R. E. Burns and H. C. Nickle, {reported at the regular weekly lunch- eon held in the oHtel Fronterac on | Monday, upon the proposal to take care of the situation, and presented |a comprehensive scheme by which |the members of the Kiwanis Club | will make a thorough canvess for {funds and at the same time take a | census of the entire city to discover | the actual conditons respecting un- | employment and the need of relief | | during the winter months. Each | Kiwanian has a district assigned to | him, and the work will start on Tues- day, December 27th and must be completed on Saturday the 31st. The funds will be turned over to the city unemployment relef committee to- gether with the information regard- ing the families and individuals in need. R. E. Burns Teor ing for me reife! committee, explained the adopted and gave detailed instruc- tions for the information of the workers, A plan of the city was subdivided into seventy sections, each | section containing from sixty to one hundred homes and a member of the Kiwanis club was assigned to make a thorough canvass of each. In some cases the section is worked by pairs. The returns will be handed in to R. E. Burns and William Bearance, who will, during the campaign, occupy an office'in the city hall. He stated that the British Whig and the Stand- ard were co-operating with the club and each day's results 'would be an- nounced and all subscriptions of $2 and over published. Mr. Burns pro- vided a card containing a map of the district to be worked and a book to be filled out With the information obtained and returned when the can- vass is completed, The information will be tabulated for the use of the city relief committee which will ad- { minister the funds during the winter. | Kingston | The Kiwanians will wear their bad- | | ges in a-conspicuous place in order | that the people may know the object | of their visits, W. Y. Mills, John McKay, Elmer | Davis and Mayor Nickle spoke on be- {half of the committee and urged the | importance of thoroughness in this |work. Elmer Davis said: "In my [view this is one of the most worthy { objects the Kiwanis Club could iden- | tify #tself with. It is ofi trial during {the present conditions here, and | mugt justify its existence by putting | this thing over, The situation'is the worst in a period of twenty-five years and people worthy of help, but de- barred by personal pride from mak- Jing their need known must be hunt- ed out and given help." Mayor Nickle spoke 'off condrtions as he knew them, and showed that they were. different from last winter when the locomotive works was. open and the city spent $14,000 on sewer construction, "At present the city can only take care of forty work- men a week and by changing them each week they are being carried along longer. A great many of them are faced with eviction by landlords fas they are in arrears for rents." Mayor Nickle urged upon all the im- | portance of Kingston handling its own situation and being independent of government contributions. Dr. R. J. Wilson said: "This is the biggest thing and the most hearten- ing thing I have-seen taken up by the citizens of Kingston, and I want to see this club put it over." (Ap- vlause.) A Job For Every Man, The principal speaker was Major methods | .| dorffer, the Year. department of "labor, | subject was "A Job | for Every Man, Prosperity for All." Major Weiss has made an exhaustive study of- the unemployment in the cities of Canada and he said that. in Kingston the situgtion was "not good, not bad, but not good." The work of the - Ontario employment | bureaus was reviewed and this show- | ed that in ouy cities there were large numbers of men in certain out-door occupations who were, each winter, | | forced out of work by climatic condi- } |tions, These men must Le taken | into consideration: This was not ! to be done by individual cities, but | jo the individual man 'in each city who must help out. All must fall in {vine and help if anything satisfactory | | was to be achieved. _ Merchants, | bankers, builders, farmers all must | know what the situation is for it is | a business problem, economic in | every sense of the word. ' A common- | sense view will bring ° results. Through the employment services of { Canada the superintendents are in a position to get into touch with every {orgamization and body that can stim- {ulate the movement along." i | Major Weiss spoke highly of the | work of Mr. Stroud, the local hgent. | | There are thirty towns to be dealt | with, and it is the work of the offi- cials to evenly distribute whatever | work is available, In Kingston there | are 1,200 men idle, two per cent. of | the population, and all of these | should by every. possible means be ! given work of some kind even if it | 1G. C. Weiss, | Toronto, whoee | The On- | ing the greatest tion in solving this problem. It is desirable to keep all loca] men in their own localities, No ideas are too insignificant to be overlooked for none is too .emall--the efforts of" every man "are valuable and every | men in the community is a most | valuable asset and must be kept -go- ing, even if the ejobs lasts but one | day or half a day of each week or | each month, The speaker congratu- lated Kingston uj what had been done here and &r-gea upon all to make the widest possible application of their efforts to provide employ- ment, It was something that requir- ed the help of every man capable of utilizing the services of another. At the conclusion of -the address President Frank Hoag tendered to Major Weiss a hearty vote of thanks. Ernest Sparks announced that ar- rangements had been completed by the Christmas basket committee by which one hundred and ten families would be provided with Christmas cheer. The baskets would contain articles of clothing, toys, fruil, con- fectionery, etc. The names were provided by the poor relief commit- tee and there would be no overlap- | ping of the work of any other or- | ganization. Dr. R. J. Wilson and H. E. Richardson told what was be- ing done by them outside of the Ki- wanis Club, The usual routine of the weekly luncheon was carried out and the guests were: George Revell, H. B. Card and A, Stroud. Marcus Obern- the gilent booster, was in- troduced by R. E. Burns in a most eugolisgic address, all of which was quite true, for Marcus is one of King- ston's most widely knowh business men. He was for many years asso- ciated with the Oberndorffer cigar factory which was opened in King- ston in 18567. Marcus is now agent for the Dodge Bros. motor vehicles, Chalmers and Franklin cars and has able assistants in H. B. Card and George Revell.
