E. Douse, the officer in charge of the Cobalt office, before a meeting of the Kiwanis Club in the silver town. Mr. Douse not only told the meeting some of thé inside workings of his own office, but. sketched the work of the whole institution and gave facts and figures which showed that the service, inaugurated in 1917, dustrial life of the nation. The service originally started, |Mr. Douse said, to secure men |for'the munition factories in the |days of the war, but the govern- ment found it so useful that they |decided to continue it, one of the |chief reasons being the desire to protect the working classes from exploitation by the private em- ployment agencies, in the con- jduct of which there were many Jabuses, although no doubt some were conducted honorably. The service conducted absolutely free, so far as the working class is concerned, and. the cost of maintanence is borne jointly by the dominion and provincial goy- ernments. | is The province of Ontario has 31 employment bureaus, distributed throughout all sections; the other provinces maintain offices as fol- jlows: Nova Scotia 4, New Bruns- wick 3, Quebec 8, Manitoba 3, Saskatchewan, 10, Alberta 5, and British Columbia 11. "While the Cobalt office was established largely to deal with |mining work", Mr. Douse said, \"mining is no longer our long |suit, nor has it been for some jyears. The staple industry 1s liogging, and it is the failure of jthe logging industry this year |that has caused so much unem- ployment. +The decline in the minng industry is largely respon- jsible for the number of young |men around 'Cobalt who do noth- jing! They would in the old days hay e been absorbed into the jmines, beginning as helpers and }muckers, 'but it is a me lancholy fact that they cannot do logging work and Saar no inclination to try, but just hang around for work on the roads. In the early spring of last year some 90 bush- men had to be. sent for from North Bay." The speaker told of the order for 10,000 men to work on the Trans-Canada highway, which he said was probably the Jargest order ever placed with an 'em ployment service. At the time he spoke, nearly the total number had been sent to the various points at which the work was be- ing carried on, "without an ac- cident more serious than the fall- ine of a workman out of a top berth on the train and spraining his ankle." | Mr. Douse conciuded his talk with the statement that the au thorities of the United States who had investigated the Canad- ian system, were amazed at its thoroughness and efficiency and were remodelling their employ- ment service along the same lines. Tried to Jump Crack and Got Cold Dip in the. Lake Eugene Legare of Guigues, lgot a cold dip in the lake early this week when he ttied to jump across a crack in the ice near his |home town. He was on his way | | | | jacross to Haileybury and _ the accident happened when he was not far from shore at his home town, where the water was not very deep. He went in up to his armpits, but with the assistance of a companion was able to scramble out on to the solid ice jand suffered nothing worse than |discomfort. He made the trip }across later. It is stated that there is about five inches of ice over the wide section of the lake here. Local men have walked to Burnt Island without difficulty, although a few cracks are visible from this side. A granite quarry at Peninsula Harbor, on the north shore of Lake Superior, is being develop- ed and it is believed that the red and black granite available in enormous tonnage will eventual- ly take the place of that imported from European countries.

This building is lo- cated at the north side of the fil- tration plant, near the lake. Actual work on the harbor improvements has been held up on account of the lack of snow for roads to get out timber and stone for the foundation work on the breakwater. The ice is scarcely thick enough on the bay yet to work on and this has also been partly responsible for the delay. Former Minister of Health Hon. Dt. Forbes Godfrey, form- er Minister of Health in the Pro- vineial Cabinet, died yesterday evening in Toronto, according to a news broadcast over the radio last night. He had been ill for some weeks, but it was believed that he was recovering. Dr. Godfrey had for many years taken a prominent part in the public life of the province as a strong supporter of the Con- servative party. A few years ago 'he visited Haileybury in the course of an election campaign.
