Tata Near Hyman 'For Winter Unemployment figures for the Osha- wa area climbed slightly during the past month, and appear to be on the verge of hitting their winter peak. A downward trend is expected to be- gin shortly, but it will be a gradual decline unless local residents co-oper- ate in speeding it up. - * The Oshawa office of the National Employment Service made little head- way in handling the flow of applicants during January, according to manager Norman Hodgson. Biggest headache was the weather and its effect on building trades. With the mercury quivering in 'the bottom of the ther- mometer most of the time, construc- tion work has ground almost to a halt. Because of this, Mr, Hodgson says, In the summer, when de- ters there will be considerable delay in having the work done, when it con- flicts with vacations or other plans. "In the winter there is a better chance of getting jobs done when it is personally convenient. Also, the jobs done in the winter often receive more attention and can be better planned and more economical in some in- stances," Mr. Hodgson stressed the fact that persons who need work done can help themselves, and at the same time help the. community by having it done immediataly, 3,389 GET BENEFITS" The number of persons registered for jobless benefits at the end of January was 3,389, as compared with 8,047 in December. There were 8,378 persons: looking for work at this time Of the current total of un- placed applicants, 1,088 are women. Hiring at General Motors and the feeder plants was fairly steady for the first two weeks of January, Mr. Hodg- son sald, but it fell off during the rest of the month, and is not expected ' to, resume for another three or four weeks, FARM LABOR A slight intrease was noted in the demand for farm labor. Leather, iron castings," aircraft: parts and glass manufacturing plants in the area re- mained steady. Production of tele- vision sets at one Ajax plant has been resumed following a lengthly inter- ruption. : A bright spot in the building trades ~ picture was the Board of Education's announcement that it has approved construction of a ¥150,000 public school in the city. The usual January slump retail trade was less pronounced than it has been a number of years. The fall-off in sales that normally follows the Christmas rush was negligible, and 'some stores have even placed orders for additional sales help.
