Unplaced applicants and unfilled vacancies (in brackets) in 31 Naâ€" tional Emp!o{mont Service offices througshout the Dominion at May 13, 1948, wore: Halifax, 3,269, (941); New Glasgow, 1,498 (52); in base metal mining.. Employâ€" ment of displaced persons has algo alleviated the shortage of railway maintenance workers. There is a considerable demand for all types of construction labor, although acâ€" tivities in this industry have been hampered by Iabor disputes in several Ontario centres. Labor disputes have also clouded: the Great Lakes shipping picture. Wholesale and retail trade remains steady. There are many openings In the Ontario region, there was 85,000 unplaced applicants and 26,000 unfilled vacancies at May 13. Applicants decreased bX nearly 10,000 since April 15, and indusâ€" tries in Ontario continue to indiâ€" cate increasing demands for workâ€" ers in t}\e face of a shortening sug)p]y of‘ practically all types of labor. Manufacturing firms are especially active, and the total working force of this industry is fren.ter than at any time since 945. Steel and coal shortages as a result of the coal strike in the United States are the only dark spots on the horizon. Only minor labor disputes have arisen since for the most part union agreeâ€" ments have been signed with the companies concerned after peaceâ€" ful negotiations. With logging opâ€" erations over, and driving well underway, sawâ€"mills are beginning a busy season. As agricultural acâ€" tivity proceeds, the labor shortage is becoming increasingly ag‘parent, although it is expected that the, continual arrival of immigrants will ralieve the shortage to some extent. . Immigrant labor has also been a great help to the mining industry. Althougg the demand for workers from the gold mines is not so great, there is still an acute shortage of underground workers Unfilled jobs on file at Employâ€" ment Service offices rose by 14,000 during thehrast month to number 57,000 at May 13, 1948. Most of this increase in labor demand was for male workers. In many cases, students are also helping to ease such shortages. Graduates from universities, and especially those â€" with _ technical training, have had no difficulty in finding permanent employment. In addition, _ many _ undergraduates have found temporary jobs in the summerâ€"active industries, In fact, Mr. Mitchell pointed out the incidence of unemployment in Canada during the two complete postâ€"war years of 1946 and 1947 was even less than that in the United States, and the American record itself has been outstanding. During these two years, unemâ€" pl?ment in Canada average three and two per cent respectively of the civilian labour force, The comâ€" garative figures for the United tates were four and 3.,5 per cent. At present, total employment in Canada is over 100,000 more than one year ago. Monthly wage and salary payments, too, has so far been considerably above last year‘s totals. And during the past month, Canadian industries have been ra‘)idly absorbing nearly all availâ€" flbfl manpower resources. These _ remarkably < favorable conditions are reflnc*ed in the job situation at National Employment Service offices. Accordingly, the number of â€" unplaced applicants registered for work at Employâ€" ment Service offices decreased by 35,000 in the past month. At May 13, 1948, applicants numbered 149,000, of whom 41,000 were women. Labor shortages are already apâ€" parent in some scctions of the country and in some industries. Immigrant workers are being diâ€" rected to areas where shortages are most persistent. . â€" Canadian workers continue to enjoy record levels of employment and income, Labour Minister Mitâ€" chell reported this week in his monthly statement on manpower conditions. Number of Unemployed Decreased By 35,000 Is Report Of Minister There are in Ontario at the end of 1947, ugpmximately 800,000 motor cars. I have heard it suggested that the CCF party would underâ€" write these cars at $6 each, giving a total sum of $4,800,000. In the whole of Canada claims, without adjustment costs amounted to $25,â€" 000,000. Ontario‘s share according to figures just released was exactly oneâ€"half. (Without adjustment expenses.) The average major claim today costs about $10,000. Four hundred and eighty per year would exhaust the fund. There is a death on the highway in Canada every five hours and someone is injured every twenty minutes. Recent statistical figures show that out of $40 milâ€" lion economic losses through automobile accidents only half were covâ€" ered by insurance. How far would $6.00 or three times that go towards paying these mounting losses. Maybe it would come out of your taxes so that you would be putting a premium on the other man‘s carelessness or hard luck ? Goiffg back to our original figures. If the average cost of auto elaims last year was 60% or more of the premium, will the CCF governâ€" ment be able to do what the companies have not been able to doâ€"make money or brea}( even on automobile underwriting ? s Look at the mounting government payrolls, consider how many people you know who work for a government or in the civil service and think hard if you can really find it in your heart to imagine that state control is cheaper than private o\vner‘fhip where men must be very efficient to stand the competition. m No, I am afraid that I can notrsee my way clear to vote for a party which in at least one of its platforms is obviously inadequate in its analysis. How do I know that they are not equally fallacious in their other concepts? The man on the street doesn‘t pay much attention to insurance statistics, If he would buy ?ne statistical issues of Canada‘s leadins insurance papers, Canadian Insurance or Canadian .Underwriter, an look at the automobile figures, he would soon see what a headache this business of nnderwritinqrautomobiles is,. The combined loss ratio for Canada shown is 5§2%. This is actual claims paid and does not allow for cost of adjusting losses. L;rfr companies employ a large claims office with many adjusters and while it is hard to average the cost of such services most people consider 8% a fair averageâ€"which would mean an average loss ratio of 60%. _ Private industry must be efficient or fall by the roadside. It has no back log of tax funds to fall back upon if its calculations fall short of the actual outlay. ____ & ing.

When the turbine revolves. it turns the core of a generator. A long time mgo someone found out that if vou turn a wire in front of a magnet, current is produced. The idea was developed into hydro electric power as we know it today. The gencrator is fiwiu. and the magnet is a series coils of wire around it. When the core turns, the current comes out. Recent cuts in hydro were due to It is connecsed directly. as a rule | to a generato®% which is another; large box situated directly above| the turbine in most cases. The turbine may be higher than a highâ€" ceiling room. as may be the generâ€"| ator. In the case of the Queenston power plant below Niagara Fails, the turbine, generator and conâ€"| necting "axle" are three storeys, high. .08 | This is how it all happens: Somgâ€" where far in Northern Ontario, snow and rain have fallen and then run off, in the form of water, into a watershed. Tiny streams have trickled into larger streams, and the larger ones in turn into a storâ€" age basinâ€"which mgy be either manâ€"imade or natural. A dam is often ‘built to mainâ€" tain the flow at the storage basin, and from the dam, a penstockâ€"or large pipeâ€"is siven a straight drop over the siue 01 & Imil or uain, or bored through the rock. At the bottom, a power plant is built. The penstock carried water from the the basin. lake or pondâ€"either artificial or created by the damâ€" ming up of the riverâ€"down to a turbine at the bottom. The turbine is a large metal box in which is contained a wheel. Around the! edges of the wheel are thousands of tiny metal blades. The water. with the force of the drop behind it, strikes these blades and makes the turbine revolve. | TORONTO (Special) â€" If the proposed chanzeover to 60 from 25â€" cycle power is carried out by the Ontario Hydro Electric Power Comâ€" mission, it means Ontagio will be able to interconnectâ€"or switchâ€" power from generating stations where there has been sufficient rain or snow{all to areas where there has not. Thus power shortâ€" ages would be avoided, for as an additional _ emergency . provision, Hydro could also draw power from districts where it is generated by. steam rather than water. Already the commission has made arrangeâ€" ments to buy 30,000 horsepower of this kind from a plant at Sarnia and is building another large one at Windsor just for this reason.

Deaville. This was a very inâ€" tereutins part of the Ero ram and Ken McClelland very ingly took a picture â€"of this presentation for future record. Mr. Freedman conâ€" gratulated Ed. upon his sudcess in winning the club championship and felt sure, knowing its players as well as he did, that the win was no walkover. To get a score of 10‘ points out of 11, with no losses, was a record of which Ed. could be justly proud. Not to be outdone, however, Berâ€" nard Freedman sprang his own surprise and after a somewhat "flowery talk‘ ‘and on behalf of the Queen City Chess Club presented to the secretary, Henry Loose, a token of the recognition of his club for the good work being done in the Weston Chess Club and the local Eress by said secretary. Even though caught off balance, Mr. Loose thanked him and his club for their very nice gesture of goodâ€" will, and felt that all members present would feel that this would also include themselves in the good wishes thus expressed by the Queen City Chess Club. Averell Robinson then moved a yery hearty vote of thanks to Mrs. T. L. Dougherty, who so graciously provided the splendid banquet for the enjoyment of the guests and members of the Weston Chess Club. Mrs. Dougherty very briefly and smilingly said, "You are ail was sure could do a great deal in dev-lopt‘lfiniood citizens, It taught one to >â€"one bad move was like/one bad .deed, it could have a sad finish,. He thanked the mover of the toast for his many kind reâ€" marks about himself and family and also for the kindly welcome to all the guests present. A presentation was made on beâ€" half of the members to Bernard Freedman by the president, who stated he wished him to know in some small tangible way that all were deeply apreciative of the many kindnesses and services he had so generously given to the club. Bernard thanked one and all, but seemed perturbed at being on the receiving end, it evidently beâ€" ing more in his line to be giving, which, while said to be more blessed, must of necessity be conâ€" sidered reciprocative. â€" Award Championship -WEt-fi‘ul n One which he felt was able to do its part: in creating another field Will Huristone at this stage enâ€" tertained the guests and members with a few musical numbers u&on the concertina and piano.
