, . Lahhr Minister Sm Big Banana i For University Personnel In St Reasons given by tho trade publication for the big gain last year (Nor 1950 are; the further in- crease in population; the increasos in prices; and the huge amount of money provided by the value of goods produced and services. Ot-.- tawa places the latter figure at $21 billion against approximately $18 In 1941, the last census year for which complete statistics are available, The Dominion Bureau of Statistics showed sales to haw been $567,310,900. So in the 10 years they have almost trebled. Since 1951 is, too, a census yi-ar. definite figures will sooner or later be available, but not likely tor some months. Sales of $1,608,000,000 in 1951- the greatest in history-are esti- mated for grocery and market store retailers in Canada in an article in the current issue of Can- adian Grocer. Increase over 1950 is placed at between 15 and 16 per cent, or approximately $220,- 000,000. Editor B. T. Huston cal- culaies further that of this huge total independents obtained 628 per cent and chains (operations of 4 units or over) 37.2 per cent. In addition to the jobs uncovered so tar by the questionnaires. about 100 employers stated they would need graduates but were unable, at this time, to specify in what num~ bers. Included amorg the total jobs for graduates were requests for 250 Bachelor of Commerce traduates, 170 mechanical vngin- The Minister explained that the job of bringing together employ- ers and graduates and undergradu- ates involved eeveral months' work by the National Employment Ser- vice Ind the Department of La- bour. A large proportion of the jobs needed would be turned up by the questionnaire..but these would be supplemented by the openings uncovered by the direct efforts of employer relations personnel of the NES. The Executive and Professional Division of the National Employ- ment Service operates offices on the campuses of the universities of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, Sir George Williams Col- lege, Laval University, and the University of Montreal, while at other universities Employment Service liaison officers work in co-operation with university staffs to provide a service between students and employers.

Bachelor of Commerce graduates taking business posts would get an ‘average of about 8225 a month, Bachelor of Arts graduates about 8200, and graduates in agriculture from 8200 to 8225. Depending, of .course, on the varying factors 1from one business, to another, grad- uates might be offered less or more ‘than these averages. Chartered Accountant firms were offering posts to Bachelor of Commerce ‘graduates who were to continue studying for their CA degree average starting salaries of $125 per month. These firms were often willing to take Bachelor of Arts graduates seeking their CA degree at an average starting salary of $100 per month. The trade paper also claims that gow-rnxnent credit restrictions aid- ed the grocery trade. Many who did not feel they could advance 50 per cent of the cost of a motor cur, a rMrigevator, or a range, had money to spend for foods and allied growl-y items. It further points to the great improvement in store appearance by the pro- gressive food merchants of Can- ada making thorn more and more Many have the impression that the gain dollar sales by 15 or 16 inviting to the public for personal shopping. per cent was due almost entirely to price increases. But Canadian Grocer points out that grocery pricvs today have not gone up morn than 'ir, per cent over a year ago. So the physical volume is up about 8 per cent. Separating the $1,608,000,000 sales for all Canada into provincial figures, the paper estimates a total of $675,000,000 tor, Ontario retailers; $460,000,000 forlQuebec; About 2,600 more R r a d u a t e a would return to university for post-graduate work.
