At the convention a resolution
was passed to be submitted to the
sovernment that the same assist-
ance be given to men in other
useful lines of production as in
farming.

The co-operation with the com-
missions of other provinces was
also asked for. Fishing was
cited as an occupation that might
well be given aid in this province.

The tinding of immediate em-
ployment and provision of special
training were recommendations
inade by this board in 1915 and
these «objects have been accom-
plished in the last year or so.
There are also a number of other
matters which are to be taken up
by the commission and among
them is relief for widows and de-
pendents.
