Committees will be formed to survey the principal .fields of employment such as the industries to ascertain their capacity to provide employment. The' possibility of establishment of new industries here in connection with the handling, processing and distribution of the natural products which abound soTichly in the district will have to be investigated. The newly organized local council will have the opportunity to do much not only in assisting in the rehabilitation of men and women in their readjustment after the war but in exploring the possibilities of opening new fields of employment here all of which would be of benefit to the whole economy of the community. The success or otherwise of the effort will depend to large extent on the accomplishments of those wlio will be assigned to the various committees.

Though the part we play is small in comparison, can any one of us turn our backs, on them and say, "I've done my share you don't need my help." They do need your help and the more you help, the quicker they can get their dangerous part of the job over with and be back home again.
