A real effort by those needing work done in the immediate future is réquired by those who are in'a ‘position to help create winter employment.) Minister of Labor Michiel Starr in a recent mes- sage pointed out that: “There is a time for everything and winter is really the best time for doing many of the things that we traditionally put off until spring. “There is logic behind the winter work campaign being conducted in your ‘community. As in other communities... this is a campaign to establish a more even pattern as between stmmer and winter by enlisting the support of government, business, indus- try, trade unions, and_ individual. householders. Under- employment of our labox force during the winter months and over-employment. during the summer ‘involves many direct and indirect costs. “Remember that when everybody works, every-_ body benefits. Your business should benefit from the improvement in winter business conditions gen- erally which will result if the:: campaign in your: conimunity achieves its objective.” In other words the minister of labor is saying “Do It Now—Why Wait for’ Spiting.” Information as how to help the winter work campaign can be ob-»: tained from the local Nationdl- Employment Service.’ tee tt ‘ i indepriaent’ daily newspaper devoted to the upbuilding of Prinee Ripert ment, Ottawa Victoria Rep ort . by J.

One method woilld have been to appoint a Committee of the Legislature, to examine the charges.
