N.E.S. OUTLINES

During the •Months of .lannarY,
February and March, we in caiv.
ada hear more about unemploy-
ment than at . any other time in
the entire year:... During the late
'spring, • summer :and . autumn
there is . comparatively little of
this complaint. .
The reason, of 'course; is. Can-
ado's climate; With the corning Qf
winter certain industries, which
inthe other seasons produce a
large' quantity, of "' 'dinployrnent,

what' is termed'T�ie, result' , >S ,
"seasonal unemployment", Can,-
ada' has a certain; .amount' .of it
every year. •This year it is great-
er; 'than' in recent years. because,
woods activities .in certain parts
of, the .country are 'also ;reduced..
The .wo, s have g
en'eraly :taken
careOf proportionof thelabor
thrown .out
of eniployir}ent,'by the;
slowing dowii of . other industry.,
' At 'any rate, the 'condition is, a
temporary one, and National Em-,
ploy7nent officers feel that it can
be taken; care of if communities
across Canaa. Will
do something.
h
ing,

-
if yon
af. to ent ;Offices haVe been
•
instructed to prosecute' a "' cam-
pai& designed oto stimulate tem-.
porary` employment'• wherever
.possible.. The , idea is 'thatmany;
of ushave work which' can . be
done now':but, which for'; some
reason ° or otter . is usually • ,post-.
poned until • the 'spring, or even
summer. Such .j;abs as redecorat-
ing the
edecor;at-ing:the home,. repairing,and re
conditioning 'machinery & 'build
ings, etc., • can frequently be un
• dertaken in winter.
A number of 'arguments are,
•advanceccin favor 'of. this object
ive, Of course ` 'it is;. abvious to
an .bod ' who: thinks' the•: matter
over that unemployment is,,a diad.,
thing in any community. It does
no good to anybody, in the; corn
munity,' and it ni,ay. do a,' 'great
deal ` of harm.- The ` unemloyed

There ' is, however,. another
angle . One of • the problems in
connection with • 'getting • work
done in -;the spring and surnn er.:
arises' •out. of the ,shortage ;of cap-
able workmen. At. times it' seems
impossible, ' ,partrcti'1ai Ty in ` view'
of the demand .for various s
yA
of 'construction Ito get qdualifi
workmen. It : is "argued that snore
men: -are ' available, now ` than..: at'
•any time in the year and that
they are eager for :.work. Any-
one 'who:•has jobs to';xdo can feeh..
thatthe-chance 'of obtaining cap,.
able help now is much better
Shari it : will be later on
v It is obvious that there •are
certain types .of work that: can-
not be 'done in. winter •in Canada.
On the other hand it may be -that
Many of us are holding `back.; on
work, Which could.. be done as
well as at any other tithe. -All
that the. National. Employment
Service urges is that we : go. ahead
and de :this type ; ,oi ` w:ork. -The
request:_seerns. a• reasonable one.
After, all the success of.our com-•
munity depends really on ,our ce
operation in doing those things'
