Hensall Legion and Ladies' Auxiliary Entertain Families at Annual Picnic Employment conditions con- tinued buoyant in the Goderich area and throughout most of Huron County. according to figures released this week by C. M. Jutras, manager of the Goderich National Employment Service. At the end of June. 1965, 274 persons were registered for em- ployment with the Goderich NES. compared to 310 at the end of June, 1904. The de- crease applied to male appli- cants. with 70 fewer. .As anticipated, the influx of university and high school stu- dents into the labor market temporarily alleviated shortages of workers. There still remains, however, a good number of stu- dents, male and female, avail- able for the summer months. Mr. Jutras stated that in- creasd labor demands resulted from continued high employ- ment levels being maintained in local area firms. Construc- tion, farming, cannery opera- tion and the tourist trade were also greatly responsible for the noted increase in job opportun- ities. While labor require- ments were generally met, shortage of qualified skilled and semi -skilled applicants and seasonal workers for the tour- ist resorts occurred. Placement by the Goderich NES totalled 279 during June, 1965. compared to 108 during the same month a year ago.
