SEASON Bureau' of Statistics Reports 2,580 More Jobs on November 1 -- Quebec, Maritimes and Prairie Provinces Record Gains • Ottawa,—Employment in Canada showed 937,482 persons on ,the pay- roll of reporting employers on No- vember 1, an increase of 2,580 as compared with October 1, the Dom- inion Bureau of Statistics announ- ced recently, in the Maritime and Prairie Provinces and Quebec the tendency was upward. Losses were recorded in Ontario and British Col- umbia. A total of 8,978 firms throughout Canada reported for November 1, the bureau states. For Ontario, 394,909 worker. were shown on the payrolls on November 1 by 3,592 employers reporting as compared with 399,166 on October 1. Firms in Quebec showed their sev- enth consecutive monthly increase. This occurred chiefly in logging, -which was exceptionally active, while there were also gains in mining, ship- ping and trade. On the other hand, manufacturing, steam railway trans- portation, building, highway and rail - After Operation She Grew Fat And Became Short -Winded A letter just received from a wo- man states that she is writing in thanks for the benefit she has re- ceived. Her letter goes on:— "About n:"About 12 months ago everybody remarked how fat 1 was getting. I turned the scale at 196 lbs. 1 was fed up at getting so fat, and it made me short-winded. Why they noticed it more was because 1 was getting fat slowly since 1 had an operation for appendix. 1 went hack to the hospital, and the doctor said most women get fat after that opera- tion. 1 had tried everything l knew of to try and get slim, so I thought 1 would give liruschen Salts a trial. 1 started at first to take half the dose prescribed, in my first cup of` tea. .Nine months ago, 1 turned the scale at 196 lbs., and at the time of writing 1 go 178 lbs. 1 feel better than 1 have felt for a long time."— (Mrs.) H. The formula of Kruschen repre- sents the ingredient salts of the min- eral waters of those European Spas which have been used by generations of over -stout people to reduce weight. Gently, but surely, Krus- chen rids the system of all fat -form- ing food refuse, of all poisons and harmful acids which give rase to rheumatism, headaches, and many other ills. Nova Scotia Gold Start Development Of Tangier Group Nova Scotia Gold Mines Limited have started actual development of !their property at Tangier, Nova Sco- tia. In a long distance call, Mr. A. L. Schneider, engineer in charge of op- erations at Tangier, advises that liv- ing quarters for the preliminary staff are completed and that he expects this week to have between 40 to 60 men at work constructing the dams for the Hydro Plant. He estimated that it will take him 60 to 90 days to do this work and to have the plant in readiness for operations. All generat- ing machinery mill equipment, etc, is already in. In the meanwhile development of the Caribou property of the Company is in the hands of Consolidated Min- ing and Smelting.

SEASONAL DROPS Within the manufacturing gl'oup, the leather, lumber, vegetable food, pulp and paper and textile divisions showed contractions, in some cases of a seasonal character; iron nand steel factories, however, recorded heihtened activity. The 2,143 co-operating employers enlarged their staffs by 5,338 persons, bringing them to 208,364 on Novem- ber 1. Employment was in greater volume than on the same date in 1933, when general improvement has also been indicated. Employment in. Ontario showed a seasonal decline, which exceeded the average loss indicated in the years since 1920. An advance ever the pre- ceding month had been noted on No- vember 1 of last year, but the index then was lower by over 12 points than on the date under review, when it was 100.6. • There was improvement on Novem- ber 1, 1934, in logging, metallic ore mines, building construction hotels and retail and wholesale trade, but manufacturing as a whole, shipping and railway and highway pulp and paper, textile, chemical and electrics' apparatus division;, were brisker, while vegetable food, lumber, tobacco! and beverage and electric current' plants showed losses. INTERESTING FIGURES The increase in employment in the Prairie Provinces on November 1 was especially interesting in that it was contrary to the usual seasonal movement indicated in the years since 1920, Return were compiled from 1,329 firms having 121,460 em- ployees, as against 120,228 on Oc- tober 1. Coal mining, Logging, manufactur- ing, railway tanrsportation and building afforded considerably more employment; on the other hand, com- munications, railway construction, and local transportation and storage showed contractions. The gain in the manufacturing group occurred mainly in animal food and iron and steel plants. The general though moderate expansion in the prairies contrasts favorably with the decline noted on November 1, 1933, when the index was slightly lwer. A further decrease in employment was recorded in British Columbia; the staffs of the 925 emipioyers furnishing returns aggregated 78,- 334, compared with 79,296 in the pre- ceding month. The reduction oc- curred almost wholly in manufactur- ing, there being important seasonal losses in food factories, together with a large contraction in iron and steel, Transportation and railway construction alka showed a decline. On the other hand, highway` construc- tion was decidedly more active. Em- ployment was brisker than on Novem- ber 1 of last year, when greater shrinkage had been noted; the in- dex then stood at 84.0, as compared with 94,1 at the latest date. FURTHER IMPROVEMENT There was a further improvement in the situation in the Maritime Provinces on November 1. Most of the gain took place in logging, but manufacturing mainly in vegetable food, iron and steel and electric cur- rent works. While mining, railway transportation and building construc- tion were also brisker. On the other hand, lumber mills, shipping, high- way and railway construction re- 1 leased employees, the losses on high- way work being most pronounced. Re- turns were received from 629 em- ployers, with 74,415 workers on their payrolls, or 1,229 more than at the beginning of October.

Merit •! Health .'Effects of School Methods on Children's Personalities To Be Studied. The personality problems of child- hood are in too many cases poorly handled in homes and schools today, • according to observations by the National Committee for Mental Hygiene. As a result, it reports, weaknesses that might be corrected are sometimes aggravated until in later life they develop into important handicaps or, in extreme cases, into serious ailments. This problem is now to be studied by the committee, especially as it applies to the selection and train- ing of teachers. Funds have been supplied for a preliminary year's work by the Carnegie Corporation. The investigation has been projected in the belief that co-operation be- tween mental hygiene specialists and educators might bring to light new ways of correcting conditions that are unfavorable to children's mental health. It will be carried on under the di- rection of an educator, with asso- ciated psychiatrists who have spe- cialized in child guidance. PRESENT SCIENTIFIC OPINION "Noteworthy advances have been made during recent years in gain- ing insight into many tpes of men- tal maladjustment. Valuable con- tributions in regard to these prob- lems have been made by child -guid- ance clinics, laboratory nursery schools, college mental hygiene clinics and through psychiatric and psychological studies. These inves- tigations are furnishing us with data concerning the factors that are important in personality devel- opment: data that can be used with advantage in formulating preven- tive programs. "We now possess scientific evi- dence to warrant the conclusion that many mental disabilities have their origin in childhood and have! been aggravated by conditions and practices in the school and home, such, for instance, as mishandling of what seemed to be minor beha- vior and emotional problems; lack of opportunities for the develop- ment of avocational interests and skills; lack of understanding of child nature and the requisites for mental health on the part of guard- ians; unwholesome attitudes of teachers and parents, and others. MISTAKES IN REARING "It can be said that psychiatric studies of maladjustment have re- vealed, in striking fashion, factors in child rearing that have been con- ducive to mental ill health. And from this experience leads are pro- vided for the prevention of disabili- ties by devising ways of avoiding mistakes that have been prevalent in the past. "Unquestionably the time has come when educators and specialists in mental hygiene should collaborate in formulating a program for conserv- ing mental health. "Fortunately, there is a growing interest on the part of educators in mental hygiene work and activities, A number of recognized leaders have recently expressed the opinion that education should combine with . its cultural aims the objective of con- serving mental health. These men are desirous of taking advantage of psychiatric knowledge and experi- ence. ' "To facilitate further collaboration between educators and psychiatrists, the National Committee for Mental Hygiene is embarking upon this project for the integration of mental hygiene with educational activities. TEACHER -,TRAINING SURVEY "Initial attention will be devoted to the basic problem of teacher selection and teacher training in mental hygiene. This point of at- tack is selected because it is at once urgent from the point of view of education and possible of treatment on the basis of our present know- ledge of mental hygiene. Concentrat- ion on normal schools and teacher - training colleges and schools of education is indicated because the character, attitudes and equipment of the teaching profession are of crucial importance in child training. "The program of work will entail such activities as the following: A. A canvass of the experience of educators and specialists in child guidance concerning the types of teachers who have exerted a harm- ful influence upon the mental health of their pupils, B. A study of the personality make-up of teachers who are mak- ing a contribution to the conserv- ation of the mental health of child- ren. C. All exploration to discover practicable methods for the person- ality appraisal of candidates for teacher -training positions and for ap Teacher—What was George Wash- ington noted for?

Father—Well, I guess she is all right for this modern age, but if I'd brought home a girl like that to my old home and told the folks she was elected to' be their daughter-in- law, I am, sure' they would have run us both out.

If their employers show no especial gratitude, they are inclined to be resentful. Of course employers are not keen about work- ers who have to have a few days in bed every few weeks, but the work- er who comes to the office half sick every now and then does not stir them to enthusiasm either. The fact of the matter is that business men' want healthy employ- ers. Most colds and practically; all attacks of indigestion are due to carelessness. In very few cases is there any excuse for not getting enough sleep. If you want to be a valued worker, focus your attention on keeping fit. You can do it if you wish.
