SUMMERSIDE BUREAU OF THE GUARDIAN Approximately 27 more casu- civillan laborers have been or will be laid off at RCAF Station Summerside it was learned yes-. Iterday from the chief adminis- tration officer. Sqdn. Ldr. E. Semple.

Seven of this number. who are ‘painters, will be retained until the end of this week. the offi- cer explained.

This brings to 57 the number of casual employees that h a v e been released in the past six days due to the lack of funds for internal maintenance at the air base, which is attributed to the government's emergency program.

"The situation is becoming se- rious". he seid, “and all possi- ble representation should e made to the government to re- consider its decision. It appears

e at the government is making its financial moves at the expense of the moderately- pald civil servants.

“Firstly it denies a raise that its own experts agreed was fair: secondly. it freezes all promo- tion in government services and refuses to fill current vacancies except under very special cir- cumstances: then finally it cuts back on prevailing-rate emplo-

ees."

Mr. Berton. said. "In this par- ticular area it means a 50 per cent decrease in the construc- tion engineering section. These men will be forced into an al- ready overloaded labor market".

He stated the saving to the go- vernment is ‘'.1 drop in the buc- ket. while the hardship is im- measurable when imposed upon these hard-working members the community."

.1 Vocational Plan Needs Qualified Instructors

to find tradesmen that are will- lng to work as instructors on

the present wage scale.

‘.‘If we don't get them. we won't have the courses." Mr. Mchdurtry said.

The present scale is not suf- ficient to attract qualified trad- esmen away from their trade. Wages for vocational instruc- tion here range about 81.000 lower than in New Brunswick. and 31.400 lower than in Nova Scotla.

It was emphasized that in- structors must be qualified in their trade. as instructors in any profession should be. They noted a statement in the House of Commons by Michael Starr, minister of labor. which read "The success of any vocational or technical trade programs de- of qualified

vidlng. also. for the training of instruction personnel."

The new galvanized building is 50 feet long. It includes five pens and a hay barn. Livestock can be moved directly on and off cars tiirough chutes provid- ing access to the building. In- side there is an asphalt floor to facilitate cleaning. and equip- ment needed to water and feed

Chutes are provided at the rear of the building to enable livestock to be loaded and un- loaded from trucks.

The new stock, pens will be in full operation for the busy fall season, when prize animals will be on their way to compete in shows across Canada. The facil- ities will also play an important part in the stock-breeding pro- grams being encouraged by ag- griciilture departments in the Maritimes.

A gravel road has been laid to enable livestock to be moved to and_ from the new stock pens. Sales of livestock at present held at existing CN stock pens will be carried on at the new location
