JEYIELEIIS SINCE 1008

By Forbes lliuda (Canadian Press Business Editor)
This is the season for the annual meetings of banks. These institu- tions are close to every part of the Canadian community, and their summations of the country's state are oi particular interest.
Imperial Bank of Canada and Barclays Bank (Canada) have al- ready met. and here are a few ex- cerpts:
I. K. Johnston. president of Imperial:
The last lo months have ,been remarkable for the continuance of the high levels of employment and business activity which have char- acterized the whole period since 1945. -
The value of our gross national production. which is calculated to have been somewhat over 310.000.- 000.000 in 1949. is likely to exceed 317.000.000.000 in 1950. This is es- timated to represent an output of goods and services 75 per cent above that of 1039.
Our total working force has in- creased by about 75.000 in the year. and of the 5,300,000 persons employable. leu than two per cent were without jobs at the date of the last survey in August.
And from H. A. Stevenson. prea- ident oi Barclayaz
Canada's labor income for the whole of 1948 was 37.130.000.000. and for 1940 37.630.000.000. For the first six months of this year it was estimated to be as high as 33.802.000.000, with the probability that for the full year it will ex- ceed 88.000.000.000.
The wheat crop has been some- what oi a disappointment. though not as to quantity. . . . In all prob- ability this year's bigger but dc- teriorated crop will produce less revenue than did last year's small- er one. .
Income from other crops will be higher but marketings oi livestock are expected to be slightly lower and. during the last half .of the year. at prices lower than in 1940.
Our countryfs mineral wealth has been barely tapped and the growing dependence of the United States on Canada as a source of vital metals emphasizes the po- tentialities of our mining industry and its value as an asset to the country's foreign trade and to the on ity of western nations.
The year has witnessed great strides towards the commercial- ization of Alberta's oil. News- print. lumber and pulp have out- standingly increased production.
Industry of all kinds. heavy and light. now is enjoying happier re- lations than heretofore with la- bor. and with the advantages of recent large plant expansion. has been operating on a scale without precedent under peacetime condi- tions in our history.
(Canadian Press Business Editor) The older man or woman locking for a. job may find the way easier from here in.
For one thing. defence programs are likely to cause a scarcity of workers. Fcr another. a smaller working force is coming up because of the low birth rate of the seam- sion years.
For still another. a considerable campaign has been going on to teach firms the advantages of hir- ing the older man or woman. Labor Minister Gregg has this to say:
"1 would advise any industry which now is having difficulty ob- ialning skilled workers to examine the possibility of obtaining these from among the older age groups. They are generally willing. able and dependable."
The Labor Department. as part of its campaign for the older work- er. haa been showing employers a motion picture called "Date of Birth."
Mr. Greg says its showing has had outstanding success and that

Dermal Royalty Guides
Due to Leader dlilficulties our Royalty Guides were a little late in getting off the mark this Fall but they are going to make up for lost time and another group will be receiving Second Class badges. Two keen Leaders have agreed to take over the Company. Mis Jean Rayner and Mi Mary Trainor. The girls met on Monday after- noon with the Field Secretary. Mrs. Jenkins and work for the Second Class was set and Tenderfoot Cards distributed. Maureen Mac- Donald. Janet Wood. Elaine Fer- guson. Barbara Brannen and Kath- erine Beck were to complete the health test and semaphore. Central Royalty will be well to the fore on the Guiding map by next Spring as the girls are bursting with en- thusiasm and are sincerely anxious to achieve results.

We have so many accounts due to us chiefly quite small ones, but they do add up. and as all oi you know we operate on a very slen- der shoe string. so please dear Leaders would you settle yours? We like to keep a full stock so that your requirements may be met but we have to pay on the dot with no extended credit that we accord to you. Some of our accounts are back in early 1950 and should be settled -by now and your attention would be very much appreciated. We do not wish to stop giving you credit but if we cannot get our bills settled it may mean that we shall have to do this. We fully realize that Companys and Packs have not always the money to set- tle at once but it is those months old bills that we would like to clear from our files. We thank you for your co-operation.
many companies are revising their age-hiring policies.
The older-worker problem. while it becomes more acute in the dos. really starts in the 40s fcr people who for some reason. oftcn beyond their control. have to change em- ployment.
The problem is not all one of at- titude oi employers; sometimes the person seeking emploment expects too much, especially if he has been in the executive bracket.
It. a man who has been. say. comp- troller of a firm. too often expects to step into another firm with the same man. forgetting that it has its ow men coming along. The American comptrollers In- stitute gives advice to comptroller: and accountants seeking jobs. which has general interest. It says:
Medium-sized corporations offer the best prospects. because larger corporations are usually weli-staif- ed
Address your letter to top exec- utives only. Plollow-urp letters are as important as the application. Don't stay too long at interviews. Don't fall to send a thank-you let- ter afler an interview. no matter how it turns out. The employer may not hire you. but because of a-good impression he may recommend you to some one else.
Don't be impatient because you aren't. hired irnmediatcly after an interview.
Prepare an outline of past ex- perience. Present your qualifications without regard to employment chronology. Then list pest jobs. putting the most recent employment first. give a reason for leaving each job. Never omit an unfavorable ex- ience - any break in sequence arouses suspicion as to cause.
