The Provincial’ Building and other Government buildings dur- ing the past week have been un- dergoing, where necessary, a face lifting including renovation of se- veral offices — painting and car- pentry etc.-This is the Govern- ImenIt’s contribution to the “Do It‘ Now” campaign which was started in the City some weeks

It Is Good Busi Good Sense To Do It Now

The weatherman ceeins to have his seasons a bit mixed this year and it is really not it bad idea. It is all too easy to get in a rut. Monday’s wash day, and so on; Prince Edward Islandens have long got into the habit of doing things in due season. Af- ter all in a farming and fishing community it is quite impossible to ignore the seasons.

What works excellently, how- ever, tor farmers and ﬁshermen is not nearly so good for the trades-m-an and labourer. To crowd all the building, repairing and decorating into a. few short months because‘ these are tra- ditional months for outdoor pro- jects is bad economy and worse neighbourliness.

The ‘electrician, plumber, plas- terer, carpenter, and other skill- ed tradcsman has no choice but to live 12 months of the year. It is absurd to expect that he will sit. around for months on and waiting for the season in which his skill and effort will be in de- mand. *

NOT ENOUGH TIME What it amounts to is thatour

‘ skilled labour must be employ-

ed throughout the year or it will simply not be available during the brief period during which cus- tom would have it that build-ing operations are carried on. - We are faced with the hard rﬁacit that work«must be spaced more or less evenly throughout year or there will just not be the workmen available to do what is required. This hard fact hasbeen loﬁtened a bit by unemployment insurance but it remains a fact nevertheless. There will not be enough workers to do the many’ jobs facing us if they _are not

ness AncI I

spread out more or less evenly throughout the year. CAN BE DONE _

Fotrtun-ately it has been clearly shown that work can be spread through the 12 months with ad- vantage to all. There are few con- struction, repair or alteration jbbs that cannot’ be carried on at anyitim-e of year. Not only that, but the fact that labour, material and.su-pervision are much more readily available at the present time than T‘ in summer makes it decidedly attractive to “do it now.” A

it is good business to get a job .done when there is a mini- mum of waiting for supplies and for labour. Anyone who has suf- fered while a job has hung fire waiting for one thing after ano- ther before it can be completed, many weeks after any reason- able estimate, will be only to an- xious to junk tradition. and get on with the jobregardless of the calendar. The essential things are more ready to hand now than they will be in July.

It is good business to jump the gun a bit and secure the mater.-x lads and good workmen you need before you find yourself I bidding against a horde of others, all sud- denly facing the necessity of com- pike)-ting what has become a rush To . It is good business to maintain the Durchasing power of the heads of families. The business- man who helps to level out the ups and downs of employment in his community is putting money into his own pocket as well as into that of the man employed on the job.

It is good business to DO IT NOW.

He said it would take mortgage funds totalling about $1,400,000,000 to get 140,000 homes under way this year.

He observed that since the start of the campaign a great deal of publicity and statements have been made in its favor by several government, civic and business leaders, but he was dis- appointed that very little had been heard from the heads the vanious trade groups throughout the province and particularly within the Charlottetown area.

Taking the initiative for the la- bocr groups, Mr. lvlccabe has sub- mitted the following endorsement of the campaign:

“0hc~e more we find ourselves in the midst of the winter season with its numerous perennial pro- blems. One of the more serious problems which, if overcome, would solve many others, is the lack of employment especially by our tradesmen. Of this group, one of the hardest hit is the carpen- ters, the majority of whom in this area are members of Local 1338, United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners. These craftsmen are ‘kept busy during the summer and fall months on the larger construc- tion projects and this time of year -finds many of them idle and eager for work. . ’
