This coming week on April 1st, the National Employ- ment Offices in Prince Ed- ward Island, at Summerside and Charlottetown, will com- mence a campaign to induce employers to put the season- ally unemployed back to work as soon as possible.

In previous years similar campaigns have been carried on either in February or March. From the experience obtained in these former at- tempts. it was found that not only were employers not A

prepared to take on men in mid-winter; but that many companies were carrying men they did not need. These companies invariably explain- ed to canvassers from the National Employment Offices, that the people being carried were long-time employees, married folks with families whom they felt obliged to keep on their payrolls.

The glib remark often heard on the streets to the effect. that people drawing benefit allowances could get work if they wanted it, was disproved during these earl-' ier campaigns. On the con- trary, it was shown clearly! that if all the firms in Char- lottetown, laid off the peo- ple whom they did not really need, our winter unemploy- ment figure would total 150 to 200 higher each year.

In view of the experience of other years. it was decided this year to open the drive for jobs in April, with the object of urging all employers tore-engage help--which they would take on later in any event-at an earlier date this year.

It is known that many small building contracts. repair job: and renovating Jobs are planned for May 1st, or shortly thereafter. it the employers concerned would commence the proposed jobs early in April. it would mean a. great deal to many men who have been

nemployed most of the winter.

The National Employment 0!- fire: draw attention to the fact that. some. but not all out these men have been drawing benefits for some weeks but that 75 per cent of them will be no longer eligible to draw further benelit af- ter March 31st.

The whole Island community, therefore. is vitally interested in the progress of the "Bacl(-To- Work" campaign. As will be seen from the list of advertisers. it is

Do you know why I am cuwdys so bright and cheer- ful? It's because you keep me busy 24 hours to day. every day of the year. rain or shine. How happy I am to be busy!

Lately I have been hearing quite a bit about "sec- sonol unemployment". Those are pretty long words. but they mean that friends of yours and mine are having a rather rough flme waiting for work to sl-art-up. Now I'll iusf bet that some of that work could be done right now. especiollyjf if is inside your house or office. and you wouldn't be waiting around In the real busy season ahead.

There are o lot of jobs that get left until the lore Spring. What usually happens? You can't find anyone to do them. Why not get some of those iobs done right now? From what I can gather there is going to be a big demand for construction workers and tradesmen.

Give the National Employment Service Offices cl.

Yours obedienrly.
