On Wednesday evening M3! 3031 members and adherents and friend of the Clyde River Presbyterian Church met at the mouse to ten- iicr farewell to their P8590” '3"d Ills wife Rev. and Mrs. Nicholson who are soon to begin labours in the congregation of Belfast.
The chairman for the "5313! was Mr. Ira Auld in bringing the large gathering to.order informed Tit-v and Mrs. Nicholson of the purpose of their presence and cal- led on Mrs. Roland Buchanan of read an address. Mr. Lorne Mac- Nevin on behalf of the congregat- ion and friends presented Rev. and Mrs. Nicholson with a well filled
. purse, Mrs. Nicholson was also - kindly remembered by the Wom-
en's Missionary Society. Mr. and Mrs. Nicholson heartily thanked the people who had been so very kind and considerate in every way during the six years of their min- istry in their midst and for the kind thoughts expressed in this tangible way.
The evening was spent in Hymn singing and social converse. A de- licious lunch was served by the lndics after which all joined in
singing "Bless be the tie that binds.".
The text of the address read as follows,
Rev. and Mrs. Donald Nicholson, Dear Mr. and Mrs. Nicholson: A few weeks ago we learned
I with regret of your decision to
move from our midst to another part of the Island, and we cannot let this occasion pass without ex- pressing the loss we all feel at your departure and also voicing the hope that you may be happy in your new home and congregat- ton.
Words seem inadequate. when it comes to expressing our regret but it would be selfish of us to think you should remain here after six years when others are in need of your christian teaching, but we hope it is not selfish on our part to say that we wish you will re- turn soon again.
Mr. Nicholson. you have been a faithful pastor. As we listened to your sermons each Sunday. you made God's plan and the way of Salvation very plain and we ap- preciated your work very much.
We remember with the deepest gratitude your sympathetic and understanding manner in times of sickness and bereavement and how the load of care and sorrow was lightened by your kind words and actions. often at considerable hard- ship to yourself.
We feel confident that in what- ever portion of God's vineyard He may call you, your untiring energy and pcrsevercnce will win suc- ress in your labors.
llirs. Nicholson. you are a truc hrlp-mate and were seldom ab- sent from the services. Since you came here by your kindness of heart and cheerful disposition you have earned the friendship and stood will of us all and you both have set a fine example of Christ- ian living.
And so. we are gathered here tonight. in the manse whose doors were always open with a warm welcome to membe a of the con- izrcgation and strangers alike, to any au revoir and to wish you' the
est
As a token of our highest ee- teem. we ask you to accept this small gift and hope it may serve to remind you of the many happy days spent among us. as we on- Iiire you, your memory will el- Wlyl remain In our heart.
We hope that God may give you health and length of years to labor In His service and it is the desire of us all that in the near future Y0" may be back auto to reside

Employment
Practically all skilled tradesmen in Kings and Queen's counties are employed and it is difficult to se- cure the services of qualified car- penters. brick layers, plasterers and other construction workers, say officials of the Charlottetown National Employment Office.
New rough carpenters and semi- skilled tradesmen" are available from time to time. but most of the better type workers are continuous- ly employed. It is even difficult to secure good labourers and the general employment situation is quite good at the present time.
The Charlottetown National Em- ployment Office speaks only of conditions in Queen's and King's Counties because the National Em- ployment Office in Summerside administers employment, and in- surance functions for Prince Coun- ty. The Charlottetown Office points out that employment conditions have now swung the full circuit since mldwinter. From a high point of seasonal employment which totalled about twenty-eight hundred people the figures have now dwindled to a few hundred and many of these are elderly people. people in poor health. and students seeking summer employ- ment only.
Many more first class carpen- ters could be employed if they were available, but as was point- ed out by the National Employ- ment Office last February during the seasonal employment campaign summer is not always the best time to carry out construction work. Officials of the local office wished to remind the public of this fact when summarizing the enaploymcnt look-out last week- en .
FISHING INDUSTRY
The fishing industry is providing wages for a great many workers particularly at some where up- wards of four hundred men and women are employed. and at such places as Rustico, Murray Har- bour. North Lake. Lower Monta- gue, Pinette. Fortune and George- twon, many men and women are drawing a weekly income from the. sea.
The repair of old highways and the building of new ones by the Provincial Government has put many men back on tht pay rolls, and the Dominion Government is carrying out road building in the National Park. Many of the dairies on the Island both large and small are working at full capacity, and rapidly improving pasture lands have shot the production of milk and butter fat sharply upwards. Because of this increased product- ion, a noticeable improvement has taken place in employment in the manufacture of dairy products.
Garages throughout the count- ies of King”s and Queen's have al- so reemployed many workers now that good weather permits the full use of Island roads for business or pleasu c driving. and for the transportation of frleght and ex- press by truck.
Scrvicc stations reflect the up- surge in car and truck driving. and all of them have increased their staffs to handle the brisk summer business. As more'and more people have become regular wage earners. retail and whole salers have reaped benefits. and engaged more help to cope with the rising volume of business. The Charlottetown National Employ- ment Office indicate however. that

Congregation.
Situation
construction and fishing have led the way in reducing un-employ- ment to the present low figures. and that these two seasonal ind- ustries likewise account for most of the unemployment in the win- ter months.
The office has noted that many people are building new homes in town and country, that commer- cial firms are erectlngtnew facili- ties and that the Dominion and Pro- vincial governments are also doing their share.
FEDERAL BUILDING iWork on the new Federal Build-
One of the biggest projects being carried out in the city is the con- struction of new plant facilities by the”-Imperial Oil Company near the I-iillsboro Bridge. This major undertaking which includes new storage tanks, new offices, and new outbuildings, covers several acres of ground and besides em- ploying a large number of men, is engaging much mechanical equipment to level the site and to make roads leading from the public highway. Nearby the Irving Oil Company is continuing work on its new plant facilities and this la'.i:r job is within sight of com- pletion.
ing in Charlottetown is in its final stages. Interior decoration, the laying of floor coverings, the com- pletion of counters and ahevlng are being rushed at the present time. Painters have completed dec- orating the top floors of the build- ing and are working their way down to the ground floor and base- ment, which will be the last part of the building made ready for occupancy.
Foundation work on the new R.C.M.P. Barracks on the out- skirts of Charlotteown is advanc- ing steadily, and the new home of the Mounties is giving work to quite a numbe of men. Also on the outskirts of Charlottetown the Charlottetown Motel is being great- ly enlarged and is using the ser- vices of many carpenters and int) ourers. In Charlottetown itself a start has been made on the new Island Furriers building adjoin ing the Bank of Commerce. and on the same block on Grafton

Then if ever come perfect days: Then heaven tries the earth if it be in tune And over it softly her warm ear lays.” AGE 18 MORE LONELY
It is hopeful sign that so able a contributor to the Guardian as Mr, James Pcndcrgast feels that a club room or meeting place for the Old Men of the Town is D05- dible and took the time to offer some concrete suggestions iGuard- ianscope. June 13). It is apprec- iated.
Is old age. generally speaking a more lonely period than youth or middle age? Or do the old just "feel sorry for themselves"? To begin with. no one can rightly be called "old" whatever his calen- dgr years, who still functions in the home or outside the home. at a paid job or on some volunteer project. Yet as time goes on. there is the inevitable loss of cherished friends, and often members of the family and few can escape occas- ional feelings of loneliness. How- ever, those quite active even in their late seventies and eighties- and there are many such on the Island, are not the ones for whom loneliness is a serious problem.
But loneliness can be deep and real for the ones considered too old to be of any service in their homes or in the community. Often
they are unfit for any kind of work,
