This is the dictum which he issued 1o the thousands of linvernmeilt Cf1l1)lf)_\‘0CS when hc received the neivspapcrnicn. and the question iif (lismissals and resignations arose. ln this re- spect, the Premier reiterated what he had said on the platform (luring the late election period. lllltl upon taking office. llc- refkirretl to the fact that there had been a series of zippointiilcnts. lint emphasized that too much attention should not be paid to such matters, since they were only secondary. for the Government had collie into power to provide jobs. “\\'e luivv been probing into various ilepartmeilts, and un- UftflllCll nlany things," commented the Premier.

It appears even the Alberta Civil servants are not adverse to scrips.
