Great Scarcity Skilled Men (From Maclean's Magazine) Peace is here, and the housing problem seems just as acute as ever. Why? One reason is this: Canada sim- ply hasn t enough skilled trades- men to build the houses we need at prices the average Canadian can pay. The shortage of skilled building workers has been-gut as high a x more, many those at work are untrained, un- killer or old. Their ee one reason the cost of construction , has risen a third since before the war. Cte , wants 8. recent week, when National Em- ployment Service was looking for 1,000 carpenters in the Toronto alone, the Ontario govern- ment s training school graduated three, and only 35 were then en- rolled in the carpentry course. N.E.S. wanted. 150 bricklayers. One was graduated and. five were enrolied. N.E.S. was desperate for 275 painters. One was graduated and four enrolled. - Hourly -rates.-in the building trades are good. Why is it so shunned? Some workers objec- tions are; lack of factory ameni- ties, apprenticeships as long as four years, union reluctance to ad- mit new member . But by far the most important drawback is uncer- tainty of employment. When win- ter comes building slumps; when deprcacion strikea construction is th first industry to be hit.No man looks forward to a life of working by fits tarts. Why shouldn't we skilled building tradesmen year- rot work ? We're told we need 500,000 new houses in the next 10 years.

Upon Confederation it was felt desir- able to have same symbol of the new country so the Canadian ensign, was devised by use of the - Britigh-red ensign with Canadian coat of arms in the flag. This was generally used on all public build- ings. In 1870 the Canadian blue ensign was formally: approved for Canadian government ships, and jn 1892: the Canadian red ensign for merchant vessels registered in Canada, But the red ensign was never formally adopted as the na- tional flag and about 1904 its use on public buildings ceased. By 1912 the coloni ry gave his opinion that the union flag Is tie national flag of Cansua. o Ward Downey A quiet wedding took place in Central United church, Calgary, of on Dec. 1 when Esther Elizabeth youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. P. Downey, High River, be- came the bride of Donald Frank Ward, only son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Ward, affo of High River. They were ai by Miss Jean Dafoe, who is a student at the General Hospital School of. Nursing, and Mr. Douglas Bruse, recently discharged from the RC. N.V:R. Their many High River friends wish the young people every hap- piness. Pi many skilled workers will be re ouired, how many will have to be trained. It should also be possible to sssure these men steady en.- ployment by extending winte: building to the maximum and, when outdoor work is not possible by employing them in fattories making building materials.
