NOTES Following the exhibition of lantern slides at the Jubilee Concert on May 6th, a prominent Colborne citizen offered to loan C. H. S. a couple of photographs which would form a valuable addition to the collection of slides of Colborne people the school already has. We certainly appreciate this generous offer, and if, perhaps, a few more similar photographs could be unearthed in Colborne, they would add greatly to the interest and value of the present unique collection. Miss Mitchell, of the C.H.S. staff, was agreeably surprised on Friday, May 10th, when the Upper School Latin class presented her with a box of candy on the occasion of her birth- day. the time of writing, Ford Cowie, of First Form at C.

QUEEN'S PARK ARENA (By the Watchman) Toronto, May 15th, 1935.--Since announcement was made in the press two weeks ago that the Department of Welfare would endeavour to find jobs for unemployed men" on farms of the Province, literally hundreds of letters have been pouring into the offices of Hon. David Croll from men seeking farm work and from farmers seeking men. Realizing that farmers are often faced with the problem of finding suitable Help, the department has set- up an agency for the handling of sv.eh matters and considerabe success has attended its efforts. Approximately 65 per cent, of the requests from farmers have been satisfactorily looked after, and mt.ny men to-day are working for the first time in years instead of being on the relief lists. The Welfare Department has set the minimum wage at $20.00 per month and a surprisingly large number of farmers appear willing to pay this sum to the proper kind of Relief inspectors play an important part in the arrangements. When letter from a farmer is received, ihe information is sent to the relief offlc-the town nearest the farm, and he is asked to find a suitable man. Very little trouble is experienced in this regard. If a man who has had farm experience refuses to accept a job on the land, he is told that u~ runs the risk of being cut off the re rolls. The Welfare Department is determined to give the unemployed a fair deal but shirkers are not going to he allowed to live on public bounty when there is work available, especially when that work is the kind they have done before. The majority of unemployed mien, however, do not hesitate when there is a chance to work. Many jobless men have written to the Department asking for farm jobs and every effort has been made to get them placed. In this way, the Department of \^fel-fare is working steadily towards £be Important objective of getting men cff relief and making them wa^e-earners again. Toronto, May 15th, 1935--Approximately 15,000 men were added to the unemployed today as 60 Government road camps closed down in nort; mi; . ,i.,i;H eastern 'OnHMfe*--- The main reason for the Mr. Heenan said in announcing the shutdown, was the absence of declaration of policy by the Federal Government with regard to bearing a part of the cost of the Canada Highway construction. About twenty camps will remain open in places along the trans-Canada highways where roadways are nearly completed. Last year the Province spent over $23,000,000 on relief camp work, and received very little return, said Mr. Heenan. PERSONAL Mr. James Ryan is visiting friends in Rochester, N.Y.
