Interesting Lecture at Men‘s Forum This Evening The large audience that gathered in the Trinity United Church, on Thursâ€" day night last to hear the address by Willson Woodside, under the auspices of the Men‘s Club, were able to gather a great mass of information about Gerâ€" many and the German people. The address gave a striking review of conâ€" ditions in presentâ€"day Germany and added much light upon the problem of the "mad continent." as Mr. Woodside called it The European situation was made much‘clearer by the address of Mr. Woodside. He suggested that in a measure the people of Germany were Unemployed Registered â€" Here in Excess of 800 Willson Woodside, wellâ€"known jourâ€" nalist, traveller and lecturer, will be the speaker at the Men‘s Forum of the United Church this evening (Monâ€" day) at 8 p.‘m. His address is entitled ‘Behind the German Front." Mtr. Woodside spoke at Schumacher Men‘s Club on Thursday night, and was the guest speaker scheduled for the Kiâ€" wanis luncheon toâ€"day. He has ‘been a frequent visitor to Germany in reâ€" cent years, and has a very complete comprehension of the true situation in Germany toâ€"day. Some who heard Mr. Woodside at Schumacher last week have expressed their intention of hearing him again this evening at the Men‘s Forum. Schumacher Men‘s Club Hears All About Germany Infant‘s Dead Body Found in Incoming Mail Little Chance of Outsiders Getting Employment in Timâ€" mins Area, Says D. J. Murphy, Local Government Emâ€" ployment Supervisor. Little Change Expected Until Spring Work Commences. Despite the fact that about fifty men have been placed in more or less temâ€" porary employment during the past week, records at the local Government Employment Office show that a total of 836 men and women are still on the rolls as unemployed. Delbert J. Murphy, employment supervisor, in an interview with The Advance toâ€"day, was of the opinion that the number Of unemployed would remain about the same until spring when the various mining companies will take on a considerable number of men for surface work. Other emmpioyâ€" ment of a seasonal nature will also absorb the usual amount of ableâ€"bodied men when the spring breakâ€"up arrives. Pifteen pulp cutters were despatched to the TIroquois Falls district last week and a similar number left this morning following a request from one of the camps in that district, A few cordâ€" wood cutters have been given work supplying fuel for several diamond grill projects in this area and on Friâ€" day last ten men were sent to Big Water Lake at the request of the Hydro Commission, who are doing some mainâ€" tenance and replacement work in that locality. In revealing the number registered as unemployed Mr. Murphy pointed out that there are lots of men for all availâ€" able jobs and that outsiders will have little chance of work in view of the large number of jobless at present on hand.

Jenkin had arranged a musiâ€" cal programme that pleased all, the several artists meriting the applause and favour won. The opening number on the musical programme was an inâ€" strumental selection by Mr. Campsell, with Mr. Jenkin at the piano, and it was greatly appreciated, being enthusiâ€" astically encored. Solos by Mrs. Armiâ€" tage delighted all, the singer‘s talented interpretation of the different selections being especially noteworthy. Mrs. Dr. Boutin played the piano accompaniâ€" ments for Mrs. Armitage‘s numbers. Another singer whose numbers were particularly pleasing was Mr. Bridgâ€" man. who was heartily encored for such happy selections as "Little Town in Old County Down," and "That Wonderful Mother of Mine." Before the close of the gathering, Mr. Campsell favoured with another instrumental, Mr. Jenkin playing the accompaniment.
