This resulted in the recall of employees in some jcases, and in additional hirings jin others. Spring weather accounted for the normal increase in construc- tion activities, while farm ac- tivity also .increased, as the farmers prepared for seeding and other related work. Retail merchants generally reported increasing sales of clothing, garden supplies, and fertilizers. There was a continued de- mand for qualified workers throughout the month as em- ployers listed vacancies for such tradesmen as combination weld- ers, tool and die makers, ma- ichinists, carpenters, and paint- Jers.

The supply of workers in most cases was adequate. How- ever, some shortages occurred in the following --tool and die makers, electronics technicians, auto mechanics and body repair- men, horizontal boring and mill- ing machine operators, linotype operator, compositor, -- offset press man, upholsterer, wood patternmaker, backhoe opera- tor, baker, technical writer, |medical technician, short order cooks, salesmen, nurses, wait- resses and housekeepers.

It is evident that much work is being done here and, indeed, 84 cases are now in the records of the clinic, some of these have been closed but the majority are still on the active list The clinic, in this short period of operation, has proven that there was a need for an institution of this kind in Osh- awa, At the present enough cases are on file to keep the staff busy until the end of this year. It raises the question whether the number of mentally ill is on the increase Dr. C. H. Jackson, psychologist at the clinic, said there is no way of knowing this. He said, however, society is paying more heed to mental illness' now than ever before. Dr. Jackson emphasized that one of the main purposes of the jclinic is the prevention of men- tal disorder. One of the ques- tions they are asking is: 'What are the tensions, stresses and j\deprivations in' a community jthat can give rise to mental |disorder? . Verhulst, director and psychiatrist of the clinic» said that they are just beginning to form some hunches about these problems in Ahe community. However, it take much Phone 723-.
