"We are at rock bottom," says Welfare Administrator Herbert Chesebrough. "A personnel man with an Oshawa plant wanted eight men the other day. We couldn't sup- ply them." Of the 959 persons on welfare last month, 579 are listed as "employables". Mr. Chese- brough says this total has drop- ped by about 200 this month. | "But we still don't have able- bodied men in the desired age- group which is 20 to 35," said the administrator. Gross cost of welfare in April was $30,597, down $1,800 from the same month last year. Net costs shareable were $23,677.85 with net costs to be paid entire- ly by the city at $813.58.

Economy In Good Shape Save Driver Starr Tells Builders The Oshawa Builders' Associ- ation held its annual Civic Night at the Genosha Hotel Wednesday, May 23 at 6.30 Guest speaker was the Hon. Michael Starr, Minister of Labor. Mr. Starr told the members of the OBA that they are im- portant people in Canada. He said that the prosperity of many Canadians depends on the builders' prosperity. "Our economy is in good shape right now," said Mr. Starr, "and this should have favorable effects on employ- ment." He said that one mil- lion jobs will be needed in Canada in the next five years and that this target is being at- tained. Mr. Starr illustrated this point with the fact that 182,000 more were employed in April this year than last year. He added that we can expect to see an even greater provement through the mer.
