The Labour department will co-operate with provincial

manpower arrangements for the designated areas.

"LIKE RUNNING A FARM" .

Making marriage work is like running a farm. You have
to start all over again each morning. — Quoted -in The Way
of St. Francis.

LIGHTER SIDE

Most men hope that their
lean years are behind them;
women hope that their’s are
ahead.

Experts who’ve timed it:

say a wink takes a 40th of a
second. Do you know a quick-
er way to get into trouble? |

The word “engagement”
has two meanings: in war it’s:

nay, will make it necessary
to amend our existing Certifi-
cations due to the trend of
large corporations buying up
the small lumber com-
panies...

“In the last six months we
have conducted three Arbi-
tration cases, all of major

importance...

“During this last six
months we have also revised
a number of wage scales with
various companies. There are
still categories that require
attention, particularly fallers
and buckers, truck drivers,
and heel boom operators .. .

“Your officers take pride
in the fact that we have
grown from a floundering, un-
organized, ineffective Local
Union to an organization cap-
able of administering our own
affairs, and in our opinion,
second to none in the Region-
al Council...

“There are several impor-
tant points that we feel
should be mentioned in our

Report. In line with the reso-
lution passed at our last Dele-
gated Meeting, we have es-
tablished a Local Union
Scholarship for the East and
West Kootenays in the
amount of $250...

“At this time we would like
to report that we have in-
creased the Local Union staff
for the summer months.
Bro. DeAnna was placed on
the payroll effective July 5th,
and will be assisting in the
East and West Kootenays
during the vacation period .. .

“In conclusion we would
like to express our apprecia-
tion to the members of the
Ladies Auxiliary and the
other members of the Local
Union who have sacrificed
their time and effort on be-
half of the members and the
Local Union.”

The Conference closed with
a gay banquet and dance
which was enjoyed by every-
one in attendance.

TOLL ON TOLL ROADS
According to Sheriff Albert W. Skinner of Rochester, N.Y., :
customer crack-ups in shopping centre parking lots around
Rochester are up 84 per cent. He says, “Drivers go every

which way, and they don’t take the precautions they would
on the highway.”

OLDSTERS ON THE BALL
In New Zealand all drivers over 70 years of age must
undergo an annual driving test to retain their licenses. Most
of the oldsters pass the test, and examining officers report
that many of them are skilled drivers.

SLIGHTLY EMBARRASSING
A young lady driving a car in Logansport, Ind., reached
into the back seat to collect some papers that were blowing
around. Before she knew what was happening, the car went
out of control and ended up on a utility guy wire. As a result,

about a fourth of the city was without electric power for two
hours.
