MEN FOR HOME BUILDING
MUST BE SECURED

Home building is highly essential to over-
come pressing housing shortages, and to pro-

vide dwellings for the Forces as discharged.

Shortages of workers for building homes and
for producing the building materials are threatening
to impede Canada’s program for the construction of
50,000 homes as soon as possible.

All men experienced in home building or in
pfoducing building materials, who are not now
working in either of these industries, are urged to
apply to the nearest office of the National Employ-
ment Service immediately.

Men experienced at home building or producing
supplies, if now in other essential work, will be
given permits to work at jobs which will assist the
house building program.

All men, not now at house building nor pro-
ducing supplies, who can fill a job in this
program, are urged to answer this call.

Apply at once at the nearest office of the
National Employment Service.

CURIOS SHOWN FOR
RED CROSS BY MOTHER
OF MRS. G. GLEESON

An ardent worker for the
Red Cross in Comox is 77-year-
old Mrs. M. Wayland, mother of
Mrs. G. T. Gleeson of Abbots-
ford. Her latest fund-raising
activity is a wonderful display
of valuable curios which have
been handed down through her
family or collected by herself.

Among the valuables on dis-
Play is a copy of the London
Daily Chronicle of July 7, 1893,
which carries an account of the
Marriage 52 years ago of Queen
Mary of England - the Queen
Mother. One of the oldest papers
owned by Mrs. Wayland is dated

1837 and carries an account of
the death of King William 4th.
