Because of Olnsdafs northern geographic location more than 200,- 000 of its citizens are caught an-

lnually in the fair-sited recission ybetter known as seasonal unemploy- znent. v

1 Both business and government ,. have been seeking s remedy rm this annual waste of human resources. with its attendant hardship for so many people. No care has been found but the search goes on with iedoubled. efforts.

Prince, Edward Island has its share of idle people during the na- tional seasonal let--down. and in the months of February and March the Iigures rewhed more than 2.500, almost 2,000 of these, male work- ers and the rerrwinder women.

To relieve the situation, which even yet is far from good, the Na- tional Eiuployrnent Offices in Char- lottetown and Summerside are sponsoring a "Back-to-Work" Cam- paign this week, to induce employ- ers, whether they be contractors. merchants, manufacturers. or land- lords to hire any help they plan to engage this year, at the earliest possible moment.

Quite often men offered these short-time jobs refuse them, with the explanation that they are drawing insurance bneiitr.

The proper course for the em- ployer to take in such cues is to "Port the refusal and have the man disqualified from obtaining Unemployment Insurance benefits. Very few employers take this step, and on a. few dozen incidents of this kind the myth about work be- ing plentllul, even in mid-winter, is built up.

Even from the rural sections where many farmers hold the view that seasonal unemployment has no basis. in fact several hundred men flock to Summerside and Char- lottelottetown each winter seeking jobs. It is not difficult to trace the
