20 Jobs for 2,500

4 It is rather dismal to realize the Terrace District Manpower (Canada Employment Service) office has a total listing of less than 20 vancancies! At the same time the agency has 2,500 persons registered as unemployed. This works out to an average of only one wacancy for every 125 persons sup ly seeking work. Whereas /t is known that “Figures don’t lie-but liars do figure”. The facts would appear inescapable that ‘somewhere in Terrace” and District” are an awful-lot of frustrated people. Disheartened, disillusioned, restless, unhappy scanning the advertisements each day and listening to the radio-button holding their friends for leads-some of them ,at least. Many will have exhausted all known leads will have visit. the most likel sources of employment. wading of course, participating in “upgrading” a job retraining programsuite a few will be back to school, or at the N.W.

I was out on the ice frantically clinging to whatever I could find. My you're handsome — do you mind if I hang around your neck for a few minutes.
