At Ottawa a re- lief recipient since 1932 was given suspended sentence and six months probation for refusing to work. Pro- vincial Secretary Nixon has called attention to the case of a number of Toronto men who refused to avail themselves of obtaining jobs when offered positions and all along the line there is a tendency to view with less tolerance men on relief who re- fuse to work. Attention has been directed to a Toronto reliefee who re- fused to go to Camp Borden at 90 cents an hour because it was not suf- ficient to provide for his dependents. • • • • There is a growing befief that a closer co-relation between indfustry and education in Ontario is urgntly needed. It is contended that much of the shortage of skilled labor has been caused by the breakdown of fahe ap- prenticeship system in the past de- cade and by failure of the Ontario education system to equip graduates for immediate usefulness and pro- ductivity in industrial life. The Civic Placement Committee of Toronto will recommend to the Hepburn Govern- ment widespread changes in Ontario's system of technical education so as to give industry a larger voice in deter- mining the curricula. It is felt that in future students should be given less class-room work, and by co-oper- ation between government and indus- try, be given an opportunity to gain actual experience in factory or work shops. Alderman D. Fleming, To- ronto is of the opinion that technical education should be divided into two parts, first, two or at the most three years of vocational education, instead of four years at at present, and sec- ondly, two years of technical training in the strict sense of the term, ac- companied where possible by appren- ticeship, with the time divided be- tween class-room and factory oi rk shop. â-  Ill 1 1 M ill H ill I III* SERVICE Mere are two p^reat Creamery Services, provided for the Cream Produceils of this district, that every farmer can enjoy: L You can send your cream by our truck which will call at your place twice a week in the summer, and where possible, every week in the winter; your cream is picked up in any quantity, for whidi you get cash, and your butter, if desired, at a special price to our shippers. 2.
