A. J. Schnurr, manager of the Local Employment and Selective Service Office, states that he has re- ceived special instructions originat- ing with Arthur MacNamara, Direc- tor of National Selective Service, that special efforts must be made to absoiib school teachers into fanning or other essential work during the summer holidays. "Hon. Humphrey Mitchell, Minis- ter of Labor, recently issued an appeal to school teachers to engage at farming or other essential work during the summer time," stated Mr. Schnurr. "The Minister appeal- ed to teachers not to regard the closing of the schools this year as a holiday, but rather as an opportunity to aid directly in solving Canada's wartime labor problems." Mr. Schnurr said that the Local Employment Office will give special attention to registering teachers. either for work in this district, or for essential work in their home lo- cality or even elsewhere, depending upon where work is available. It is not the intention of Selective j Service, Mr. Schnurr pointed out, t(i kiep teachers away from the special summer courses which they are j sometimes required to take. More- over, it was emphasized that teach- ing itself is a very high prioritv occupation, and that the present in- tention is to get teachers to accept ji.bs for the summer only, after which they will return to the teach- ii.g profession. Gasoline Exploded Thursday Mr. Steve Sutton re- ceived severe burns to his hands from blazing gasoline, while at his work ia the McTavish garage. The acci- dent was a peculiar one. Steve was washing some car part with the gas- oline when a workman nearby moved a battery on the work bench, with wires attached to it, which came into contact with some iron and sparks resulted. The sparks jumped to the fumes of gasoline and there was a si'dden explosion and flames shot into the air. An attempt was made tc smother the flames and when this was unsuccessful Steve took the can of burning gasoline outside, with the aid of plyers. Several severe burns were suffered, but he was fortunau not be more severely burned. The fire alarm was sounded but the fire extinguished almost immediately by the workmen.
