THE WATERLOO CHRONICLEL&=_ _ ~=â€"_‘® Increase In Old Age/ Pension Would Cost Onitario| $3,600,000 Vol. 85, No. 26 Welfare Minister Speaker At Home Managers‘ Convention (By Staf Writer) "Since the federal government has found money to prosecute the war, I hope it can find the money to prosecute peace," declared Hon. Farquhar Oliver, minister of pubâ€" lic works and minister of welfare for Ontario, at the 23rd annual meeting of the association of manâ€" agers of the homes for aged and inâ€" firm at the Walper House in Kitchâ€" ener. "The conditions of war have greatly increased the work of the Children‘s Aid Society," declared the speaker, asserting that the war has "greatly changed the tempo of lwing". The speaker urged church and home societies to exert their influence to reduce the numbers of unmarried parents. â€" Mr. Oliver revealed that the proâ€" vincial government has expended over $45,300,000 for Mothers® allowâ€" ances since 1920. ‘‘There has been some suggesâ€" tion that we raise the Old Age Penâ€" sion from $20 to $25 monthly, but we contend by so doing the proâ€" vincial government would incur an extra expenditure of $3,600,000 a year," stated Oliver. "The proâ€" vincial government would have to look askance at that figure." The speaker pointed out that in 1933 there were 453,000 on relief, whereas in 1941 there were less than 31,000 on relief, most of whom were unemployables".

The criticism followed announceâ€" ment by Trustee Frank Price that the royal automobile drove "at a high speed" along Weber St. to the military training camp, instead of slowly along King St., along which the school children were lined. (At the request of city council, school was dismissed at 11 o‘clock on Friday). _ _ c s _ "I wonder if we should send a letter to city council thanking them for their invitation# commented Trustec Price. "I think it was a shame to allow them to go down Weber instead of King St. There were some of them (school chilâ€" dren) waiting to see the Governorâ€" General and his consort for more than an hour along King St." Principal Gordon â€" Loney _ of Courtland Avenue school said it was only in the morning that the committee learned that the Govâ€" crnorâ€"General wished it to be a quict affair. "I don‘t think he knew it was intended to have him drive in an open car," he stated. _ _ "They went so fast it took two (people) to see them," stated Trusâ€" tee Nelson Shantz. Principal Loney contended that Kitchener "is in bad need of a parade marshal". He asserted "no one seemed to know about arrangeâ€" ments." Chairman Walter Baulk said he understood that it was the Scouts who were in charge and who were anxious that school be dismissed carly. Many of the Cubs and Scouts taking part in the ceremony at the railway station, attended the public schools and it would have interrupted the classes too much if they had not been allowed out. (Continued on Page 8) Czechs Want ‘Second Front‘ "We are appealing to all the United Nations with our request that a second front be opened as soon as possible against Naziism, Fascism and their backers, so that they will get some of their own medicine like they gave to others." This was the crude but forceful resolution passed unanimously at a Czechoâ€"Slovakian rally in Kitchâ€" ener. The meeting was held in the Ukrainian hall. ‘"The motto of the late Thomas Masaryk. the first president of Czechoâ€"Slovakia, was: It is better to die standing than live while kneeling." exclaimed Anthony Syâ€" kora. chairman of the rally, urging support of a resolution pledging the support of the "Allied cause" with the men and money of the Czech, Polish and Ukrainian groups. All eligible men present were urged to report for service with units of their own countrymen or with any active and reserve forces in Canada The meeting was featured by a twoâ€"minute silence in salute to Russia on the first anniversary of the Nazi invasion.

Waterloo Man Hears Brother Is Missing a wireless air gunner, is missing overseas, was received over the weekâ€"end b& Eldred Winkler, 43 Menno St, Waterloo. Eldred is a student at Waterloo College and organist _ at Trinity â€" Lutheran Church, Kitchener. ____________ Both are sons of Mrs. Edwin Winkler, Hanover. Gunner Winkâ€" ler went overseas about a year ago, and his brother believes he was tost in one of the recent 1,000â€"plarte raids over Cologne or Essen. ‘ At a recent meeting of the Waterâ€" loo â€" Seminary _ auxiliary, Mrs. Winkler, mother of the missing flyer, expressed fears for her son‘s safety. She told other attendants at the meeting that: "I recognize the names of some of the members of my son‘s unit in the bombing attack in which Canadian bomber squadrons participated". _ Gunner Winkler had been in the Twin City several times. Another brother, Harold, formerly stationed at No. 10 Basic Training Centre here, is also overseas. Bs Explains Why Jobs Not Always Readily Found Mr. Boyer illustrated his point with figures taken from the records of one of the Employment and Claims Offices at the end of last month. At that time there were 189 applicants for work listed in‘ the office. There were also 49 unâ€" filled vacancies. In the great maâ€" jority of cases, however, the appliâ€" cants were not qualified to fill the vacancies. â€" Naturally, when an employer asks the Employment and Claims Office to supply him with an auto mechanic, for instance, he ‘will not be satisfied with a man who is equipped by training and experience to do something quite different. Even in these days when, there are plenty of jobs, the problem of placing unemployed men is not a simple one. People who note that there is a number of unemployed registered at the Unemployment Commission‘s Employment â€" and Claims Office, and that there are also vacancies listed, sometimes wonder why the unemployed perâ€" sons are not immediately placed in the vacancies. ® The answer to this question was given toâ€"day by Mr. C. W. Boyer, Manager of the Kitchenerâ€"Waterloo Employment and Claims Office, who pointed out that it is not a matter of placing individuals in vacancies but rather one of putting the right man in the right job. At the office referred to by Mr. Boyer there were 2 vacancies for bookkeepers. No fewer than 11 bookkeepers and clerks had applied (Continued on Page 8) \ _ The late Mrand Mrs. Henry Mohr came to Canada from Gerâ€" \many in 1842 and settled in North \Easthope.

The Woeek in Pictures Won‘t Permit Communist Rally The tequest was considered at last week‘s meeting, but decision to prohibit the rally was made after a telegram was received from the federal minister of justice stating the organization was illegal, and that federal authorities are still attempting to arrest leaders of Cgmmunist organizations in Canâ€" ada.

He said the reâ€" quest for the market building "came from a perfectly legal comâ€" mittee", and asserted it was "not connected with any organization." "We know as the average literal party knows that the Communist party is illegal," stated Tonner, asâ€" serting, after questioning, that "if the police department wants to make an investigation, I‘m at home at the right times". Tonner admitted that he and Peter Yastienski ‘comprise the "Kitchener Communist Commitâ€" grandchildren, 136 great grandchilâ€" dren, 236 greatâ€"great graandchilâ€" dren _ and 12 greatâ€"greatâ€"great grandchildren.
