Over the two years covered by the reâ€" port about 90 per cent of the men and about 60 per cent of the women who em- igrated had been gainfully employed in Canada. The greater part of the emigrants thus came from our producing population. More. than that, the emigrating groups in- cluded a very high proportion of persons with the skill and specialized training which are particularly needed here at the present time. n I‘,A The paper shows «that, over yhe last two years, about 26,000 persons annually have left Canada.

At present, particularly, any loss of manpower is serious, when we are find- ing it necessary to consider every avail- able sourCe of manpower for defence and civilian industry. The figures used in the preparation of the paper are based on the number of ap- plications received by the 'Foreign Ex- change Control Board for change of sta- tus from resident to non-resident. They, therefore, do not include every emigrant. However, most persons leaving the coun- try do apply to the Board, and it is known that the information does cover the bulk of; em‘igrémts. Until recently, accurate estimates of the numbers and characteristics of the people leaving Canada were not available, although it was known that they Came largely from the more highly-trained and skilled part of the working force. A re- cent paper prepared by the Dominion Bur- eau of Statistics offers, for the first time, a breakdown, by age, sex, occupation and province of origin, of those emigrating during the two years ending June, 1950.

Richmond Hi“ 9 Canadians grants, although only about 55 per cent of the whole population are in this age group. A breakdown of the group shows that ab- out 38 per cent of the emigrants were aged 20 to 34, about 22 per cent were aged 35 to 49 and about ten per cent were aged 50 to 64.‘ Among the men the largest group worked in manufacturing occupations, and included such skilled tradesmen as mpchâ€" anics and repairmen, machinists, and too! die makers. Second among the occupa- tions was professional service, the group which includes doctors, engineers, teach- ers, artists and scientists. These two groups make up 40 per cent of the gain- fully occupied 'male emigrants, although they account for only 20 per cent of the country’s population. Those with occ.1pa_ tions in the trade and construction groups were also high on the lists. Of the gainfully occupied women, 84 per cent were in three occupational groups â€"â€" clerical, professional service and per- sonal service in that order. Again the proportion of emigrants in these occupa- tions was higher than the proportion in the whole population. More than 10 per cent of all gainfully occupied female enti- grants were graduate nurses. 1 - :- <n o~' The number leaving Canada in the 12 months ending June, 1950 was 23,764, a drop of 4,300 from the previous year. Howâ€" ever, there was an upward trend again during the last six months of 1950. In each year, the female emigrants outnum- bered the males by about 1,000. In the year ending June 1950, 75 per cent went to the United States and 16 per cent to the United Kingdom, and the distribution was very similar in 1949.. - The largest proportion of the emi- grants, about 4415 percent came from On- tario. British Columbia was next with about 19 per cent, followed by Quebec Wltl‘l 14 per“ cent, Alberta and Manitoba with slightly more than five per cent each and Saskatchewan with a little less than four per cent. Together, the Maritime Prov- inces and [Newfoundland supplied about seven per cent of the emigrants.

So the committee in charge of St. Mary’s RC. ’big event is pon- dering on whether to show Elsie, the cow, or this here turkey which goes under the name of “Honey Bunches” and members of the committee say all this pondering is giving them a headache. The retail propane gas (Esso- tane) business of Imperial Oil in Ontario has been purchased by Superior Propane Limited, it was announced this week. Transfer of the business was effective Septem- ber 15. Superior Propane Limited is a new company formed by a. group of Canadian businessmen with American associates. In- cluded among the assets disposed of to Superior Propane is their plant at. Maple. Existing custom- er and dealer contracts are being taken over by the new organiza- tion. Essotane Plant At Maple Sold To New Company “How much a pound do you want for it?" he was asked, but the question scandalized him. “I wouldn't take a hundred dollars for it,” he said. “How much would you take and show it do tricks at the big tur- key supper in the arena on the evening of October 3 next?” he was also asked. “‘That depends, chum. ,HO‘V would $25 be,”whe said. Trick Turkey May Be At Annual Supper Richmond Hill vbill see hun- dreds of young, luscious turkeys October 3 next in the arena, all roasted and ready for the table with heaps of dressing, cranber- ries, cakes and pies of all var- ieties along side them. “It would have given Elsie, the cow, a run for her money at the CNE if I had shown her,” says the owner, a farmer, who IIVes out the King-Schomberg way. It loves to play with the children in the yard; on a cold night it will cuddle up with the dog and cat under the kitchen stove if you tell it to close the barn door it will try to push it shut; if the wife asks it to bring her a spoon off the table she’s sure to get it.” But there may be something more, too, a real, live turkey, a bird that has so far escaped the roas‘ting pan because, according to its owner, it has a. first. class brain. Bowling Notes James Yuill, 41, of Maitland St., Toronto, was paralyzed from the neck down last night in a freak accident. Yuill, his wife and young son were hitchhiking home from a corn roast on the Vaughan R1. in Richmond Hill. The family had walked some distance along the side of No. 11 Highway and had stopped to rest. As Yuill sat down 'on a log he overbalanced and fell back. His neck struck another 10g, knocking him unconscious. Prov. Const. Ron- ald Seyfl’ert said Yuill seemed to he paralyzed from the neck down.

Frank Sullivan, star defenceman of the Marlboro Seniors, who learn- ed his junior hockey in Richmond Hill is one of six players in the Toronto Maple Leaf Organization recently farmed out to the Ottawa Senators for further seasoning. Thus for this coming winter of 1951-52 Frank will be playing his hockey with the Senators who are members of the powerful Q. S. H. L., one of Canada’s Senior Ama- teur hockey leagues. At present the Senators and Leafs have a working agreement which gives the Ottawa Club territorial and play- ing Tights in the Ottawa area. The Leaf organization has been shift- ing young players in this direction for further seasoning.

James Fitzgibbon, in command Beaver Dams, of a planned Am- e ican attack. Howeverhnowadays, it’s choco- lates rather than her historic trip that perpetuates the name of Laura Secord. Kenneth Ham of Laskay left on Friday for Waterloo where he will try out for the Waterloo Hurri- canes Junior A. If he makes the team Ken will be one step nearer his goal of a pro-hockey career, because trainees at the Waterloo Memorial Rink are watched by the scouts of the Boston Bruins.

Both men are high class wrestlers and although Mangotich is inclined to use “dirty tricks” at times, Red can also dish it out and promises the fans he will mangle the “Man- gler".
