Dear Editor:
Congratulations are in order to Summerland’s businesses and citizens. It seems we have reached a new level of employment – 100 per cent.
We are probably the first community of our size that has no unemployment.
This must be, or so it would seem to be.
For more two weeks now I have had an ad posted in the local works place on Rosedale asking for an able-bodied person to do some gardening and minor orchard jobs.
I’m offering $15 an hour to someone that can handle a spade, a rake and possibly a small chain saw.
This is part-time work quite suitable perhaps for a strong, young lad who wants to earn some extra spending money on weekends.
Or someone who is unemployed and could use some ready cash (without deductions.)
So far, I haven’t had any takers, so I can only assume that there is no one in town that hasn’t already obtained work.
One hundred per cent employment! Wow! That must be first in Canada.
Call me – I’m in the book.
Frank Martens
