YOUTH EMPLOYMENT
CANADIAN PASTOTTS PLEA MONTREAL, Jan. 20. Declaring that Canada must face this year the problem of the almost lost and forgotten generation of youth that was rotting in their midst because they had nothing to do, Rev. Norman Rawson ,of Hamilton, told the members of the Kiwanis Club of Montreal to-day that he would rather choose the military labour camp with its discipline for youth as the lesser evil than allow the youth of Canada to continue to wander aimlessly about with nothing to do. "The youth of this land have been mighty patient," he declared, "and if you knew what it meant to be 21 and not wanted, to have nothing to do when your hands are aching to work and your brains full of creative enterprise, you would not • wonder that there had been a crime wave, and that there had been some sporadic outbreaks that have been carefully hushed.
