"No Man Is Too Old At 50 Now"

MORE JOBS FOR THE ELDERLY SOON

-Mr. ERNEST BROWN "THE 'too old at 40' idea is dead. I'll invent a new slogan now-Why not be young at 50?”” Mr. Ernest Brown, Minister of Labour, said this recently after he had conducted an intensive investiga- tion of employment conditions in the Brighton and Worthing areas.

"It has long been obvious to me that the man who was at onc time too old the moment he passed his 40th birthday is now almost a youth in business," he said.

"The reservoir of juvenile labour is drying up, and during the next ten years will be very much smaller than it is to-day. "TRYING TO IMPRESS INDUSTRY"

"The elderly man will soon have his day. awake to the fact now, and I am trying to industry daily.

SKILLED MEN WANTED"

"There is an unsatisfied demand for skilled men, mainly in the en- gineering Irudes is the south-eastern counties.

"When industry begins to real- Ine that the youth springs are not flowing so freely as they did, then man with a trade at the cideris hile lands will find employment reaching out for him."

Speaking of his plans to confer with the managers of more than 58 employment exchanges in the south- eastern division to-day, Mr. Brown told me: "One of the subjects to be reviewed will be domestic service conditions."
