(CP)Ever read romantic tales of life in a lighthouse, where waves thunder and ships founder and the wind shrieks eerily? . The're puro imagination, Dave Dean, keeper of Cape” Mudge light on the frowning coast of British Columbia, believes. He scoffs at such tales and calls them the work of dewy-eyed stenographers written after one visit to a lighthouse. "In our case, "he says, “we have a nice house, a garden, a workshop and ea garage on the plot of ground we call home." But he admits, the life is lonely and requires a particular type of mentality to tolerate the siience.: Mr. Dean, who lives with his wife at the lighthouse, pointed out that there was a time when keepers were men with young children. But since youngsters grew up. jobs to parents with grown-up families. ‘Up at the Cape Mudge -- region of the worst rip tides on the coast and where fog comes in like a black velvet curtian--Mr. Dean hes not seen any great wrecks although he recalls meny small craft capsizing.

TRENDS IN OCCUPATIONS IN CANADA Occupation statisties have been collected in Canada since *he first decennial census in 1871 and will again form an integral part of the Ninth Decennial Census in June this year. Probably noothsr single fact tells as ‘jquarter were thus employed, and the percentage hes fallen ‘jsharply during and since the war. On the other hand, five - jper cent of the females in the labour force were clerical with its wealth of resources of farm, forest, mine, . water power and scenic beauty. The standard of livjng of the Canadian people rose, and the development of new ~ products created new types, of jobs. The growth of manu- facturing industries and ‘of the services was accompanied iby a steady movement of people from farm to urban centrea As a result, agricultural. decupations declined in rela- tive Importance -=in' 1901,46 per cent of all males in the labour force in. Canada were agricultural workers, while in 1941 less than 32 per cent but still over -1, 000, ooo, were so engaged. -- and, on the other hand, the propa tion of males in manufacturing, trade, transport and service occupa b tone increased. “It has become increasingly common for women to work outside the home. Women in the labour force numbered 258,000 in 1901. and 853,000 in 1941. It is expected that the 1951 Gensus will show their number to exceed 100,000. In 1901, more than one-third of all females in the labour foree were domestic servants; in 1941 less than one- orker in 1901, whereas in 1941 the proportion was 19 per cent. In 1901 there were only about 3,000 women 78,000. Inereased educational opportunities and changing atti tudes regarding women's status have enabled women to qualify for a wide variety of professional oecupations-— | las doctors; journalists, librarians, social welfere ; orkers --in addition to the older professions of teack- ing and nursing. - In the 1951 Census the enumerator will ask every man land woman of wroking age who worked, had a job but did ot work at it, .or was looking for work during the week previous to the census date the AMeEiion(Cent td Page 10} much about the individual as does his occupation. Being the mans determines where and how he lives, his possessions, his frienis and associates, his intellectual standards, and many other chings. It is, in fact, a prime factor in determining both his sconomic and social status. In broader yerspestivs, the occupational structure of the © peoplis at any given time reveals to a large extent the economic and social status of the country as a whole, while ocsupati = .i trends data disclose the economic growth and te:niologieal advancement of the nation. At the beginning of this century, approximately (excluding children under 10° years‘ of age} were in the labour force, working to. produce the goods and services the Canadian people wented. By 1941 the number in the labour force had grown to 4,500,000 or 48 per cent of the population of similar. age. — In these 40 years, occupational patterns changed greatly, reflecting the rapid development of Canada wy waich he earns his liveJihood it frequently 4 |f BOLOGNA y-shiced 5 DEPARTMENT STORE MEI FOOD ic?
