A new shortage has been discov-
cred in Paris, along with the sugar,
coal, labor and sundry others. And
it is one many of us have had to
contend with.
1t is practically impossible to OBJ
tain repairs on any class or variety
Of time-peices in less than month
or six weeks. For some unknown
reason local jewellers and watch
makers have been deluged with calls
for repairs on watches and clocks in
the past few weeks and the shops
are filled with the time-giving OBJ
jects facing a reconstruction period.
With the shortage of time has
come a shortage of watchmakers to
relieve the situation. This shortage
was explained by local jeweler
who explained that fewer young
men were becoming apprentice
watchmakers each year. Work on
the delicate internal workings of a
watch taxes the eyesight, he said
eventually imparing the vision and
the present-day young men are "let-
ting the other fellow do it,"
