Defected Diplomai’Said
Anxious To ‘Return Home
LONDON (AP)—Guy Burgess, one of two high - ranking British diplomats who defected to Russia is reported anxious to come home.
, Michael Ingrams, a television official who spent four th-s in the Soviet Union .making films, ‘says Burgess is asking British visitors whether he would be ac- cepted here.
, Donald Maclean, ‘the other dip- zlomat who crossed the iron cur- tain with Burgess, also came .’back into the news after months of obscurity. The mass circula- tion SundayPictorial reported he has split with his 41 - year - old .Amenican wife, Melinda, a-nd that ;she wants to get their three chil- _0ren out of Russia.
The report said Mrs. Maclean has appealed for help to British and U.S. authorities.
Ingrams brought no word of ‘Maclean except that he lives in In pleasant house in a Moscow ssuburb with his family and that ‘the three children, who go to I
state school, speak only Russian. COLONY OF “RUNAWAYS”
The television official -told re- porters Soviet authorities let him mix freely with the people and he met a. small colony of “run- away Britons.”
“I refused invitations to attend their parties and to meet Burgess,” Ingrams said. “But they talked a lot about him. They told me he was most unhappy and looking very old.
“He is keen to meet Britml visitors because he wants to get back to England. He is contin- ually asking people from this countryif they think he would bet accepted here.”
Ingram-s added that Burgess is drinking heavily and has only one close friend, a Russian miner.
Burgess and Maclean disap- peared from .London in 1951. Rus- sia never officially admitted they had crossed the iron curtain, but the two diplomats finally held a press conference inMoscow in 1956 to confirm reports that they

In 1957 the Cliarloltetown Old Age Security Office forwarded 83,685 cheques totalling $3.808,- 058.00 to persons in this Province who are seventy years of age or older. The entire amount of this payment was paid from Federal Funds.
This information was announc- ed recently by Mr. A.S. Tait, re- gional director of Old Age Securs ity.
The following table shows the number of pensioners , in this province and the total payments made by months for the year
1957:
§ Pensioners Cheques Issued ayments

payment for the month of July over the month of June can be seen in the above table.‘ This is due to the first increase in the amount of the pension from $40 to $46 per month. A second in- crease in the monthly amount of the pension from $46 to $55 was made effective with the month of November, thus making the total payments for November much greater than the total pay- ments for October.
“The Regional Office continues to receive application forms from persons after they have reached their seventieth birthday. Be- cause of the delay in making ap- plication, the applicant has lost one or more months pension, as payments can only be made com- mencing with the month follow- ing the month when the applica-

Habit is the enemy. We have got into the habit of hav- ing most of our work done during the summer months with -
are often not available to finish the work within a reason- able time. Many men are seasonably unemployed in Char- lottetown and vicinity, during every winter.
The loss in wages adversely affects every business establishment in the City and the I payment of unemploy- ment service benefits only partly relieves the situation.
It is necessary to substitute common sense for habit and distribute the work to be done as evenly as possible throughout the year. This, like the breaking of any bad habit, requires a real effort.
The saving of -time and money to the householder_ and businessman; the spread of employment over the whole year for the worker; the intelligent use of all our resources of manpower, material, transportation and storage; can add to the prosperity and well being of all our citizens.
Do the job while there are men and materials avail- able. The National Employment Office in Charlottetown
