Fewer Reported Unemployed During Christmas Season

The number of unemployed peo- ple in King's and Queen's count- ies. including Charlottetown, is ap- proximately fifteen per cent less than at Christmas time one year ago. according to officials of the local National Employment Office The number of people drawing unemployment insurance benefiu is also lower than a year ago. 725 as of Dec. 24th as against approx- :mately 850 at the same date in 1950. It was explained by the local of- fice that all the people registered as unemployed were not drawing benefits. but only those who qual- ified under the provisions of the Unemployment Insurance .Act. It was pointed out that for the most part. those not eligible had not worked long enough in insurable employment to meet the require- ments of the Act. A few others not eligible were people who were un- able to work through sickness: the act insures against unemployment but not against illness. This is in line with the practice of oral ary insurance companies. who sell s ck- noss policies. but will not pay ben- efit: to people who are, out of work. but not sick. ,.,

The great majority of the people out-of-work are idle because of seasonal conditions. and.the stop- page of many forms of activity due to winter weather. Less people are shown on the unemployed list this year because of defence contracts being carried. out by Maritime Cen- trsl Airways and Bruce Stewart dc Co. Ltd. These two companies be- tween them are employing about two hundred extra people steadily

Though the Unemployment In- surance Act had been in force more than ten years, local office offic- iuls stated that some people still had very little grasp of the man- ner in which it operates

It was emphasized by the offic- tale that the local office had no D)WCi' either to approve an ap- plicants claim or to turn it down.

If the applicant meets the con- ditions of the Act. no one can pre- vent him from drawing benefits. Similarly. if he can't qualify. no one in Canada can do anything to make his claim valid. "
