District Conventions

“Following the annual conven- tion .we attended twenty-eight flig- trlct conventions and gave. and demonstrations at each. e conventions wane well attended. and were run in s. very cnpgblg m“. ner by the oflicere in charge. W!!! interesting west speakers were in attbndflhi-ie and presented varied‘ subjects of emicatlonal val- us.

“Our Dlitrht convention Project was the hooking of a nursery mat and many. dne examples of this handicraft were on dlqiley at each convention. ‘lihese were frequently lurked for top honours and prizes lWlfdQd. Iiiorty-flve of these mats were sold through the anice and 0316.00 was realised from this sale. This money waa returned to the individual Institutes to help swell their funds, ‘Ihrough this project some individual members have been successful in making eon- tazfs which are proving quite luc- l‘!

"You will find samples of the various years’ work on display a- long with the Boys’ and Girls’ Club plna and crests which are beln glven es prises this year. "

"During the few days between annual convention and district conventions, we plan to finish- jiiQing the club woe-k and will hold District Achievement Days early in August.

"A mimber of the clubs are int- erested in entering teams for the Dominion Competitions Play Ofls and we hope to have a. good re- presentation of senior girls from which to choose the team.

"A team from Caledonia. won the 1047 contest and had a mar- vellous trip to Ibronm in Noveim- ber and I am sure they would a- gree with me that it is something worth working for.

“We would like to prepare a Foods Team for this year s well and those interested in this tylpe of work should contact the oflice as soon as possible and l1 there are enough we will try to make the necessary arrangements.

“Five issues of the Institute News were edited and sent out durlru the year. ‘Pills pa/per forms. a vital link between the office and the individual branches and I would urge individual members to subscribe for it irl addition to the two copies which ere sent to the Secretary of each Institute. If you do not wish to do so at least make sure that the secretary brings the News to the meeting and reeds the lngiortant notices to every- body. I should also like each 1n- stituta to request the Secretary to mildiase a loose leaf note book in which to file one copy of each News so that there may be a per- maiiesit record kept for reference purposes.

filth-Sterling Relationship ls, Problem

(By June Balnbridgel IIQNDON, June 16-(R.eutersl- Relationship between the Europ- ean Recovery Program and the sterling area is believed to be the first major problem Thomas K. Finletter, newly-arrived Marshall Plan administrator to Britain, will discuss with Britain's official fin- ancial experts.

Informed circles regard the mat- ter as particularly urgent, in view of the sterling balance negotia- tions between India, Pakistan and Britain. now taking place in Lori- don.

Finletter is understood lo think it "quite wrong that the dollar cx- penditure of the remainder of the sterling area should in any on,‘ prevent Britain making. not merc- ly the maximum possible use. hut the entire use, of all European Re- covery Plan, loans and grants made to her.

It is believed that Finletter has formed some clear ideas about haw dollar expenditures of Britain and the remainder of the sterling area coulr; be serpamted (to ensure that BB1‘. dollars are spent solely on Britain's economic recovery) with- out in any way breaking up the sterling area.

In this, es in all other aspects of E. R. P. administration, it is be- lieved that although the United States has no right in dictate to anyof the E. R. P. countries what they shall or shall not do. she has a right to specify on what condi- tions American money shall be do- nated or loaned for the purpose of lfiimpean recovery.

Unofficial financial circles here agree that this is an unanswerablc sument. But they add that in Europe's present impecunlous state it would seem to be a distinction without a difference.

Amendments To Ila-employment V Insurance Act

. The amendments to the Unem- ployment Insurance Act, whlcn were recently approved by Parlia- ment.‘e.nd which will increase the benefit rates, will not become ef- fective until they are officially proclaimed. Mr. J. B. Murley. man- ager of the local office of the Na- tional Employment Service’ said yesterday. The arrangements ne cessary for this change may take some time,‘ he said.

The increases will raise the highest weekly benefit, which can be paid to e person with a de- pendent, from $14.40, the present rate. to $18.30. The maxlnrum weekly rate of benefit for a per- son without a dependent will be raised from $12.30 to $14.40, he ex- plained. _

Chan-ging economic conditions since the act came into force in 1940 havrmade amendments ne- cessarhfrom time to time, Mr. Murley aid. The present ones are to com ate for the change in wage rates. When estuaries were making their calculation for the

plcyees in the higher classes which has resulted in higher total corr- tributions by employees than by employers. so to restore that bal- ance a new contribution class for persons earning more than $34 a week has been established. The weekly contribution in this class will be A2 cents each by employer an dem-ployee. This will serve to

equalize the total employer-em- ployee contributions. Mr. Murley said.

He explained that the act is bas- ed on certain actuarial calculations and the new rates have been care- fully planned ln order to provide increases. where possible, without getting away from sound insurance principles. He pointed out that if the benefit rates were fixed too high the fund, which is for the benefit of all insured when the

need arises, would be materially reduced. The amount in the fund now,

approximately $447 millions may seem too large to the average per- son but, he said, lf only l0 per cent of the insured persons were to be- come unemployed. payments from the fund ln one year could total about $150 milllion. In the peak oi the depression of the 30's unem- "wient. reached 23 per cent. When the amendments are of- ficially proclaimed and become ef- fective all the changes will be ex- plained fully to ell emlllvyers ind workers“ interested, he said.
