M3113’ People who qualified for seasonal and fisl1ermen’s unem- ployment insurance benefits are now being notified that they have drawn all the money to which they are entitled, reports the Unemployment Insurance Office. These are people who have not ellougll stamps for regular bene- fits but who had acquired at least fifteen stamps or contribu. tions since the 31st of March last. ,Unt11 this year. seasonal bene- fits were not payable until Jan- uary lst each year. However, in the autumn of 1957, the Regula- tions were amended to permit payments to start on December 1st of each year. Another amend- ment put into effect at the same time. made claimants, who had the minimum qualifications of fifteen weeks, eligible to draw

of the ten weeks paid previously.

‘At the present time, for every six_ contributions or stamps a claimant has in his ‘insurance book,’ he is granted five weeks benefits. The claimants who have now reached the stage where they can no longer draw benefits, are those who had only fifteen stamps to their credit when their claims were approved.

Many other‘ seasonal fishermen benefit claimants will draw for longer periods because, they worked langer and had more stamps earned. It is possible for some of them under recent am- endments, to draw-benefits well into the month of May.

For seasonal benefit purposes, only those contributions or stamps whoch have been carried since the 31st of March 1957, are taken into account.

DATES CONFUSED

The local office points out that some claimants become confused over the fact that seasonal un- employment benefits are payable between December 1st and rough- ly May 15th. These claimants seem to have the impression that this entitles them to draw for that period, but they can draw only according to the number of insurance stamps recorded in their books at the ratio cited above—five weeks for every six weeks stamps. ,

As an example of how this works out, some fishermen who had fifteen stamps of the highest denomination, $1.20, were able

last Parliament. Mr. Macdonald stated that the price will be set by an advisory board made up of farmers and farm organization representatives.

He also explained why potatoes was not one of the nine named commodities in the new Agricul- tural Stabilization Bill. Chiefly it is because it is not an agricul- tural‘ product common to all farming areas. He also mention- ed that all representatives of the Horticultural Council who ap- peared before the agricultural committee stated they did not want or expect a support price on potatoes. Like any other farm commodity it can be placed un- der support.

He recalled that in speaking on the Bill in the House he made a strong plea for a» decent floor price when the occasion war- ranted support. He pointed out that the last floor price offered by the Liberal Government to the Potato Marketing Board was 20-30 cents per bushel.

He cited the greatest proof of '

the value of the Bill"was that on. third reading it passed un- anlmously. was strongly ap- proved by all farm organiza- tions. and that the Liberals are being very insincere in criticiz- ing an Act which their leader and ther party strongly support- ed in the House "of Commons. ,Mr. Heath Macquarrie, the next speaker, said that the Canadian electorate can in this election compare two known Governments, He then said “Actions speak louder than words"_

The next speaker was Mr,

- -Tom Bell, Parliamentary As-

sistant to the Minister of Trade and Ccmmer‘ee_’ He stated that since Confederation the Mari- times have suffered from econo- mic disability, which was soon ended with the Diefenbaker Go- vernment. One of the first things they did was aid the Maritimes_ and for Masritimers this‘ new era has just begun. When Mr,

Diefenbaker acquires his clear

mandate, the Maritimes will reach an economic status that was heretofor undreamed of, he said.

Other speakers were'Dr. J'_ A. MacMillan, Senator MacDonald, Andrew MacRae and Russell Driscoll.

New Cu’r

OTTAWA (CP)—A new order to take effect late this summer will further reduce the strength of Canada’s militia, it was learned Wednesday. ,

Strength of the reserve army has been steadily declining in re- cent years. It now standsiat some 4l,000——7,000 officers and 34,000 other ranks—comipai\ed to 47,000 three years ago.

The new order decrees that only 10 per cent of a militia u»nit’s strength may be over-age or in low physical categories. At pres- ent, 25 per cent of -a unit's es- tablishment-—in effect, its man- power cei1ing—may be over-age or not in A-1 physical condition. RETIREMENT AGE VARIES

Retirement age from the mil- itia varies according to rank and trade. But, generally, it is 50 for corporals and below and 55 for non-commissioned officers. For officers, the retirement age range from 45 for lieutenants to 55 for brigadiers and above. In some trade categories, the retire- ment age is 60 for both officers and other ranks.

Officials said Wednesday they could not estimate by how much

dow ‘shades for the church.

Militia Strength ”

sgrength of the militia. In some units, there might be no decrease but, over-all, there would be a reduction of hundreds and per- haps thousands. ,

Militia strength has declined by about 1,000 since the government announced last year that summer training camps for units were being eliminated and that the re- serve army. would devote more training time to civil defence. TRAINING DAYS CUT

Number of training days in the militia was cut to 40 from 60. meaning a one-third cut in pay for reserve soldiers. This pay re- duction will mean a saving of about $5,000,000 to the defence de- partment this year.

The navy now is in the process of reducing its reserve strength by six per cent. When the reduc- tion is completed the reserve will number 4,400-—1,100 officers and 3,300 men. This number will be set as a, manpower ceiling for the naval reserve.

No decrease in RCAF reserve strength is planned. It now stands at about 5,100 or some 500 less than a year ago.
