During ycsterdriy, the office staffl

in ailrlitmn to taking many new clniius paid more than 200 resid- cuts of the city of Charlottetown by cash over the counter. Unemployment Insurance claims diffcr from most Insurance claims in that once the claim is taken it is paid weckly or semi-monthly for an cvtcmlcrl period of time. The

only cnmpzirahlc insurance method to Uncmplnynient Insurance is sick

ness insurance. as paid by private lrtstirnnre companies. or work- man: compensation.

Over the Christmas holidays. the on Saturday. but members of the staff did put in considerable time behind closed doors. On Monday the day preceding Christmas. the office was also officially closed. but several members of the staff worked both morning and after- nonn to cope with the rush of busi- news. It has been said that the Christmas rush in an Unemploy- ment Insurance Office starts Dcccmhcr and tcrminatcs in April.

Each ycar during this peak sea- son. the Local Office engages six

or seven extra people who can be.

trained in doing certain dutlcs, but who are not employed long enough to grasp any great know-

HANDLING APPLICATIONS

The Local Office staff believes it now has taken about sixty per- cent of the claims which can be expected in the period December to mid January. When the rush of application has ended, the office

still go on paying claimants .W9Pkl.V. and this is done under standard procedures observed

throiighoiil Canada by all Employ- ment offices. There is nothing hit or miss about the system. and the lmost complete records are kept l of every payment as to the amount the date the payment was made. and when the next payment is due. With several thousand claimants on file. there is no leeway allowed for error although occur

are received quite often about de- ilay in payments. but very few of the public are aware that the non mal elapsed time between the fil- ing of claims and the first pay- ment is about three weeks. Only in exceptional cases is there any delay whatever in the payment of iclaims.

The first week of any benefit Lcltilm is is waiting period for which the claimants receive benefits; another wcck of unem- in claimant is eligible for one .weeks pay. it will be seen then that at least two weeks must

elapse before a claimant can ex-

pcct a cheque. If the claimant happens to live in the country.

and rural claimants are paid only two weeks. three 1955

Consequently. he can not be paid ahead of time on the presumption that he will not be working. Officials of the Local Office say they have no difficulty in explain- ing to any claimant the main fea- tures of the act. Although the Un- I employment Insurance Act is com-

in pllcated. and must be studied con-

istanlly by every employee of the Unemployment Insurance Com- mission. the public have grasped its main essentials and most of them co-operate to assist the L0- cal Office in carrrylng out its func- .tinns.

Provinces Provided Most Political Activity In 1956

By ALAN DONNEl.l.Y Canadian Press Staff Writer OTTAWA ICPI--National lend-

crsllip of one of Canada's major parties changed hands late in I year which saw the provinces provide most of Canada's politi-

cal activity. A national convention of the Progressive Conservative party

chose John hiefcnbalier. 61-year- nld Saskatchewan lawyer. as its new chieftliln. The Commons member for Prince Albert suc- ceeded llnn. George Drew. forced by Ill-health to step down after eight years of guiding the party.

The anger and bitterness of the Commons pipeline battle Ilso left I deep imprint on the toss record of fr-dersl politics. SIX ELECTIONS I
