The biggest » problem confronting the office, is to pay all of the claiants, who are due to receive payments this week, in time for Christmas shopping. In an all-out effort to achieve this objective, the regular otfice staff is being helped by 191 extra workers and this working force y2,000 Drawing Benefifs ,Af Employment Office was on duty throughout Monday until 11 o’clock at night. Yester- day the same routine was carried out, and all hands remained at their desks till a late hour in the evening. , The job of paying clty claimants by cash over the counter in time for Christmas. is only one side of the problem. The people in the country must have their cheques mailed at the earliest moment if they are to reach them in time for Christmas spending. Need For Caution Stressed By Fire, Police Officials The need for caution to pre- vent both highway tragedies and fires in the home over the holi- day season was emphasized yes terday by senior police and fire officials. Inspector E. L. Martin, in charge of the P.E.I. Detachments of the R.C.M.P.',‘aldvised motor- ists going to holiday parties to leave their vehicles at home. :The inspector noted the splendid record the province made during "Safe Driving Week" when it was- accident free and quoted from a recent report of the highway safe— ey conference in which it was stated, “There has been a reduc~ tion in accidents over the last year and the improvement is en- couraging." City Police Chief C. W. Mac— Arthur pointed out the co-opera— tion of the public in the city to date this year as an example of what can be done to protect both motorists and pedestrains. “We have had a mini-mum of accidents with no fatalities”. he said.” Ihope this type of co- operation will continue to the end the year, and for many more years.” Provincial Fire Marshal Earl T. MacLeod stressed the necessity of great care where Christmas trees are concerned. He said that fire is a constant danger unless pro- per precautions are taken. Standing a tree in a pail of water was suggested as a good way to reduce the possibility of fire. The tree should also be in- spected frequently to see that needles are not turning brown in the vicinity of decorative lights. He warned that in case of fire outbreaks in public places the fire department should be called im- mediately. He called for calmness rather than panic when leaving such buildings. The fire marshal solicited the cooperation of everyone in mak- ing this a Merry Fire-Safe Christ- mas. P.E.I. Tree Exports Through St. Stephen Show Decrease ‘ST. STEPHEN CP -—- Tree ex- ports through St. Stephen from New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island were re- ported by the Canadian Customs here Tuesday. From New Brunswick, a total of 372.404 trees, valued at $168,- 879, passed through St. Stephen. counpared with 265,739 trees at an estimated value of $145,343 last year. Second largest exporter was Nova Scotia which moved 205,596 trees, estimated at $107,448, “Wish the border town. Prince Edward Island exports dropped from 19,818 trees in 1957 to 5,568 trees this year, valued at $2.983- Blame Tires And Footwear The last two cars were shipped yesterday for New York. Guy Acheson of St. Stephen, a large contractor and shipper, stated that a buyer in Detroit, was able to take 100 ad- ditional cars of trees from him. Mr. Acheson, who shipped 25 cars less this year than last, re- ported that“ trees in Charlotte County were getting scarce. The St. Stephen Customs also reported 121 Moose shot in New- foundland crossed the interna- tional bridge here during the hunting season. A total of 461 deer, 129 less than last year crossed the border from New Brunswick gamelands, w h i l e American hunters in Nova Scotia took back 1,157 deer, compared with 504 last year. ' 1t was explained by officials o." the office. that the task which confronted the staff as the week commenced. was to carry out five days work, in two days. Yesterday afternoon. the office was keeping pace with its pro- gram, and it was felt than every claimant to whom money was due would have a cheque or cast by today. Wednesday. Every Nation-a1 employment Of- fice in Canada has had the same problem thrust upon it this year, with Christmas coming in mid- week, and the day after Christ- mas, Boxing Day, a holiday. Every office has had to organize well beforehand to meet the emergency. and the Charlottetown Office is not alone in being under pressure. More than a month ago when the number of benefit claims started to rise rapidly, the office was able to call on a number of people who had been employed as worers in the office in other years; some of the mas much as three years in succession. Around these people a nucleus of new casuals was trained to assist the office in the work which arises from the annual rush of seasonal unemployment. Several people Were trained to take claims, others Were instruct- ed in filing duties, still more were trained to work in the postal pay- ment section. The postal payment section looks after the payment country claimants. It was also necessary to bol- ster the records department and the cash payment section of the office. The cash payment section carried out the payment of Char- lottetown residents, who are paid by cash over the counter once a week. Country claimants on the other band, are paid by cheque every two weesk. Practically all of the people in the office except the senior of- ficers, specialize in their various duties. At times, when necessary, people can be transferred from one task to another, but these must be well qualified people. The number of people drawing benefits now is well over 3,000; between 300 or 400 more than was the case a year ago. It is diffi- cult to say, according to the of- ficials, whether Ilhe total claim load will go higher than last year. It is possible that the cold weather has forced people out of employment earlier than a year ago when the weather was mild. There is one encouraging factor; construction Isat a fairly high level for this time of year, and most of the jobs which are now underway will go forward during the winter. Some of them have closed down for the Christmas holidays, but will resume after the New Year. WEATHER TORONTO ‘L‘l’l —— Tempora- 1u1'es issued by the weather office: Min. Max.
