At the end of November there were, on the live register of the of- fice, 97 unref erred males and 36 un- referred females. Claims for bene- fits from Unemployment Insurance have increased greatly a's a result, and approximately 100 have qualified for such and are receiving weekly benefits which are paid by the Lo- cal Office by Government Warrants. A large nurmber of these are in a locality where certain w«r work was discontinued and for whom no other employment is readily available. To these individuals. Unemployment Ih- surance ha's amply justified itself and has been a most desirable pro- tective medium during and for an unemployed period. Four statutory conditions must be complied with when registering a claim, viz: one hundred and eighty days contribu- tions in the two year period imme- diately prior to registering for claim; must be capable of and avail- able for employment; register in the proper manner for such claim: and has not refused to attend a School of Training if so requested.

Sailor Saw Action In Front Lines In Italy | The Advance editor had a pleasant call frona a young man on Monc^. who has had quite an expent-c during the past year and who travelled as far away as Austraii^i This te Jim Williamson, son of Dr and Mrs. Frank Williamson of Wiarton and nephew of Mr. Walter Williamson of the Old Durham Road, with whom he is visiting at the pre- i sent time. A ytar and a half ago Jim joined the Canadian Merchant Marine as a seaman and besides making several trips across the Atlantic, spent some time in Italy and northern Africa. It was while at Cassablanca that he met his cousin, Matthias Williamson, who is a stoker on one of the ocean freighters. This summer both of them were working on the *ame ship on one trip to England. He has jusi returned "rom a trip to Australia, travelling through the Panama Can- al and enjoyed the trip greatly and also the time spent in Australia. He visited at Melbourne, Sydnney and Brisbane. Jim had quite an experience w^hile his ship w«s unloading in Italy, when he and a chum hitch-hiked up to the front line in the Po Valley and was i.i the front line with the troops Thfs he found out by. the amount of action which was taking place, shells exploding and bullets whistling over- head. He claims that he was cer- tainly scared. The Military Police found them and returned the boys to their ship. The Canadians had al- ready left for France when he had that e.xperience. and British troo<pte were doing the fighting in the -area where the Canadians had been. Jim has put in his application to join the Canadian Navy and is now awaiting his medical e.xamir*ation. He loves the sea and will be glad to get back on the job again. We wish him the best of luck. Two of Three Brothers Who Served Their Country , Apahy Of Electors S£RGr. FRANK GRAHAM Sons of Mr. a.nd Mrs. Ar LAC ARCHIE GRAHAM I Recently The Advance published an article in regard to the apathy o£ :he electors in not attending the nomination meetings. The Tara Leader also discusses the problem, a's follows: ' Lack of interest in municiapl elec- i tions is not confined to Tara, as ia shown by reports of many nomina- tion meetings throughout the dis- trict. In quite a number, acclama- tions were the order of the day. re- ! tiring mayor^, reeves, eounciUoirs, I etc. being returned to office withotrt : opposition.
