Mr. Barclay told his wife by phone last night, he and 15 men were making headquarters in an old log cabin on the Mink Lake road. Temperature in the area dropped close to zero during the night.

The government reported today that at Oct. 17 persons without jobs and looking for work had in- creased by 24,000 during the month to 237,000 and employment had dropped by 25,000 to 6,053,- 000. i All of the decline In employ- ment came. in farm jobs, where there was a drop of 52,000, while those at work in non-farm indus- : 27,000. try inevepsad. by : The unemployment figure was eonsidérably brighter than a year was heading into a winter of ed a high of 536,000 last January. Those out of work in October, 1958, numbered 313,000. Besides those without jobs for October, the bureau of statistics --which estimated the monthly survey figures -- listed 14,000 on temporary layoff in October, against 12,000 in September and 16,000 a year earlier. Those with jobs in October showed a sizeable jump over the same month of last year when there were 5,864,000 persons at work, 189,000 less than this year. In the meantime, the labor had risen to 6,290,000 from 6,177,- The number of persons with non-farm jobs went up to 5,355,- 000 from 5,328,000 in September. The figure for October of last year was 5,135,000, Right Wingers Retain Mine Local Control SUDBURY (CP) -- Miner Don Gillis today retained control of Canada's largest union local, de- feating an old-guard faction seek- ing to win back Local 508 of the International Union of Mine, Mill and Smelter Workers (Ind.). But his winning edge, which was 6,000 to 4,000 last March, was trimmed by Nels Thibault, who tackled Gillis after stepping down as national president of the Red-tinged international Union. Final unofficial returns from Tuesday's voting by nickel indus- try workers gave Gillis more than 7,000 votes against nearly 6,000 for Thibault. All on Gillis' 16-man slate were elected. Election officials said a record 13,255 members voted in Tues- day's election, turning out in the wake of a vigorous campaign. The heavy vote had indicated a Gillis viefory against Thibault, 43, a former Sudbury miner high in Mine-Mill leadership echelons. The apparent clincher came with returns from the Falcon- bridge polling station, tradition- ally a stronghold of supporters of the national union. Gillis cap- tured it with a personal vote of $67 to 471 for Thibault, Previous elections in the locals history have indicated that any heavy election turnout favors op- ponents of the so-called old guard who have dominated the local's affairs for some years. It was a free-swinging cam- paign--as bitter as any in Cana- dian labor history although no precedent for Local 588--culmin- ating in strict efforts to make Tuesday's voting free of any interference. But violence was missing, although it had reached traditional proportions earlier in bar-room fisticuffs. Police protection was given in CITY EMERGENCY PHONE NUMBERS POLICE RA 5-1133 FIRE DEPT.

Voters had their hands stamped with a blue im- print to guard against any at- tempts to cast ballots more than once. Ballot counting was slowed by the checking of names and sig- natures against a master list. Gillis, 45, a miner and district reeve, rode to victory last March, wake of a long strike against the International Nickel Company and the subsequent signing of a labor agreement providing a |wage increase of two cents an hour. This time, Thibault, stepping aside as national leader to seek Local 598's presidency which he once held for several years, raised fresh issues. Confronted himself with charge of pro- communism, he accused Protest- ant Gillis of acting under direc- force--those available for jobs--| upsetting the old guard in the| CREDIT PROFILE TORONTO (CP) -- Here is a picture of the average Canadian as given by those who grant him credit: He is a good manager of his |own affairs; he is well able to {look after obligations which he {takes on; and he, shows little | tendency to commit himself be- yond his ability to pay. The picture comes from offi. cials of the Federated Council of Sales Finance Companies, as given at a press conference fols| lowing the organization's annual meeting here Monday and Tues- ay. Backing up their view, they say that less than one per cent of credit handled by sales finance companies is more than 30 days in arrears. Even in instances of long strikes the record is good. Sales finance companies fi- nance sales made on credit, both lin the retail and wholesale fields. {In effect, they take over the ac- | count. | In the year ending Sept. 30 Find Canadians Good Managers sales finance companies in Can- ada extended an estimated $1, 400,000,000 in wholesale credit to durable goods dealers, of which $1,250,000,000 was for whalesale financing of new motor vehicles.

Gillis, who campaigned last March on a clean-out-the-Commu- nists campaign, also urged affil- iation with the Canadian Labor Congress. Mine-Mill was ban- ished from the organized labor affiliation 10 years ago for being Communist-controlled. The CLC, while officially re- maining aloof, kept a watching brief on the Sudbury situation and offered behind-the-scenes support for the Gillis group. Support from was given freely to Thibault's campaign.

"Whether we will take over the operation of Mountain View, will depend on whether Mr. and Mrs. Hlavac decide to leave to take up foreign missionary work," Mrs. Whyte said. PLAN TO LEAVE A report from Winnipeg Tues- day said the Hlavacs planned to leave early in 1960 for five years in Africa. Mountain View was built in 1911. Ownership of the 33-room building has changed many times since.

The OTTAWA (CP)--The Board of Broadcast Governors today stuck to its original proposal to regu- late Canadian content in televis- ion, but gave TV stations 17 months to get their programing ready, Beginning April 1, 1961, the gov- ernors will require that for the following year the programming content of each TV station be 45- per-cent Canadian during every four-week period. Then, starting April 1, 1962, the content require- ment will be increased to 55 per cent, Until April 1, 1961, there will be no minimum require- ment. 1 In effect, the board, in its TV regulations announced today, has relaxed slightly its original pro- area is divided into seven sec- posal to apply a straight 55-per- tors, each with a head ters for controlling all anti-submarine warfare operations and forces in that sector. "This chain of areas extends from Newfoundland to the Carib- bean and Gulf of Mexico."

""You can well imagine that if this lethal weapon is exploded over some country there will be nothing left there at all," Khrush- chev told a meeting of Soviet journalists. But he said the So- viet government is "ready to sink all this in the sea in the interests of ensuring peace on earth . , if other countries will follow our example." Khrushchev's speech was made Friday, but the text was not re- leased until Tuesday night. The Russian leader said he was making public the rocket produc- tion figures to back up his 1958 announcement that Russia was turning out intercontinental ball istic missiles. He did not indicate whether the plant he referred to was producing all of Russia's nu- clear-headed rockets. Seven Hurt In Two-Car Collision Six Oshawa women and a three-month-old boy were injured in' a two-car collision on Park Rd., late Tuseday night. Mrs. Susan Lowe, 848 Parklane Dr., the driver of one car, spent the night in Oshawa General Hospital. She had a slight con- cussion, a cut on her head and bruised legs. Mrs. J. Gibbs, 825 Bessborough Dr., a passenger in the Lowe car, is suffering from concussion and a neck injury. Mrs. C. Donald, 417 Rosemount Ave., another pas- senger, was also admitted to hos- pital after the collision. The driver of the other car, Mrs. Gerald Benn, 813 Sylvia St., suffered head and leg cuts. A cut in her leg required 20 stitches to close. Mrs. Benn's 'three-month-old son, Paul, had a chest injury. A passenger in the Benn car, Mrs. Gwen Woodcock, 720 Simcoe St. S., was treated for a broken nose Output "Soviet the Soviet Union has changed its policy and therefore it has be- come easier to talk with us," Khrushchev said. "This is wrong, of course. Communists we were born, Communists we live--and will not die but continue tq march {onward as Communists." Khrushchev said a sincere de- sire for peace, not any military, economic or political weakness, prompted the proposal for total disarmament he presented to the United Nations during his Amer- {ican visit. He said he was em- powered to "sign immediately" a disarmament agreement during this visit, "Some fn the West clatm that| "Rule Programs To Be 55 Per Cent Canadian low programming in the 6 a.m. to-noon period if a station can satisfy the board that a high- standard service will be offered-- as required in the 1958 Broad- casting Act. This rule, which went into ef- fect as of Nov. 15, will apply to stations now broadcasting in the morning and wanting to extend their program hours. No reference was made in the regulations themselves to the board's original proposal to re- serve two hours in the peak-view- ing period between 8 and 11 p.m. for BBG - prescribed programs neeting the proposed 55-per-cent rule, However, the board did say in a stat t ing the regulations that the BBG will not be satisfied with a station's per formance if its required Canadian content is made up mostly out side these peak hours.

Both radio and TV have been governed by this set of rules, pending the special regulations for TV.
