Elle barrio Examiner Published by Canadian Newspapers Ltd Is Bayfiaid street Barrie Ontario Thousands Out Of Work Decision of the Canadian Government to scrap the Avro Arrow program was difficult one to make No doubt they opted on the advice of defence experts although there remains considerable con troversy even among them that this worlds fastest manned aircraft interl ceptor is already outmoded But the manner in which this decision was announced is tragic throwing as it has thousands of Canadians out of Jobs and sending some of our finest engineers south of the border Before the Arrow was scrapped the Government should bpve had some definite works ready so that the splendid aircraft plant and its highly trained team would not be lost it is to be hoped that immediate action will be taken to remedy this disaster in one long leap Canada has Jumped hom the age of subsonic aircraft into the era of missiles In so doing this country skipped completely the interim period of supersonic flight in manned planes The and appears near for the RCAF as combat flying force although its sgnadrons in Europe may still get new plane which would be used in effect as longrange artillery Prime Minister Dielenbaker completed the funeral rites for the supersonic Ar iow interceptor Little hope had been held for its recovery since his statement last Sept 23 He confirmed the govern ments intention to go ahead with in stallation of the Bomaro antiaircraft missilevsystemwlth the United States paying twothirds of the costand made it clear that the Eamon will be fitted with nuclear warheads The North Bay area has been prominently mentioned as the site of one of the two Human anti alrcraft missile sites to be built in can eda The point about nuclear warheads for navy and army missiles as well as the RCAFs Bomarcwas foregone conclusion because missile is not much more effective than conventional can non without thern The governments Ar row decision was based on two factors cost and intelligence reports on what the Russians are up to Apparently the first factor took priority Mr Diefenbaker indicated the remain ing cost of 100 Arrows would be about $380000000 or about $80 million more than the Bomam system Some $400000 000 has already been spent on the Arrow and about $100000000 more will be re quired to wind up the program The prime minister made clear that he be lieves the bomber threat against North America has diminished He did not re fer to statement by us Defence Bec retary Nell McEllroy that the Soviets are developing new supersonic bomber Check OnUnscrupulousness At this time of year it is not unusual to hear remarks passed about persons who would rather draw their unemploy ment insurance benefits than work The implication is that there is no particular difficulty about doing so The fact is however that every person who is in receipt of benefit must declare every time he receives money from the Unemployment Insurance Commission that he is able ready and willing to work Moreover anyone refusing an of fer of suitable employment is likely to be disqualified from receipt of benefit In order however to test the sincer ity or insincerity of persons declar fitmnthat he is able ready and willing to accept work the me must him suitable job opening to which that per son Can be referred Here is an areain which employers might well work more closely with the Commission The Commissions National Employ ment Service is designed specifically to find the right worker for the employers job and the right Job for the unemployed worker Matching the worker to the 10 is highly skilled occupation and the NE has the staff to be of great assist ance to employers in this regard Incidental to providing this service to workers and employers the Commission would be placed in much better posit ion to check on the availability for em ployment of claimants Canadas unem ployment insurance plan was created to help the unemployed through

may some day rise in swooded park on the southwestern outskirts of Mont real At the moment the zoo con ceived in 1354 and started more than year ago is stalled in the maze of Montreal municipal politics if the project is completed large part of the credit for keep ing it alive will probably be given to slim softspoken English man who virtually grew up in zoo and has dedicated his life to zoos and their inhabitants Gerald lles was picked by Monheals municipal executive to direct the creation and admini stration of the $9000000 1354 virtually municipal zoo to be built on Angrlgnoa Park

describe the public reaction to the an nouncemcnt that Prime Minister Harold Macmillan has accepted an invitation to visit Moscow and talk with Mr Khrushchev Newspaper comment is com pletely onesided in praise of this bold decision by Mr Mac millan There is great faith over berein the value of sitting down at the conference table with oaos adversaries and that is aoticaablein the tenor of the reception of the enhancement There isaiso surprising ale meat of satisfaction in the thought freely expressed that Mr Macmillan may have goon contrary to the wishes of John Foster Dulles who flew over here to see Mr Macmillan prior to tbe annoimcement that the Moscow inviiationhsd been ac cepted Some political commod tators upressed the idea that Mr Dulles mission was to try to dissuade Macmillan against the trip to Russia Eav ing been presented with that idea the British people are do lighted to an extraordinary de gree that Mr Macmillan is go ing They accept that as sign of British independence and an answer to the oftrepeat ed charge that Britain is simply political tool of the United mrcar typical comment on the Macmillan visit to Moscow is 563 The news that the prime min

Britains drive for dollar ex ports is meeting with remark able measure of success in the Latin American countries At recent meeting of the London Chamber of Commerce Dr Luis Thomeu Dominican Republic
