safe level The Barrie Examiner PublishEd by Canadian Newspapers Ltd 16 Bayfield Street Barrie Ontario PAGE FOUR SATURDAY AUGUST 27 1960 Take Long Hard Look About EDITORIAL Canadas Employment Data Its high time we stopped pretending and faced facts Canadas unemployment figures have taken an unusual turn for this time of the year and almost at the same time the unemployment insurance fund has been drained to startling de gree at Is there more sinister meaning be hind it all than just statistical figures The total number of workers in Canada on July 23 was listed at 311000 about 11000 more than the midJune unem ployment mark Normally unemployment would still be dropping off until some time in September when seasonal idle ness starts to take its toll Much of these statistics are based on the number of unemployed drawing un employment insurance About fourfifths of the Canadian labor force is sheltered under the umbrella of this fund making it relatively reliable barometer of job lessness Just how many of those 311000 unem ployed are actually working at part time or even fulltime lob while collect ing insurance is open to conjecture But the odds are good that healthy pro portion of them are committing fraud against the commission and in effect against those of us who are contributing regularly into the kitty The fundstood at $300363000 at the end of July slightly above the June balance which was below $20 million ent the intent James McGregol head of the Unem ployment Insurance Commissions insur ance board explains that most people think its kind of savings account Ac tually he points out its more like fire insurance Many people pay in so the few who lose their property can be help ed out However an unofficial guess would indicate that there may be more than minority who take another view because in the fiscal year 105900 alone the overall fraud loss may be as high as Good News Re Fallout Good news everybody new evidence about the behavior of fallout from nuc lear explosions indicates the threat from radioactive strontium may be much less than once estimated Analysis of new data suggests that even if Hbombs were dropped on the northern hemisphere in an allout

becomes sometimes hard to reach to those for whom it wu intended The UJC has served good purpose in the 20 years it has been serving Can adians It has smoothed out the highs and the lows of purchasing power by ex tending to otherwise inactive consumers the ability to buy It has helped keep the economy of the nation on an even keel in times of seasonal unemployment But the time has come for conscient lous study to weigh the pros against the cons We cannot justifiably link all tlhe increase in unemployment to peo ple who commit infractions against the commission At the same time however way must be found to streamline the program and inexpensively eliminate fraudulent cases except those in areas relatively close to the explosion points would not exceed the maximum permissible

less costly for the city to permit more apartment areas than to build tenmilliondollar thruways to take citizens to the suburbs We have heard Torontonians bewailing their fate that often requires they
