of dover the stanley theatre written especlalliy for the the stouffville tribune by dean wjisou the socalled political crisis has been lessened considerably in ott awa by the 143 to 70 favourable vote of confidence for the govern ment on an amended main motion that this house will aid the gov ernment in maintaining a vigorous war effort but the latest stories heard now backstage along parlia ment hill since the special session closed seem to impress so deeply this veteran observer with the act ual gravity of the war situation at this moment that it cannot be said that conditions may not occur i or that it may not be beyond any possibility to warrant some change of present plans though this parl iament stands adjourned to janu ary 31 1945 it is evident that cir cumstances alone will decide the serious demeanour and anxiety ex pressed in the faces of leaders in this nations capital at this time do not suggest at all that the stormy political horizon has been cleared completely by the recent special session the political excitement appears to have abated for a short tiirie only there are hints behind the scenes that it may be tempor ary indeed even if there are signs on the outside that the political tension has been eased to some ex tent on the matter of reinforce ments for overseas depending greatly on happenings abroad in answer to the popular query if draftees conscripted for overseas service will be given embarkation leave it can be stated here that in formation has disclosed in ottawa that those men will be allowed em barkation leave any misunderstanding caused by critical comment on the much talked of orderincouncil which was passed in the recent moment ous emergency session and wjjich made 10000 draftees available for overseas service it rriust be ment ioned immediately that the highest authorities in ottawa hold that no promises have been made to any one that 16000 is the limit this is mentioned at this time on account of a widely circulated allegation that 16000 is the final limit such allegation is not true according to the best sources in ottawa 4c if messrs mulock arid mcgregor members of parliament north and east york voted as followed in the

features syndicate there are a great many elderly people across canada who have been or are employed during this war these people will be most in- lorostcd to learn that the minister of labor hon humphrey mitchell has pointed out in ottawa what their position is in so far as benefits under the unemployment insur ance act are concerned if they are laid off work on account of age or declining efficiency the minister of labor has stated that one of the main conditions for receipt of benefit under the unemployment insurance act is that the claimant is incapable of and available to work but unable to get suitable employment this being covered under section 28 subsection 3 of the said act if the elderly person makes a claim for benefit the official looks at the persons em ployment record and finds out whether or not this person is cap able of and available for work with the fact that this person had been recently employed being evidence if an employer laid him off because of declining efficiency it may be and each case would have to be judged on its merits that suitable employment for the claimant would be of a slightly lighter nature than his previous employments possibly with some modification on his en ployment conditions said in part hon mitchell he said also that there was no age ceiling under the act and that benefits have been paid to claimants who were about eighty years of age adding that unerhployment insurance is a pro tection for employable people who become unemployed and it is riot intended as a substitute for health insurance or for old age pensions
