Months ago July 5 was declared the "appointed Day" for operation of the National Insurance, National Health and National Assistance Acts. In genera] everyone from school- leaving to retirement age -- 65 for men and 60 for women--comes un- der the compulsory insurance provi- sions, They make payments for pro. tection against: ill-health, unem- ployment, property and old age Even married women who share the benefits of their husbands' insur- ance may elect to be insured in their own right. The basic figure of benefit is 26 shilings ($5.20) weekly in unem- ployment, sickness and retirement, plus 16 shillings ($3.20) for an adult dependent, 7s 6d. For the first child under school-leaving age. Additional children are covered by the five shillings weekly payable under the Family Allowances Act. Three classified groups are estab. lished for contributions and bene- fits: The largest group, estimated at 19,000,000, persons, covers all em- ployed by others ranging from lab- orers to executives. The second group covers persons who work for 'themselves and the third group cov- ers the unemployed. Employer and employee both make contributions in the first group and for individuals weekly payments will usually range between three and six shillings with women paying about one shilling less than men in most categories. Although criticized in details, the legislation, approved while the La- bor Government was in office, had the support of all politiaal parties for its genera] social security ideals. Birth-Rate Up In New Zealand WELLINGTON, N. Z. --(CP)-- New Zealand's birth-rate, which after many years of decline has been rising steadily since 1936, is still incr and last year reached the highest level since 1912. The European rate now stands at 26.43 per 1,000. However, although the Maoris, once considered a dying race, are now increasing more ra- pidly than the European population it will be a long time before they approach equality. The Euaropean population now stands at 1,606,174 end the Maoris at 108,042. Actual births in New Zealand last year, at 44,828 Europeans and 4,938 Maoris, established a record for the third year in sucession.

PRES Rive on Yruggiat "Ten Best" Again Chess This Time HOLLYWOOD.-- (CP)--The ten- best" lists are almost as common as swimming pools in Hollywood. The movie colony has had "ten bests" in sweater girls, dressed men and women, and gin-rummy players. Now comes Fritz Feld with the "ten best" Hollywood chess players. Feld, whe mas appeared in 175 films, was a tournament chess play- er in Germany before he came to Hollywood in 1923. He has played chess with nearly every top-grade enthusiast in Hollywood and this is how he rates them: 1. The late John Barrymore; 2. Humphrey Bogart; 3. Charles Boyer; 4, Joseph Schildkraut; 5. Charles Coburn; 6. Doug:as Fairbanks, Jr.; 7. Sonja Henie; 8. Elsa. Lanchester; 9. The late Laird Gregar; 10. Betty Field. Feld doesn't list him, but Peter Lorre also is a chess expert of note. Winston Churchill Meticulous Editor BS ---- LONDON.-- (CP) --Few writers overhaul their work as thoroughly as Winston Churchill, friends say. Before he passes his war memoirs for publications they are drafted four times and for some passages even five times. His first draft is set up in type. Then, with the proofs in his hand, he dictates transpositions, additions and corrections to half a dozen sec- Wretaries working in relays. From these the proofs are corrected and Churchill begins work on new proofs. The process goes on through pro- visional, semi-final almost-final and final drafts. Sometimes he adds last words on anoiner draft which he calls "overtake," THERE OUGHT TO BE A LAW % - hn Bate tole BRT By Al Fagaly and Harry Shorten ILLINOIS.

Harvey, of Miami, Fla, who have given their children away via ~doption because Harvey says he can't raise them on his small income, and Mrs. Harvey is seriously ill. The children have been adopted by families in Florida and announcer.

Although he made no mention of it in his farewell address to the Commons, he has told. friends he believes the Canadian Prime Min- ister should receive $50,000 a year to meet the financial and social burdens of his position, He has al- so told John Bracken, Progressive Conservative leader, and M. J. Coldwell, C.C.F. chief, he hopes they will insist on that income if they come to poyer. Mr. King, in s#ary, sessional in- demnity and expense allowances, now receives $23,000. He told the Commons he thought Parliament should provide an of- ficial residence for his successors. If this were done it is presumed he would scale down his estimate of salary requirements. Three vacancies in the Canadian section of the International Joint Commission will be filled soon. The Commission, a Canadian- American. body which deals with boundary and waterway problems between the two countries, is al- most without Canadian personnel, although it has important work on hand. At full strength the commission consists of Canadian and American chairmen and two commissioners from each country. There has been no permanent Canadan chairman since the death of Hon. Charles Stewart in 1946. The acting Ca- nadian chairman, Joseph Perrault, died last month, leaving Hon. George Spence the only Canadian representative on the commission. The commissioners are paid $7,- 500 a year. The post of secretary is also vac- ant. It was held by Lawrence Bur- pee, a well-known Ottawa author, until his death in 1946, Miss E. M. Sutherland is acting secretary. The American representation is also one short, a vacancy that has existed for several years. Governor Dewey of New York and Premier Drew of Ontario an- nounced in May that they planned a joint application to the commis- sion for approval of plans for a $300,000,000 hydro development on the St. Lawrence intended to pro- duce 2,200,000 horse power. So far the application has not been made, Recover 3 Bodies In Plane Wreck Chapleau, July 5--(CP) -- The charred bodies of three persons killed in a plane crash near here Friday have been removed from the wreck of the aircraft. The rough terrain in which the plane crashed delayed recovery of the bodies. Dead are: Lillian Mc- Corkill, 20, of Chapleau, who had won a beauty contest prize shortly before the crash; Mrs. Lyla Cham- bers, 20, also of Chapleau, a bride of 10 months, and John Oltean, Welland, an R.CAAF. veteran, a well-known Niagara Falls district athlete and pilot of the plane. Ontario Provincial Police said today there will be no attempt to salvage the plane. "There isn't anything to salvage." The aircraft plunged nine feet into the muskeg and caught fire. An investigation of the Department of Transport. Ottawa. is trying to determine cause of the crash. No Dollar-a-Day Boost Is Given Coal Miners New York, July 5--(AP)--A dol- lar-a-day wage boost and doubling of employers' contributions to the United Mine Workers health and welfare fund are provided in a new agreement with hard coal operators employing 80,000 men. The agreement was ratified by the union's scale committee Sunday after it had been initialled by union and employer negotiators Saturday night. The new royalty for the UM W. Welfare Fund is 20 cents a ton Union spokesmen = said present wage scales for the men average $11.10 for a seven-hour day for those classified as company miners and $10.53 for company laborers. Miners operating on a piece-work basis get an average of $13 a day. The agreement continued a 10- day vacation provide din the old contract, and provided payment of $100 in' vacation wages. It also provides for signing of cues-check-off cards by individual miners in conformity with the Taft- Hartly labor law. The men already have signed the cards, the union said. Istanbul Police Get Patrol Cars Istanbul--(AP)--Istanbul's' police force is going to be modernized. Patrol cars, with two-way radio, are coming, Men in spic-and-span uniforms who now patrol in pairs, usually accompanied by gendarmes, will man them. There will be mo- torcycle officers, too. Increasing crime is partly re- sponsible. Probably even more re- sponsible is the impact of western methods in the minds of authori- ties who gradually are shaking off eastern custom and tradition, Crime in Instanbul usually springs from the thousands of young toughs who got their start along the waterfronts. A newspap- er estimated recently there are up- ward of 10,000 children who live by their wits, eking out a hazardous existence carrying luggage for fer- ry passengers, thieving and plun- date has been set for the inquest. (Editor's note: In the follow- ing article a Canadian Press staff writer describes the ef- forts to get German industry back on its feet in the midst of political crises). By NORMAN CRIBBENS Canadian Prcss Start Writer Berlin, July 5.--(CP) -- Political crises shake all Germany, but ec- onomic advisers to the Western Allied governments say they are optimistic of a substantial increase in industrial output this year. "The outlook now is a good deal more promising than a year ago," said one official of the Economics Division of British Military Gov- ernment. Improvements in basic industries, he said, have prepared the way for further industrial gains, and ris- ing exports are providing the means to pay for greatly increased im- ports of raw materials, Imports into the bi-zonal area during 1947 were £162,500,000 ($650,- 000,000). Exports were £56,250,000, with Britain "by far the best cus- tomer." From November, 1945, to the end of 1947 the number of employees in all Berlin industries rose from 29,298 to 65,987. The number em- ployed in 'electrical engineering alone increased from 15,550 to 27,- 400. German Industry Expected To Show Large Increase In spite of increased production, tering on the blacq market. there is still a manpower shortage in Berlin, and considerable ab- senteelsm because workers can supplement their earnings by bar- tering on the black market, "If currency reform successfully curtails the black market--which is a matter of opinion -- industry in Berlin wil improve to an ap- preciable extent," said the manager of an electrical firm, Intensive propaganda is being us- ed to convince workers that the sooner they curtail black-market bartering, the sooner there will be enough consumer goods in the stores. By way of example, an American Government official told of a Ber- lin businessman who received a consignment of canned sardines as payment for services rendered, Op- ening one of the cans he tasted the sardir:s, found them unpalat- able and returned the consignment with a complaint. Back came the reply: "You made a mistake. Those are not eating sardines, they are trading sardines." Production of enameled plumbing fixtures has doubled in Canada since 1937.
