One year ago, 2,160 male per- sons and 875 female persons were registered for unemployment in- surance between Jan. 1 and Dec. 15, as against 1,749 males and 853 females this year. Christmas layoffs this year due to the GM strike bumped the fig- ure to 2,845 males and 927 females by Dec. 29, Mr. Hodgson explain- Annual 'temporary help requir- ed by the Oshawa post-office was not enough to balance the differ- ence, with 30 females and 76 males employed during the Christ- mas rush.

Slugger McDugan has just planted beautiful wallop on the unlovely chin of Killer McCann. But don't make a peep or a squeak, because anything like a . cheer would be regarded as rude by the 350 gentlemen in dinner jackets who are wtaching the fight. | It is a boxing match in the plush and palatial headquarters of the National Sporting Club of Great Britain. And one of the gentlemen in a dinner jacket may be so carried away as to murmur "Well done, my lad!" NO ENTHUSIASM But--please--no of enthusiasm. Not here National - Sporting Club fights take place in the Louis XVI suite of the Cafe Royal, a chamber of mirrors and pink draperies which looks like a throne room Every seat is ringside hecause there are, after all, only 350 mem bers and no one else has a ghost of a chance of getting in. When a fight is in progress there are only three sounds to be heard-- the slap of leather against muscled bodies, the snorts of the athletes, who are permitted to make vulgar noises, and the hissing of soda being squirted into whiskys. Beside each of the gentlemen in dinner jackets is a little table, and silent waiters in striped waistcoats gum- shoe about like shadows. CIGARS ONLY The only thing to smoke is a cigar. A cigaret or pipe would be a horrible affront to tradition. There is a little subdued chatter between rounds and bouts, and in these interludes the gentlemen arrange their bets. But a bet is not with another member, it is with a number, Each chair is numbered, and occupied by the appropriate member who is iden- tified only in the are club. And on the ne: member so unfortunate as to lose sends his cheque to the secretary crude displays 'I lost £50 to No. 74 and £125 to No. 235. Please adjust this mat ter Whereupon the club sends its own cheque to the winner. The winner jus waits and the cheque comes with the certainty of doom. For a National Sporting Club mem- ber to forget about a bet which went wrong is just about as likely as being short-changed by the Bank of England. Then there jg Something else that doesn't hdppen at Madison Square Garden. It's "nobbins," and there is uncertainty as to whether it is singular or plural Nobbins are, or is, money tossed into the ring at the end of a bout which the. gentlemen regarded as particularly praiseworthy. There are coins, but also bank notes in £6 denominations. Most members have stacks of such notes. The cash is gathered in by a master of ceremonies and divided equally between the opponents, without regard to the fact that one might be unconscious. The gentlemen wouldn't dream of having favor- ites. A RITUAL The National Sporting Club doesn't go to a prize fight casually, like one might drop in to a movie for an evening. There is a program every two weeks and it is a ritual At 7:15 p.m. the members, with dinner jackets all snug and proper, enter the Pompadour Room of the Cafe Royal in Piccadilly Circus, There are drinks for half an hour and then they move into a candle- lit room for dinner. On the menu are soup of green turtles from the West Indies, smoked salmon, fillet of beef from | = the grill, roast cock pheasant in|, its season and, invariably, potatoes in their jackets, Even the potatoes must be properly dressed. Kidney, grouse and oyster pies are avail- able for trenchermen-members, and if there are strawberries they are crushed in liqueurs. Then at 9 p.m. there is a procession like Louis XVI suite and whiskys and boxing begin. A master of ceremonies .ad- dresses the company as "My lords and gentlemen." Occasionally, but not often, he may find it necessary to admonish members that one doesn't make noise. The silence upsefs some boxers but they get the hang of it soon. All are profes- sionals but the purses are not large. However £100 and more is not unusual. The National Sporting Club and the Cafe Royal, long intimately associated and now under one roof, are about 90 years old. In the early days the club was the arbiter of boxing in Britain, managing the sport much as Wimbledon bosses tennis and St. Andrew's guides golf. The club is still a respected authority and among other blue- bloods on its managing commit- tee today is the 10th Marquess of Queensberry, descendant of the! eigth marquess, who drew up the rules of modern boxing.
