Many former mental patients are hired and paid at rates well under Ontario minimum wage Siscales, a case worker charged, Tuesday night. Mrs, Kay Jackson, Ontario County executive director for the Canadian Mental Health As- \sociation, said she also knew of a case in which a steadily em- ployed ex-patient is being de- nied holiday pay. Nobody has complained, she said, because of the fear of dis- missals. She made the allega- tions in an interview following a meeting of the Ontario County Rehabilitation Council. PLAN PETITION Earlier, during the meeting, the problems of destitute wel- fare cases and the dilemma facing penniless former mental patients spurred the council to prepare an assault on Queen's Park, Prime targets in the move are discrepancies in Ontario laws which fail to permit financial assistance to certain destitute citizens, The rehabilitation coun- cil aims to send a deputation to bring these legal eccentricities City Third In Average Salary Scale OTTAWA (Special) -- Four Canadian urban areas had aver- age weekly wages and salaries topping the $100 figure in Octo- ber last year, the Dominion Bur- eau of Statistics has reported in its latest monthly summary of employment and payrolls. Sarnia continues to lead all of Canada with an average wage and salary of $108.31 fol- lowed by Sault Ste. Marie with $107.05, Oshawa with $106.39 and ChictutimiJongulere with $103.- 24. The four areas are depend- ent on five major industries for their relative prosperity, Sarnia is the oil refining and chemical capital of Canada; Oshawa a major automobile city; Sault Ste. Marie is the home of Al- goma Steel and the twin Que- bec cities depend on aluminum and pulp and paper. The Sarnia figure compares with $105.23 a year before; Sault Ste. Marie was $100.45 in October 1962; Oshawa $98.77 and Chicoutimi-Jonquiere $100.7 In Canada as a whole, aver- age weekly wages and salaries were $84.67 up from the $81.63 figure of a year earlier. Two maritime points, Moncton at $63.43 and St. John's at $64.96, were the two lowest among the urban areas reported. j For the most part, the ad-| vance in the Canadian aver- age reflects increases of 74 cents in manufacturing and $1.02 in transportation, storage and communication. Offsetting! inflyences were a decline of 36; 'cents in construction accompan- ied by a reduction in employ- ment in that relatively highly paid industry, and an increase | fin employment in trade where per capita earnings are below the average for Canada.

"I know of 49 people," She said, "who haven't even got enough money for bus tickets." This was one of the problems such cases encountered in trying to rehabilitate and find a job.

ARTS COUNCIL Support of Oshawa City Coun- cil and other organizations for the newly formed Arts Council of Oshawa was mooted at a meeting held Tuesday at the Hotel Genosha. Wallace Young, chairman of the Arts Council, said city coun- cil may be approached for fi- nancial help in the co-ordination of cultural activities by the group. Representatives of var- ious literary, musical and his- torical groups attended the meeting. A discussion of financial sup- port for the newly-formed body prompted an inquiry of possible city assistance from Mrs. C. E. McLaughlin. Mr, Young replied that the civic authorities were a possible source as is the Arts Council of Ontario.
