The rising figures, from $41,812 to $50,900, is a result of city council's boost to the assis- tance scale, says H. G. Chese- brough, director of social services. The scale for welfare assis- tance was raised 15 per. cent for each family and 20 per cent for the single person. The measure became effective Oct. 1 'and was made to meet the rising cost of living, said Mr. Chesebrough. Although employment condi- tions in the "Motor. City". are at a jow for the year because farm work and _ construction jobs are almost nil -- there are still a few jobs in factories for those who want them and can take them. é i But not all persons receiving welfare benefits want or are able to take the available jobs.| Mr. Chesebrough says most persons drawing welfare are unskilled and although they are "urged to take the retrain- ing program, we can't make them," he says. "There is not much you can do when a man refuses to go back to school," said Mr. Chesebrough. "With some, it wouldn't do any good to go back because of their attitude. They have to want to improve their condition." Mr. Chesebrough says there are many welfare recipients who cannot take jobs because of poor health, and there are separated women who must stay at home to care for their children. But there are others who re- fuse to take retraining and others who have language bar- riers or alcoholism problems, said Mr. Chesebrough. "There are more unemploy- able people than employable people on welfare," he said.

With only three weeks before Christ- mas Day, Santa looks at some shirts at a store at the Oshawa Shopping Cen- tre for the men on_ his Christmas gift list. It won't be long before the "'jolly old soul". with red cheeks and nose, comes tumbling' down your chimney. Al- 'though it's cold outside and just barely white, the Yule- tide season is very much with Oshawa __ residents. Decorations, trees, cards and wreaths are becoming prevalent sights in the area and it's hustle and bustle everywhere. --Oshawa Times Photo 'Williams Elected Pickering Reeve She Simes OSHAWA, ONTARIO, MONDAY, DECEMBER 4 Chatten Deputy-Reeve:; 39 Per Cent Visit Polls \ Oshawa Times Photo A Sunday surprise awaited Mrs, Dorothy Lawrence of 231 Linden Ct. when she opened her front door early yesterday morning. An adult racoon was lying, fast asleep, huddled up close to the brick work. "It wouldn't move," said Mrs. Lawrence. "I took a cautious poke at him but he just growled and scared me, so I left him alone." After that, her husband came out and took a_ look, and her nine-year-old daugh- ter, Janet, and finally a whole crowd of neighbors and children, but the raccoon SUNDAY MORNING VISITOR CONTENT JUST TO SLEEP SCUGOG (Staff) -- Terrence William Smith, 26, 305 Admiral Rd., Oshawa, was killed Sun- day when a ski-doo he was riding was in collision with a car on the sixth concession, Scugog Island, A passenger on the ski-doo, Andrew Bastedo, 21, 33 Duke St., Brooklin, was injured and is reported in "fair" condition in the intensive care unit of the Oshawa General Hospital. A spokesman for the Whitby detachment of the Ontario Pro- vincial Police said the ski-doo came over a hill just before the 16, RR 2, Bloomington, Ont., saw the ski-doo and stopped the car before the collision, Miss ignored them all and slum- bered on. "We didn't like to disturb it much," added Mrs.° Law- rence, '"'in case it started to bite, because it might have had rabies." Finally, the police were called and even they could not budge the animal. They finally carted him off to the animal shelter. "It was quite warm up against the brickwork," add- ed Mrs. Lawrence, 'and gmaybe he had started to hibernate or possibly it was injured but it created quite a bit of excitement on Sunday morning." After one visit to Israel last month, Gill Everstein, 110 Alma St., says when he goes back he may. never return to Oshawa. The 21-year-old shoe sales- man says he is willing to trade "the high standard of living" in Canada for a life in Israel. Mr. Everstein fell in love with the people, he said, the climate and places like Tel Aviv, 'the newest and most modern city of Israel," King David's tomb, the Western Wall and the little fishing town of Jaffa. The Western Wall, (all that remains of an ancient and sa- cred synagogue), is the most venerated place in Israel, he says. Up until the Six-Day War last June, King David's tomb drew the greatest numbers of people. Mr. amazed at 20-year-old "Deserts into cities Everstein said he was the progress of the country have been turned with tall gleaming buildings," he said. "'To be so young and sv completely up to date is amazing." When he goes to Israel, Mr Everstein hopes to work on a "kibbutz" or an agricultural farm. These places grow figs, olives, apples and oranges. "There isn't a variety of job opportunities there as in Can- ada but when you talk to Police Offer Safety Tips Oshawa police have the fol- lowing safety tips to offer pedestrians during traffic safe- ty week: At pedestrian crosswalks, be sure to look both ways and point. Don't just step out into the street. Also, be sure the nearest car is far enough away that the driver will have time to stop. Don't jaywalk. This means don't attempt to dodge through traffic against the light. Always walk facing traffic, not with it, when there are no sidewalks. If you cannot see what is going on on the high- way, you are at the mercy of drivers. Don't dash into the street from a parked car or the curb without looking both ways, par- ticularly in the middle of the block. Following these pointers, police say, can save your life. TWO KILLED BEWDLEY -- Mrs. Giovanni Tullie, 37, and Joseph William Guy, 34, both of Port Hope, were killed in a two-car smash near here on Sunday. Bewdley is 20 miles south of Peterbor- ough on No. 28 Highway. Oshawa Man Impressed On First Trip To Israel strangers they are friendly and helpful," he said, Rain is,.prevalent during the winter season in Israel, and houses and apartment build- ings are built on stilts to avoid the effects of "overwhelming" summer heat. than by rail in Israel which he Says stems back to days when the railway company was own- ed by Britain. "People wanted to support what belonged to them so they used the buses. I suppose it's a habit now." In Eliat, a summer resort at the mouth of Aquaba, Mr. Everstein took a cruise in a glass-bottomed boat. "They do it as a tourist attraction. It acts like a mirror to the bottom of the sea." The people of Tse Fad, an- other resort, adhere strictly to the Hebrew custom of wearing a skull cap, he says. "The cus- tom is far more prominent there than anywhere else," Mr. Everstein says. The tombs of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and their wives are situated in Hebron, which is just a short distance from Jeru- salem. At Ashdad, the industrial and residential areas are uniquely separated, he said. The Persian Temples along the B-hai Temple in Haifa are one of the beauties of Israel, says Mr. Everstein, and the modern Kennedy Memorial in Jerusalem is a handsome con- trast to the old architecture of the city, he says. King Soloman's Mines, Mount Hertzel and countless other in- teresting novelties of Israel is what is drawing Mr. Everstein to that country.
