Can one draw insurance bene- fits as well as old age pension paid to persons of 70? A. Yes. The fact that a person may be drawing a pension of any kind has nd bearing on his entitlement to unemployfnent insurance benefit. He must be ready, able and willing to work, however. Q. Will you please explain to me the difference between ordinary bene- fits and seasonal benefits? A. Ordinary benefit hd payable to the person who meets 'the full con. tribution requirdments for qualifica- tion and is payable at any time of the year, Seasonal benefit, on the other hand, is payable, during the period from December 1 to mid-May only, to those persons who are unable to meet the contribution qualifying require- ments for ordinary benefit but who have at least 15 contribution weeks since the end of the previous March or have had an ordinary claim end since the preceding May 15. Q. I am an insured worker who pays contributions regularly. I know that if I lose my job I can draw bene- fits. What I want to know is how]|" the rates of benefit are determined. Can you tell me? A. The rate of benefit is based on the average of the last 80 weekly contributions immediately prior to the claim. Thus, if your earnings for each of those 80 weeks was from $27.00 to $32.99, your average weekly contribution would be 86¢. and the weekly rate of benefit $13.00 if you were single, or $18.00 if you-had a dependent within the meaning of the Act, Or, if you earned from $51.00 to $66.99 in each of the 30 weeks, the weekly benefit rate would be $21.00 (single) or $28.00 (with dependent). - Q.

Q. Is a married woman entitled to | unemployment benefit if she quits her work? "A. Payment of benefit to a mar- ried woman who uits her job would depend on the reason for her quitting.

They felt proud that it was Ascension Day, and that they were celebrating the ninety - ninth birthday of their church, but they were grieved at the abscence of their Rector and Mrs. Fuller who were ob- liged to travel hurriedly to Montreal THE PORT PERRY STAR, THURSDAY, MAY 28nd, 19585 ent meal, and declared that the suc- cess of the evening was undoubtedly due to the "bakers". We are not sure whether he was referring to the cooks or to the Rev. Mr. A. C, Baker and Mrs. Baker of Uxbridge, who charmingly and capably filled the breach made: by the absense of the Rector and his wife. The people's warden, Mr, Art Brun- ton, announced that due to the effort and sacrifice of the parishioners, he had that day sent off a cheque in final payment of the church organ. The news was thankfully received and the mortgage note burned in a little ceremony, After the supper, a more solemn note was sounded by the celebration of Holy Communion, the Rev. Mr. ' Baker officiating.) In his address, he reminded the congregation that their church had a wonderful name, recall- ing as it did the culmination of Qur Lord's life and ministry on earth, He bility it laid on every parishioner.
