SENIOR CITIZENS The following letter, reprinted in part, comments on the Feb. 4th column and the plight of senior citizens unable to find work: Dear Mr. Gearin: I wish to thank you for your "Good Evening" col- umns of Dec. 11, 1958, and Feb. 4, 1959, pointing out the plight of the over 45's who have to get into the labor market today. At least some- one is thinking of us. As your illustration said, it is not only the laboring man who is hit -- it is also the skilled, semi - skilled and pro- fessional man. And some of these are hit harder, in pro- portion, than the unskilled. Your usskilled, semi - skill- ed, and skilled workers, in most cases, have unemploy- ment insurance to provide a cushion on their savings. But not the professional man. He's into his savings the first day. Just think. How long would your savings last with no in- come coming in? How long could you keep your bills paid? How long before you'd have to sell some of your prize i for a song today. Clear and cold tonight Thursday mainly sunny.

WILSON in order that your family would eat? How long would your morale keep up? We thought so. There's another angle you did not cover -- the insurance one. For years workers have been happy in the thought that the group life insurance at the plant gave their family a little secur- ity. Then they are out and so is their insurance. Sure, most poli- cles allow 30 days to convert to a regular one, but at what a cost. Do you realize that at the age of 55 it costs $44.53 per thous- and per year for ordinary life insurance; at 60 it costs $56.11. With no income you can't afford much at those rates. Blue Cross or Hospitalization and Physicians' Services must be kept up when one reaches this age; yet, when one needs them most they have to be paid on an individual basis which boosts the cost. In many cases, where the former employer has been paying '|tario Fuel Board requiring the) ipo "ivory tower" types of legisla- tion, impossible to enforce and, like' the fhe defies prohibition laws, will tend to produce another gen- eration of "seoff-laws." Income Tax Act would put these Snfortuliates in a preferred an ployment position, employ- ers eager to hire them, and the 'lcost to the Federal government would be far less than they would have to contribute toward Here's an outline of the ps. ciples: 1, Establish an abitrary age limit (50 for men, women 45). 2. Every employer: ng, after the effective date, a man or woman of that age, or older, will be entitled to expense (for income tax purposes) double the wages or salary paid that person, 3. Rehire of persons on the pay- roll of a company at the effec- tive date, and who were laid off subsequently, would not come within this provision unless the layoff was for a period in ex- cess of six months. The same principle could be applied to other jobless groups. Instead of 100 per cent exira allowance, use some smaller per- centage, say 50 per cent, for in- crease of total employes over a basic period. This, however, could quite licated and would require further research than 1 am able to give. This will work and the morale of older citizens, many of whom have done so much for the de- velopment of Canada, will jump considerably. Relief costs will go down and it could start the up- swing so urgently needed. Sincerely yours, George D. Glassford, 132 Central Park boulevard north, Oshawa, Ont. WELL DONE, PILGRIMS Mr. Harry Chapman must cer- tainly be regarded as one of the first gentlemen of Oshawa's ama- teur theatrical world. Few persons are more dedi- cated to the drama than Mr. C., and it is largely because of his drive and theatrical know-how than the Pilgrim Players are flourishing. The Pilgrims, of course, are currently featuring that Agatha Christie super-thriller, "Witness for the Prosecution" in Shureh halls, with the going to charity, and will present the play at the end of the month in The Pilgrims' production of "Witness" is a distinct triumph, the acting is generally of a high quality and the direction, under Mr. Chapman, is fast-paced. Some service club could do worse than sponsor a presenta- tion: of the Pilgrims in this play as a fund - raising gimmick --it is| fine and exciting entertainment. DAY IN BOWMANVILLE Bandmaster F. J. Francis of| the Ontario Regiment Band has been invited by the Bowmanville High School to spend a day there to lecture and lead the school band at a date to be announced later. Oshawa's Shirley Harmer, who now lives in Holly- wood, will be in Denver, Col., Feb. 19-20 for a TV singing en- gagement, There's a possibility Paramount Pictures will drop its option on Shirley soon. This would leave her free for more public and TV appearances. . . . Mag- istrate Frank Ebbs will leave this week for a Florida vacation.
