It is impossible to keep them from self- destructing. The yellowing and 'brittleness which soon develop are signs of this, and are due to the wood cellulose composition of the paper, and unfortunately there is no method of putting them into a safe state for conservation. Their contents can be micro- filmed for posterity however and tbey will survive that way . Ironically, it is easier to preserve a newspaper that may be almost 100 years oid, .imply because it would be maE of more stable paper. Weil - so what? Who cares? Anyone who keeps a scrap- book of newspaper clippings might - and they are probabiy wondering what can be done, s0 we're passing this along from the Ontario Archives as related to us at an Ontario Museums Association seminar: if that lipping or page of clippings is Xeroxed on a good quaiity archivai paper, it should last approxi- mately 200 years if flot more. Apparently the photocopier used has to be a Xerox; what the difference would be with any other, we don't know, and how they judge the time period must be a scientific caiculation, because photo- copiers haven't been around for 200 years yet, but in any case, the photocopied news will have a better chance of lasting than the original.

Notes on Newcastle - 4 By William Humber Artists seeking illumination once had a choice between finding a loft in Paris, retreating to a deserted isiand, or cutting off an ear. Today it is more likely that they have discovered jogging. Joggers dlaim that their sport guarantees artistic inïsight and spiritual eniightenment. Cynics would problably add boredom and sore feet to this list. For Alfred Shrubb the truth was probably a combination of many factors. Shrubb is known to people in these parts as the operator of the Cream of Barley Miii in the forties and fifties. At nearly 80 years of age he ancbored a relay team commemoratîng Bowmanville's looth anniversary in 1958. Unknown to many rople he was one of the worl's greatest athietes in bis youth. Alfred Shrubb has been cailed the first modern distance runner. Born in 1878 in Sussex, England he once held the worid records for al standard events between two miles and the one bour run. His training technique eamned bim the modern appellation. Shrubb concentrated on endurance and distance rather than speed. Allowing ten rest days be stiil managed to run 178 miles in the montb period preceding a bistoric run on Guy Fawkes Day, 1904 in Glasgow. on that day he established a one hour record by covering il miles and 1,137 yards. En route he set world records for 6 miles, 10,000 metres, and 10 miles. iVisual lArt Centre Even today Sbrubb's figures seem staggering. No doubt' contemporary runners fortified by Gatorade, the latest equipment, and the pursuit of some solitary vision, must wonder wbat sustained tbis man. It is recorded however tbat bis only support was, a sponge be carried to damp bis face. Duming tbe fimst decade of this century bis competitors included tbe Canadian Indian Tom Longboat, the 1908 Gold Medal winner ini the marathon John Hayes, and in one ten mile challenge a combined relay team of men and women wbich he outraced. This extraomdinamy athiete man for many years as a professional in Australia, New Zealand, and tbe United States, finally coacbing at Harvard and Oxford afterïtbe first war.' Travelling between Canada and tbe United States be became acquainted with George James editor of The Canadian Statesman. James introduced bim to Jimmy Morden wbo had stamted a 45 acre tourist camp in Bowmanville. In 1934, Sbrubb and Morden went into partnersbip and introduced an airstrip, tennis courts, quarter mile track and archery range into the camp. Alfred Sbrubb's daughter Mms. Norab Aluin remembers that the family lived in a bouse on the old McKay Estate wbich was part of the Cream ofBarley Miii property. Hem fatber took over operation of tbe mill in the early forties.

It was a different site from the potters' wbeels and pbotography studio which now occupy this space. Art bas replaced cream of barley as the mill's chief product and Alfred Sbrubb's records are now a part of bistory. But spare a thought for a man pursuing a special dream 75 years ago in the midst of a late faîl Glasgow afternoon. His legacy is as much alive today for artists and runners alike as it was that day. ploe ta unemp1> nnt Inisurmie.

In December 1978, Parliament changed the Unemployment Insurance program. Changes starting July 1 mean that some people will have to work longer before they can qualify for Unernployment Insurance benefits. Please remember, these UI changes affect only those dlaims which start on or after July 1, 1979. And, the changes may or may not apply to you. So please read on to see if you are affected. (You'll find terms such as "Weeks of Work', "Qualifying Period", "Variable Entrance Requirement" (VER), and "Unemployment Rate" marked by an asterisk (*). For easier understanding, see the box "Explaining UI terms" at the end of this message.) Here are the details of those changes. Have you worked 20 weeks or more i your Qua1ifyhig Period*? If so, this message does not apply to you. For you, the number of weeks you need to qualify for regular UI benefits and for UI ill- ness and maternity benefits, or the one-time benefit at age 65 has not changed. Are you workig for the first time? To get UI benefits, you will usually need 20 Weeks' Work*, no matter where you live. 11An exception to this would be if you were on a training course approved by the Canada Employment and Immigration Commission for at least 14 weeks in the year before your Qualifying Period*. Then you would only need 10 to 14 weeks, depending on the Variable Entrance Requirement* where yc'u live. Are you starting to work again? If you' re coming back to work after being away a year or more,you'll usually need 20 Weeks of Work* in your Qualifying Period* before you can qualify for UI benefits. This applies wherever you live. This 20-week rule won't apply, however, if you were in any of the following situations for a total of at least 14 weeks in the year before your Qua1ifying Period*. These are the situations that count: 1. You were getting temporary worker's disability compensation from a provincial program; 2. You were receiving sick or maternity leave payments; 3. You were out of work because of a labour dispute at-your place of work; 4. You were on a Commission- approved training course; 5. You were on UI claim; 6. You were working in insurable employnýent. So, for first-time workers and those coming back to work: A. If you were in any of these six situations for a total of at least 14 weeIks in the year before your Qualifying Period*, then you need only 10 to,14 Weeks' Work* in the Qualifying Period*, depending on the VER* where you live. B. If none of the six situations fit your case,you will have to have worked at least 20 weeks to qualify for UI benefits. NOTE: If you are returning to work after being away more than one year, the 20-week rule will normally apply to you. Did you get UI benefits i the last year? If you got UI benefits in your Qualifying Period*,' there are new rules that may apply to you - unless the Unemployment Rate* in your area is over 11.5 per cent. 1. If a dlaim you had in the last year has not run Out, you may be able to renew it. 2, If yours is classed a s a new dlaim, you will need the usual 10 to 14 Weeks' Work* depending on your local VER*, plus up to six "extra"~ Weeks of Work*. The number of "extra" weeks you'll need depends on how many weeks you got on your previous UI dlaim. You need one "extra" week ( up to a maximum of six) for every week you got over the VER* needed in your area. Here's an example: You need 12 Weeks' Work* in your region (your local VER*) to qualif~y for benefits the first time. On your last dlaim, you drew 15 weeks' benefits before going back to work. Now, you would need the usual 12 weeks, plus three "extra"~ work weeks. (That's the difference between the 12 weeks you need- ed to work and the 15 weeks of benefits you drew. In total you would need 15 Weeks' Work* to qualify again within one year. The most anyone needs anywhere is 20 weeks of work to qualifýT Again, please remember, when the UnemploymentRate* ini your area is over 11.5 per cent, this rule won't apply to you. You'll need onlyl10 Weeks' Work* to qualify for regular UI benefits. Other changes have been în effeet since January 1979: " The weekly benefit rate was reduced to 60 per cent of your average insurable earnings (from 662/3 per cent). " Most people employed for less than 20 hours a week are no longer covered by UI. " Higher-income claimants may have to repay part of UI benefits drawn in the 1979 tax year. This will only affect people whose income, including UI benefits, is over $20,670. This will be explained when you get your 1979 tax return. These things haven't changed& Just as a review, these points haven't changed: " You may still get UI illness and maternity benefits and the special benefit paid at age 65 if you've worked 20 weeks in your Qualifying Period*. " There's stîll a two-week waiting period before UI benefits start. " To get regular benefits, you must still be available for and looking for work each day you are on dlaim. *You must report any work and earnings while on dlaim. > *You can be disqualified from getting benefits for up to six weeks if you quit your job voluntarily, you were fired for mis- conduct, or if you turned down'a suitable job offer. *You can stili appeal a decision by UI to deny you benefits. Explaining UI terms: *Weeks of Work This means weeks of work that are insurable for Unemployment Insurance. Most employment of 20 hours or more a week is insurable. *Qualifyjng Period What UI calls your Qualifying Period is the 52 weeks before we start your dlaimn. Or if you had a dlaim in the last year, it's the time since that dlaim started. *Variable Entrance Requfrement (VER) To qualify for Unemployment Insurance benefits, you must have worked from 10 to 14 weeks in insurable employment during your Qualifying Period*. The exact number of weeks depends on the Unemiployment Rate* in the economic region where you live. (See below.) If you don't have enough weeks to qualify when you file your dlaim, we keep your applica- tion in the computer file. If the Unemployment, Rate* changes so you then have the weeks you' need, we will send you a notice. *Unemployment Rate For Unemployment Insurance, the Unemployment Rateused for each of the 48 economic regions of Canada is flot the current monthly Statistics Canada unemployment rate in each region. It is a three-month average of seasonally-adjusted monthly unemployment rates. Canada's Unemployment Insuranee Program Working with peol who want towork.
