"ALBACORES" OVER THE American-made ""Albacores" on FIRST Mass HARRIS TANKS FOR U.S. ARMY Three Months "Ahead of Schedule. "One of the best achievements in- dustry can point to in the United States," said General Donald strong, deputy chief of the Chicago Ordnance District, in referring to the attainment of tank production appro- ximately three months ahead of schedule by the United States organ- About ization of the Massey-Harris Com- . pany. In this manner, within the brief space of .five months, the management and workers of the United States Di- vision of 'this well-known Canadian Company have fulfilled the promise made fo General Armstrong in Feb- ruary this year when the contract was received, by Mr. J. S. Duncan, presi- dent and general manager of the com- ~pany, "that the success we have made so far in armament production was due to the spirit in which the men of Massey-Harris had tackled the various projects and that same spirit would be back of the tank undertaking, and be- cause of it he could assure him success." At a mass meeting outside the tank plant last Friday, workmen and ex- ecutives of Massey-Harris cheered the announcement by General Armstrong that tanks which had not been expect- ed before mid-September were already undergoing operating tests and that the present rate of production would make possible the delivery of tanks to the fighting forces three months earlier than originally anticipated. _ General Armstrong told the work- men_ that they were making these 'tanks to be used by their sons, their friends, their neighbours in the fight- ing forces. "Keep the fighting men in mind as you build these tanks", he said, "and keep in mind mothers and fathers like Mrs, Petersen, and your fellow Massecy- -Harris workman, Chrig. Petersen) 'who 'have three sons in the fighting forces and who pray that their boys will have the arms and equipment that will give them the power for victory." Mr. W. K. Hyslop, vice-president of Massey-Harris Company, expressed the thanks of the company to the workmen for making the celebration possible. "It has been a big job", he said. "It is still a big job, but if you all continue to perform in the future as you have up to this point the ulti- mate completion of this contract will be even farther ahead of schedule than we-are today." i too ASHBURN The Woman's Missionary Society of Burn's Church held its regular month- ly meeting in the basement on Tues- day afternoon, July 14th.

GRAND TOTAL $764.16 BE hd om UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE COMMISSION Although Unemployment Insurance has now been operating in Canada for a year, many insuted workers do not vet appreciate fully the importance of their insurance books, said Mr, Ed- nunds, Manager of the Oshawa Em- ployment and Claims Office of the Un- employment Insurance Commission. If workers could get the idea that their insurance books are really in the nature of a bank account upon which they draw in periods of unemploy- ment, they would be much more likely to see that the books are properly stamped and taken care of. Nobody with a bank account, said Mr. Edmunds is careless of his pass book. He realizes that he is respons- ible for taking care of it and that it is his record of money deposited to his credit and available for him to draw. But the insurance book is even more important. In the case of a bank pass book, the record is always available at the 'bank and a lost book can be pre- pared with comparative ease and com- plete accuracy. But the*insurance- book _ is stamped "with stamps for which the employer and employee have jointly paid, and is the only re- cord in existence of contributions which have been made. Accurate re- cords on which to prepare a new hook may not be available, and a book once' lost may mean the loss of a large.sum in benefits. ~~ Only if the worker is careful of the hook and sees that it is accurately and promptly stamped and kept up-to-date, can he be sute that the records are as they should be and that, when unemployment comes, he can draw the benefits to which he is entitled. At the opening of the fiscal year employees under the unemployment Insurance Act were re- registered and new books were issued to them. In them will be recorded 'one year's con- - tributions to the Unemployment In- surance Fund, While a worker is em- ployed, the employer is responsible for the recording of contributions by stamping the book correctly. -- his book at intérvala 3f not more than twice a month to see that the proper stamps are being affixed, . "If a worker has a new position to go to, he must turn his book over to his new employer {at once, and stamp. entries will 'be continued in the same Bom where the former employer left off, When the employee has no new Job to report to he takes his book to, the Employment and Claims Office, re- gisters as unemployed, and deposits his book in the office. He will be given a receipt for his book and this he must -| keep as long as the book remains in the Employment and Claims Office. When he obtains work his book will be returned to him so that he can pre- gent it to his new employer. .
