HARDLY A FAIR DEAL A little late perhaps, but the Ont- ario Government seems inclined to oppose the imposition of tolls on the Welland Canal shipping. Certainly the province will not benefit in the traditionally toll-free waterway is lumped in With the new St. Lawrence river canals and made subject to Sea- way tolls. The new Scaway, by lowering trans- portation costs from overseas, presum- ably will benefit some foreign produc- ers. The cheaper freight, added to their lower wage rates, will be con- siderable advantage in the Canadian market to such producers. To make Ontario industries employ- ing Great Lakes shipping pay Welland Canal tolls would be to tax them for the creation of facilities that benefit their foreign competitors. From the point of view of Ontario workers it hardly seems a fair deal. 4 " Open Bowling FRIDAY--7 to 9 p.m. SATURDAY~-- 7 to 11 p.m, Family Doubles, Friday--9 to 11 Everyone Welcome Lanes FR SPA MEDI =H Ws IR BAN PASSE 2A RA a RE The Port Perry Chamber of Com- --Canadian Statesman. | Causeway Bowling : WAL Minor Hockey ' News Leafs 1 -- Canadians 0 This was a sudden death game af- ter these two teams tied on Saturday morning last.

LINDSAY ENGINEERS WARNS RESIDENTS OF SPRING FLOODS Due to the abnormal snowfall this year and the peculiar ice formation, there is every probability of a severe spring flood in Lindsay. . Every effort has been made to keep the streets in good operating condition but in spite of the large. amount of money already spent, a quick thaw could create a serious situation. It is suggested therefore that all those living in the lower levels of the town should take all possible precautions to sce that all moveable objects in cellars and basements" are moved to higher and séfer places. Every effort will be made to cope with the situation but the severe win- ter frosts in addition to causing con- siderable road damage, have algo in- terferred with our drainage facilities, It is very likely that conditions will be a good deal worse beforé they are better and the co-operation of the pub. lic is therefore gratefully anticipated. with just-16 seconds left in the first "On" 'Wedhesday, night March 11th the same Leafs tied Boston All-Stars in the first 'of the oe Sia a #0 By PROFESSIONAL ADVICE Radio and television actress Vita Linder, gets tips on keeping fit from Toronto physical-training expert Lloyd Percival.

' . Two things have happened, though to give me an injection of goodwill anfl pep. I got into word battle with another man, in which we smote each other hip and thigh-- and then, through corresp- ondence, we became good friends, each with considerable respect for the other. Ah, that all such battles could end so agreeably for the combantants! Second, I found I had to make a trip, and my work was already behind. must.

Funny what you can do when youl time to notice how miserable the win- ter. is lately! : I suppose that when. the trip is over but I propose to trick myself by set- ting a deadline and making myself some promises. Perhaps we all need deadlines of one sort or another; even if we must impose them on ourselves. Work is a terrible thing, until you get at it'and do it--and then, surprisingly enough, it can be more fun than loaf- ing. 2 If you've been turned down in the dumps or functioning like a carbonn- ed-up motor try setting a deadline and see what it does for you! Soon you'll be into your work with real vigor and getting a tremendous bang out of it. At least, that's the way it has been with me this week. Maybe I ought to hire someone to follow me around and kick me in the shins when I loaf! I hope you are too busy to apply for the job! re ---- A Check on Unscrupulousness At this time of year, it is not un- usual to hear remarks passed about persons who would rather draw their unemployment insurance benefits than work. The implication is no' particular difficulty about doing so. The fact is, however, that every per- son who is in receipt of benefits must declare, every time he receives money from the Unemployment Insurance Commission, that he is able, ready, and willing to work. Moreover, any- one refusing an offer of suitable em- ployment is likely to be disqualified from receipt of benefit. In order, however, to test the gin- cerity (or insincertiy) of a person's declaration that he is able, ready and willing to accept work, the UIC must have a suitable job open to which that I'll come back to another work load, | 1 area in which employers might well work more closely with the Commis- sion. The Commission's National Employ- ment Service is designed specifically to find the right worker for the em- ployer's job and the right job for the unemployed worker, Matching the worker to the job is a highly skilled occupation and the NES has the staff tobe of great assistance to employers in this regard. to workers and employers, the Com- misson would be placed in a much bet- ter position to check on the availability for employment of claimants; Canada's unemployment insurance plan was created to help 'the unemployed through periods of genuine unemploy- ment, We are all losers when those who are unscrupulous abuse the plan, "Prospect The W.A. met at the home of Mrs. Frank Vernon on Thursay evening, March 12. -Acting as group convener, Helen conducted the opening exercises.
