S. Mac- - Naughton has announced. It will provide information for a study of present and fu- ture means of travel, including possible implementation of an experimental railway commuter service between Burlington and Ajax. In' announcing tke project, the Minister said it was the largest and most comprehensive transportation survey ever un- dertaken in Canada, He said it would involve many thousands of interviews before its completion late this year. The region under study extends from Hamilton eastward to Bowmanville, a distance of approximately 70 miles, and 50 miles northward to Batrie. It contains over 70 municipalities and more than 2,000,000 people, making it the heaviest populat. ed section of the province. Interviews with householders are now being. carried out to : gather the information required. The survey is being carried out under the direction of the Metropolitan Toronto and Region Transportation Study, an or- ganization established over a year ago by the government to investigate and report on an overall {transportation policy: for the region. The rail commuter survey is a further step in an earlier study of the potential use of 15 railway lines radiating in all directions from the downtown area. An earlier study had shown that use could be wade of 280 miles of these lines for public transportation, and that about 80 miles could be adapted for frequent rail commuter and rapid transit use. The new survey should provide information Fnedesiary to determine not only the physical feasibility but also, most im- portantly, the economic feasibility of introducing such a service to this highly populated region."

ONTARIO: RIDING 'Last week the Minister of National Defence introduced Bill C-90, which is an act to amend the National Defence Act. The purpose of this Bill is to implement one of the major re- commendations included in the White Paper on defence. This Bill provides for the re- placement of the present posi- tions of Chairman of the Chiefs of Staff Committee, Chief of the Naval Staff, Chief of the General Staff, and Chief of the Air Staff, by a single new posi- tion designated as Chief of the Defence Staff. This change is the first in the integration of the armed forces under a single defence staff. It means integration of the armed forces into a single unit. The reason for this move, giv- en by the Minister, is that it would provide a more stream- lined and effective system and would reduce manpower. Some 10,000 serving presently, would be retired. This, *he stated, would save the country $100 million a year. Upon being questioned on this saving, he admitted that the $100 million would be used to buy additional military equipment. There is, in fact, no saving as far as the taxpayer is concerned. Ten thousand more people will be injected into the labour force of this country, for most of whom jobs will have to be found. Special benefits are being planned for those who will be retired in advance of their nor- mal retirement age. The a- mount of the special cash bene- fit, to be paid in one lump sum, will increase with length of ser- vice up to a maximum of the equivalent of 10 months' pay for those with 16% or more years of service. It will be reduced progressively as normal retire- ment age is approached. The program for the Retrain- ing of Unemployed, which was activated in 1961, shows a sa- tisfactory progress, although a great deal more is necessary. In the year 1962, 27,895 persons were enrolled under Program 5. Of these, 13,768 persons com- pleted their training that year, and 7,778 persons were still in training at the end of the year. In 1963, 82,825 persons were- enrolled, Of these, 17,627 com- pleted their training that year and 9,028 'were still in training at the end of the year. This is a program conducted and initiated by the Provincial -| Governments, to which the Fed- erhl Governments contributes 90 percent of the cost. A great deal more initiative is necessary in order to give those who find themselves unemployed and without skills, an opportunity to fit' themselves with know-how, required by our present techno- logical age. About 70 percent of jobs available now require people with trades and skills. Only 30 percent of jobs available are for unskilled workers and this category will decrease from year to year. - That is why young people now attending schools should complete their education in or- der to outfit themselves with the trades and skills so neces- rat shiii® date A A I Gi TTT i bankai ET. sary in this present day in oy lage, Sinise a aie ald Sai ebassits a Ct ome I URS WR REO a TV WM AI pwn SS Ena i dn ot
