They are penalized for working, it seems." She says it makes more sense to revamp the social service system than dramatically- increase the minimum wage, a move that could force many small employers out of business. "You can't make it economically unfeasible for the small business employer," she comments. Progressive Conservative can- didate Sam Cureatz echoes Hamre's concern for the small business employer. "That kind of increase (as suggested by Rae) will have reper- cussions on small business and in many cases wil make or break them," he says. He agrees adjustments must be made to the minimum wage periodically to keep up with the rate of inflation, "to give people a return for their efforts," but that a lump-sum increase in the minimum wage would only cause more problems with unemployment. "A job paying minimum wage is better than no job at all, and I'm just afraid that if the minimum wage was jacked up so dramatically, many smal business employers would go out of business and those working for them would be out of a job altogether," says Cureatz. William Lawler being resumed and interested boys between the ages of 14 -17 inclusive are invited or may contact Bill Lawler at 668- 2518. Dress warmly and bring chairs.
