An announcement on the new Minimum Wage and some improvements of Employment Standards in the area of job security. As of October 1, 1970, the general minimum wage goes up to $1.50/hour, and the construction minimum to $1.75/ hour. Then, on April 1, 1971, the gen- eral minimum jumps to $1.65/hour, and construction to $1.90/hour. If your wage depends on the estab- lished minimum, get the whole story on the rising minimum wages by writ- ing or phoning the Regional office of the Ontario Department of Labour nearest you. At the same time the minimum wage goes up, new regulations come into effect to improve your job security. For example, if you work for one of an associated group of companies and are'assigned to another company in the group for a period of time, you'll get paid for any overtime you work just as if you were still working for the original company. All the other provi- sions of the Act apply the same way. If, for any reason, your company closes down, all wages owed to you (up to $2,000) have preferred claim against the assets of the employer. The same rule covers any vacation pay you may have coming (vacation pay must now be held in trust for you by your employer) . How much vacation are you en- titled to? The law says you must get at least one week's paid vacation after • your first twelve months of employ- ment, and two week's paid vacation after each of the next twelve months. Some new teeth in the law. The Employment Standards Branch has the power to assess any money owing to you, either wages, overtime or vacation pay, and to collect it from your employer on your behalf. Employers must also pay the Department a 10% penalty for with- holding any money from you. For the whole story on what these changes mean to you, write or'phone your nearest Employment Standards Branch.

If you want satisfactory relief from 'Itching Piles'—here's good news. A renowned research laboratory has found a unique healing substance that promptly relieves the burning itch and pain—actually shrinks hemorrhoids. This substance has been shown to produce a most effec- tive rate of healing. Its germ-killing properties also help prevent Infection. In case after case "very striking improvement" was noted, even among cases of long standing. And this improvement was maintained over a period of months! This was accomplished by a new healing substance (Bio-Dyne)— which quickly helps heal injured cells and stimulate growth of new tissue. Now Bio-Dyne is offered in ointment and suppository form called Preparation "H". Ask for it at all drug stores—satisfaction or money refunded.
