"Is it true
Id now have to work
longer to collect
Unemployment
Insurance?"
Yes.
Parliament has decided that the qualification
time should be longer everywhere, and that
people who live in areas of high unemployment
should be given certain advantages over those
who live in areas where jobs are more plentiful.
Which means that you now need more
insurable work weeks to qualify for
Unemployment Insurance benefits.
"I can see why. But just
how long would I have to work to
be eligible?"
From 10 to 14 weeks, depending on where
you live.
In regions of low unemployment, claimants
need up to 14 weeks of insurable employment to
get UI benefits. This will only happen in places
where it's easier to get and keep a job.
In regions of high unemployment, claimants
now need as little as 10 weeks to qualify.
"Does this mean
I'd get less or that the payments
wouldn't last as long?"
No change in payment amounts. The UI
benefit rate stays at two-thirds of your average
weekly insurable earnings.
The maximum is $147, less tax.
The maximum time for which anyone may
receive benefits has changed slightly, however.
The old maximum was 51 weeks. Now it's 50 weeks.
But since September 11, the total
number of weeks for which a claimant qualifies
has more closely reflected the unemployment rate
in his of her region.
Right now, we measure unemployment by
dividing Canada into 16 economic regions.
Later in 1978, we will fine-tune the program to
54 regions so that UI will be even more closely
related to local labour market conditions.
"What else is changing
about UI?"
Not much.
The basic two week waiting period
remains the same everywhere. And so do
the rules on the waiting period when a
claimant has left his or her job for no good
reason or been fired for misconduct. In
such cases, a claimant may have to wait up
to eight weeks from when employment
ends until benefits start.
Then there's maternity, sickness and
age 65 benefits.
Previously, sickness benefits were only
payable during the first 39 weeks of the claim.
Now they're payable at any time during the entire
benefit period.
Maternity benefits of 15 weeks and the
special one-time benefit (equal to three weeks'
benefits) at age 65 remain the same.
The same people still pay for the program in
the same proportions, and the types of employ-
ment insurable for UI remain the same, too.
"Would I still go to the
same UI office to claim?"
As explained in the box below, you still go to
the familiar locations for both UI offices and
Canada Manpower Centres. Watch for changes in
your area.
Unemployment Insurance has changed for
everyone's benefit, including yours. All we ask is
that you remember your obligations as well as
your rights.
If the need should ever arise for you to come
to us, we'll make sure you get all the UI benefits
to which you are entitled by law. But you must
keep up the search for a new job all the time
you're getting those benefits.
The Unemployment Insurance Commission and the
Department of Manpower and Immigration have become
the Canada Employment and Immigration Commission.
For a time, you'll still see our local offices identified as
Unemployment Insurance offices or Canada Manpower
Centres. When they're together in one location, they'll be
called Canada Employment Centres.

Thekeremith Township council
has learned that three of its 15
bridges do not Meet the new
standards set'by the government
earlier this year.
A report presented to council
by the engineering firm of 13.M.
Ross & Associates Ltd. Goderich,
stated that the bridges located at
Lot 9, concession 12; Lot 22,
concession 4-5; and Lot 20-21,
concession 4, have critical
deficiencies and need to be
replaced, The report stated that
two bridges require spot im-
provements—one located on
Concession 10 has to have the
footings repaired and the other on
the Vanastra perimeter road
requires . waterproofing of the
deck.
The ministry of transportation
and communications established
the standards for the studies
made on the bridges and will pay
for the engineering costs of the
surveys ordered to determine the
safety of bridges in all
municipalities throughout the
province.
Council authorized road
superintendent Allan Nicholson
to contact the ministry office in
Stratford for clarification on the
road load for the three bridges
until such a time as they will be
replaced.
Nicholson reported that a
number of road signs throughout
the township were stolen or
damaged over the weekend.
Council will rent an almost new
grader- D760 Champion--from
Champion Road Machinery
Limited of Goderich for four
months for snowplowing. Alfred
Ross of Staffa has been hired to
operate the grader and will store
it in his shed when not in use.
Miss Deborah Denomme of
Zurich was hired as a teacher at
the Vanastra Day Care Centre to
replace Pat Semple, who
resigned last month to move to
London. Miss Denomme will
receive a yearly salary of $7,600
for the remainder of this, year
and for 1978 will receive $8,000.
Karen McEwing, director of

children are attending the centre,
Council renewed its agreement
with G.R, Chamney of RR 1
Auburn, for garbage collection at

has about 140 pickups and any
additional pickups over 240 will
be at an additional rate of 63
cents. He will receive $6.00
weekly for pickup at the
Vanastra recreational centre.
Council expressed concern
about numerous overdue water
bills at Vanastra and will be
taking action on collecting them.
It is reviewing new rates for 1978.
Requests for building permits
were approved for Roger
Hoornaert, RR 2, Kippen, pig

response to the ad for animal

and the two women who applied
will be interviewed at the next
council meeting.
Council accepted the tender of
William Brown for $100 to clean
up the numerous wrecked cars
littering the Leo Medd property
in Harpurhey as the result of
failure on the part of Medd to do
the job in spite of repeated
warnings.
Council endorsed the Sandwich
Township West resolution calling
for conviction of vehicle owners
for vehicles illegally passing
school buses, by reporting the
vehicle licence number only. At
present the number must be
given and the driver identified.
Council agreed with the
proposal of the County of Huron

wide basis in any senior citizens
housing unit in the county.

AILSA CRAIG
The annual C.G.I.T. National
Vesper Service of the Ailsa Craig
group was presented Sunday
evening at the Ailsa Craig United
Church to an almost filled
church. The theme of the service
this year was the real risk of
receiving the gift of Christ at
Christmas.
A wall of cardboard cartoez
was set at the front of the church
representing some of the at-
titudes and feelings which cause
a wall to be built between our-
selves and Christ, preventing us
from fully experiencing the
meaning of Christmas.
Throughout the service the
girls removed some of the blocks,
representing fear, ignorance,
selfishness, commercialism, etc,
enabling the congregation to see
over the wall to the manger.
C.G.I.T. members who lead in
the service included Melinda
Harmer, Julie Doer, Wendy Lee,
Elizabeth Ingham, Carol
McCallum, Theresa and Judy
Marshall, Kelly and Kim
McFadden, Candles were lit by
Carol McCallum, Elizabeth
Ingham and Judy Marshall.
A choir was composed by the
young Explorer girls under the
direction of their leaders Ellen
Whitmore and Jane Walker,
C.G.I.T. member Sandra
Heaman played the organ.
