This is what Ontario is doing to make certain you receive it. We have a law in Ontario which permits any pregnant woman, married or not, to fake a 17-week unpaid leave of absence to have her baby. This law covers part-time as well as full-time employees, provided that they have been working for the same employer for at least 63 weeks before the expected date of birth. When she returns to work, the new mothbr is guaranteed the right to her former 'position or to a comparable pOsition with no loss of seniority or benefits, Naturally;preg'hancy does not prevent an employee from being dismisSed for valid • reasons not connected with pregnancy, bUt pregnancy alone cannot be the cause of dismissal where an employee is eligible for leave. An expectant mother is required to give two weeks' notice in writing of the day she intends to leave. She is entitled to, begin her leave any time within 11 weeks before the baby's birth but she must take at least six weeks of her leave afterwards. If the em- ployer wishes the employee to begin her leave,before she wants to do so, the em- ployer must prove that she is unable to perform her normal duties adequately. The employee is eligible for Unemploy- ment Insurance benefits during her preg- nancy leave (even if she does not intend to resume work when her leave expires) if she had at least 20 weeks of ensured employ- ment during the year before the birth. At least ten of the 20 weeks should have fallen between the 30th and the 50th weeks before the birth. If you would like more information about pregnancy leave or other labour legislation of interest to working women, write to: Ontario 20, OUeen's Park, Toronto, Ontario. and we will send you a brochure, Ministry of Labour Bette Stephenson, M.D., Minister 1"%aiiie6* Province of Ontario.

Huron Board of Education last Monday reaffirmed a prev- ious decision to discontinue school crossing guards at the end of December. In August the board voted to end school patrols effective Sept. and end their financial support of adult crossing guards at the end of the year. The board employs an adult guard at Victoria. Public School in Goderich and pays half the wages of a similar guard at the intersec- tion of Highway 4 and Victoria streets in Exeter near the Exeter, public School. The original decision was made to eliminate the guards and student patrols to-end the possib- ility of legal liability in the event of an accident. At that tune the board hoped Exeter and Goderich councils would pay for the guards as other councils in the county do. On September 4, Exeter council agreed to assume the cost as of January 1 1976 but changed their policy two weeks later and asked the school board to reconsider the decision regarding the sharing of costs involved. Director of Education John Cochrane said Monday he felt there was some misunderstand- ing between crossing guards and student patrols. The original Goderich resolu- tion requested that the Board continue providing a' student patrol safety program for the elementary school system and said it would review the matter of crossing guards and would take effort to fill the need. Exeter board member Clarence "King" MacDonald said, "I don't know who should pay for the. service of the crossing guard but in no way can a grade seven or eight student handle street crossings during the busy traffic on Highway 4 in Exeter." The motion to stick by their original decision was made by trustee John Elliott. FREE ESTIMATES I o Barn. Cleaners ° Bunk Feeders ! ° Stabling Donald G. Ives I.
