Unfortunately that's not true.
It seems that some people
like you think there's nothing
wrongwith ripping off Canada's
Unemployment Insurance pro-
gram.
"All we did was fail
to report a little extra income
while getting UI."
With that sort of behaviour
you could be charged with a
criminal offence. Isn't it just like
shoplifting or theft?
Cheating on Unemployment
Insurance is stealing from your
neighbours, friends, fellow
employees, employers, and the
Government of Canada, all at the
same time. And not being avail-
able for work -when you're getting
UI is abuse, pure and simple.
"How did you ever
find out?"

claims investigators on staff'. ,And,

County of Huron Planning
Department organized a public
meeting held at Brookside School
on Thursday evening, February
23, with a panel from Maitland
Valley Conservation Authority,
.Waterfront Study Advisory Com-
mittee and the consultingbfirm of
James F. MacLaren iLtd. of
London to present slides, inform-
ation and answer questions from
farmers, cottage owners and
other interested parties.
The Waterfront Study is' to
prepare a waterfront plan with
two components - engineering,
which is concerned with erosion
control and prevention and recre-
ational, which would seek to
provide public access to the lake
front at certain spots.__
Within the 18 mile study area
from Port Albert south there are
100 gullies ranging in size . from
those which drain about 20 acres
to larger ones which take in
thousands of acres. The little
gullies grow at a rate of 1-2 feet
per year while larger ones may
increase by 17 feet a year.
There are three methods of
erosion control but the, deciding
factor is a matter of economics.
Several questions' were poked
such as: Are gabions going to be
built to protect cottages already
built and sliding? Is there
anything to stop individual land-
owner from taking his ;o' step-'
to stop erosion? 'Why don't
engineers get at the source of the
erosion inland before it gets to the
lakeshore? Is Advisory committee
available to landowners adjacent
to the watershed? Can anything
be done to stabilize the water
level in the lake?
Further public meetings will be
held at Colborne Township Hall,
Carlow on February :; Goderich
