In this week's Huron Expositor, subscribers will find a brown paper bag sponsored by the newspaper and several businesses and industries. Printed on the bag, along with sponsor information, are details of where each of the county bureaus are located and times, gifts and food can be dropped off. It also provides information for people who may need help this Christmas on how to reach the bureau and register. Each year, the bureau collects food and gifts that assist more than 1,000 children and their families across the county.

The Christmas Bureau served 1,073 children and their families in 2002, the highest number ever and an increase from 1029 in 2001 and 975 in 2000. In Seaforth, the numbers of children using the service climbed from 92 in 2001 to 108 in 2002, while the number of families decreased from 50 in 2001 to 48 in 2002. "We anticipate an increase again this year. It really is disheartening because last year, we took a big leap again," says Joan Van den Broeck, community relations officer for the Huron County Children's Aid. "We think of poverty as a third world issue but it's home grown. There's a lot of wealth in Huron County but there's also a lot of poverty," she says. Van den Broeck says the Christmas bag program is an "incredibly important" part of the annual drive for the Christmas Bureau. "Without the community, there would be no Christmas Bureau. What happens for one week determines if others have a Christmas. You have one week to think of your neighbour and if you don't, your neighbour might not have a Christmas," she says. This year, Christmas bureaus are located at the Egmondville United Church in Egmondville, the Christian Reformed Church in Clinton, the Pentocostal Tabernacle in Exeter, Knox Presbyterian Church in Goderich and Sacred Heart Roman Catholic Church in Wingham.

The new threshold of $225 for a regular week of work (up from $iso) reflects increases in Canadian wages. This change makes El more responsive to the needs of Canadian workers. Some things remain the same: • All insurable hours will still be used for eligibility purposes, even if they are not used to calculate your benefit rate. • You must continue to report all earnings in the weeks you earn them. • Earnings allowed while on claim are $5o per week or 25 percent of your weekly benefit rate, whichever is higher. • Employers must continue to remit El premiums on every dollar paid and complete Records of Employment.
