same date,
Mr. Bales said the new rate
in general industry will be $1.30
an hour. Present rate is $1.00.
The new rate in the construc-
tion industry will be $1.55.
Present rate is $1.25. Other
rates also were increased.
The new rates will be the
'highest minimum wages in Can-
ada if those in other provinces
remain at present levels.
Mr, Bales said the new rates
will restore the Ontario mini-
mum to the relationship it held
with the cost of living and wages
when it was first established
in 1963.
Since then, the cost of living
has increased 15 per cent and
wages 29 per cent on the aver-
age, he said.
The new Act make's Ontario's
employment standards more re-
flective of working conditions

that have wide acceptance in
the province. It includes all
the benefits made available to
workers under the present legis-
lation.
New provisions include:
Time and one half premium
pay for overtime beyond 48
hours in a week,
Equal pay for men and
women doing the same
work.
Time and a half for work
performed on seven statu-
tory holidays.

empower the labor department
to collect unpaid wages for em-
ployees up to a total claim of
$1,000.
The new minimum wages are
expected to affect about 190,000
workers. Most are not in un-

power.
The new Act does apply to
general farming. However,
minimum wage rates and vaca-
tion with pay protection have
been extended to persons en-
gaged in the boarding or breed-
ing of animals, the raising of
fur -bearing animals, veterinary
services, livestock registration,

tions, landscape gardening,
mushroom growing, the growing
of flowers for wholesale and re-
tail trade, silviculture, tree
trimming and surgery, growing,
transporting and laying of sod,
and the commercial dusting or
spraying of hedges, lawns and
trees, except orchards.
Industries under federal gov-
ernment jurisdiction such as
banks, airlines and railways are
not covered by the Act.
The seven statutory holidays
in the new Act are New Year's
Day, Good Friday, Vctoria Day,
Dominion Day, Labor Day,
Thanksgiving Day and Christ-
mas Day.

BLUE WATER
REST T HOME NEWS
and VIEWS
By
Lance J. Reed, Superintendent
The summer has gone by so
quickly. It's been quite a while
since the last time I took pen
in hand to write for this col-
umn, so now I will try to bring
you up to date.
The hobby and craft room,
since the first of September
has been a busy place on Wed-
nesday and Friday mornings.
Several residents, under the ex-
cellent leadership of Miss Meda
Surerus, have been making vari-
ous items for preparation for
the Blue Water Rest Home
Ladies' Auxiliary bazaar on Sat-
urday, Novermber 23. Some of
the items ready are stuffed ani-
mal toys, fancy decorated coat
hangers, children's bibs aprons,
dresser scarves and many other
items. Miss Surerus was in
charge of the craft room for
September only and I sincerely
hope that she returns again to
take charge for another month
real soon. Mrs. Mary Baechler
and Mrs. Roy Gingerich are in
charge for October, and resi-
dents' hands have been very
busy too.
The Home has received many
donations of garden flowers and
produce through the summer.
A sincere thanks to all donors.
We are always grateful to those
of you who think of the Home
when you have a surplus from
the garden.

On various occasions we have
people employed at the Home
who have required a place to
live. If any reader would eon-
sider offering some type of ae-
ccommodation, perhaps you
could advise me. Room and
board or a housekeeping room
or rooms are usually preferred.
I would be very happy to hear
from you now so that a list of
places with accommodation
might be prepared and kept on
file in the Home office.
The boys and girls of the area
are invited to visit the Home
on Hallowe'en night. There will
be treats for all. Last year
there were many Hallowe'en vis-
itors and all the residents en-
joyed seeing all the costumed
boys and girls.
MINIAINGIONISE
!Faith -healer, Oral Roberts,
appeared on a recent edition of
"Under Attack" which origi-
nated at the University of
Waterloo.
Students tried to back Oral
Roberts into a corner, but each
time he was successful in side-
stepping the questions. He
handled himself extremely well.
Loud bursts of laughter through-
out the program actually assist-
ed the guest in getting out of
a few tight spots.
Roberts doesn't claim to heal
by himself. He does it through
God. When he said God had
spoken to him, one student
asked, "Did he have an accent?"
The audience roared, with Rob-
erts merely smiling, and an-
other question was asked.
If there had been a panel of
intelligent adults facing Rob-
erts, I feel certain he would
have lost the debate and prob-
ably come out looking like a
fool.
Instead, the students were
the fools.

It was sad learning about the
death of veteran radio and TV
actress Bea Benadaret. She was
a star in the popular Petticoat
Junction TV series. Her radio
appearances included such
shows as Burns and Allen, Jack
Benny and many others.

Simply dial '0' (zero) for 'Operator', day or night, working day or
holiday—if an emergency strikes and you need help.
You'll reach her, and she's trained to get you the help you need.
Sure: most people keep a list of emergency numbers handy;
fire department, police, your own doctor, your
nearest hospital. But even so, it's good to know that just
one turn of the dial will put you through to someone
you can talk to, someone who is cool and calm and trained
to complete your call for help.
