Insurance Regulations Are Easily Followed District Manager Of Unem- ployment Insurance Com- mission Explains Manner Of Operation. Letters of enquiry indicate that Regional Officials of the Unemploy- ment Insurance Commission are en- countering a good deal of misunder- standing among workers and employ- ers ITT regard to the proper functions of the workers' insurance books and stamps. In an effort to clear up these diffi- culties, locally at least, Mr. R. N. Watt, Manager of the Employment and Clairol Office, gave the following statement to The Huron Expositor. The insurance books and. stamps provide a simple, inexpensive means of keeping records of contributions made to the insurance fund by both employers and. workers. They are supplied to employers by Jae Unem- ployment Insurance Commission and the stamps May. be purchased from post offices by employers holding nec- essary _permits._ Every worker, upon entering insur- able employment is assigned an insur- ance book by his employer. This book will bear a serial number which Will designate that worker throughout his working lifetime. The emplciyet will detach the front cover from the book, fill in the ,information required and forward ,it to the T.Inemployment In- surance Commission. The books. are designed to cover a year's records and are renewable only once a year. If -one is last or mislaid it rimy be r( placed, upon the person responsible taking a declaration and paying" a fee of $1.00. It is important that this ho done as soon as the loss is dis- cc,vered. The 'books are not transfer- able. • The stamps are issued in conveni- ent •denominations to cover the joint daily or weekly contributions of the employer and the worker. The law •requires the employer to affix in his workers' books, the correct number of stamps of the required. denomina- tions to cover their joint contribu- tions every pay day. He will deduct the workers' shares from their wag- s. The books provide a simple, ac- curate record, which inspectors and workers alike may check easily and quickly. Should the worker be laid off, or for any reason quit his job, the em- ployer is required to make his final entry of stamps and to give the book to the worker without delay. The worker has the right–to examine his book at intervals that are mutually convenient to himself and his employ- er and he should check it carefully when quitting his job. If the worker is going to a new job, PULL UP YOUR SOCKS... OLLARS:::: The Huron Expositor 110••••.••• 'Replecige • Or. or a he should deposit his *hook with his new employer at once and the latter will continue the record of contribu- tions in the same book. An employer should not issue a new book to a worker who has been in insured em- ployment elsewhere. There are severe penalties prevOest. for in the Aet for any wilful or trfi-, ulent misuse of •an insurance bOok.",' However, the regulations respeeti110., the use of the books are easily WI!! •,,' lowed and. 11! this is dime the systeni will not be burdensome. • Our Town is at War • Men are drilling in our town . . . school. When the Empire went to war and Canada went to war . . . this town went to war. Every now and then a Few more men from this town leave, for active service. We're taking the war more seriously. • Are we? Are we all? • Are those of us who haven't joined up doing all we can? Are we lending all • our own men ; ; ; men we call by their first names.

The help of every Canadian is needed for, Victory. In these days of war the thoughtless; selfish spender is a traitor to our war effort. A reduction in personal spending is now a 'vital necessity to relieve the pressure for goods; to enable mare and more tabour and materials to be diverted to winning the war. The all-out effort, which Canada must make, demands this • self-denial of each of us. SUPPORT THE WAR WEAPONS DRIVE IN YOUR COMMUNITY Published by the War Savings Committee, Ottawa SPEND CESS— 70 80?
