They should produce enough to feed the people of Canada and- at the same time produce all, that they can for Britain. Ph•e increasing of production of these foodstuffs is limited by rea- son of the farm labor problem, the feed problem and the question of )housing' for livestock in the case of an expanded stock breeding program. •'I think we should study whether we are doing our work as efficiently as possible," he said. "We all know, the case of the Danish farmer who was producing 100 pounds of gain on •his hose with only 350 pounds of feed, while Canadian farmers were feeding as high. as 500 pounds of feed. We didn't think it possible that we could do the same thing and yet today we can and are producing hogs on the same amount of feed as the Danish farmers used. That is but one ex- ample of increased efficiency. We can all help the war effdrt by doing our own job as efficiently as possible." Clear Points . of Insurance Act Questions of a perplexiog nature to ereploy�•s and employees alike in re- gard to nsbirability and contri'bution's under the Unemployment Insurance Act are being answered daily by 'Mr. R. N. Watt, Manager of Stratford. In discussing some • of these prob- lems Mr. Watt stated that there' is no age limit or minimum wage limit for insurability. The employer pays both the • employer and employee contribu- tione for workers who'earn less than 90c a day on who are under 16 years of age. The weekly rate of stainp to be affixed in each of these cases is 27c. .All employees are insurable unless they • habitually work less than four hours a day, or are available for em- ployment in insurable work for -only two days of the week. Accordingly, a person who ordinarily works our hours or more a day, but whoa times works for less than four hours is still nnsura.ble for each day on which he works. For any such day worked, 1/6th of a weekly stamp is inserted in the In- surance Book by the employer. The .weekly stamp is divided into six sec- tions and is rouletted sceethat it can be easily torn for this purpose. A half d'ay's work 'by an employee who usually works a full day is re- , corded in the Insurance Book as a full working day. Two other points have been causing some • confusion. Full --lime students who work during the school term; whether it be on Saturday or at any other time, are not insurable. If, however, they work during vacation periods they are insurable, and con- tributions must be paid to the Unem- ployment Insurance Fund. Benefits are stored up and may be used at some future date. In drawing bene- fits, a worker's , employment history for the preceding five years is taken into consideration. Contributions made during vacation months while a student, will indrease the length• of time a worker can draw benefits. • A special order- has been drawn up regarding students who will be em- ployed during this Christmas 'vaca- tion (December 13 to December 31). ,Students who have not worked pre- viously and have no insurance books will be excepted. Students who have worked during the summer holidays and already have insurance books will be insurable, and contributions must be made on their behalf. Finally, under the terms of the Un- employwent Insurance Act, statutory holidays are regarded as working days and contribution must be made .in the same manner as for the ordinary working day, if the employee has worked the remainder of the week in which the holiday occurs. - BRUCEFIELD Mr. and Mrs. J.

In a Refugee Ship This 'is the 'first of a series of articles about conditions in Great Britain and other parts of Europe, written exclusively for the week- 'ly newspaper of Canada by Hugh Templin, of the Fergus News - Record. Somewhere in the Atlantic, between the Azores and Bermuda—What a strange place this is for the editor of a Canadian weekly nevyspaper to be in this fatter part of. October, 1941, after more than two years of war! And when you come to think of it, what a strange place for anyone to be, unless driven by dire necessity. Most of the other 140 people on- board the U. S. Steamship Elccambion are here because of necessity. They are fleeing from unhappy Europe, glad enough to get away in spite of perils that may still lie hhead. They are refugees, hoping for •peace•in the United States. The passenger list contains the name of a Prinee related to one of the •still -ruling royal Pam- ilies•of Europe. There are such names as. Gomez y Gomez, and Pastuhov, and Pin Tsao, and Radajewski. There is a group of 'wholesome young people Who have left the U.S. Embassy in Berlin wile the going is good, and several Chinese famines, iucludiug some cute little children, being with- drawn from the Embassy in Switzer- land. There is a man from the British diplomatic service, occupying a cabin ell by himself because he carries con- fidential information to Washington; and there is a Lieutenant in the U.S. navy in civilian clothes, returning front a mission to Britain. There are two English women forced to leave France on 24 hours' notice. They have not tasted meat for two years because they fed their entire ration, such as it was, to •a Siamese cat that now accompanies .them on the ship. There is a little French girl who ordered two poached eggs for breakfast her first morning on the boat and then could not eat them when they came, but sat and cried salt tears over them because her appetite was gone. , And another family from Unoccupied France ate nothing .but potatoes for stately English woman who crawled out under barbed -wire entanglements to get to Portugal and..so on• this ship. Editors on a Refugee Ship ° In such a crowd as this, eleven Canadian editors may seem rather out of place, and truly, none of us evereexpected to be on this ship. We had planned to go flying through the air- from Lisbon to New York, re- tut•ning as we had come. But, in October flying conditions are uncer- tain. We seemed likely to wait in Lisbon for weeks before our turn came to go on the Clipper. One week in that city got us down. Those who were not actually sick were entirely unenthusiastic about any More Lisbon meals or climate or scenery. We were i ervous after being trailed day after day by members of the German ges- tapo• who stayed in the same hotel as we diel. When the chance came ,to leave by boat, we took it. ..,One of the editors is from St. John, and Harvey, McKillop. One uaug'r- ter predeceased -het in infancy. The pallbearers were six nephews: Stew- art, Russell and Leslie Dolmage, Ross Leiper and Allan and Reg. Dolmage. 'Mrs. J. A. Montgomery spent a .week visiting • Mr. and Mrs. William 'Montgomery in Brantford.. • Miss Margaret Montgomery is vis- iting Mr. and Mrs. Neil Montgomery in London. Mr. and Mrs. Peter McCowan, of Roxboro, spent Sunday at the home of Mr. and Mrs. George Eaton.

As a member of the association, The Huron Expositor has pleasure in presenting this week the first in a series of articles by'Mr, Templin describing his experiences. N.B. He loves the sea and boats and all things connected with them, and he jumped at the chance to come by ship. An the rest of us would have preferred' to travel by air. Those in Peril on the Seas Four days before we lett Lisbon, the papers of that city were all ex- cited because a Portugese ship had been sunk by the Germans, appar- ently because of tungsten ore on board, destined for the United States. Two days later, they were mourning the deaths of two British families n from Portugal, returning- to England until their shipwas torpedoed off the coast. On thway to Lisbon, this same steamship Exeambion was met by a German. bombing plane which circled around it, mast -high, and then flew away again. On the day .we sailed from Lisbon, news came that the Germains had torpedoed the American destroyer Kearney. Two days out, an American freight boat was sunk in the Atlantic, straight south of where we were. This very morning, when we awoke, it was to see another ship .coming. closer. As it drew near, we could. see that it wasn't the merchant vessel it pretended to be, but had business-likee guns• fore and aft. It had no flag, nor gave any signal, bort crossed our bows and went on. We all realized ?hese dangers, but as the days passed and our boat continued on its way, the tension relaxed. The restful, monotonous days on board ship gave us all time to recover from strenuous and exciting times over- seas. When the invitation came to me to go to England for a few weeks to represent the weekly papers of Can- ada, there were many who envied me because of that opportunity. If it •ig any comfort to them now, I can say quite truthfully that there were times when I would gladly have traded places with any of them.- Travel across the Atlantic these days is something. that should not be under- taken except from necessity. Adventurous Weeks But on the wbole these have been wonderful weeks. I have crossed the Atlantic by air, one of the most ro- mantic voyages in the world today. I have flown. altogether some -9,000 miles by American Clipper, Royal • Dutch Air Lines-•an•d British Overseas Airways. I have visited Bermuda, the Azores, England, Southern. Ireland) and Portugal. I have talked with Winston, Churchill, many members, of his Cabinet, Britain's greatest news- paper men, a former Canadian .Prime Minister . and the Canadian High Commissioner, the Canadian Corps Commman'der.and many of his officers and soldiers, and a host of the' "com- mon people" of England who have come through bombings, have lost their homes and, their relatives, yet carry on in Britain's hour of need. I have tasted the hospital•lty of great and small in England and have made. new friends there. There have been plenty of thrills. I have flown down the Bay of Biscay in a seaplane with not a light show- ing and the hostile enemy coast riot l'ar away. I have stood on a roof -top in London with the fire -watchers and have seen the distant flashes of anti- aircraft guns shooting at an enemy plane approaching tthe city. I have been through a '',blitz" myself—have seen and 'heard and felt the explo- sions of huge enemy land mines and have come through the ordeal un- scathed but knowing that if any one of a dozen things had been slightly different, I would not •have been here •at all. I have been at a bomber sta- tion and have taTlced, to the boys who make the long trips over France and Germany to unload their cargoes of death, and i have seen the Royal Can- adian Air Force fighter pilots come back to their airports after being in action. England in Wartime T have heanrd Churchill defend his actions on the floor of the House of Commons and have stood amid the ruins of Coventry Cathedral. I have walked in the London blackout and, in the pleasant English .countryside, • ' • - Arden had its i•arge late been- trailed by the man gestapo in Lisbon and have seen a bullfight., I have ridden on trains, in buses, in cars, in the un- derground, an4 have talked to friend- ly folk everywhere. These are the things I s'ha1l write about in the series pf stories which will appear in thud hewspaper",tluning the next three Months.
