Flow long you can•survive this way would depend on the age and condition of the person involved, but Constable MacLeod says the. best idea of all in bad .weatlitt`;',,,a' 'would be to stay at home. • Ever wondered what you should carry with you in your car in case you're caught, out in 'a blizzard? The Expositor got some advice from a medical man and the police. Dr. Rodger Whitman of the Seaforth Medical Clinic had'heard of a rather interestini survival kit froiii a woman who survived two and a half days in a car in a snow bank. Re said some of her advice was that you should have a large metal can--one of the 40 ounce tins with sand in the bottom and. a big e-ancile-th at-will-sit-down -low enough in the sand 'se the wind won't blow it out and high enough ,So that you can light it. The can should have a broa'd. en6Ugh base so that the candle won't tumble over if you come to a sudden stop. You should have a spare. large. candle and matches in waterproof container; . 'This bit of heat from a large candle will, keep a person from freezing to' death, Dr. Whitman said. ' • The lady also recommended thatyou-car_r_y_three_or_lou.t_large..... chocolate bars or something similar because chocolate is a concentrated form of food. Dr.. Whitman recommended a half - pound of cheese-which would also give you energy •to carry on. The lady Also suggested a small can in which you Can. melt some snow for drinking arid a larger one for eliminating. Dr. Whitman recommended Most mothers could use a. little extra help now and then but not everyone would think of Importing a mother's helper from England. Mr. and Mrs. Mac Stewart :of R. R. #1, Dublin did, and as of January 18, Yvonne Hammersley became the Stewart's house- keeper; looking after their five children•who range in age from 14 months to 11 years old. The !Sfewarts hired Yvonne through an employment agency in Toronto which made the connections with Redding Agency in Overseas Employment Atency in England. The .Stewarts had tried the Manpower Centres in both Goderich and Sratford but with little success. There were too many people in line waiting for that kind of help. With 450 acres of land, to keep them busy, the , S't'ewarts had decided they needed a' mother's helper. They had friends in Hamilton who 'had a mother's helper from England and were Street lights of $3. which meant they went from $48.50 to $51.50 for per unit for the new ones: A building permit was approved" for, Neil McGavin for renovations to the interior of his house. The amount of the road • very pleased so the Stewarts decided they'd try the same thing. Since coming to Canada, Yvonne has experienced kuite a few firsts in her life. On her way. over here, she had her first airplane ride. Since arriving she has had -her first toboggan ride, been skiing, and had the ultimate thriii-her first ride on a snow- mobile which she described as "great." ---- • Seeing snow isn't exactly p new experience for Yvonne. Having so much stay around for so long a period is though but Yvonne doesn't mind. "I love it," she said. Yvonne says we, have more sports over here than they do in Eqgland such as tobogganing, skiing, and skating. Over there it's mainly football and soccer. Yvonne 'hasn't noticed much difference in youngsters over here as compared to England but thinks they talk more over here accounts approved for payment were 519.176.07 and the general account Was $3,384,48. The same recreation committee members were. appointed this year. They include Ronald Ryan, Laverne Godkin, Bill Siemon, Gordon Pryce, Don Dodds, Ralph-a McNichol, and Harvey Craig. An applicati©n,..r for. , subsidy • payment was sent to the Ministry of Transportation and Communi- cations requesting the balance of the township's subsidy for 1976- 77 expenditures. A grant of $50 was approved for the Huron Plowmen's • Associ-. ation, when they're younger. Before coming to , Canada, Yvonne had worked in h factory in England where her take home pay was 23 pounds which would be equivalent to about $46 here. Yvonne had done some baby- sitting with children over in England and also did some housework part-time but not full-time like the job she's doing for the Stewarts. • • Yvonne, who lived in Rochdale, which is near Manchester,, is a city girl so she also like to go to the barn. "I've never seen a real live pig ' before," she said. Our cars are about twice the size of the English ones and some prices seem to be a lot cheaper, especially. food prices, Yvonne says. Yvonne's duties as a mother's helper include helping with the Meals, the cleaning, the vacuuming, the dusting and looking after the younger children in the family. , Although she has Saturdays and- Sundays ,off, Yvonne has been going to various events with the Stewarts, sitice she doesn't know top many people yet. Mrs. Stewart said they think of Yvonne as a member of the family. L. Mrs. ,Stewart said they' are going to encourage Yvonne to take time off now because in the spring the Stewarts will be Out on the land more and 'Mrs. Stewart will be driving the tractor, With five children--Elizabeth Anne, 11; Billy, 10; Mary Lou, 6; Susan, 21/2 ; and Nancy 14 months, it sounds like Yvonne will have plenty to keep her busy for the time being. • • A by-law appointing Harry Hak s „ r v I:, a wasa s passed fire e h i e fa tf omr et, ch ri, op municipality Township LP II 's meeting, Monday night.

He thought it was some sort of a game to Claim a little more Unemploy- ment Insurance than the law allowed. NOw he's in trouble. He didn't — report earnings and work while getting UI.

It's our job to pay UI benefits fairly, efficiently and according to law. It's also our job to make sure the pro- gram is not abused by those who have little concern for their fellow citizens or the law of the land. • Getting UI when you're not available for work is abuse, pure and sin le.

" And no one's picking on you. Anyone we find abusing Unemploy- ment Insurance will be dealt with under the law. If you're caught, money improper- ly claimed must be paid back in full. It could mean you pay an administrative penalty. Or you could face prosecution under the Unemployment Insurance Act, or the Criminal Code of Canada. Conviction means a criminal record. UI employs almost 500 full-time trained claims investigators and, like any modern organization, we use new data-handling techniques to their best advantage. We match up Records of Employment with claim records to find the cheaters who don't report earnings while they're on UI. We don't like to prosecute. We'd rather avoid that painful process by telling people that if they cheat, they'll probably. be caught. never really believed it was somere people's criminal;' attitudes toward Unemployment Insurance have been People who would never consider shoplifting or outright robbery have been willing to hide earnings from us to get more UI benefits than the law allows. Almost as if it were socially acceptable or even fun. Eyeryone knows this goes on. No one knows better than we do. Suppose You lose your job. If you've been paying into Unemploy- ment Insurave and you qualify, you have a right to benefits. And we will respect that right as long aS'yoU rememberyout obligations, too. Your obligation is to play it straight with us, And as long as you do that, we're proud to help you, The Unemployment insurance Commission and the Department, of Manpower and Immigration have become the Canada Employment and Immigration Cononission.
