The meet was of the Ontario Arms Collectors’ association and the members had a gay time of it firing century-old —Central Press Canadian muskets, muzzle-loaders, flintlocks and assorted pistols. One member even trotted out a small cannon. Left, is Charlotte Balmer of East York showing the fast draw with a brace of old front­ tier-model pistols.

Labor Leader Will Address Federation Annual Meeting Claude Jodoin, president of the Trades and Labor Congress, and designated head of the new labor body which will emerge from the forth­ coming merger of the TLC and the CCL, is scheduled to address the On­ tario Federation of Agriculture an­ nual meeting this year, Lloyd Jasper, vice-president of the OFA announced last week. Mr. Jodoin will address some 500 OFA delegates, and a large number of invited guests from industry and labor on the evening of November 1, in Toronto. The Ontario Federation of Agricul­ ture annual meeting, which is being held October -31 to November 3, will also feature a panel discussion on the afternoon of November 2 in which the OFA will be asked questions by representatives of labor, industry and consumer. “It is expected that Mr. Jodoin will discuss the reasons which motivated the current merger of Canada’s two largest labor bodies, and will explain labor’s-philosophy underlying the cur­ rent move towards guaranteed annual wages,” Mr. Jasper commented. “The fact that Ontario farmers have invited labor to talk about themselves this year does not necessarily mean that we support their programs or philosophies, but it is an indication that farm people want first hand in­ formation about a group which is having a continued profound influence on Canada’s economy,” Mr. Jasper said. "We admire labor because they have organized themselves to study their problems and find solutions.” “Through the OFA and its member organizations, Ontario farmers have been following a pattern which to a certain extent parallels the efforts of labor,” Mr. Jasper said. “Farmers of Ontario have a never ending flow of problems which are becoming in­ creasingly complex. We have been at­ tempting to examine these problems in an organized and intelligent fashion and where possible find suitable and equitable solutions.” “The panel discussion which is scheduled for November 2," Mr. Jas- labor, in- an oppor- questions ourselves. per continued, “will give dustry and the consumer tunity to raise current which concern them and The farmers’ point of view has not been known as well as it should be in Ontario. It is important that the non-farming groups of Ontario should know a little more about our problems and point of view, particu­ larly because most of these people are our customers in one way or another.” Change Unemployment Insurance System Under Canada’s new Unemployment Insurance Act, which became effec­ tive October 2, tnree major changes have been made in the system of contributions to the unemployment insurance fund. Contributions are now related to weekly earnings rather than to daily earnings; three higher earnings classes have been added; and the scale of contributions has been revised. The change from a daily to weekly contribution system was made to get around difficulties that had arisen from the spread of the five-day week. By using weekly stamps based on weekly earnings, it no longer matters whether a business is on a six-day, five-day, or four-day week. The week­ ly system also makes it easier to record contributions and determine periods of unemployment where there is short-time employment or where a holiday falls in the middle of the week. The higher earnings classes were added to allow higher ranges of bene­ fit to employees. This Was necessary in view of the steady increase in cost of living and wage rates since the previous amendment in 1952. The new scale of contributions is on a more equal basis, as between earn­ ings classes. ’ Under the old Act, con­ tributions as a percentage of average earnings varied from less than one per cent to more than three per cent. Under the new Act, the spread will only be from one per cent to 1.4 per cent, which is about the minimum variation using stamps of fixed de­ nomination.
