CANADA'S NEW LABOUR CODE/Hon. Allis MacEadon, Minister of Labour, answers some questions:
"Yes, and his one of the most all-embracing. Canada
has a right to be proud of it. It sets higher
standards than have been set for any other country I know.
Other countries are taking note of the way
Canadhen Parliament is ensuring that more workers
share be this country's growth."
"It applies to industries which fall under Federal jurisdiction—
and may well prole to be a guide for other industries.
The Government itself, which is a large employer
in its own right, will take the lead by applying
the Code's standards to its own federal employees."
"As we said, it sets minimum standards—and I stress
that these are minimum, because, of course, a lot of workers
already enjoy higher standards than the Code sets.
First, itsets a standard 8 hour day and a 40 hour week,
with overtime limited to 8 hours a week, and paid for at
time-and-a-half.
Second, it sets the minimum wage rate for all'men and
women over 17 years of age at $1.25 an hour.
Next, It.provides for two weeks annual vacation with pay,
after one year's service; or 4% of wages as vacation pay
far those with from 30 days to a year's service.
Finally, it stipulates that each employee shall get
eight statutory holidays with pay a year—
or get a fall day off in lieu of the holiday."
4The Code covers interprovincial or international rail
and highway transport, primary fishing where the fishermen
work for wages, air transport, radio and TV, shipping,
banks, uranium mining, grain elevators, flour and feed
Mb and warehousing, seed cleaning mills, interprovincial
or intentslional pipelines and ferries, interprovincial or
liaternatiosal telegraphs and telephones, most Crown
assporadoss and one or two other smaller industrie.s."
"Our new Canada Labour Code
lies been called a.`first,' Mr. MacEachta
Would you agree?"
"Briefly, who does this new Code
apply to?"
"Let's get down to specifics.
What, exactly, does it promise to those
employees who are affected by it?"..
"You said the new Code applies
to industries under Federal jurisdicdas.
Would ydu name them?"
If you are not sure whether you are coved by the Canada Labour (Standards) Code, write to Department of Labour, Ottawa.

Huron county council beard
from its members that much
illegau deer hunting is going on
in certain parts of the county.
Reeve Lorne Durnin said that
people are shooting "without a
season; they have all the deer
shot before the time."
The agricultural and refor-
estation committee, of which
Reeve Tonle Leiper, of Hull ett,
is chairman, brought in a re-
port concurring in a request
from Huron Fish & Game As-
sociation for an open season.
This had been recommended
earlier in the session by an
officer of the lands and forests
department. Dissent was voic-
ed at once.
"The department is looking
to the revenue," said deptIty
reeve D. Geiger, of Hay, "but
the farmers object to the
hunters,"
"If open at the same time
as in the north country, it
would be mainly local hunters
in this area," said the warden.
The season is going to be open
in Wellington, Waterloo, Bruce,
Perth, Grey and Oxford."
"Mr. Meadows was not sure
about Lambton and Middlesex,
Reeve Leiper recalled.
"Deer have increased in our
locality this past year," reported
Reeve Stewart Procter, of Mor-
ris. "I have been approached
by several for an open season."
"It seems to me," remarked
Reeve Clifford Dunbar, "some-
times we follow the lead of
other counties too much. We
have thoughtful and intelligent
people here. I don't like the
idea of an open season for deer.
The authorities are trying to
conserve wild life, and deer
are wild life."
The vote: yeas, 11; nays, 23.
Huron council in past years
has been reluctant to go along
with an open season for deer
when neighboring counties were
not having one. This year coun-
cil was informed by E. R. Mea-
dows, senior conservation offi-
cer of the department of lands
and forests, that almost every-
body is doing it,
"Bruce and Grey and Welling-
ton are coming in this year,"
Mr. Meadows said, "along with
Waterloo, Oxford and Brant,
and we hope to have Wentworth
and Halton. It would appear
that the dear season should be
successful because of the num-
bers. I think members of coun-
cil and land owners believe
they would be swamped with
hunters if only one or two
counties were open.
"During* May, you had four
deer killed on the roads in
Huron by cars, and how many
near misses there would be we
do not know. Irowever, a lot
of damage is caused in some
areas. The deer population is
high, and we have to look at
it i n t he right manner, to man-
age the (leer herd wisely as ,
you do with beef cattle. Most
does after the first year pro-
dttee a pair of fawns, and there
is not too much that happens
to them, except the odd one'
caught in a fence. Few preda-
tors prey on them in these
parts.
"Ordinarily. Parry Sound op-
ens the first Monday in Novem-
ber. This year it is set back a
Week, to November 8th, and
one or two coincide with this
season. We favor a three-day
season, November 8-10, Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday, shot-
guns only and no dogs. I be-
lieve the last time Huron was
open it Was shotguns only.
Bruce and Grey have gone
along with high-poWer rifles,
but in Hurer t has .been shot-
guns only,"
Warden vy eon: "There has
been considerable criticism by
landowners because sometimes
the dates were later than they
were opening in the north."
Mr. Meadows: "Yes, the idea
of opening at the same time as
the Parry Sound season means
most of the good hunters are
in that area during that first
week, and a certain percentage
go up each year."
Reeve John H. Corbett, Hay:
"I have been wondering if, a
week before the season, we can
put some of your men in there
when illegal hunters are in.
They have shot right on my
farm.. I. have seen a Jot of deer

in the past few weeka.".
Mn Meadows; "We receive a
good many complaints a week
or two late, and I am glad to
have this information. We will
be ready for them. A lot of
landowners do not realize that
a lot of heifers are shot and
go to somebody's locker. I
hope some time to • be in on
one of these and catch a
rustler."
Reeve Tom Leiper, of Hullett,
suggested a reason at the end
of November, when most cat-
tle would be stabled,
Mr. Meadows: "If later, we
have the season by ourselves
and asking the men up north
to come b4Pk. and hunt, which
would put more hunters in the

which can be proved caused by
hunters, you. are entitled to call

tive and get the damage paid."
Mr. Leiper: "In the past year
I have seen only three or four
deer, and I live in the centre
of the county."
Mr..Meadows: "They are eon-
fined mostly to heavy swamp
areas: Colborne and the Hay
swamp, East and West Wawan,
osh."
Answering a question by
Reeve Clift, Bayfield, about
browsing areas, Mr., Meadows
said great damage was done
