The unemployed will "not hang around a community where industry is not expanding. They move to larg- er and larger areas of unemploy- me"nt. The I'e 11t is that -the -big get bigger and the small remain small. Industries are interested in Goderich. But the evidence is there that "designated areas" are stealing them away with the lure of govern- ment tax concessions. Unemployment no longer looms as large a problem as it was when the "designated area" program was originated, and the government could now turn its attention to help- ing those communities where indus- trial growth is falling. behind be- cause of the liability of competing with "designated areas." Next Monday a delegation rep- resenting 45 municipalities, includ- ing Goderich, is to meet with Mr. Drury to press for. "designated area" status for a larger area of Western- Ontario. The details of the brief this group plans to present to the mini- ster are being_ kept secret until after the meeting.s It is fortunate that Mr. Murphy will be a member of that delegation, as thewrepresentative from Goderich, and in a -position, Co reinforce the brief with his proposed Legislative changes.

But there is one thing that the nienlhers of the 'public do under- stand, and that is who is paying for• education, which now takes the nntjor chunk of tax dollar. That is why the contract for the addition, under construction at Goderich . District Collegiate Insti- tute, was a refreshing change. The bid that was accepted was actually lower than the estimated cost. The trend all across _the_ pro- vince has found construction tend- ers far exceeding the originally esti- ,mated price, often to the extent of being double. ti The experience, of the Goderich District Collegiate Institute Board in- this case may be an' indication that the economic pressures that have been sending prices upward are easing off. It could not happen in a better place than education.

The sun-bathed "'paters of Lake Huron off G(nerich Har- bor were a veritable "Anglers Paradise" on Wednesday with perch being caught in short order by the bushel basketfuls. Fishermen were present front many parts of Western Ontario with a good quota from Detroit. Unless there is a break in the weather in the meantiinie, perch fishing should hit a peak 'on the weekend.

The International Hydrologic Decade, a co-ordinated global effort to learn 'more about the world's water resources, was launched last year by scientists of more than 90 countries. • Maj -Gen. H. A. Young, chair- man of the decade's Canadian .national connittee, said the Great"" Latices field year is ex- pected ,bo start in thhe sprang of 1969 or 1970. Heart of the program, to con- tinue for 15 to 18 months, will be intensive hydrological an'd ,physical studies of one of the lakes: Gen. Young said the Canadian committee had proposed the Great Lakes field year as a co- operative international project. Their American counterparts accepted the idea. Preliminary plans. including selection of the lake to be stud- iecL..._vidll be discussed Oct.. 25 in Detroit by a Canadian -U.S. steering committee. Canadian co-chairman of this committee is' T. Lloyd Richards, dread of the Lakes Investigation Unit of the Meteorologieal Branch of the federal Depart - ment of Transport. U.S... co- chairman is William J. Drescher of the U.S. Geological Survey. As far as possible; the lake to be studied will be representa- tive of the Great ' Lakes as a whole. it will also be cnosen on the basis of public need and interest, logistics "and other practical cob siderations. The scientists' main concern will be with precipitation and evaporation over the lake, the inflow and outflow of ground and surface water, "the lake's energy balance and circulation patterns. They will also study problems of sedimentation, lake chemistry and biology where these relate to the main Objec- tive. This concentrated research effort is expected to touch off other scientific investigations. The data collected will provide a broad basis for many of these studies.

While I ani- a great admirer of horses, and, wa1i thed the classes in•entibYried being judged, I am afraid I will have to disqualify myself as I do not own any horses.

How IVES Became Manpower In 1940, the Unemployment Insurance Act created a com- mission tgadministyer a national unemployment insurance plan ployment service. During—the next year, a country -wide net- work of local offices was estab- lished by the commission to con- duct its operations. However, in 1942, when the National Selec- tive Service Regulations were passed, the 'department of labor became responsible tier admini- stration of both staff and premises of the Cern-mission - for the duration of the Second World War, local offices became known as National, Selective Service Offices. In 1945 the 'local offices were. returned to the administration of the Unemployment Insurance Commission and they took on the dual name of Unemployment Insurance Commission/National Employment Service. For the next 20 years this identity was retained and during this time the employment service func- tion of the local office steadily gained in importance as tech- nological change and the in- creasing complexity of the labor market resulted in greater and greater demands on it. In recognition of the changes being wrought, a Committee of Inquiry into the Unemployment Insurance Act was appointed on July 17, 1961, under the chair- manship of Ernest C. Gild. In November, 1962, the Gill Com- mittee made its report and one of its . recommendations was that the National Employment Service should be transferred to- the )department of labor as a necessary move to co-ordinate efforts relating to • manpower policy and employment pro- grams On April 1, 1965, the National Employment Service• again be- came the responsibility of the department of labor and im- mediate efforts were made to separate the emploment func- tion from the insurance func- tion in the local office. How- ever, further changes were in store and in Dec,, 1965, from extensivere-alignment was to come a new Department of Man- power and Immigration. "On Jan. 1, 1966, the local emplpy- ment offices became a part of the department of citizenship and immigration until such tine as the new department could be created. A new manpower administra- tion was quickly evolved and the appointment of local employ- ment servfce managers, as dis- tinct .from unemployment in- surance office managers, was pursued vigorously. In addition, higher salary scales for qualified local office staff were put into effect and arrangements made for addi= tidhal staff in order• to success- fully implement plans for in- creased emphasis on labor mar- ket activities. A ztra- tion is beirbg eyoedtvedin,order.. that ldecentraliocal offices can adminismost ef- fectively pursue their objectives.
