(2) It must be one which could or- dinarily have been followed by the worker outside the ordinary hours of Ms usual employment. (3) The remuneration or profit must not exceed pee dollar ($1.00) on the day in question, or where it is earned or payable in respect of a per- iod than a day, it must not exceed one dollar on the daily average. Even if the, worker thinks that these three cenditions have been com- plied with, he must give particulars of anpr work he ie. doing to the local Employment and Clairns officer and enquire whether his insurance bock slimed be stamped A. worker must not declare himself unemployed on any day on which he is working, but must inform the local office regard- ing work done. Moreover, if a worker, after his employment has terminated cortin ues to receive wages or holiday pay- ments from his employer, payable under his contract of service; he is not considered to be unemployed for benefit purposes. An. applicant for benefit whether man or women, who is maintaining a dependent husband, wife or child under 16 years' of age, can, qualify for benefit at a higher rate, Ftrll details should be reported to the Employment and Cinema, of- ficer who will assist an applicant re— garding a benefit claim In any way he can. A new registration of all workers;'. 'Marred and non-insured, ininsets- tries which' now have insureds em- ployees is ebing carried on by the Unemployment Insurance Commis- sion. It must be completed by March 31st,the close of the fiscal year; when insurance books now in use must be turned in. The information gathered will be used to bring the Commission records' up to date, and' also to furnish information for a man- power inventory which the Govern- ment is making. This inventory is being made under the authority of an Order -in -Council .passed under the War Measures Act. The Unemployment Insurance Com sideeion . is now distributing the new Amine for thisregistrationto em- ployers all over the Dominion. Thiers are more than 150,000 employers with insurableenrpi'oyeee in Canada, and the number of inenmed workers is over 2,000,000. The man -power in- ventory registration will, of Mune, include many more them 2,000;000, embracing, as it does ,insurable and non -insurable employees of indnrstry. The tonne which are being distrib- uted have been prepared with a view to as'eertaining the skill and training of workers 'so that Canada's working strength may be utilizeeil in the most effective manner. The War effort is constantly calling for more and more trained and skilled men. It is hoped ,through •the inventory, to dis- cover workers with .skill and training which may be of value in =trying on the maximum war effort. The registration cards are being sent to employers who will see that they are filled out in respect to all their ori; ployees. They will then be returned to the Lenployment and Claims Of- fices, of which there are more than 100 across Canada. Immediately af- ter the last pay period in Marc!,, in- surance books must be turned in and new ones will be issued to cover the fiscal year opening on April 1st. It is essential that there registration be completed and old insurance books be turned in by the end of this month. Information in respect to the regis- tration and the issue of insurance books is obtainable at any of the Ere ployment and Clams Offices of the Unemployment Insurance Commie- eon. RED CROSS EMERGENCY RESERVE CALLS FOR 12,000 VVOLUNTEERS Wanted—.12,000 women throughout Ontario to take their places in the rvtu'sing Auxiliary Reserve of the Red Cross. The need is urgent. The Re- serve is being organized by the On- tario Division of the Red Cross, to meet any emergency of epidemic or disaster. Its purpose is to provide training for women who will work voluntary under professional direc- tion in their homes or wherever nee - emery. This Emergency Reserve will func- tion directly under the Millen De- fence Committee where such exists, otherwise under the local Medical 01- ficer of Ilealth, .Those who have al- ready enrolled for C.D.C. Medical Serviees, and have not been assigned to a Pint Aid! Past, sae urged to en- rel for this home service. The Emergency Nursing Reserve will consist of two groups. Group 1 will comprise graduate nurses who are willing to nerve in the event of an emergency or epidemic, The sec- ond group will comprise women who have taken home nursing training under d'ir'ection of eithet the Red Cross or the St. John Ambulance As- eociation, or who are willing to -un- dertake this training at once. Both groups will be given sPecial courses in war emergencies. Under the direction of Mise Flor- "As she is now. Same dress." "Was she carrying anything -any bundle, any coat over her arm?" "No-rtothing." "Could she have had anything as big assay, a fire axe hidden under her dress?" George's eyes bulged. "A—A fire axe? Why should she carry such a thing?" "Answer my question! Could she have hart one under her dress?' George glanced apologetically at Adele, sitting white-fa'eee beside: him. "You can, see for yourself how her dress fits her :tight, like e----" "Yes or no!" Loring thundered, pounding the table sharply. "No!", George exploded, also, beat- ing the table. At that, Adele keeled over, sliding from her chair onto the floor under tbz table, where she lay in a limp: heap. (TO BE CONTINUED) .
