This Act and its Regulations are adminis- tered by the Dominion Minister of Labour, through the National Employment Service. Reinstatement Officers are available in the National Employment Offices to answer in- quiries, and assist in adjusting cases. Employeesâ€"either men or women â€" are to be reinstated if: DISCHARGE!) PERSQNNEL MAY RETURN TO OLD JGBS Cook & Gibson T. C'. Newman Richmond Hm Everv HUMPHREY MITCHELL A. MacNAMARA ongN _F_:VEN;NGs_ The Reinstatement in Civil Employment Act, passed by Parliament in 1942, sets forth conditions under which employers MUST REINSTATE their former employees in their employment after discharge. (a) they worked for their employer 3 months immediately prior to enlistment, and were not replacing another employee who has since been reinstated; (b) they left their employment to join the Armed Services, the Merchant Marine, or the Fire Fighters Corps; (c) they apply to their employer for reinstate- ment, verbally or in writing, within 3 months followin discharge in Canada or 4 months if disc arged Overseas. Provision may be made for extenéion of time if the employee's health prevents him or her from returning within the specified three months. In this event, the employer must be advised within the 3 or 4 months, as the case may be. Minister of Labour The period of time spent with the Armed Services is to count for seniority rights, pen- sion rights, vacations with pay, and certain other benefits. Discharged personnel who cannot perform their former duties are to be reinstated in the m'ost suitable employment available, at which they are capable of working. If an em loyer dismisses a reinstated em- ployee wit in 6 months he must be able to Prove in court that he bad reasonable cause for so doing. Discharged men and women upon reinstate- ment are to be given conditions not less favourable than would have been enjoyed had they continued in employment instead of joining the Forces. 6 Botefor’d St. Phone 120 The president of the Canadian Na- tional Railways, R. -C. Vaughan, made a gratifying report to the railway committee of the House of Commons. Prime Minister King is expected back from overseas in the not far distant future and will have an im- portant report to make to Parlia- ment. It is no secret that the mighty problems of the international sphere weigh heavily upon the shoulders of those charged with responsibility of government these days. The world picture today is one Which must cause considerable concern to every thoughtful citizen. Many of our do- mestic problems which cry for solu- tion must wait a return to some sort of normalcx throughout the world. Secretary of State, Martin, has now received over 400 suggested de- signs for Canada’s new National Flag. We favour the adoption of a National Flag, but hope too much controversy will not develop in choosâ€" ing the design. We feel that what the flag symbolizes is more import- ant than the symbol, and that our time and effort should be m05t di- rected in building a nation which will be honoured and respected throughout the world, and which will give to its people opportunity, health, happiness, security and the best possible way of life. Work of the session is progress- ing, slowly but surely, and there is reason to hope it may be completed by the early days of December. While no one wants to hurry the transac- tion of public business it must be admitted that here there is consid- erable time taken up with needless oratory and repetition of questions. While none would wish to miss any possible cure for our social and econ- omic ills, we admit sometimes it would appear some are more inter- ested in advertising their particular brand of medicine, than in effecting a cute for the patient. Much import- ant work is being done these days in committee and many interesting pro- posals are still to come before the House. . There was considerable political interest here in the provincial elec- tions in Manitoba, Nova Scotia and British Columbia. The results were' more decisive than anticipated. in Manitoba the C.C.F. opposition failed to make gains, and the same party lost ground in Nova Scotia and Brit- ish Columbia. On the other hand the complete elimination of Conser- vative party representation in Nova Scotia makes the OCR, with two members, the official opposition. Deputy Minister of Labour OTTAWA LETTER (“W-IO E By Jack Smith, M.P., North York The Budget has also indicated a reduction in the former huge Gov- ernment expenditures, and the re- tention of safeguards against sudden and unmanageable in fl a t i o n e r y trends. The Government has set up its new fiscal machinery to encourage the return of industry to its peace- time footing easily and to promote its capacity to increase production. This will have the effect of expand- ing the job lists throughout the coun- try. This week mcmbers and Senators heard an interesting talk by Jacques Graber, who will direct the beautifi- cation of Canada’s Capital city. The master planner drew an inspiring picture of the possibilities of making Ottawa one of the most beautiful of the world’s Capitals. The m‘andeur of the natural setting here lends itâ€" self to beautification and it is hoped when the plan reaches completion Canadians will have a national Cap- ital worthy of this great country. There is almost unanimous sunpcrt for the government proposal to go ahead with this work, but we agree with many who feel there should be planning for the beautification not only of our Capital City, but also for the beautification of every centre in 1110anada and the countryside as we . Some long time ago the Govern- ment indicated it would look with favour upon the creation and modest expansion of small businesses, since it had a conviction that a vast num~ ber of healthv small businesses are more conductiVe to a steady and ef- fective political economy than a few huge industrial empires. To this end. the Budget names very specific relief measures to encourage the founding and operation of small businesses. Measured in figures preceded by the dollar sign, the evidence of efficient administration is to be seen in an anticipated clear surplus of $25,000,- 000 earned in this year’s operations. More important to the public than the substantial increase in C.N.R. earnings, however, should be the promise of an improved service in the years ahead as soon as labor, materials and new equipment can be obtained. The railways of Canada. Canadian National and Canadian Pu- cific alike, have made a magnificent contribution to Canadian effective- ness in the years of war. They have responded to the multiplied demands of the nation under war conditions with an astonishing capacity to carry increasing loads. In later years, when it is probable that the volume of traffic will re- cede, the public would do well to keep in mind that railways are as essential as highways in Canada. Reaction to the budget continues favorable throughout the country. Taxes remain high, but they have come down some; expenditures re- main high, but they have also come down. Discussion of the Budget will take plane early in the Commons, and while spme minor modifications can be expected, on the whole there is no reason to doubt that the Goverr- ment policy will be acceptable. on for the bast year, and this Etudxi will now be examined by Justice Minister St. Laurent. Another development in the CIC is the extension of its activities by the aDDointment of additional in- vestigation officers. Somp of these men â€" indeed. nerhans all of them â€" will be World War II veterans of high calibre. In due course it is: expected that this whole matter will come before Parliament, since some amendments to the Combines Investigation Act are exnected. The day when big business consist- ently drove the locomotives and the little fellow rode the rods is past in Canada. It certainly was not the easiest of all budgets to prepare, and there is general appreciation of this fact. Nevertheless. Mr. Ilsley presented a document more cheerful than most had been led to expect. 0n the whole. the taxation tide has turned, and this is not unwelcome. In keeping with this Government policy of promoting smaii businesses and restraining: the huge one:, look for an increase in the efficiencv quotient of the Canadian Combines Investigation Commission. For a long time this machinerv has been in thp Department of Labour. but it has now been fransferred to the De- partment of .Justice.

LATE JAMES JONES ORITUA RY THE LIBERAL, RICHMOND HILL, ONTARIO J. A. Greene Sounds Note (Continued from Page 1) dovatedly are willing to pay it. But I would ask: Does this proâ€" posed war memorial and recreation centre serve any of the purposes we have in mind? Will it contribute anything to mending the broken heart of the mother or wife of one departed Richmond Hill soldier? Will , NV .7 .__., .wuv. __- dead ? We live in a world of reality and so we must: recognize that, although we cannot hope to mend the broken heart, We 'can commemorate the heroic dead and honor our youths who were able to return to us. But will a recreation centre answer that ourposc? Will the opportunity with which it will provide us to dance, skate, play ball, curl, bowl and en- gage in any other activity in our leisure, help us to discharge our on- Iigation of reverent commemoration and solicitude for the kin of our heroes. When for two minutes in the morning of Remembrance Day we devote ourselves silently to thoughts of our dead, would We per- mit the interruption of jazz music from a rag time band? Is a para- llel not apparent? “A Bit Selfish” And finally what of the cost of our proposed playground? About $100,000 on which interest charges at 5 per cent would come to 8100 per week, each and every week, and on which there would be depreciation charges, and the cost of maintaining a caretaker, besides the establishment of an amortization fund for the even- tual retirement of the investment. How much of all this necessary rev- enue could be expected from the me- morial hall and recreation centre? I leave the answer to the people of Richmond Hill. Within Our Means Isn’t there something just a b;t selfish in the conclusion that we can provide ourselves with opportunities for pleasure, enjoyment and good times and thus honor the dead? What .would a grieving family about to visit the grave of a loved one say if it was invited to abandon the idea and to honor the dead by going on a picnic? And one other thing: I have seen no provision for youth of the village in the plans for a war memorial and recreation centre, nothing for the little brothers and sisters of the sol- diers as the former grow up. Of course, they, too, may enjoy the sports at our 'big memorial play- ground, and they may learn rapidly there, more rapidly than their par- ents and teachers wish, that life is just a bowl of cherries. Nothing is offered them» in the way of night school classes so that they may im- prove their position in life, although such classes would be a blessing for young people who have left school and in fact for folks in all walks of life who would like to better their general education or acquire the technical skills of a trade. I am con- fident our public and high school teaching staffs would coo-operate fully rinflsuch anAente‘rprise. On November 11, Remembrance Day, we spend two minutes of rev- erent silence in honor of our beloved dead. It is unfortunate that in no public place in the community are their names yet inscribed so that we might recall them this coming Noâ€" vember 11, although hostilities with Germany were concluded months ago, and that is the theatre of war in which most of our youths were Gn- gaged. It would have been a simple but inspiring tribute if, instead of the grandiloquent plans about which we have been hearing: so much, the cannon in front of the tablet at the public school had been removed and a marble stone put in its place with the names of our foys who gave their lives in the re ent conflict in- scribed thereon, and if the arch it- self had been extended to the north with the names of all the Richmond mllrboys {who servedset forth. ‘ A â€"â€" she collapsed. Officers of the York County Veterans Association had thevcase brought to their atten- tion, they stepped in and provided assistance, whilst arrangements were being made with the proper author- ities to make provision for the fam- ily until they were able to take care of themselves. This 'case is one of many from the files of the York County Veterans Association. The Poppy Fund was organized to take care of such cases as these. No one in the York County Veterans Association or any of its branches is paid for services. We work gladly and freely to take care of the need of others. Vaughan and Richmond Hill Branch are making their annual Poppy Fund Appeal. Will you help? Organizaâ€" tions and churches are urged to pur- chase their wreaths from the local veterans. "Send to J. Vgrley, Righ- That would have been something within our means, something of which the soldiers themselves and their families would have been justly proud, something in front of which our people could have stopped for a moment in loving remembrance. But it was not to be. Instead, we have talk of a big memorial playground for playboys, utterly lacking in a background of sympathy for the families of our soldiers and the sol- emnity and reverence so essential in a memorial setting.
