Speaking to an audience of 50, mostly party members, Lew- is said the NDP's predictions about the economy and high un- employment are already proven to be true by‘fhe figures about joblessness being published during the week. Lewis pointed out in the Prairies where the lowest rates of unemployment exist. He said it is significant that the lowest rate of unemployment in Can- ada is in Manitoba. a province that drfimatically switched to NDP government a few years ago. Along with Manitoba. the traditionally ND‘P province of Saskatchewan also has a much lower rate of unemployment than Ontario. he said. Unemployment Insurance "Snafu" Raises Anger Of Gladys Rolling N D P Leader Lewis Speaker Here She described how the unem- pIOyed person filed a claim for unemployment in the first week of November and from there on received a series of forms to fill out for almost every week of the next nine weeks. HOST 0F FORMS "He got a host of forms mail- ed to him, which he filled out and sent in only to get more fOrms," she said. The person was further frus- trated by visits to the claims Office in Barrie where he â€" and later Mrs. Rolling -â€" was confronted by a wall of “name- less people" who said they would check into it but could do nothing at the time. “I met the same problem. Mrs Rolling said. “when} first tried to assist him." But the mayor of East. Gwil- limbury wasn't to be denied by "nameless" people. She told council she proceed- ed to launch a series of strateg- ical Assaults on the claims of- fice in Barrie. the Department of Manpower Office in New- market “and on any other office I happened to come across." She ended up by placing a call to the manager of the claims branch and to John Rob~ erts MP York Simcoe in Ot- tawa. STIRRED HORNET NEST “This seemed to stir up a homet's nest." she told coun- cillors “and the first thing you knew I was getting apologies and results all over the place. It's just too bad this couldn't have all happened in the begin- ning." Three months of frustration experienced by an East Gwillimbury resident waiting to receive his cheques from the federal government's Unemploy- ment Insurance Commission was related to members of York Regional Council Thursday afternoon of last week. East Gwillimbury Mayor Mrs. Gladys Rolling told c0uncil how she attempted to assist the person involved and had become ensnarled in a “sea of red tape.” Mayor Rolling felt the prob- lem was being aggravated by the system used by the Unem- ployment Insurance Commis- siOn. “They precess all the claims in BarriE." she said. “and then send them on to Bellefille where the cheques are then mailed. This has resulted in a lot of confusion.“ Council approved a resolu- tion by Mayor Rolling to have “In spite of all the Tories' highly touted winter works pro- grams, they haven‘t. made an} appreciable dent. on the un- employment problem at all." he said. the York Region Council petl- tion Ottawa to establish an un- employment commission office in Newmarket "so our people can deal directly and to im- prove the processing of claims."

"I get a good feeling travelling about the province since October that we are buil- ding strength for 1975. The Tories are clearly feeling the intoxication of their position and elitism is already emerg- ing in such things as the tee organization into an authorita~ tive super-Cabinet." he said. The NDP Leader said he sees a Tory elitist emergence where it is likely the Legislature will‘ only be tolerated and indulged. and where the job of opposition for the 19 NDP members will be more difficult. Those presenting reports were as follows: finances Mtg. Lynn Kulesh of Thornhill, or- ganizer Roy Clifton who also reported for Campaign Official Agent Ron Moran of Dickson's Hill, membership Mrs. Clifton. Auditor Angus Philip of Rich- mond Hill. “We‘ve never lacked for pol- icies . . . we‘ve never lacked for alternatives. but now going on is a basic questioning of some accepted matters within the party,” said Lewis. He said one of the main things being reâ€" viewed is the election campaign voter canvas organization. THE RICHMOND HILL Winter Carnival Committee J. Wm. Klees 3; Sons for their delicious hamburgers.
