Due to the overwhelming suc- cess they had in the compe- tition among 40 bands at the g C a n a d- i a 11 Entertainment ! Concert. M and M have been booked solidly on a nation ‘ wide tour. They hate played 'at all the major universities across Canada and undoub- tedly will eventually hit the TU.S. market with the same 3impact they have achieved ’here. After they finish play- ing at the El Mocambo this week (March 25-30) they will be heading out to Vancouver n 1971 our federal govern- ment completely revised the system of unemployment in- surance, providing benefits more directly related to in- come, s’hortened waiting periods and added 1.2 million employees as UIC contribu- tors. In January, 1971, the maximum weekly benefit under the Unemploment In- surance Act was raised from $42. to $46. and in August of that year it was raised again to $100. Now -the maxi- mum 'benefit is $113. ‘per week. As a result, total Ibe- nefit payments have jumped from we billion in 1970 to $2.1 billion in 1973. yet unemployment has remained relatively static in the period. British Columbia Econo- mist Herbert Grubel states This lavish Canadian pro- gram resulted in the average Canadian recipient receiving $2,328 in the fiscal year 1973 while his US. counterpart was paid' $768, about one third the amount - notwith- standing that America’s wag- es are about 20% higher than Canadian. The aVerage amount paid per week in both countries after taxation is similar ‘but the Americans app-ear to get their claimants back »to work faster than in Canada. In the USA. the typical unemploy- ment insurance recipient re- ceiev pawments for only 14 weeks while in Canada it was 37 weeks. Two long-haired men, be- lieved to be between 20 and 21, are the subject of a search by York Regional Police, following an armed robbery in Mac’s Milk Store, 454 Markham Road, in Rich- mond Hill, January 13. He was given a bank de- posit bag, containing $500 to $600, and then :he fled to .a waiting car, where another man is to have said: “Come From The Police Blotter Armed Robbery At Milk Store 'Peter Kern, a part-time employee at the store, told police he was closing up at 11 pm when a man came in- and told him he wanted some cigaremes. When told the store was closed, he produced a knife and de- manded some money. Payments from our unem- ployment in s u r a n c e fund have been out of control for two years. They now repre- sent more than 10% of our total national budget. Simi- lar disbursements in the U.S.A. are less than 2% of their federal budget. MacLean and; MacLean have got ‘to be one of the wittiest comedy teams to ever come along in Canadian entertainment. What makes them unique is that although they are comedians, they are also musicians. While Gary plays the banjo and occasio- nally the congos, Blair plays the 12-string quitar. This combination of 'talent enables the brothers, Gary and Blair MacLean, the flexibility des- perately needed and so often lacking in comedy teams today. Unemployment in Canada is only 11% of the American figure, yet in 1973 our UIC payments totalled 50% of the aggregate amount paid in the US Our claimants received $2.1 billion in that year while the American reci- pients were paid $4.1 billion. In 1970 the ratios in the two countries were comparable. MacLean and M‘acLean are originally .from Glace Bay, a mining town in Nova Scotia. But for the past nine years they have been living in Winnipeg. It was there that they started out as a folk act and later became involved in a five man rock band. Don McDougall originally was with this band but left in 1971 to become a member of the Guess Who. M and M also worked with Burt Cummings, the lead singer of Guess Who. Even now when they are in Winnipeg they occa- sionally work with Cum- mings. In fact a comedy al- bum featuring M and M and Cummings is presenty in the planning stage for produc- tion this year. ROCK TALK Billy, let‘s get out of SINCLAIR STEVENS MP YORK SIMCOE Unemployment Insurance Payments Out Of Control By PAUL JONES MacLean And MacLean SINCLAIR STEVENS REPORTS It is to be hoped that in the coming session of Parlia- ment, the Trudeau Govern- ment will rectify the mis- takes and restore the system to its original concept; the providing of insurance bene- fits for those genuinely out of work for the ‘period they actually cannot find alterna- tive employment A third man was also in the car and the trio drove off southerly on Bayvi-ew Avenue. Police said the first man see-med high on drugs or liquor. He was described as five feet. ndne, medium build, and was wearing‘ a green plaid jacket and blue jeaps. The second man was de- scribed as six feet, slim, blonde, wavy hair. clean shaven, wearing horned-rim- med glasses. There was no description of ‘his clothing, There was no description of the third man. The car was a 1968 Chevro- let, two-door hardtop, white on red or maroon. It is little wonder that Ca- nadians ask, “When will the government stop the unem- ployment insurance fund ripoffs“? The 1971 amend- ments to the Unemployment Insurance Act were experi- mental. They have cost the nation heavily, Not only have total benefit payments guad- rupled but employment in the Unemployment Insurance Commission has doubled in two years from 6,000 to 12,000 civil servants. Unemployment insurance, a good thing in itself, is being so blackened through lax legislation and maladmi- nistration that it may lose credibility as a necessary part of Canada‘s social legis- lation. here MacLean and MacLean will only be playing for three more days (March 28-30) in Toronto before they leave for Vancouver. So, if you have the chance you should definitely go out and see them. They are at the E1 M0- cambo, on Spadina at Col- lege, until March 30. . Expressed another way that means some 200,000 people were classed as unem- ployed and drew UIC bene- fits in that year, yet they could likel have found work if they had so inclened. If this is true, the nation los-t doubly. We lost the produc- tive capability of 200,000 workers who became a drain on the economy to the ex- tent of some $700. million in unwarranted UIC payments. the new unemployment: insu- rance plan contributes to un- employment itself. Reviewing 1972, he suggests that two percentage puints of the of- ficial 6.3% unemployment rate was due to the existence of our liberal insurance scheme. Manpower Minister, Robert Andras, appears to concede that there was indeed a rip- off. “We’re in a hell of a lot better shape now”, he states. But are we? Already the go- vernment admits that fiscal year 1974 will have still. higher UIC payouts. To give you any further in- formation about the acts of MacLean and MacLean would only take away from the (ef- fect. of the) element of sa- tirical surprise, that they use on their. by now side-split- ting. audience. I suppose an- other way of partially des- cribing M and M is to say, that listening to M and M is like listening to a version of “Alice’s Restaurant" which is several times as funny as the original version. is also done incredibly well in the song, Honey, by Bobby Goldsboro. In their version‘ of Twelve Days Of Christmas ; they not only take a sarcastic : view of Christmas, but alsoi a satirical view of drugs and{ Cheech and Chang. After every few songs, ‘M and M weave in small bits of hu-; morous monologue dealing‘ with such subjects as sports,‘ drugs and sex. ! The musical style of Mac- Lean and MacLean is similar to that of the Smothers Bro- thers and Homer and JeDhro, while their comedy mono- logues, though thoroughly original, resemble the wit of George Carlin. One could also say that they are sort of a mild folk version of the Mothers Of Invention. One of the stunts of M and M is to do a take-off on the ‘lyrics of certain p o p u 1 a r songs. In their version of Daniel Boone, the lyrics are completely changed to give it huzmourous and satirical overtones. This slampooning and then back to Calgary Another knife wielder was ‘to the Vaughan station to ‘catch up on some outstand- ing warren-ts against him, !wenvt on a rampage. 1‘ After paying the fines, I police said the man smas‘hed ,a plate glass window with j his fist on leaving. 20~inch color TV set, valued at $588, in a break-in at his home, March 14; McGuinness Farms. 16th Sideroad, King Towns’hip, a $560 Gpassier saddle was taken from a tack room, sometime be- tween March 5 and 13. leSS successful when he visit- ed Harvey's Drive-Inn, Yonge Street South, Richmond Hill. March 15. Pohce said the man en- tered the restaurant by the back door and picked up a butcher knife, which he im- mediately held to the stomach of Frank Lecce, who was working ‘in the back. He then t-ried to get the olzher three employees of the store into the same room, but they refused. Police said he went after them and kicked one of the employees, Joseph Pinlheiro. He then fled flrom the restaurant and was picked up shortly afterwards -on Yonge Street, with the knife on the back seat of his car. Facing charges of flhe‘ft under mischief, possession of a dangerous weapon and assault occasioning bodily harm, is Douglas Higgins, 23. of 112 Yonge Street North, Ric'hmond Hill. Vaughan also had its share of violent criminal activity. At The Honey Pot Tavern and Ski Valley, Dufferin Street, Maple, a safe was battered with a sledge- hammer sometime during the night of March 11, but the thieves failed to open it. Bell Canada Construction informed police that four standing telephone poles had been taken from a location at Highway 7 and Concession 3, between March 14 and 15. Value of the poles is $209. Other area thefts: Dr. James McPhee, 62 Hunt Avenue, Richmond Hill, ‘a The man told: police he received an obscene call but the message was given to him through his a 11 SW e ri n g service. Police Constable Douglas Sheldrake discovered the break-in while making his rounds at 4.40 am. He then radioed for assistance and was joined by Constable Ron McCulloch. Someone with an extra large fireplace is probably the suspect in a Mark'ham robbery. After viewing the damaged safe, the two officers made an extensive search of the premises, but failed to find anyone. A Thornhill man ran into a new twist in nurtty phone calls. It was not known how much damage was done. The evening of March 16, a man who had been brought Brian McDenmott, 18, of Downsview, faces charges. of public mischief.‘ A point by point primer on how to lose your driver’s licence. It’s actually quite simple. All you do is accumulate fifteen demerit points and lose your licence for thirty days. Do it again and lose your licence for six months. In this province, it definitely pays adriver to score a big fat zero. Ontario's demerit point system is designed to convince the poor driver to drive properly. Drivers who do not improve are then taken from the road because they’re a menace to pedestrians and to other drivers. But the system is not at all unjust. It's aimed at telling the driver where he's gone wrong and giving him plenty of time to corâ€" rect his faults. For instance. When you've accumulated six points, you’ll be notified and urged to improve your driving. When you’ve got nine, you'll prob- ably be asked to attend a private interview and re-do your driving test. At fifteen points, you'll lose your licence for thirty days and drop back to seven points. Get fifteen again and you won't drive for six months, However. your record won't be Direct line to classified advertising LIBERAL WANT ADS WORK ! 884-1105 O Dad’s basement workshop or darkroom is loaded with items much in demand.
