MONTREAL (CP) —
Last month, Harold
Ballard, blustery owner
of Toronto Maple Leafs,
sald he was upset that
John Ziegler, president of
the National Hockey
League, was in the Soviet
Union: and Czech-
oslovakia negotiating an
international hockey
series.

Ballard indicated at the
time that he was not
interested in having any
of the international

mes at Maple Leaf
’ Gardens, but when the 13-

fame series is aflaved
. 26-Jan.-8, Ballard’s
Leafs will be involved.

The NHL announced
Tuesday that Spartak, a
first-division team from
the Soviet Union, will be
part of the series along
with two first-division
sides from
Czechoslovakia—Pardu-
bice and Kladno.

scene there, although at

. that point I still wasn't

really into the country
thing,” she said, “It was
in Nashville that I finally
learned to relax.”

Two or three years ago,
Anne Murray chose one
of her songs, Carolina
Sun, for inclusion in an
album and things began
to look up.

“It's always a
compliment to
someone. record
something you've written
and at that time attention
to my songs was the
break I needed,’’ she
said.

AD-LIBS DIFFICULT

Modesty remains a
striking component of
Miss Peterson's per-
sonality, even on slage,
where she still has dif-
ficulty with the patter
between songs. It almost
‘interrupts’? her ‘con-
fidence.

“You're just hopin
that the band an
yourself are working
together and. really it’s
the playing that'is'the test °
of ‘the’ tightness” of the
organization.”

Backed by a new band
Short Change, she passed
the test to the satisfaction
of Toronto critics and
audiences at the Horshoe
Tavern, where she fea-
tured songs from an
album she recorded in
California last summer.

A song that won par-
ticular favor was
Delaney, which took her
three years to write.

“For the longest time,
all I had was this chorus,
until one night on a tour of
Western Canada where
the Indian problem was
so sadiy evident, the
words just came and
there I was three in the
morning, scribbling
madly.” ;

' New legislation has changed some of the
ground niles of our UI program. |

:, Parliament has decided that people who live
in areas of high unemployment will be given
certain advantages over those who live where jobs

‘are more plentiful.

Which means that, as of December 4, you'll
need more insurable work weeks to qualify for
Unemployment Insurance benefits.

“10 to 14 weeks, depending
on where you live, right?”

- Raght again.

In regions of low unemployment, claimants
will need up to 14 weeks of insurable employment
to get UL benefits. This will only happen in
places where it’s easier to get and keep a job.

. ° Inregions of high unemployment, claimants
will need as little as 10 weeks to qualify.

But until December 4, the entrance
requirement remains ateight weeks wherever you

live,

“How about the two week

waiting period?”

No change. The basic two week waiting
period remains the same everywhere.

And so do the rules on the waiting period
when a claimant has left his or her job for no
good reason or been fired for misconduct.

n such cases, a claimant may have to wait up
to eight weeks from when employment ends

until benefits start. .. -

Officer Leroy Pat-

Tuesday, went in for a
cup of coffee and came
back out just as Afanador
was riding off.

“T couldn't believe my

called to the horse by
name, and it stopped.

“J used a tone that
would have scared the
horse to death,” Pat-
terson said. Then I ran
up and snatched the guy
off the horse.”

“Has the amount of the
benefits changed?”

Absolutely not. The UI benefit rate
stays at two-thirds of your average weekly

insurable earnings.

The maximum is $147, less tax,

“Anything
I should know?”

The maximum time for which anyone
may receive benefits has changed slightly. -
The old maximum was 51 weeks, Now it’s

50 weeks,

But since September 11, the total
number of. weeks for which a claimant qualifies
has more closely reflected the unemployment
rate in his or her region.

Right now, we measure unemployment by
dividing Canada into 16 economic regions. Later,
in 1978, we will fine-tune the program to 54
regions so that U1 will be even more closely
‘related to the local labour market conditions.
Also, there's maternity, sickness and age 65
benefits.
Previously, sickness bencfits were only
payable during the first 39 weeks of the claim.
Now they are payable at any time during the
entire benefit period.
Maternity benefits of 15 weeks and the
special one-time benefit (equal to three weeks’
benefits) at age 65 remains the same.
The same people still pay for the program in --
the same proportions, and the types of
employment insurable for UT remain the same,
