PAGE 8 TERRACE BAY NEWS OCTOBER 12, 1972 How Much Do We Care? - cont'd from page 7 Governments represent people and the money they use is ours, and the wishes they express are ours too. So if we want governments to do something more about this monstrous inequality we must do something about it ourselves. Something practical. Like help- ing UNICEF or the other development agencies and by voicing concerns to our local M.P.s. Funds collected and effectively used in overseas develop- ment will have immediate and long term effect on developing countries. A nickel for a smallpox shot could save a life; a small grant to train a teacher or a nurse has an incalculable long term benefit. But helping others practically, like this provides more than just the immediate effect. It shows you care, and if governments know that you care, they'll care too. So if you really want to help children in the deve- loping countries, try helping UNICEF; by giving generously at Hallowe'en, through buying greeting uction of socially Lentandabids alia i rene 4 We have renegotiated with our magazine supplier | and will again be servicing the community.

WORKMEN'S COMPENSATION IN ONTARIO Just over 58 years ago, in May of 1914, Ontario lawmakers passed legislation which became effective on January Ist, 1915, embodying an approach based on an entirely new set of principles in providing the province's workers with protection against often disastrous results of being injured in the course of their work. Prior to that time, the victim of a job injury was in large measure dependent on the benevolence of his employer. Whether the company would cover the cost of medical treatment and continue some level of income during convalescence, and for how long, was a unilateral, management decision. The injured worker could, of course, in instances where management declined any form of assistance, resort to the courts. Such actions, however, involved fixing liability for the accident on the company. Doing so was often a drawn out, costly process for both workman and employer - with the latter obviously in a much better position to use the court appeal system to advantage.
