"This action should be coupled with a program of stimulative personal tax cuts and incentives for job creation in Canadian small business," said the opposition leader.

He was commenting on the November unemployment statistics issued Tuesday. It is a month now since Prime Minister said he Christmas i turKeys ample supply a By The Canadian Press There will be plenty of turkeys for Christmas dinner this year, the agriculture department says in its monthly food outlook. Supplies of vegetables po tatoes, cabbage, rutabagas, onions and carrots also will be adequate in all regions but Quebec. Among other commodities: beef supplies are adequate and above those a year ago, pork supplies are above those in 1971 and there are more eggs than buyers need and prices may drop somewhat. Chickens are in ample supply and supplies of apples and pears are adequate in most areas, but there will be fewer apples in the Maritimes.

be the number of spoiiled ballots would justify an official recount. Mayor-elect Glenn Crain said was happy to be the apparent victor, but would have preferred more clear-cut majority. Such a small majority makes me feel uncertain as to whether. I really won or not." Mr. Crain.

Mrs'. C. B. Church, who is holidaying in Spain, topped the polls with 1,569 'votes to become the third woman in Perth's 155-year history to sit council. Allan McLean placed second the council with 1,118 votes.

Pearson is being treated for a recurrence of the tumor that caused him the loss of an eye two years ago, but his condition improving, a spokesman for former crime minister said Monday. Mr. Pearson has been under going treatment at norne tne last two weeks. His wife Maryon said during the weekend that fatigue and over-exertion contributed to his illness.

Mr. Pearson recently com pleted a tour to publicize the first volume of his memoirs. His doctor has advised him to curtail his activities and as a consequence he will likely re sign from bis position as lec turer at Carleton University here, Mrs. Pearson said. had learned some lessons from the election results, Mr.

Stan field said. "All he has done since that time is tried to pass off public relations for policy," he declared. The statistics showed there were 524,000 unemployed per sons in November compared with 483,000 in October. The unadjusted unemployment rate, representing actual num ber of unemployed as a per cent of the labor force, was 5.9,. hr November, up from 5.4 in October.

The seasonally adjusted rate of unemployment at 6.6 per cent is the same as it was one year ago, Mr, Stanfield noted It remains higher than the 6.4 per cent registered in No vember, 1970. "Meanwhile the actual num' ber of unemployed Canadians is 21,000 higher than at this time last year. This number is on the rise' 'again as we enter anothef winter season. 'The lack of preparation exhibited by the- government- is inexcusable. These facts are a reminder both of the tremendous and continuing costs in human terms' and of the economic costs to the Canadian taxpayer 6f 'a government that has demonstrated it neither knows how to fight unemployment, nor how to estimate the cost to Canadians of its failure to do so," said Mr.

Low income project for Vanier The Central Mortgage and Housing Corporation has approved a $162,000 loan to the Ontario Housing Corporation to help finarice a 15-unit, three-storey low-income housing development in Vanier. The loan is provided under the National Housing Act for a term of 50 years and represents 90 per cent of the cost of construction. The remaining 10 per cent is provided by the province through OHC.

In addition to the loan, CMHC provides up to 50 per cent of operating losses of the project, estimated in this case to be close to 510,000 annually. The remainder is picked up by the province and the municipality. Rent will be set on a rent-to-income basis with the- average for a three-bedroom unit anticipated at $92 monthly. The project will be located on the northern border of Vanier on Garneau Street near Beech-wood' Avenue. of persons occupying one dwell- ing" which is perfectly clear.

Three weeks ago, the Queens- wood Village community association fired off a telegram to pro-vincial Treasurer Charles McNaughton asking that the council be suspended and that an inquiry be launched into al leged financial irregularities in the township. An investigation- by a repre sentative of the treasurer's of-' fice found the charges were without substance and council was completely cleared of the charges. Retiring reeve Wilfred Murray claimed the entire episode had been merely manoeuvreings" on the part of the community association.

Four residents of the Queens- wood -area ran for council and three made it Monday. Of the four, only Ron Peddler, a former councillor, failed to make it. Frank Dupont, Arthur Jack son, and Patricia Wright were all elected to council with healthy margins. Claude Lepage was the only Election? What election Voter apathy may have slumped to an all-time low in Ottawa Monday. Only 32 per cent of the electorate turned out and individual poll figures told an even bleaker In the polling station at Rock-cliffe Air Base where about 300 eligible voters were on the list, only two showed up to castl ballots.

In several others, only seven out of about 250 eligible voters took time to make their municipal election choices. And, in Gloucester Ward when one voter and his wife arrived at the poll at 7 p.m., with just one hour to closing time, they learned they first to mark their ballots since the polls opened at 11 a.m. However the Liberal government, which won all-three seats in the last general election, still holds a solid majority in the 32-seat house. The byelections left standings at 25 Liberals and seven Conservatives. Dr.

Dewar, whose party was swamped 27-to-5 by the Liberals in 1970, said the byelections in dicated the people had reserva tions about some of the policies enacted by federal and provincial Liberal governments.
