Talleyrancl Name

Remains in Line

PARIS (Reutersl-The French Court of Appeal Wednesday over- ruled an attempt by a dead French nobleman with a famous name 10 leave his'titles to the illegitimate son of his third wife.

The nobleman was the late Duke of Talleyrand-Perigord, a descend- ant of the 19th-century statesman. Charles Maurice de Tal1eyrand- Perigord, the first duke.

The court upheld the claim of the Duke Eli de Talleyrand. '15- year-old cousin of the late duke. to hold the titles-,Duke of Talley- rand-Perigord. Duke of Valencay and Prince of Sagan.

When the last duke died in 1052. he bequeathed his estates and titles to the illegitimate son of his third wife. the present duchess.

His death came two years after his marriage to Antoinette Morel. He was 78 and she was 39 when they wed. And in marrying her. he became the stepfather of Jean Gustave Morel, her illegitimate son. who was then 21.

The duke had no children by his first two wives.

Morel assumed the titles. but was immediately challenged by the dead dukels cousin. who claimed in a subsequent cour ac- tion that the historic name of Talleyrand could not be held by "just anyone" especially by someone not even related by blood -to the late duke.

The battle lasted for almost three years. The court's decision keeps the title in the line of the first Talleyi-and's blood descend-

ants. But Morel retains his stepfath- or's estates.

In P. E." Island

Figures available at the National Employment Office in Charlotte- town show'that there are fewer people drawing claims at the pres- sent time. than was the 0000 in early January 1054. The drop in numbers is approximately fifty.

The Charlottetown Office has Jurisdiction over only Kings and Queens Counties. and the figures do not include Prince County. The nnnibef of people drawing claims in Charlottetown. is roughly. 000 and claimants from the rural sec- tions of Kings and Queens Coun- ties. total roughly 1100-about 1700 all told. These figures are expect- ed to increase to more than 2000 in

year the peak period was reached in late February-2850 claims. At the end of December last, it was estimated that approximately 0000.- 000 had been paid out by theChar- lottetown Office to benefit claim- ants during the year 1054. More than 36.000 benefit cheques were written to account for this total. It is known that the amountpaid out. 5600.000, is far more than double the amount realized by the sale of Insurance Stamps during the period 1054.

More than half of the amount paid out went to residents of the rural areas of Kings and Queens Counties, and the remainder to residents of Charlottetown. Every community in the two counties

cuts. The Charlottetown Office has no figures relating to Prince Coun- ty. since the western part of the Province is served by the National Employment ,01'fice iin Summerside. It can be said. however. that the total amount of money paid to Islanders from the Unemployment Insurance fund. during 1054. if Prince County is included. must be in the vicinity of one million dol- lars.

Since the end of the war. the Island has drawn more money from the fund than it contributes an- nually. This is easily realized when it is known that the Province not being an industrial area. has more seasonal i-riemployment. than Cen- tral Canadl.

Under the provisions of the Un- employment insurance Act, no money can be paid out from the fund. except lor Unemployment in- surance Benefits. The staffs of' all the National l:mpioyment- Offices in Canada. are not paid out of the fund. but from the consolidated revenues of the Federal Govern- ment. ' . It is known that in this Province practically all of the monies paid to claimants is expended for living expenses such as food.-fuel and rents. For merchants in town. and country. it is L reliable source of cash payments during the winter months. County merchants in par ticular. carry out less charge ac- counts than tarinerly. bocluso

The Local Office hears com- plaints from time to time that the money is ill-spent by some recipi- ents. It is pointed out by Local Onicc officials that this is true of ordinary wages. and depends on the individual. and not on any de- fects in the Unemployment Insur- ance Act. It is also reported from time to time. that some people rc- celvlng benefits continue to work and draw wages as well. It is true, say Local Office officials. that solne attempts of fraud along this line are made. but most of those at- tempted frauds are caught. and those concerned made to refund the money so received.snd in some cases pay a fine as well.

Little publicity has been given to these in udulent attempts. but it is proposed to give more publicity in the future.

Local office officials could not say anything about newspaper stories forecasting major changes in the Unemployment Insurance Act. The omcials would only say that they are aware that changes were about to be made .but. they did not know their nature or ex-

Heavy Year I

stipendiary Magistrate Gilbert A. Gaudet has released the follow- ing figures showing the number of convictions in the Queens Coun- ty Magistrate's Court for the year ending December 31st. 1964. The number of convictions under the Highway Traffic Act showed con- siderable increases over the 1000 figures and are a result of the new highway patrol system intro- duced by the R.C.M.P. in 1954. It is emphasized however. that the purpose behind the Highway Patrol system is to ensure safe driving habits and sale driving rather than obtain convictions in Court and in this connection the use of warning sllpl isused to ma- torists was introduced early in the year and proved very success- ful in that the number of slips isucd was more than twenty for each prosecution which had to be launched in Court:

Total number of conviction: un- d : the Highway Traffic Act for Queens County 1054 - 474. speeding. mostly in the villages and built up areas of Parkdals, Dost Royalty. South-port. west Roy- alty, Winsloe, Pownal etc. - 100.
