FROM THE STAFF' OF THE COUNTRY MARKET VANASTRA PAGE $1,--CLINTON NEWS RECORD TUESDAY, DECEMBER 24, 1974 Use egg's versatility during Christmas season Eggs, which Symbolize fer- tility and new life appropriately play an important part in Christmas cooking, Without eggs, how,could you ever begin to prepare your favorite treats from beverages to baked goods? Whether you use eggs in desserts, main dishes, ap- petizers or snacks, the family diet is enriched with an economical high quality protein food. Eggs are also a good source of iron, phosphorus and vitamin A. Treat this nutritious food with respect. As soon as eggs have been purchased, store them in the refrigerator large end up. Copk eggs over low or moderate heat. High heat makes them tough and leathery. If you are using a recipe that calls for only egg white or egg yolks, refrigerate the leftovers in tightly covered containers. Add a little water to the yolks. Use the whites within a week, and the yolks, within two or three days. Yolks may be added to eggnogs, sauces, sugar frostings, cream fillings and casseroles. In many recipes, two egg yolks may replace one whole egg. Add glamor to eggnogs by folding in beaten egg whites before serving and to holiday breads by brushing the crust with egg whites before baking. Egg whites make popular meringues such as the "Fruit and Nut Meringues". Food Advisory Services, Agriculture Canada suggest serving "Eggnog Parfait Pie" during the festive season.

PECK 482-3851 Here's good news... for CPP contributors-their surviving spouses and dependent children Recent changes to the Canada Pension Plan will result in substantially increased benefits for 1975 and subsequent years. There are other important changes, too. Some affect people over 65 or approaching that age. Others provide equality for the spouses and dependent children of male and female contributors. These changes may require prompt action or getting advice. So we suggest you read this message very carefully. Other Changes: The earnings ceiling—that is, the maximum amount on which Contributions can be paid and on Which benefits can be calculated—is being raised to $7400 in 1975 and to $8300 in 1976, The initial amount of earnings, on which you are not required to contribute, will be $700 in 1975, MAXIMUM MONTHLY CPP BENEFITS Effective January 1975 Retirement Pension, — „ „ „ ....... $122,50 Disability Pension, . ............ „ „ $130,35 Surviving Spouse's Pension—under 65 $ 88.31 over 65 $ 81.67 Orphan's Benefit $87,27 Disabled Contributor's Child's Benefit $ 87,27 Death Benefit (Lump Sum) $740.00 14F Health Sante et and Welfare Bien-etre social Canada Canada Marc Lalonde, Minister Per assistance contact: Your nearest Canada Pension Plan office Your Canada Pension Plan ...keeping up with changing times 1 Retirement Pensions Have you contributed to the Plan • at any time since January 1,1966?

If you have made your choice and want your CPP retirement pension to commence as early as possible, you should apply two or three months before your 65th birthday. NOTE: There is no provision for retroactive payment of retirement pensions between the ages of 65 and 69. So if you're in that age group or approaching it, get advice as soon as possible. Do you now receive a CPP retirement pension? As of January 1st, 1975, your pension will no longer be affected by any money you earn thereafter. Equal Protection • for Males and Females. This means that for female contributors, in addition to being eligible for a retirement pension and disability protection for themselves, and a death benefit payable to their estates, as has been the case in the past, their spouses and dependent children are now eligible for benefits as follows: Benefits for Surviving Spouses A monthly pension payable to the widower who at the time of the death of the contributor is over 35 years of age, or under 35 years of age but is disabled or has dependent children; ,that is, a benefit similar to that which has always existed for widows. Benefits for Orphans A monthly benefit payable to unmarried dependent children under 18 and to unmarried dependent children between 18 and 25 attending school or university on a full-time basis. In order for survivors to qualify, the contributor must have died in January 1968 or later and must have contributed for the minimum contributory period, which is three years for deaths occurring before January 1,1975. Benefits for Children of Disabled Contributors A monthly benefit payable to unmarried dependent children under 18 and to unmarried dependent children between 18 and 25 attending school or university on a full-time basis, where the contributor concerned is in receipt of a CPP Disability Pension, NOTE: In all cases, it is necessary to make application for benefits, If such applications are approved, payments can only be made currently—that is, from January 1, 1975. No piyment can be Made for any period prior to that date.
