-Tips on how to
travel -safely
The Canada. Safety Council has
some advice for people travelling
to visit friends or relatives over
the holidays, or at any other time
during the winter.
Out-of-toWn trips, particularly
on roads that are not well
travelled, need not only special
driving attention, but, the Council
says. "Drivers should- let people
know what time they are leaving,
when they expect to arrive, and
especially, the route they are
taking."
Phil Farmer, Executive
Director of the Council says "In
that way, if trouble is encoun-
tered, at least there is someone
who can notify police or come and
look for you."
If a car does get stuck on a
little-travelled road--such as in a
blizzard, there are some things
one can do to survive: Stay in the
car, (unless habitation is visible
nearby); check tailpipe to ensure
it is not blocked by snow or ice;
fast idle the engine up to ten
minutes per hour to conserve
gasoline; keep a window open a
fraction; use a candle for Warmth.

Family
Allowances
increase in
1978
The federal govern-
ment's monthly allowance
paid for children under 18
years of age will be
increased in January of
1978, Health and Welfare
• Minister Monique Begin
announced.
According to the an-
nouncement Family Allow-
ances will rise to $25.68
from $23.89 in most
provinces and in the territ-
ories.
The amount and method
of payment of Family
Allowances varies in
Quebec and Alberta.
Under a provision in the
Family Allowances Act, a
provincial government may
ask the federal government
to vary the rates payable in
that province according to
the age or number of
children in a family, or
both, providing the pay.,
ments average $25.68.
Quebec and Alberta have
again chosen this option.
Special Allowances,
which are paid to foster
parents, welfare agencies,
government departments
and institutions maintain-
ing children, will also
increase to $25.68 from
$23.89.
Each month during 1977
the federal government
paid out more than $173
million in Family Allow-
ances to 3.6 million fam-
ilies. The cheques covered
7.2 million children. The
national average allowance
for each recipient . family
was about $49.
