Gus Boussey, Clinton P Early Silas Three Year Old Found In Pool, Climbs In, Out - Reeve Melvin Crich has reported a peculiar experience at the Clinton Com- munity Swimming Pool a week ago Monday. He had gone to the pool to mend some of the boards in the ticket booth at the entrance. As he worked he became aware of a youngster crying softly. Searching around he found a three-year- old boy in the swimming pool. There was no opening in the six-foot high fence which sur- rounds the pool that the youngster might have managed to get through. The only deduction Mr. Crich could make was that he had climbed over the fence. Since Mr. Crich had no key to the pool gate, the climbing method seemed best to get the little lad out again. So with Mr. Crich encouraging him from outside the fence, the boy climbed wires at the top, andnd the reeve dhim li ted over the jagged him down. 50 years ago December 10, 1936 Generous Hospital Donation - The Hospital Board acknowledges with sincere appreciation the receipt of a Remembrance Gift of $200 by Mrs. Tillie M.

Of Interest To You And Me - It would ap- pear that we have not yet reached the peak, or should we say the lowest level, of the depression. We gather this from the fact that the deposits in the Penny Bank are steadily decreasing. In October last the amount on deposit in Clinton was $1,052.56, against $1,260.49 a year ago. It would be in- teresting to know just what the money withdrawn during the year was used for. Goose Working Some Overtime - A.

A PENSION PLAN is changing for the better On January 1, 1987, your Canada Pension Plan will change. These changes put your Plan on a solid, long-term financial foundation. It's important to know what benefits are available because your Plan provides you andlor your fam- ily with a basic level of earnings protection when you retire, become disabled, or die. You will, however, have to apply for the benefits when you believe you are eligible. The information that fbllows highlights the major improvements. It's good news! P financing a better tomorrow New financing arrangements will make and keep your Plan more secure than ever. Right now you and your employer each contribute 1.8% of your earnings up to a maximum amount. Each year until 1991, the contribution rate will rise by 0.2% and from there until 2011 by 0.15%. If you make the maximum contribution, you will pay about $26 more in 1987. A wider choice offtretirement options After January 1st, you can begin receiving your CPP pension as early as age 60. You could qualify even if you are not fully retired. If you begin your pension before age 65, your benefits will be less because you will have contributed less and will get the bene- fits for a longer period of time. Or, if you choose not to start your pen- sion until after age 65, (up to age 70), your monthly benefits will be greater. Your pension would normally be pay- able the month after your 65th birthday. For each month between that date and when your pension begins, your benefit will be adjusted by o.5%. This adjustment will apply for as long as you receive the benefit. ®®® I'd like to know more about my new Canada Pension Plan.

For example, the maximum disability pension in 1987 will increase from $487 to more than $635 per month. As well, anyone entering or returning to the work force will have disability coverage after contributing in 2 of the last 3 years, in which contributions could have been made. Survivor benefits continue on 1emarriage If you receive survivor benefits, they will now continue even if you remarry. if you remarried and had your survivor benefit discontinued, you can have your benefit reinstated. pitting pension credits If your marriage ends in divorce, each spouse will be entitled to one half the "pension credits” you earned together. After January 1, 1987, the credits can also be divided if your marriage or com- mon-law relationship ends in separation. Sharing your pension When you and your spouse receive your CPP retirement pensions, the benefits you've both earned during your life together can be shared if either of you makes this request. Additional benefits for deendent children n the past, dependent children were lim- ited to one flat -rate benefit, even if both par- ents had paid into the Plan and died or became disabled. Should the same happen now, your children would be entitled to double bene- fits. Improved `Combined' benefits If you are entitled to a com- bination of survivor and disability benefits, the maximum monthly amount you could receive will now be greater. As for combined survivor and retire ment benefits, these will now be more gen- erously awarded to those who qualify. Building on a solid foundation Being financially prepared for the future is a responsibility we all share. Your new Canada Pension Plan now gives you a stronger foundation. It's a sound base, and it's up to you 10 build on this foundation. It's never too soon, or too late, to begin building for your future. We hope you'll start today.
