FAREWELL TOTHE 'FEN
For the ten cent stamp a
farewell ha,
Your life was short - it
didn't stick
On ` anenvelope long.
That's inflation.
Now the twelve•is here -
that's damnation!
However please don't damn
your local post. office staff,
"Theirs not to reason •why".
.But . somewhere in the
hallowed halls of parliament
whoever sets the Post Office
Department budget, this
time, must have believed in
the old adage of putting ,in
"your two cents worth". Yes,
yours and mine!
Perhaps some of our
readers will recall an article
in the News -Record last
August relating to the visit of
MissElizabeth Willmot to
Clinton at that time. Miss
Willmot is the authoress of
the very interesting book,
"Meet Me At The Station", in
which our own Clinton Station
is one of those depicted and
discussed.
It will be of further interest
'to those who have read the
book - that the authoress
hopes to be here in person
sometime in April. Miss
Willmot will be the guest of
Mrs. Fred Sloman, Matilda
Street and she has kindly
offered to autograph any of
the editions.
Another lady who has a
great affinity for trains and
stations is Mrs. Greta

Sunday night's topic "Are

Christian concern.

1977. Within the total 'budget, watershed dating back to
$417,100 has been earmarked 1834, indicate that floods have
for. water and related land occurred with varying
management projects in degrees of severity during
Listowel, Turnberry . and almost every month: --.(4 the
Howick Townships, and along year.
the area of the Lake Huron
shoreline managed by the
Authority.
Mapping of hazard lands
between urban centres in the
watershed will also be
.completed in 1977.
This year's budget
represents a 38.5 percent
increase over that of 1976.
The good news for member
municipalities i's, however,
that levies will not increase
proportionally, but will be
less than 10 percent greater
than those of _last year.
Provincial grants to ac-
complish conservation
projects can be claimedby
the Authority to make up the
difference of the increase.
At the same meeting, Lorne
Murray of Moorefield and
Vince Judge of Listowel were
returned to their offices of
Chairman and Vice -
Chairman. of the Authority.
Allan Ross of I-farriston was
acclaimed to the position of
Conservation Areas Advisory
Board Chairman, and Garnet
Wright of Londesboro was
elected Chairman of the
Public Relations Advisory
Board.
Temperature, soil
conditions, duration of
freezing periods, direction
and velocity of wind, rain and
snow cover are all related to
•the creation or 'prevention of
floods.
A report is currently. being
compiled by the Authority, to
outline a system of com-
munications, and to sum-
marize a listing of emergency
contacts. All member
municipalities have been
requested to complete a
questionnaire that outlines
flood prone areas, list ad-
dresses and phone numbers
of municipal officials who
could act as contact persons,
and detail inventories of
municipal and privately
owned equipment that could
be used in combating flood
conditions.
The prevention of disaster
could depend on how ;quickly
people are informed of flood
peaks, and how well prepared
they are to mobilize against
danger. The Flood . Warning
report is the first step in ti"l"e
Maitland Authority's Flood
Warning System.

and Jim Beecroft of Bel rave

,pensioners mush re -apply
before March 31 deadline
Health and Welfare
Minister Marc Lalonde has
reminded' the more than one
million Old Age Security
pensioners, who receive
Guaranteed Income Sup-
plement benefits, of the
March 31 renewal deadline. If
pensioners fail to re -apply by
then, their benefits may be
interrupted.
Application for the'federal
government's Guaranteed
Income Supplement, paid to
pensioners with limited in -
comes, must be made each
year.
The Department of
National Health .and Welfare
sent application kits (con-
taining informative booklets
and application forms) to all
Supplement recipients in late
December or early January.
Two reminders will also be
sent before'. the, March., 31
deadline. ,• •
As a further way of en-
suring that pensioners con-
tinue, •to receive their Sup-
plement regularly, the
department will operate 76
satellite offices in small
towns across the country
between now and March 31.
The dates, hours of -operation
and locations of these offices
will be announced locally.
Pensioners can receive
assistance with their Sup-
plement applications at these
satellite offices as well as at
the 10 regional o,'fices in the
_provincial capitals and at the
four district offices (Mon-
treal, Ottawa, Calgary and
Vancouver).
During the 1975-76 fiscal
year, pensioners received
$923 million in supplementary
benefits. This was almost
one-quarter :of the total, $3.9
billion paid to Old Age
Security pensioners during
that period.
Each month more than half
of the two million 014 Age
Security pensioners receive
some additional payment
through the Guaranteed
Income Supplement
program.'
The amount of Supplement
paid depends on a pensioner's
income. For example, a
single pensioner, receivi
the basic pension of $141.3
month, would also receive th
maximum Supplement of
$99.13 a month if his yearly
income, `including the Old 0
Age Security pension, was
less than $1,720. A married _ ..
couple, both pensioners and
receiving the maximum
Supplement, would be paid a
total) of $458.74 a month in
pension and Supplement if
their combined yearly in-
come, including the O.4kS
pension, was less than $3,440.
The Supplement is reduced*
gradually ' by other income
until it reaches zero with a
total yearly income, inclusive
of , the Old Age Security
pension, of $4,096 for a single
pensioner and $7,664 for a
married couple where both
are pensioners.
