By Bertha MacGregor
HENSALL- The Three Links Seniors Club
met on June 11 with a large attendance.
Hilda Payne called on the Zone 8
President Irene Davis to read a letter she
had prepared to send to Prime Minister
Brian Mulroney. The letter, written on
behalf of seniors in Zone 8, protests the de -
indexing off senior citizen pensions. Mrs.
Davis said that by making this change, Mr.
Mulroney had broken one of his main
election promises.

realizes it is necessary to reduce the
national debt, there are other ways to do
this.

pensions was certainly not the right way,

in their salaries.
