Sept. 19, 1984 Pensions and securities discussed at Institute BELMORE — At the Sep- tember meeting of the Women's Institute, the guest speaker was Kenneth Potts of the Income Security Programs of Ontario. The agency has offices in Goderich and Walkerton. These programs included the Canada Pension Plan, the old -age pension and family allowances. Under the Canada Pension, Mr. Potts stated there is a disability plan available and monthly payments can be received if the contributor has paid into the plan for seven years and five of these in the past 10 years. If there are dependent children involved, there also is a child benefit. At age 65, the disability pension changes , to the old -age pension and there also are survivor benefits for the spouse of a contributor. In common-law rela- tionships, there must be proof that the couple lived together for three years. Another interesting fact is that divorced people receive one half of their spouse's benefits. /Under the old -age pension, there are international agreements with six coun- tries where the 10 -year residency in Canada is not necessary for payments to be made. More information can be obtained at the local offices. The men and women present at the meeting found Mr. Potts' talk very in- teresting and informative: In the business portion of the meeting, it was decided to enter a display of an old- fashioned room at the Teeswater Fall Fair. Anyone wishing to contribute ar- ticles may contact Mrs. Ken Dickson, Mrs. Eileen Johann or Mrs. Tom Inglis. There was a work bee to print up the recipes for the new cook book. Mrs. Doris Hays reported • that seven new Institute branches have been formed in the past three years, according to the district annual at Tiverton.

The district president, Mrs. William McPherson of Holyrood was present and presented a booklet con- taining all programs for the district for the year and suggested that all branches make up their programs in a similar fashion.

Two scripture passages relating the deaths of Sam- son and Stephen were used. A question and answer period revealed that Sam- son's strength was physical while Stephen's was spiritual. Iron, steel, wood and glass have varying degrees of strength. Iron may be broken by being dropped to the ground, while steel would remain intact; likewise glass, the weakest of the four substances, could remain unbroken under stressful conditions. Teenagers, like the above- mentioned materials, are under various forms of pressure: parental, educa- tional instructors; peers; the temptation of drugs,. smok-, ing or sex. Group support may be helpful in maintaining "good", but individual inde- pendance must be acknowl- edged; know when to resist group influence and when to follow the crowd.
