LIVING COST INCREASED OSHAWA, Ont. An increased cost - of - living allowance for the third quarter of 1973 will be received by more than 28,500 hourly and salaried people at General Motors of Canada Limited, the company announ- ced recently. It is the sixth adjustment in the cost - of - living allowance that GM employees have received since March, 1972. The average of the Consumer Price Indexes, published by Statistics Canada in April, May and June, 1973 is 147.1, compared with 144.4 published in January, Feb- ruary and March, 1973. The change in the average of these indexes is high enough to change the cost - of - living allowance for the next quarter. The cost - of - living allowance will be increased by seven cents an hour for GM's more than 22,000 hourly employees, effective for the pay period beginning June 18, 1973, and continuing for the next three months. This will mean that hourly rated employees will be receiving a total cost - of - living allowance of 29 cents per hour for the next three - months period. Some 6,400 eligible salaried employees will receive an equivalent increase of $35. ini their quarterly cost- of - living allowance. Their total cost - of - living allowance, payable at the end of September will be $145. This upward revision in the cost - of - living allowance, resulting from an increase ini Canada's Consumer Price Index assists GM emnployees in maintaining the purchasing power of their wages and salaries. In March, 1972, GM hourly-rated employees received a three cents - an - hour cost of living allowance, followed by a three - cent adjustment in June, a five cent increase in September. a five cent increase in December, 1972, a six cent increase in March and the latest seven cent increase announced today-in all, an additional 29 cents an hour. GM said that the new cost - of - living adjustment will mean that the typical automobile assembler in GM of Canada will be paid $4.80 an hour, excluding earnings for overtime, night shift work and company-paid benefit programs. The cost - of - living adjustments are made by agree- ment with the unions representing hourly employees and under Corporation policy for eligible salaried employ- ees. The adjustments are based on a review of the Consumer Price Index published by Statistics Canada. The next review of the cost - of - living allowance will be made in September, 1973.

The sympt- ons were said to be intact a week before the massive out-break. The sudden urge to com- plete homework assignments was perhaps the most serio- us of the smyptoms. Other signs of examitis include pen tapping during lessons, sweat- ing palms and nervousjitters. The final sign of examitis hitting its next victim is when the student has an irresistab- le urge to escape the realms of the institution, roaming the grassy lawns bordering the property, Those few students blessed with dismissal of the highly contagious disease had ob- tained an immunization, kno- wn by its common name as "exemption."

Others went into deep shock. ( a mere technicality, common with examitis) Unfortunately, the only known cure for the disease (besides immunization) is the rarity of passing final exam- inations.
