The association of retired clvll servants has launched camhalgo to have their pensions increased In three ways First they are demanding an Immediate ICENHlIebolld tn csease of too per month In their pensions Second they ask that widow should recelva 75 per cent of her hushanda pension Instead of the present 50 per cent And third they want their Pensions automatically atcd to counteract higher living costs caused by Inflation The average penslon drawn by civil servant who retired last year to $2196 or tits month But about onethird of all former clle aervanta now drawing pensions receive less than 31000 year These fall to too main gruupa first those who retired many years ago alter working life when wages were lower than today and sec ontl lhosa who worked for the government for only very few years But all these civil service pensioners are entitled like every other Canadian to draw the national old age pension whlch Is now $7650 per month This is In addltlon to their civil service penston MUST BE SOUND The association argues that the civil service pension fund which stood at 51375823276 last March is large enough to per mit the Increase demanded but on the contrary the fund must be kept actuafially sound to meet the future pcnslous of cmployécs now contributing to it Existing pensions are based actuarially on the yearly contri butions madeby employed If pensions of civil servants at rcady retiredwcre to he in crmsed the fund would become inadequate and would have to be added to This would compel all Canadians to pay higher taxes to restore the fund to ac tuarial soundness The fund has been built by annual oontnbu dona uprisinl civil senants together with matching convictions by the taxpayera But to addition the taxpayers have also had to contribute additional aums uo matched by the employees to Increase the fund every than there Is general wage to crease for civil servants Thua over the past four years while working civil servants have con lrlbutfli total of 591000 to their pension fund out of their wages the taxpayera have matched this and have to add tlon contributcd nearly twiceas much again for total of $6705t8000 to provide for the higher future pensions created by wages Increases anovw YOU rare The demand for lncreasca for present penslnncrs raises seri not question Would there be any justification for increasing taxes to assist only one spe cially favored class of housion Canadians Consider the position of other retiredworkers who were em ployed by say Gcncral Motor or any other private employer Ihclr company pension fund would not permlt any increase to existing pensioners Would the management and sharehold era of any company agree to pay additional sums out of their current earnings to subsidise existing pensions above the conP tractunl and actuarial leveli Of course not lhcn why should all Cana dians pay more taxes to give one special class of pcnslonera benefit which would not be available to all Why should an older Canadian drawing only the national old age pension have to pay higher taxes on hie beer and cigarettes to enable retired civil servants lo emit higher pensions incarnation THE NEWS Resistance Stiliens
