The new monthly total at the single rate for persons receiving both the basic Old Age Security pension and maximum Guaranteed In- come Supplement will be $204.27. For a married couple who are both pensionners, the combination of the basic pension and maximum supplement will provide a payment of $389.70 for the couple monthly. The basic Old Age Security pension will rise in January to $120.06 from the present $117.02. ) The maximum Guaran- teed Income Supplement for a single person, or a married persen whose spouse is not a pensioner, will go up in January to $84.21 from its current $82.08. The maxi- mum supplement for a mar- ried couple, both pensioners, will increase to $74.79 each from $72.89. Added to the basic pension, this will give each married pensioner $194.85 monthly, or a total of $389.70 for the couple. Canada Pension Plan Some 600,000 pensioners and beneficiaries under the ° Canada Pension Plan will receive increases in their Bronson-Midgley Mr. and Mrs. Dale Bronson were united in mar- riage on Saturday, Sep- tember 7th, 1974 at 3:00 p.m. in Greenbank United Church.

The current maximum Canada Pension Plan retirement pension will rise to $121.00 a month as of January, 1975, from $109.60. The increase reflects the rise in cost of living in the last year and will apply to all persons in receipt of CPP benefits 'or pensions as of December 31, 1974. The increase will be reflected in the January cheques. The combination of the adjusted Old 'Age Security ° pension and Canada Pension Plan retirement benefit will provide monthly payments of $241.06 where the maxi- mum 1974 CPP pension is payable. ° Mr. Lalonde said that the escalation of benefits under the Canada Pension Plan, in line with the full increase in the cost of living, is the result of an amendment to the Plan OPP report The O.P.P. recently con- ducted a survey on vehicle thefts for the month of The survey listed the locations and causes of the thefts. The most startling fact to come out of the report is the fact that in most of the cases, the owner contributed to the theft. 81.8 per cent of all vehicles stolen were left unlocked and 56 per cent of the vehicles had the keys in the ignition. The recovery rate for cars and trucks is very high, but only a small percentage of motorcycles and snow mach- ines are ever recovered. write about himself." through. core" of his existence.

If his kids are the apple of his eye or, just the "wormy We know where he's been and where he hopes to go. Where he was born, his age and if he loved his parents. In which case he'll usually say "My dad" or "My mother" with a special tinge of pride. And even if he does refer to his wife as The Old Lady and blames her as -the instigator of all the family-fights--he'll manage somehow to say it with a smile.

Previously, the escalation of benefits was limited to two per cent each year. Of the estimated 600,000 persons who will be in receipt of CPP benefits at the. end of December, some -365,000 are retirement pen- - sioners, 96,000 are widows or disabled widowers and 37,000 are disabled contributors. Another 95,000 benefits are for orphans and children of disabled contributors. In addition, - there are combined benefits, such as those of a widow in receipt of a retirement pension as well as a survivor benefit. Appoints new Fire Marshal The appointment of Joseph H.
