'Pride of Ashburn' may be reality Ashburn and Area News | by Florence Ashton Those of us who attended the regular meeting of the Brooklin Horticulture Society on Wednesday evening, October 22 enjoyed a very interesting and informative talk and slide presentation by a represen- tative of the Royal Botanical Gardens, Burlington. His subject was Home Hybridizing. The major breeding projects currently at Royal Botanical Gardens are with French hybrid lilacs; dwarf, little- leaved lilacs; Siberian irises; and shrub and garden roses. The primary objective of the Siberian iris breeding programme is to im- prove the wine-red colour. Already they have several selections under consideration for registration. After viewing the lovely slides 2* R.B.G. it does intrigue one to try a hand at hybridizing. It was sug- gested to your writer that I should hybridize a new iris and call it "Pride of Ashburn." Anyway, I have the winter months to think about that one. Refreshments were served following the meeting. The next meeting is on November 26 at Brooklin United Church Hall. This will be a Christmas Show and Annual Meeting when the new of- ficers are elected for the following year. The meeting starts at 7:00 p.m. with dessert and coffee, enter- WHITBY-OSHAWA HONDA 1110 Dundas St. East - Whitby, Ont. SALES - SERVICE - LEASING NEW & USED CARS Call ...

HY fomany. | G67 our Canada - | | | Pension Plan will change. These changes put your Plan on a solid, long-term financial foundation. It's important to know what benefits are available because your Plan provides you and/or your fam- ily with a basic level of earnings protection when you retire, become disabled, or die. You will, however, have to apply for the benefits when you believe you are eligible. The information that follows highlights the major improvements. It's 800d news! inancing a better tomorrow New financing arrangements will make and keep your Plan more secure than ever. ~ Right now you and your employer each contribute 1.8% of your earnings up to a maximum dmount. Each year unti 1991, the contribution rate will rise by 0.2% and from there until 2011 by 0.15%. If you make the maximum contribution, you will pay about $26 more in 1987. Increased disability benefits If you qualify for disability benefits, your monthly payment will now "be significantly increased. For example, the maximum disability pension in 1987 will increase from $487 to more than $635 per month. As well, anyone entering or returning to the work force will have disability coverage after contributing in 2 of the last 3 years, in which contributions could have been made. Survivor benefits continue on remarriage If you receive survivor benefits, they will now continue even if you remarry. - If you remarried and had your survivor benefit discontinued, you can have your benefit reinstated. Splitting pension credits your marriage ends in divorce, each spouse will be entitled to one half the "pension credits" you earned together. Ahr January 1, 1987, the credits can also be divided if your marriage or com- mon-law relationship ends in separation. A wider choice tions gin receiving of retirement o Alter January 1st, you can your CPP pension as early as age 60. You - could qualify even if you are not fully retired.

For each month between that date and when your pension begins, your benefit will be adjusted by 0.5%. This adjustment will apply for as long as you receive the benefit' I'd like to know more about my new Canada Pension Plan. Please send me the 'good news' Sharing your pension When you and your spouse receive your CPP: retirement pensions, the benefits you've both earned during your life together can be shared if either of you makes this request. Additional benefits for depe dependent children n the past, Pendent children were lim- ited to one flat-rate benefit, even if both par- ents had paid into the Plan and died or became disabled. Should the same happen now, your Ilan would be entitled to double bene- its. Improved 'Combined' benefits If you are entitled toa com- bination of survivor and disability benefits, the maximum monthly amount you could receive will now be greater. As for combined survivor and retire: ment benefits, these will now be more gen- erously awarded to those who qualify.
