The five elderly witnesses said that the present $75 nen sion paid to all Canadians 70 years of age and over is com- 'pletely inadequate. They said it was impossible to enjoy even a minimum standard of living with less than $125 a month Senator Allister Grosart (PC --Ontario) said one of the main points made by the witnesses was that many sons and daught- ers are unwilling to help their parents once they are no ionger able to work and earn an in- cottages and a gas station in the Bancroft - Maynooth area} then stole a truck to transport} 'household goods back to Tor- onto to furnish the apartment. come, The witnesses said that per- sons on old age pension should receive free medical and hospi- tal care and drugs. p legislation which went into effect Oct. 23.

Results of the investigation' by the Rev. Andre Q. Morton into the 14 Pauline epistles have already stirred 'ively contro- versy, "They will be very difficult for some people to accept who maintain an out-of-date posi- tion," he said Thursday in an interview. His findings, if accepted by other biblical scholars, will pose a challenge to the Roman Cath- olic and Anglican view of St. Paul as the creator of the only' true church founded by Jesus. Protestant fundamentalists also accuse him of tampering with the Bible, Authorship of the Pauline istles has long been in dis- pute, Biblical scholars at Tub- ingen University in Germany reached the same conclusions as Morton a century ago using stylistic evidence.
