Children's Christmas The 2nd Annual Schreiber Parks and Recreation' Christmas Party was a tremendous success. Approximately 50 children, ages 3 to 10 years, participated in an afternoon of fun. Activi- ties included songs, mural drawing, films, lunch and Santa Claus. The murals prepared during the party are on display in the arena corridor. Drop by and have a look at this creative and imaginative art work. The Parks and Rec- reation Department would like to take the opportunity to thank all participants, parents and workers.

Men's Weight Training Clinic The Schreiber Parks and Recreation Depart- ment is staging a Men's Weight Training Clinic Increase in Family Allowances/Old Age Security and Canada Pension Ontario residents re- ceiving Family Allow- ances on behalf of their children will benefit from an increase as of January 1984, Health and Welfare Minister Monique Begin announ- ced recently. Family Allowances paid monthly for child- ren under 18 will rise tc $29.95 from $28.52. This increase of five per- cent is in accordance with the "6 and 5" res- traint guidelines. In additien, the re- fundable Child Tax Credit for the 1983 taxa- tion year will provide up to $343 per child per "year based on family income. In, order to ,re- ceive the tax credit, the. parent must file an'in-' come tax return even if they had little or no taxable income in 1983. Old Age Security, Guaranteed Income Supplement and Spouse's Allowance benefits are also going up in January. For the first quarter of 1984, Old Age Security (OAS) pensions will be indexed at the annual tate of five percent, amounting to $263.78 per month from $260.52. The Guaranteed In- come Supplement (GIS) for low-income pen- sioners is not affected by the "6 and S" limitation and will continue to be adjusted quarterly in line with increases in the cost of living. For single pension- ers, those payments will increase to $265.60 from $261.55. This will give a person receiving both OAS and the maximum GIS a total of $529.38. The maximum GIS paid to a married cou- ple, both of whom are pensioners, will be $204.86 each, up from $201.65. This will give each married pension- er receiving both OAS and the maximum GIS a total of $468.64, or '$937.28 for the couple. The Spouse's Allow- ance will be $468.64, up from $462.17. Persons eligible for this benefit are between 60 and 65 and married to an OAS/ GIS pensioner. Canada Pension Plan recipients are also see- ing their benefits in- creased in the new year. The annual adjust- ment, which this year is 6.7 per cent, is based on the rise in the cost of living over the past year. Individuals receiving these pensions also in- clude pensioners eli- ' gible for disability pay- ments, persons receiv- ing suryjving spouses' pensions, children re- ceiving monthly bene- fits as dependents of disability pensioners or as orphans of deceased contributors. For those who be- come eligible for bene- fits in 1984 the maxi- mum monthly retire- ment pension will be $387.50. The maximum disability pension is $374.50 per month while benefits for disabled contributors will be $83.87 per month per child. Surviving spouses under age 65 will re- ceive a maximum of $229.18 per month while those 65 or older will have maximum monthly benefits of $232.50. The new ceiling for combin- ed benefits is $387.50 per month. ", There is also a lump sum death benefit 'pay- able under the Canada Pension Plan. The maxi- mum payable in respect of contributors who die in 1984 will be $2,080. Canada Pension Plan benefits are based on a person's actual earnings: and contributions for the period during which that person could have con- tributed to the Plan. There are yearly mini- mum, and maximum earnings levels between which persons contri- bute. For 1984 these le- vels are $2,000 and $20,800 respectively. Smoking .. . continued from page 8 record of your mood at times when you light up to help you _ pinpoint patterns of weakness. Managing Failure Don't be too discour- aged if you give in to temptation. The -differ- ence between those who eventually stop smoking and those who don't, as with so many of life's trials, is often the ability to learn from failure. Test Your Nicotine Dependence To find out how ad- dicted you are to nico- tine, take this mini- quiz about smoking habits. You may be sur- prised. 1. How soon after you wake up do you smoke your first cigarette? 2. Do you find it diffi- cult to refrain from smoking in places where it is forbidden (i.e. church, libraries)? 3. Which of alli the ciga- rettes you smoke in a day is the most satis- fying? 4. How many cigarettes a day do you smoke? 5. Do you smoke more during the morning than during the rest of the day? 6. Do you smoke even if you are ill and in bed for most of the day? 7. What type of brand do you smoke? 8. How often do you inhale? Answers 1. within 30 minutes - 1 point more than 30 minutes - 0 2. yes 1 no 0 3. first cigarette in the morning 1 the middle of the day 0 the end of the day 0 4. light (1-15 cigarettes per day) 0 moderate (16-25 ciga- rettes per day) 1 heavy (more than 26 cigarettes per day) 2 5. yes 1 no 0 6. yes 1 nn a) 7. low nicotine brand 0 medium nicotine brand 1 high nicotine brand 2 8. rarely inhale 0 inhale moderately 1 inhale every puff 2 Now, add up your points. If you have a score of between 9 and 11 points, consider your- self hooked. But don't despair - see your family doctor about developing a smoking cessation pro- gram to help you sur- vive withdrawal symp- toms. A score between 6 and 8 points means you're 'moderately addicted. Unfortunately, research indicates you will pro- bably develop a full ad- diction, because the more you inhale, the more you will want to inhale. If you have a score of 5 or lower, you have a minimum dependence on nicotine. Most likely, you're a social smoker. You only light up when you are out with friends, and you rarely inhale. tor males ages 14 and over.
