One of the most interesting points about the move to Maple is that Maple was the location of original Superior Propane plant when the firm was first established. The company, which has been in existance since 1951 now employs about 500 people and since it was established has in- creased its annual sales from about one million gallons the first year to about 26 million now. Much of the company's gas is used in industry. in homes and cottages but a great deal of propane gas is also used in agriculture. This is an- other reason why the company decided to make the move to Maple as it was felt that the firm should establish itself among its customers. vicinity and it was felt that Maple would be an ideal loc- ation. 26 Milliou Gallons Mrs. Harry Webb was hostess at a farewell luncheon recently for Mrs. Bert Knowles who is soon to leave our community.

John Addison supports the Liberal Party in this most advanced and effective means to provide pensions for older citizens. Young people can build up good pensions for themselves in the con- tributory way, to augment the ordinary mini- mum. The combination of a public plan with pri- vate contributions is an historic forward march in social security. Many private companies now have good pen- sion schemes, but a majority of the Canadian working population is not covered by them. Thus, a government contributory scheme, along with the regular basic pension of $75. per person paid by the federal government, becomes of great nation- al value to all who work for a living. Liberal governments originally introduced the universal old-age pension and, in cooperation with the provinces, made it available to people between 65 and 70 who are in need. Those who wish to participate in a new Lib- eral contributory plan, which becomes efiectivo over a period, can have their pensions begin at 65. The size of the pensions under this phase of the plan rises year by year. This is a major plank in the Liberal Party's national platform: The new national minimum retirement pension under a Liberal government, will be $75. a month for single retired persons at the age of 70 and $140 for married couples. This is a minimum and it will be paid to peoplo 70 or over who have not had an opportunity of con- tributing under the proposed contributory plan.
