~ A Can CanTell a Story of Possible Spoilage of ifs Contents

Look, listen, smell, and
a can can tell you a story.

This. interesting advice
comes from the Health Pro-
tection Branch educational
services in Vancouver, and
is contained in a free pam-
phlet published by Health
and Welfare Canada.

The look of a can gives
evidence of possible spoil-

age of the contents. If it is
corroded or rusty, but is not.
rusted through, chances are
the contents are safe, but
should be used immediately.
If the can is’ bulging,
‘never use it. Throw it away
if its yours, or inform the .
maneer, if it is on the shelf
in a sto
Look for tell-tule spots of

dried foods along the seams
down the side or at the top
and bottom, Tf you find one,
throw the can away.

lf the contents look
bubbly oy moldy on open-
ing a can, they are probubly
affected by bacterial or
mold growth. Throw it out,
but be careful not to spill
the contents.

If the contents spurt out
when you open a can, It
could be pressure build-up

to bet they've gone bad?

Don't tuste the contents of

would almost triple the
average size of the present
payment;

Anew formula for federal-
provincial co-operation in
this field;

A new cupacity to esca-
late’ the allowance from
lime to time, to account
for higher living costs,

Specifically, benefits will
increase from an uveruge of
$7.21 per child per month
($86.52 a year) to an uver-
age of $20 per. child per
month ($240 per year).

In uccordance with a new
provision in the Act, pro-
vinces will be able to de-
cide if they wish to vary the
allowance on the basis of a
child’s uge or on the. basis
of the size of a family, or
both. If a province does not
wish to make such a varia-
lion, the federal govern-
ment will pay the standard
of $20 to euch child up to.
age 18 in that province. If
they wish to alter that stan-
dard, provinces must abide
by two main conditions:

1, no single rate paid for
a child may be less‘ than 60

.per cent of the national

norm — i.e. a minimum of
$12 a month,

2. the amount paid to all
children in the province
must make up an average
of $20 a month per child.

Other features of the pro-
posed legislation are:

e@ the new program will
cover all those 3% million
families now .cligible for
family allowance and youth
allowance benefits, i.e.
those with dependent child:
ren under age 18. There
are over 7'4 million Cana-
dian children and youths in
this category.

® families now receiving
benefits need not re-apply.
The increased benefit will
be mailed to them i-

federal-provinclal tux-shar-
ing arrangements. The new
expenditure will amount to
$1.48 billion,

e with respect to children
under the care and main-
tenance of a government or
a government agency, or a
private institution, a spe-
cial non-tuxuble $20 allow.
ance will be paid to the
agency or institution,

© this sume special non-
taxable allowance will also
be paid to foster parents
caring for children placed
with them by a government
agency,

“ges in the cost of living,

lowance and the special al-
lowance may be increased

Three-Year-Old
Accident Flown

A three-year-old girl, who
was taken to Vancouver by an
emergency flight Friday, is
reported to be in satisfactory
condition,

Mary Killough sustained
injuries in a single-car accident
Friday when the vehicle, driven
by her father, left the road
approximately 12 mites up the
Kinnaird-Christina Lake High-

way,

She received initial treat
ment at the Castlegar and
District Hospital just prior to

of Commons. ':

The. Minister expressed ;

his hope that'the legislation

would be passed: by’ this fi

Fall, allowing the new. bene:
fits to commence next Janu-
ary. He stated that the new

family allowances program @

represents the first phase
of a system of family income
supplementation which had
‘been put forward earlier this
year in the working paper

on social security in Canada. §

The increased allowances
will result in $840 million

being added to the incomes:

mainly of low: and middle-
income families in a period
of rising living costs.

system, allowances will
continue to’ be paid to the
mother of the family.

e the principal object of
the new program is to sup-
plement family income. Ac-
cordingly, the present re-
quirement of school attend-
ance will be dropped. This
means that payments in
respect of 16 and 17 year-
olds who are dependent on,

_ their parents ..will* * betome,

universal.

e benefits -are- available --

only for children residing
in Canada who have at least
one parent who is a Can-
adian citizen or a ftanded
immigrant (or, under spe-
cial circumstances, a non-
immigrant subject to Can-
adian income tax).

© allowance will be avail-
able for children of immi-
grants us soon us they are
legally landed. At present
there is a one-year waiting
period. As a result, the pre-
sent family assistance pro-

gram for immigrants can

be discontinued.

@ in addition, allowances
may be paid outside. of Can-
ada when the parent or
child is temporarily absent
(on vacation, receiving spe-
cial health treatment, at-
tending school) or when a
Canadian family is station-
ed abroad (i.e. with an em-
bassy or a Canadian. over-
seas firm) but whose in-
come remains subject _ to
Canadian income tax. In the
latter cases, the payment
will be the national —stan-
dard of $20. The provisions
considerably liberalize exist-
ing legislation.

© in the case of a delayed
application, retroactive
payments may be made for
a period of up to one year.
