4000 Pensioners
To be Minus
Supplements

When the basic Old Age
Security pension is increased to
$156.66 at the end of April,
about 4,000 pensioners out of
134,000 in B.C. will find that
their cheques -have been. re-
duced.

They are the ones who
have been receiving more than
basic in the form of Guaranteed
Income Supplements, but have
delayed submitting their state-
ments of income for 1977.

“Where possible, separate
cheques will be issued for the
April supplement early in
May,” says pensions official
Tom Wilson, “but an applica-
tion signed by the pensioner
must be received in the Victoria
office before this can be done.”

“The fire danger will rise
rapidly as the rp dis-

In recent years, many
