Vi Stoushnow New Winner In Ladies Golf The last two weeks the ladies at the Castlegar Golf Course have been playing for the Celgar Trophy. This is our only low net. trophy of the season, The new winner is Vi Stoushnow who is playing good payments are based will be increased from $8,600 to $9,600. This is done by the Workmen's Compensation Board pursuant to section 31 of the Act. Maximum compensation is 75 per cent of the maximum annual wage. Thus maximum compensation payable to work- men injured on or after Jan. 1, 1974, will increase from $123.70 to $138.08 per week. A formula in the Work- men’s Compensation Act pro- vides for a $1,000 increase in the maximum wage rate when, in. the preceeding calendar year, at least 20 per cent of the workmen covered received a wage rate more than $1,000 higher than the current maxi- mum, and at least 45 per cent of the workmen covered are earning more than the maxi- mum. Acéording to figures based on the industrial composite of. average weekly wages and salaries in British Columbia, published by Statistics Canada, - the conditions for an increase in the maximum have been met. Based upon the average B.C. wage rate reported by Statistics Canada of $171 per week, as of January,: 1973, the WCB has determined that 37.2 per cent of workmen employed in industries under the act are earning more than $1,000 in excess of the current maximum wage rate and that 51.5 per cent are earning in excess of the current maximum wage rate.

Tel fo Raise Rates In Thrums Exchange Area Thrums exchange area of B.C. Tel is to have its rates revised and regrouped. An application by — the telephone company has been viven approval by the Canadian transport commission, The regrouping to the next higher rate group results from economic expansion and popula- tion growth in toll-free calling areas (which includes Thrums) which has increased the num- ber of phones to a point beyond the limits of the present schedule. B.C. Tel district manager D.S. Knight said this will mean increases ranging from 25 cents per month for - residential subscribers to $1.10 per month for business telephones. The increases go into effect today. Mr. Knight, in making the announcement, noted that the total number of telephones in the Thrums toll-free calling area, which takes in South Slocan, Castlegar and Vallican, now stands at over 5,000. The upper limit of the current rate group is 5,000 telephones. He added: “The company is required under the terms of its tariff to report. the growth of . facilities to the CTC, which has authorized the revision of rates to a level covering exchanges. The continuing ex- pansion and growth here has moved Thrums into a group which covers exchanges with more than 5,000 but under 10,000 telephones in use. Monthly rates under the new schedule are $3.70 for an individual residence line: $270 for two-party service and $3.05 for multi-party service. Bxist- ing rates are $4.45; $3.50 and $2.90. The rate for individual business line. service will be revised to $9.80 from tine present rate of $8.70.
