Page 17 Published Weekly at Olds, Alberta The Gazette The stall award for Round-Up ’79 at Stampede Park, Calgary was won by Cloverhome Jerseys, Didsbury, Alta. Presenting the bronze to Mr. Rutley is Stampede Agriculture Director Howara MacDonald. Church holds conference Approximately 200 peo- ple attended a branch conference of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter- day Saints March 18 at Olds. Branch conferences are held once a year. The congregation lis- tened to district leaders speak on various matters and at one point sustained the officials of the Church by a vote of hands. The speeches included temple marriage in the Church, how Mormons can help solve the world’s problems rather than be- ing a part of them, com- mitment of the principles Mormons believe’ in, staying on the straight and narrow path, and revelation of times of old and new. Leaders present were Ron: Woolf, president of the Olds Branch, Ronald M. Rodgers, District Pres- ident and his two coun- selors, Roger N. Walker and Larry V. Henry. dayliner hearings set for April Public hearings will be held late next month in an 034% Interest Paid On One Year Money Chic Miller & Vern Dye Phone 226-6838 Olds effort to determine how viable a service VIA Rail’s dayliner service is along the Edmonton to Calgary corridor. The hearings, announ- ced last week by the Canadian Transport Com- mission (CTC), will be held in Edmonton, Cal- gary and Red Deer. VIA claims the service is suffering huge losses and has asked repeatedly for the closure of the line from the CTG, the govern- ing body. VIA, which operates all passenger services in Canada, can only close the line with the permission of the CTC, an agency of the federal transport department. The CTC says anyone may make an. oral or written presentation at the hearings. If unable to attend, briefs may also be submitted by mail. The sessions have been set for 10:00 a.m., Apri! 23, in the Edmonton Plaza Hotel; 10:00 a.m., April 26 in Red Deer City Hall and 10:00 a.m., April 27 in the Supreme Court of Alberta in Calgary. Until recently, CP Rail, who maintains the line, owned a number of the rolling train stock. How- ever, now VIA owns all site. one == \ { | \ \ | | \ | \ | \ | \ | \ | | \ | \ tivities. 1-403-825-2201 Area Superintendents Highway 5 East Cee me er ee es ae ea ae ae ee Husky Oil Operations Ltd.

Currently, CP personnel are used and paid by VIA to act as engineers, brake- men and trainmen. VIA has its own personnel to cater to the passengers. “The decision (to close the service) will be made by VIA and by the federal government’’, pointed out a CP Rail spokesman. Closure of the passenger service will not affect the other rail services along the line, he added. motorists driving to the U.S. this year could face gas shortage If you are planning a trip to the United States this summer, you might find yourself spending as much as a dollar a gallon for gasoline or maybe not being able to buy it at any price. The Alberta Motor Association (A.M.A.) .ad- vises that gas rationing plans are presently before the U.S. Congress and could be implemented as early as June 1979, if oil imports into the United States continue to be cur- tailed. If such an energy con- tingency plan is put into effect, find their travel plans limited as a_ result of gasoline shortages and higher gas prices. The A.M.A. says U.S. plans initially call for weekend closings of retail fuel outlets with eventual full scale rationing of gasoline if American crude oil supplies con- tinue to diminish. The first step, if im- plemented, would call for all retail gasoline outlets to ciose their pumps weekends from Friday noon until midnight Sun- day. Other motor vehicle services would still be available however. The next step would be gas rationing by coupons with the proposed ration being two (2) gallons of gas-per-registered-pas- senger-car-per-day. Diesel fuel would not be in- cluded in the rationing plans. On top of all this, the price of one U.S. gallon of unleaded fuel could reach the one dollar mark. The AMA points out that although these plans are currently being developed as a_ precautionary measure, motorists should keep this possibility in mind when planning trips to the U.S. this spring and summer. Areas will be encountered where supplies are short so remember to keep your gas tank at least half full at all times. old age security payments to increase Increases in the Old Age Security pension, Guaran~ teed Income Supplement and Spouse’s Allowance, effective in April have been announced _ by Health and Welfare Min- ister Monique Begin. Increases in Old Age Security pension and Guaranteed Income Sup- plement payments repre- sent the twenty-second quarterly escalation based on the cost of living, as provided for in the Old Age Security Act since October, 1973. The new monthly total at the single rate for persons receiving both the basic Old Age Security pension and maximum Guaran- teed Income Supplement will be $310.28. For a married couple, both pensioners, the com- bination of the basic pen- sion and maximum sup- plement will provide a payment of $573.42 for the couple monthly. The basic Old Age Sec- urity pension will rise in April to $170.39 from the present $167.21. The Guaranteed . Income Supplement is paid to pensioners whose income, apart from the Old Age Wednesday, March 28, 1979 Security pension, is lim- ited. The amount of the supplement varies in re- lation to the amount of income. i The maximum Guaran- teed Income Supplement for a single person, or a married person whose spouse is not a pensioner and is not receiving a Spouse’s Allowance, will go up in April to $139.89 from its current $137.28. The maximum supple- ment for a married couple, both pensioners, will in- crease to $116.32 each from $114.15. Added to the basic pension, this will give each married pen- sioner $286.71 monthly, or a total of $573.42 for the couple. The Spouse’s Allowance is paid to persons between 60 and 65 years of age who are married to Old Age Security pensioners and meet residence require- ments. Entitlement to a Spouse’s Allowance, and amount paid, is based on yearly income. The maximum Spouse’s Allowance will increase to $286.71 from $281.36. The maximum Spouse’s Al- lowance is made up of an amount ‘equivalent to the basic Old Age Security pension and the maximum Guaranteed Income Sup- plement at the married rate. 4uo\ Vu vOa Ad SPRING SALES Scott Hunter Auctions for March 26 - Didsbury Bull Sale March 30 - Complete Garage Dispersal and Land Sale - K & F Motors, Trochu April 7 - Farm Equipment Sale, Rosetown, Sask.
