News An increased cost-of-livng allowance for the three-month period beginning in June, 1975, will be received by approx- imately 33,600 hourly and salaried employees of General Motors of Canada Limited. Quarterly adjustments are based on a combined Canad- ian-U.S. index, using a 1967 index base. The average of these combined consumer price indexes for February, March and April, 1975, is 157.6 compared with the average of 155.0 for the previous three months, a sufficient increase to change the cost-of-living allowance for the next quart- er. Some 27,000 hourly em- ployees will receive a total cost-of-living allowance of 83 cents an hour -.an increase of seven cents an hour, which began June 2, 1975. Some 6,600 eligible salaried employees will be paid a cost-of-living allowance of $431.60 in the pay ending August, 1975, for the quarter beginning June 1, 1975. GM said the new cost-of- living allowance will mean that the typical automotive, assembler in General Motors of Canada will be earning a total rate of $6.10 an hour, excluding earnings for over- time and night shift work. These earnings do not include benefit programs which have been expanded significantly over the years. The company said that the upward revision of the cost-of-living allow- ance assists GM employees in maintaining the purchasing power of their wages and salaries. W.L NEWS The June meeting of the W.I. was held on June 9th at 8 p.m. in the C.E. Hall. The Roll Call - "Something I bought because of a T.V. Commercial or advertise- ment. Did you like it?

The Motto "You can't go on being a good egg - you must hatch or go stale"~ was given by Mrs. L. Anderson. She said that at first this motto looks humorous but it does have a serious side. A student, fair, average or good must have a goal to go ahead. If we do not use our talent, whatever it is, we will begin to use il. 0f what use is an egg? It dependis on what you do with it. An egg is like our lives, you have to make a start at it. Life isn't always served sunny side up. Mrs. G.

These are the guys who go around peddling phoney "cures" for arthritis. What are they selling? Well, it is usually something like gloves made from special fabrics; diets which will quickly cure arthritis; a trip ^o a uranium mine where invisable rays' will drive away the pain. And then there is mud. Yes, good old garden- variety mud. Other "cures" range from copper bracelets to magnets. They all have two things in common. First, they are nol effective and, second, they are expensive. All right, you ask, if these things on't work, how come these con men canstay in business? Thessad truth is that arthritis, and its peculiar nature, give Ihese crooks all the ammunilion they need. Very few things are worse than constant, nagging pain, and there are some people who suffer incessantly from arthritis and are desperate for relief to the point where they will try anything: This is where the peculiar nature of arthritis plays right into the quacks' hands. For some unknown reason, most forms of arthritis go naturally into "spontaneous remission", where pain may subside for days, wpeks or even months - with no outside influence.

Will they give the credit to natural remission or to tiheir newfound remedy? The quack knows. He also knows that sooner or later the pain will return, so he leaves the scene an instant hero. Many people turn to these con men because they believe. that doctors can do nothing to help them. That isn't true. With early diagnosis and treatment, arthritis cav be controlled in four out of five cases. The key is to see your doctor right away if you think you have arthritis. S mp may be vague andyout may feel that they do not warrant a trip 10 the doctor. That attitude could be dangerous. Persistent pain, stiffness or tenderness in one or more oints, especially the lower ack or knees, should alert you to make a doctor's appointment. Other symptoms include tingling sensations in the finger tips, hands or feet; an unexplàined weight loss, fever, weakness or fatigue. The Arthritis Society urges you not to buy any gimmick. Last year in Ontario alone, peddlers of phoney remedies bilked people with arthritis out of over $2 million. That is more that The Arthritis Soc- iety needs each year to carry on its program of research - a program which will likely provide the cure for arthritis in the foreseeable future.
