The 1978 version of the Thirties and Forties Dance Tent will be a nostalgic salute to those days as two of Canada's finest big band leaders, Moxie Whitney and Art Halîman, present their versions of the Golden Days of Bands. At the CNE's Canadian International Air Show September 1-4, more than 50 aircraft from around the world will present the unique displays for which the CIAS has become renowned.

WCB Must Review 60,000 Case Files Workmen's Compensation Board officials say they will have to review over 60,000 case files in order to compile individual retroactive increases to WCB pensions and benefits. Amending legislation authorizing the increases was passed just before the legisla- ture rose, for the summer recess. A WCB spokesman pointed out that the review would have to be carried out in conjunction with the routine workload of the Board and added that much of the, additional work would be done by the staff on evenings and weekends. It is predicted the job will be completed within the next three months. Ia the meantime, notices have been forwarded to all recipients advising them that the increases are forth- comning. Amended benefits for widows and dependants, effective July 1, will be included in the July cheques. The ameadments include an increase on the ceilings of earnings covered from $15,000 to $16,200 for accidents occurring on and after July 1, 1978. Compensation for total disability pensions awarded for accidents occurring prior to 1976 will be increased b y il per cent for 1975, eight per cent for 1976 and six per cent for 1977.
