Mrs. Lee and her helpers served turkey and all the trimmings, complete with three varieties of pie. Coffee or tea. A well-filled Christ- mas stocking, a tangerine and an apple decorated each place, compliments of some of the merchants of the town and Lloyd Smith's apples, which were certainly not small. A little snowman on a red or green doilie adorned each table. The Executive consisting of 14 people count- ing husbands or wives, made up the Head Table. After supper, Roy acted as chair- man, and thanked Mrs. Lee and her group. Our Senior Citizen Choir sang four Christmas selec- tins, under the capable lead- ership of Win Philp, with Aleta Leask presiding at the piano. Dehl Bentley then recited the lovely poem of Pauline Johnson's entitled "Qu'Appelle"'. This was most interesting to about eight of us as Our Tour Guide recited this going through the Qu'Appelle Valley on our -trip west a few years ago. The Prince Albert Singers and Orchestra then took over and entertained us with sacred selections, Christmas carols and some lovely old waltzes. Then Everett Prentice capably called for an old-fashioned square dance which everyone enjoyed. Roy moved a vote of thanks and once again our gay party was over. (Too late for last week) Our December 6 meeting opened with O Canada with Stan Ploughman in charge. All the members of the Santa Claus Senior Citizens float in the Parade were in costume on the stage. As Stan Ploughman called each per- son's name (11.in all) they stepped forward and receiv- ed a well-deserved applause.

Kimberly Debra, daughter of Chris and Stella Dennis of Port Perry was married to Peter Ing of Barrie on August 7, 1978. The Child Tax Credit pro- gram will provide -- for the 1978 tax year -- up to $200 per child for children under 18 years of age. The full benefit will be available to families whose income during 1978 was $18,000 or less, The benefit will be reduced by 5 Dennis - Ing | The reception was held at Fantasy Farm on Pottery Road, Toronto, Ontario. The happy couple honeymooned in Pocono, Pennsylvania, Dex per cent of any income above this amount. The Child Tag Credit was designed to redis- tribute social benefits by direction more help to lower income families. To help finance the new Child Tax Credit program, the federal Family Allow- ances rate is being reduced -- effective January 1979 -- to $20 a month per child for children under age 18 in most provinces and in the terri- tories. The amount and method of payment of Family Allow- ances varies in Quebec and Alberta. This option was chosen by both these pro- vinces under a provision in * the Family Allowances Act which permits a provincial government to ask the federal government to vary the rates payable in that province according to the age or number of children in ~a family or both, providing the payments average $20 per month over a four-year period. Special Allowances, which are paid to foster parents, welfare agencies, govern- ment departments and insti- « tutions maintaining children are not affected by the new legislation. Rates for these will increase from $25.68 to $27.99 in January. Recipi- ents of a Special Allowance for a child will not be entitled to claim a Child Tax Credit for that child.
