The craft itself is made of sheet metal with 1" x 2" strapping and styrofoam pontoons. The 8' x 3' boat was decorated by a Brooklin decorator. As of press time the results of this year's race were not available. Benefit increases announced Increases in the Old Age Security pension, Guaran- teed Income Supplement and Spouse's Allowance, which are to take effect in April 1981, were announced last week by the Minister of National Health and Welfare, Monique Begin. The basic Old Age Security pension will be in- creased to $208.20 monthly from the present $202.14. The maximum Guaran- teed Income Supplement for an individual or a married person whose spouse is receiving neither a pension nor a Spouse's Allowance, will increase to $209.03 from its current $202.94. Added to the basic pension, this will give a person receiving both the OAS and the maximum GIS a monthly, total of $417.23. The maximum Guaran- teed Income Supplement for a married couple, both of whom are pensioners, will increase to $161.16 each from $156.47. Added to the basic pension this will give each married pensioner receiving the maximum GIS a total of $369.36, or $738.72 for the couple. The Guaranteed Income Supplement is paid to pen- sioners whose income, apart from the Old Age Security pension, is limited. The amount of the supplement varies in relation to income. The maximum Spouse's Allowance will increase to $369.36 from $358.61. The maximum Spouse's Allowance is made up of an amount equivalent to the basic Old Age Security pen- sion and the maximum GIS at the married rate and it is paid to persons between 60 and 65 years of age who are married to OAS pensioners and meet residence requirements. Entitlement to a Spouse's Allowance, and the amount paid, is based on yearly income. Where the pensioner spouse dies, the surviving spouse may be eligible for the continuation of the allowance to age 65 or until remarriage if the person has no income or a limited amount of income. Increases in Old Age Security pension and Guaranteed Income Sup- plement payments are calculated quarterly based on the cost of living.

The play is now in its second week with performances being given tomorrow, Friday and Saturday in the theatre of the Centennial Building, Centre Street South, beginning at 8 p.m. - Photo by Bob Nelson Special performance of WTC's " Tomorrow night marks the beginning of the final three performances of the Whitby Theatre Company's presentation of "The Torch Bearers". The play is about an amateur theatre group of the 1920's where members of little or no talent mistakenly rank themselves among the theatrical greats, Torch Bearers" This hilarious comedy is a challenge to director Terril Stewart and its cast inasmuch as it is the story of a play within a play and the actors are playing a role within a role. A special performance has been scheduled tonight with all proceeds going in aid of Destiny Manner, an organization much the same as Alcoholics Anonymous that provides a service for women. Curtain time at the Cen- tennial Building Theatre is 8 p.m. and tickets can be bought at Middleton's Book Store, Dundas Street West in Whitby or at the door. Tickets are $4.50 for Thur- sday.
