New Pension Plan For CNllExplalned

The provisions of the new pen- sion plan inaugurated by the man- agement of the Canadian National Rallwnys for its officers and am- ployeal were explained to a group of company personnel employed in tho Bordon area at a meeting held on board the car fer "Prince Edward Island" last night, the third of such meetings held to date on the Atlantic Region of the railway. The first was held in Moncton, N. .'B.. and the second in Charlottetown Wednesday night.

In addition to those employed in the Borden area. the group in- cluded empioyocs on the car for- ries "Abegweit" and "Prince Ed- ward Island" and the car ferry terminals on the ” side of the Strait of Northumberland at Cape Tormentine. N. B.

At these meetings the various provisions of the new pension plan which provides for a straight life annuity; a life annuity guaran- teed for five, ten or fifteen years; and a joint survivor annuity; are outlined and their application ex- plained by the regional pensions advisory committee that has been set up to advise officers and em- ployees of the details.

The committee is composed of

W. G. Macdougall. regional counsel. as chairman; Russell P. Mccharles, regional auditor, and C. C. MacDonald. assistant super- lntendent, pensions; with George Dickie of the insurance and pen- sions department as secretary.

Meetings will be held at various centres throughout the Atlantic Region of the C. N. R.

The new pension plan, which takes effect as from January l, 1952, comprises two parts. The first continues the existing plan broadened to make better provis- ion for present and future em- ployees who may become disabled and also for early retirement. The second portion is designed for employees who are willing to sub- scribe to compulsory contribu- tions in return for higher pen- sions.

Last night”: meeting was pre- sided over by Harold Moore, mas- ter mechanlc for the Prince Ed- ward Island division of the C.N.R.

large Increase In Co-op Ass'n Membership Noted

An increase of approximately 30 percent. in membership was noted at the annual meeting of the Central Farmers Co-Operative Association. The increase brought the membership to 452 and the opinion was expressed that at least another 100 members would be added this year.

The report of the Association revealed that last year sales had soared well over the half-million dollar mark to touch a total. of 0653.900.39 for the highest amount of business transacted since the Association was formed. The greatast volume.of sales was seen in the grocery department, and it was stated at the meeting by Mr C. 'MscLesn, manager of. thsstors. that the meat department had been operating at a loss. Mir. Mac- Lean said this was due to the high cost of serving the public and also

to the fact that under present conditions profits from meats were small.

Expansion Program

Retiring president. Mr. Guy Rodd. Braoklsy. spoke of possible expansion in the s:rvice; provid- ed by the Association and ex- pressed the belief that it should opcrate its own feed-mixing plant as well as take a leading part in the development of trade with the people of the iron ore belt recent- ly opened in the Labrador areas,

Although three new directors were elected at the meeting it was decided to leave the election of a new president to a. later meeting of the Board of Dirctors.

Members of the Association had received a patronage rebate of 7 percent. it was stated. with one membe fretting 8127.00. At the same time Mr. Rodd said that sal- arles of employees had been.rals- ed all along the line and the As- sociation now has a pension plan under advisement. He felt that with the expected increase in business the profits of the Associ- ation this year would be double that of 1951.

Considerable discussion waahald by the members on the aunestion of having all members leave their capital, interest and rebates in the business. However, a resolut- ion asking the Board of Directors

at the meeting were Messrs, Allison Mac- Mlllan. rairview; J. J. MacDonald. Mermaid; and Wallace Mallett. Union Road.
