There is one other point I should perhaps remind you about in connection with your Inconie 'fax Returns, arid that is the fact that the Province of Ontario levies a gift tax.'lf in 1975 you made a gilt or gifts, other than to your spouse, totalling more than $5,000 in value, a gift tax return must he filed, InquirieS and returns in this connection should be directed to:.

I hope this information will be helpful to ;s,ou all in completing your Income Tax Returns. and if you have any specific enquiries about the Tax Credit System, please let me know. Sec you ,next week. (By Jack Riddell, M.P.P.) 1 his is the time of year when we all start thinking about Income • Tax Returns,' and already I have a‘ceived a number of enquiries about the Provincial lax Credit SYstV.M, ikbich is, of course, designed to improve the fairness, of the tax system, by relating the credits to the individual's ability to pay taxes. There is an additional credit this year - the Political Contribution Tax Credit . and residents of Ontario who arc more than 65 years of age may. ft well be eligible for all four credits. • In an effort to make sure that the benefits of the Tax Credit„ System. arc most helpful to thost% in the greatest need of assistance, the total 1 ax Credit entitlement IS reduced by 2% of the, taxable income, which means that the amount available to any taxpayer depends „;triion ° family circum- ▪ stances,' age, income and the property tax orrent which is paid, subjecup an overall maximum of $500, ' 1 he 1 ax Credit System of Ontario is administered as part of the' Federal. Government's personal income tax system, and the only methods of obtaining. the various credits is to complete the special pale purple coloured credit form which is included with the income tax schedules. Even if there is no taxable income, this iorm must be filed with the Federal Government.. • In the event that a taxpayer,- has any outstanding liability for Incoiny ax. Canada Pension Plan or Unemployment Insurance contributions, the Tax Credits wilt he applied to reduce' this liability. Otherwise, the Federal to Department of National -Revenue will send Out a refund cheque which will include the l ax Credits paid by the Province as well as any Federtil Refund which may be payable, o be eligible for tht Tax Credits,. you.muSt be over and a resident of Ontario on the .last day of the taxa tion year. If someone is temporarily ou _ t f the Province on December 31st. 4 OP4 4.• Jack Riddell, Liberal MPP for Huron-Middlesex, told the monthly session of county council Friday • that the closing of hospitals in the county is setting, rural Ontario back 12 to 15 years. "The closings of hospitals in Huron is a slap in the face to rural Ontario," he said. "What we face now is setting rural Ontario back 12 to 15 years." He explained,that Huron was now forced to bear the brunt of, the Health Minister's restraint program and the closing of hospitals was drawing from r the lifeblood of the communities. He also added there is evidence of Correspondent Mrs. R. Laing .

This is the fourth annual trip. should have been given to a centralized hospitatin the county. Despite poor planning he believed there were viable alternatives to complete closure of hospitals in the county. He claimed there are too many hospital beds • in Ontario and 'Huron County and suggested that every major hospital could have sections closed. He insisted that the government has priorities Milted up and funds could be raised from other sources rather than closing hospitals. "If there was a seven per cent tax on tobacco the government could raise $40 to $50 !Millen per 'Mrs. Robert Laing.

Mr. and Mrs. Jim Bosnian, and girls visited with Mr. and .Mrs. luxuries then Ible certainly can lafford to pay for them." He added that a 10 per cent tax on tobacco would mean a $70 million revenue annually. Riddell questioned the governments priorities claiming the province didn't need McMaster University Hospital in Hamilton and University Hospital in London. "1 could name . several more hospitals we didn't need but now the community hospitals> are being sacrificed," he said, "We do have problems 'and need restraint.hut .the government has its priorities mixed up." Riddell explained that it was when a number of high school classmates gathered at her home for a bridal shower in honour of Nancy Devereaux of Seafdrth.

Mr. and Mrs. William 1-lodge and Mr. and Mrs. Bob Harrig have returned home from a three week holiday in Florida and surrounding country. just further evidence of the centralizing tenclancies of the government and the province would only be inviting trouble through Centralization. Riddell was also incensed at the hospital closings in view of the needless spending of other government agencies. He disagreed with the Wintario Lottery as a source of revenue Wit questioned why ,.ne more than $20 ofillien in re venue couldn't be used for h,spitals. He pointed out that $24 million was spent on the extension of the Spadina Exr,essway, a project the peoplc of Toronto really didn't want and the government was also spending money for snowmobile Clinton Hospital board vice- chairman viewed the economic impact of the Clinton Hospital closing as Monsterous. He added that the only alternative for health care was London since Wingham hospital 'was operating over 90 per cent occupancy and Exeter could not satisfy the needs of the people. "We must deplore the techniques df the Minister in the closing and as long as Clinten is there health needs will have to be met." he said, "There must be alternatives and Clinton Hospital would certainly consider a challenge to cut the budget." Mr. Menzies suggested that the more logical approach would be o cot, tOtk.ht.

County. councillors debated for more than an hour "as to the course of their action and juris,, diction on the , matter.' Clerk-, treasurer Bill Hanly told council the CoUnty has no jurisdiction over the hospital and can only support the efforts of other groups. Council passed' two motions, one; that the coattail siipport the .hospital board, and the town of Clinton in their efforts to keep the hospital open and also . that the Medical Officer of Health and the County Health Unit present a brief to the government giving reasons not to close health institutions in Huron County and the board suggest alternatives to closing in consultation.. with the hospital planning council. he or she may still be considered a resident, providing a tax return is not filed as a resident of another Province.
