BIRTHS
WUBS—To Mr. and. Mrs, John
Wubs, R.R. 1, Clinton, at Clin-
ton Public Hospital, on Tues-
day, January 30, a daughter.
District residents bewildered
by the intricacies of their
simplified income tax return
form and befogged by the cleric
fled rules of the annual holdup
take heart.
Until deadline day, this paper
will publish a series of income
tax questions and answers that
may solve some problems.
Here's the first instalment:
Q. Where should a taxpayer
write to find out when he will
receive his refund or if his
return was properly completed?
A. Don't ordinarily write
anywhere. To do so just delays
the processing of a return or
refund because it takes staff
from these operations to an.
swer such letters. The depart.,
boa ,meat alegeoglve priority to re.
II i refmldi rehumseand anyedelay ex es
pierenced will, eithermbe due,
to the volume of returns being •
received or the need for ad-
ditional information. But be
sure to supply any information
requested as promptly as pos.
sible.
Q. What are the various
circled and uncircled numbers
on the return used for. Should
I be concerned with them?
A. No, ignore these numbers
as they are used in computer
processing only. Also avoid
making any entries in the
column to the right-of the white
blocks ,as this area is to be
used for departmental purposes
only.
Q. My wife's uncle is we.
employed and is living with us.
Can I claim him as a depen.
dant?
A. Not unless he is men.
tally or physically infirm. If
he is, you claim' the amountyou
actually spend on his support
up to $550.
Q. I purchased a rental pea
perry part way through the year;
Is capital cost allowance re.
stricted to the period in the
year during which I owned the
property?
A. No. You are entitled to
claim full capital cost allow•
ance each year so long as you
own the building at the end
of the year. The cost of land
is not subject to this allowance.
Q. If I receive an advance
from the Canadian WheatBoard
when is .this money taxable?
A. You should include it in
your income for the year in
which you receive it.
Q. My wife and I were
married in September. She was
working before marriage but
has not worked since. Can I
claim the full married exempt,.
tion of $1,000 for her,? What
does she do about filing a re.
turn?
A. Yes, if she received no
income after your marriage
you may claim the full mar.
ried exerription of $1,000. It is
only income She received atter
your marriage that affects your
exemptions. If your wife is tax.
able or had tax deducted from
her salary, she must file her
own return, Her exemptions
are liOt affected by her mar.
nage.
Q. I hive received moat of
the information slips for toy
iocomb tAx tettrn but I am
still waiting, for one of theta.
SWIM I file my' -return with.
out this slip?
A. No. please wait =Myatt

intention to get the "most

Miles did suggest that

bylaw, especially the sections
affecting tree cutting in areas
of the county where clearing

a certain amount of ground

cular areas of Hay and Ash.

of brush would increase the

Children's aid
makes appeal
Miss Clare McGowan of the
Children' s A id S ociety made an•
other appeal to Huron County
Council at its January session
to try to understand the role
the CAS and the feelings of those
the Society serves..
She urged the welfare officers
of each municipality to get in
touch with the CAS office when
a family makes its first era.
plication for assistance. Miss
McGowari explained that if noti-
fied, the CAS can often give
advice and help before the situ.

either parent is experiencing
personal or social problems.
"With the Government's

homes said Miss McGowan,
"we are enlarging our scope of
family counselling. We want
people with problems to feel
free to come to 180 Victoria
Street North in Goderich be.
fore matters get beyond help."
Following a, question from
one councillor regarding the
long period of time which lapses
before children are placed in
adoptive home, Miss McGowan
observed that many couples are
searching for a particular kind
of child.
"You'd be surprised how par.
titular adoptive parents are;"
said Miss McGowan, "and after
all they have a right to be se.
lective. When you are adopting
a child, you should be able to
get what you want. But some.,
times it takes time to put the
right child with the correct par.
eats."
"Many people ask for a fair,
curly headed, blue eyed baby
girl." she remarked. "That '
