HomeMy WebLinkAboutClinton News-Record, 1969-11-13, Page 3I can't believe it. I just can't
imagine that the Trudeau
administration has actually
taken my advice, Who says this
column isn't widely read?
What do I mean? Well, wasn't
it less than six months ago that
the subject in this column was
the serious tax inequality. I
remember begging for legislation
so I could claim bibYsitting and
transportation to and from work
as ligitimate business
expenses.from work as
legitimate business expenses.
And now the Trudeau
government has put the
machinery in motion that will
accomplish this. 0 happy day!
But just as I predicted, the
masses are screaming in protest.
"Trudeau hasn't done a
thine they taunted. "Why
doesn't he show us what he
means by a just society?" That
was the cry last week.
This week it is "What is he
trying to do? Ruin the •
country?"
I think it is good legislation
and I'm sharpening my pencil-to
vote for Mr. Trudeau in the next
election.
I'm no genius when it comes
to tax reform, but I have
surmounted a few monetary
disasters in my time. The
principle is always the same—to
spend more, it must make more
or cut back. Sometimes it even
necessitates making more AND
cutting back.
To my mind that's what
Pierre has just done in the past
few months. Good sound
thinking I'd say.
Funny though. The folks who
seem to be hollering the loudest
are the same ones who have been
causing all the problems in the
first place. It is the newly-middle
class crowd who are
complaining—the workers who
have been rebelling and striking
and working themselves into an
early grave. They have just
arrived—big house, nice cottage,
two cars, a small boat and a
Varna
comfortable 12 or 20 thousand
per annum.
You hear a few outraged gasps
from the upper crust, but it is
the newly-arrived who really
take this tax announcement to
heart,
They were the guys who
couldn't, find •much compassion
for the farriilY down the road
trying to manage on $3,500 a
year. They looked down their
Vic Tanny-tanned noses at the
"contented" poor and spouted
wise sayings like "They haven't
got much but they're happy" or
the familiar cliche "Sometimes
you wonder if it pays to work
like a dog. We'll all wind up with
a shovel full of dirt on out
heads." At last the little guy is
getting some kind of break. I
think it is time.
But I was simply amazed that

The Clinton Cross Trailer
Square Dance Club held its 1st

What
Is
Your
Preference?
BY FRED McCLYMONT
liThe November Meeting-of the,:
tyteighnrch waRbeld
1 ,Rhiirsday evening with a
large attendance.
The president, Mrs. Charles
Reid, opened the meeting with
prayer. The devotions were in
charge of Group Two led by
Mrs. A. J. Mustard.
The theme was
Remembrance. A poem was
recited by Mrs. Sherlock Keyes.
The scripture lesson was read by
Mrs. Harvey Hayter and Mrs:
Roy Elliott led in prayer.
The offerhig was received by
Mrs. M. Morrison and dedicated
by Mrs. Keyes. A highlight of
the evening was a number of
pictures shown by Mrs. Mary
Ellwood of Clinton which were
taken on her recent trip to
Switzerland.
The business period was
conducted by the president.
There were 60 calls made to sick
and shut-ins during the last
month. A donation—was made to
the work of the Children's Aid
Society.
Reports were given by the
delegates who attended the
Presbyterial which was held
recently in Walton United
Church. Mrs. Robert Taylor
spoke on the work of the
morning session and Mrs. Watson
Webster on the afternoon
session.
The meeting was closed with
prayer. Group One served lunch.
EXPLORER GIRLS
The Explorer group which •
there was legislation for the
working mothers too, Man, that
was terrific. As a part-time
worker I spend something like
$425 a year on baby-sitting
(quite reasonable, really). That
takes a neat little bite out of my
pay but I don't really mind it
because I have a working
husband who picks up the tab
for most of the necessities in
life. I can just imagine the bind,
though, if .1 was the sole support
for my family.
And the $150 work expense
for the ordinary working man
was needed. If the president of
some large concern can claim his
cottage as a legitimate business
expense because he uses it to
entertain the important clients,
then my poor husband should
get something off for his
legitimate business
expenses — like simply getting to
work!
Debate will last a year I hear.
It will probably take that long to
hear all the different opinions of
where the government is lacking.
I serve public notice in this
widely read column that I'm in
favor. I have to be. After all it
was my suggestion in the first
place.
Clintonian
