Despite the varied adjustments of income tax rates and 'excise levies, the new tax schedule will mean a saving of about $24 during 1953 for the average wage earner in Huron County. Mrs. Arthur Amy Active Church Worker Mrs. Louise Amy, 63, wife of Arthur Amy, died at her home on Saturday after an illness of several months. She was the former Louise Haist, daughter of the late Frederick and Magdelnia Haist and was born in Stephen Town ship. Following their marriage, Mr. and Mrs. A'my farmed in Stephen, retiring to Exeter six years ago. Before coming here, Mrs. Amy was a faithful and active member of Crediton Evangelical Church. Since coming to Exeb.r she has taken an active ryl in James Street United Church being a member of the W.A., W.M.S. and Comrades Bible Class. Surviving besides her husband are three daughters, Mrs, Alvin Finkbeiner (Marguerite), Credi* ton; Mrs. Lloyd Eagleson (Gert rude), of Dashwood, Mrs. John McKay (Dorothy), of Toronto, and seven grandchildren. Other survivors are three sisters, Mrs. Ernest Gaiser, Exe ter; Mrs, Roy Ratz, Shipka; and Mrs. Emmery Fahner, Crediton, ahd three brothers, Wellington Haist, ■ - . wood,, The Although the budget offered savings for everybody they were relatively small for the average Huron County man who earns $2,500, has two children, smokes cigarettes, owns a radio, buys a few books and pays some of his monthly bills by cheque. With a $2,500 income, this man saves less than $2.00 from the time the tax into effect—July end of the year. He’ll save his T_._ license (if he paid it!). If lie’s a smoker puffing a pack a day, he will pay out $15 less during the year. If he buys $15 worth of books annually, lie'll save $1.50 less for them. And if lie writes nine or 10 cheques a month, he’ll save $3.00 a year on stamps. All added up, his total savings in a year comes to $24. So if you’re Mr. South Huron —the averagfe guy in the county —you can figure you’re putting an extra 5’0 cents a day into your pocket, thanks to Mr. Abbott. On the wider terms of the tax cuts, national statisticians rec koned the new budget represent* saving comes 1—until the $2.50 radio ed a saving of $16.90 per Canad ian— on the basis that 14,000,- 000 Canadians are going to pay $237,000,000 less in taxes during 1953. On the strength of this calcu lation, the Huron County man— with a wife and two children— should save $67.60. The difference, of course, was made up by biggei* tax savings in .the higher-income brackets, and by tax relief vor icorpora* tions. ) Stephen; Everett, Dash* and Herbert, Of Detroit, body rested at the R. 0.

Fairfield Forum Protests Legislation It was review night in Farm Forums on Monday night. Fair- field Farm Forum met at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Murray Elliott with 28 in attendance. The broadcast was dramatized and the subject dealt with was “Compensation in Case of Farm Accidents”. A resolution was drawn up in a form protesting the proposed parliamentary bill prohibiting doctors and veterinaries to sup ply medicines to their patients, prescriptions to be handed in to the drugstore to obtain the necessary medicine. This would be a serious handicap to farmers, especially in dealing with ani mal needs, as they have not the building for almost all inter mediate contests.

On Saturday night, the largest hockey crowd of the season—over 1,200— jammed the arena. Centralia ousted Clinton Colts in three straight games and now meet Milverton Royals for the group championshp. These teams tied for the league leadership during the regular schedule and followers predict a thrilling series between the two rivals. Cyclone playdowns are also drawing the fans, especially the “C” round-robin series between Lucan, Dashwood and Zurich. Competition is tough among all three teams and natural town rivalry heightens their battles. Lucan and Zurich are tied for top spot in the series with two wins each.
