With a Dutch, English, French back- ground, plus one Canadian Indian grandparent, he is a big, healthy boy with blue eyes, long black lashes, brown hair and olive skin. A placid, easy-going boy, he enjoys company but can amuse himself contentedly with his toys when no one is near. He loves paper and one of his favorite games is to tear it up. Shawn likes to be on the floor where he travels by pulling himself along on his stomach. He' is used to children and likes, to watch them playing. There is a history of drug-taking in, this baby's back- ground so he needs parents to whom this would not .be a worry. They should be people who will want to give their new son a great deal of attention and stimulation without presSure. To inquire about adopting Shawn please write to To- day's Child, Department of Social and Family Services, Parliament Buildings, Toronto 182. For general adoption information ask your Children's Aid Society. 1111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111I1 Huron Cancer Society hold meeting in Goderich Are you taking full advantage of the tax savings that are available through Registered Savings ' Plans?

Thursday, Morph 1970 Questions and Answers on tax TODAY'S CHILD Tothato'rekgratn Syndicate W.I. hold monthly meeting Are you in the market for a new stove? If ao, the first thing you must decide is whether you want an electric or a gas unit. Then you must cheese between the various brands and features that are available today. Do you want a freestanding stove, a built-in unit, counter elements with a wall oven, or the type that has an oven &eve and below? These are the questions you must settle before making your purchase. Take time to compare prices, The price of stoves can vary from store to store as well as from brand to brand. Besides the initial cost, you might have to consider financing jt. The least expensive method of paying of any appliance is to pay cash. If you can get a discount, so much the better. If, on the other hand, you plan to buy it on credit, check what it will cost to borrow the money (in dollars and cents as well as in percent of interest), from such sources as banks, credit unions, and finance companies and then compare these rates with those being charged by the store, The majority of free-standing gas and electric models are 30 inches wide but they also come in 24-inch widths. Some smaller ones are also available in the 201/2-inch and 22-inch widths. Features such as oven light, oven window, oven timer, minuteminder and raised edges to prevent spills are generally considered standard equipment nowadays. The elements, the porcelain drip bowls,and the chrome rings should be conveniently removable for easy cleaning. Automatic oven timers are now commonplace, These allow you to place food in the oven, set it to start at a certain time and leave the house knowing things will be all right in the oven department. The oven timer is almost universal and can be set to warn you when things are "done." Warning lights when the elements are on and for oven pre-heating are a necessity. An appliance outlet is most convenient — especially when it can be timed so that your coffee can be ready and waiting when you awaken. • Interior oven finishes can be of either porcelain, enamel or stainless steel. Some brands have removable oven doors and wall panels for easier cleaning. Removable liners of aluminum foil or Teflon-coated side panels can assist in oven The 50,000 Ontario residents who learn by letter, will have to brush up on their three R's if they want to keep pace with new correspondence courses to be offered by the Ontario Department of Education this fall. , In today's modern educational system the three R's are reading, writing and research, said J. F. Rees, assistant directory of the Correspondence Courses branch. Mr. Rees said that the new unit courses to be introduced, although shorter, will require more work by students. While most of the correspondence courses are composed of 20 lessons, the new unit courses Will have 10 lessons, Completing two units earns a student the equivalent of a regular course. The aim is to break up their study and retain their interest. Among new unit courses scheduled for introduction this fail are; archaeology, ecology, pollution, readings on flight and a contemporary science fiction course. Also under preparation is a unit course on the mathematicS Sr6 YOURS 4.° 3MICERELY 441(// • • - 1111:1 joaii,_ LOO LOW 4gie 406021L Gt7wip, ddY WISE rti,KpoWALItiiith THE I'LACC 402-7401 cleaning. The disposable foil liners are quite expensive, but can prevent build-up on the oven walls. They have to be repl4ced from time to time. The Teflon panels offer easy removal of oven grease — they are removed and washed in the sink. Care must be taken not to scratch the surface coating. Self-cleaning ovens promise to dominate the market in the next few years. At the moment, a self-cleaning oven costs from $40 to $130 more than the conventional style. The current method of self-cleaning uses temperatures of up to 900 degrees for a two-hour cleaning cycle and requires only the occasional removal of a resulting fine ash, There is a safety lock to prevent opening the oven while it is dangerously hot. It costs from five to nine cents per cycle to clean but this is less than the usual'oven-cleaning chemicals. Many appliance guarantees will use simpler, more straightforward language in the future but in the meantime find out what the guarantee actually includes. Does it cover the entire product or only parts? For how long is it in force? Who pays the labor charges? Does the guarantee cover delivery and hooking up of the appliance? What charges are you responsible for? Keep your guarantee handy for easy reference. It is advisable to purchase only stoves that have either the approved label of Canadian Standards Association or the Canadian Gas Association. Most manufacturers of kitchen stoves have their own service outlets in cities across Canada. Cheek this out before calling in a repairman. Read the instruction book carefully to avoid unnecessary repair calls. (It has been known for a consumer to run up a $7.50 service charge just to replace a fuse!) Keep your appliance manual at hand — it' can help you get more value for your money if you study it. Before you invest in your new stove, it might be wise to get all the available information you can get from various sources, Utility companies have home economists on staff to help you. Also get the facts from the retail stores who handle appliances. There is also a buying guide on stoves available on request and free in single copies only from Consumers' Association of Canada, 100 Gloucester St., Ottawa 4. of finance. It will give students a basic understanding of mortgage rates, interest rates on loans and charge accounts and how to deal with mortgages, bonds and annuities. The course is aimed at enabling people to work out their own calculations on financial matters basic to today's society. Mr. Rees said the two most popular courses offered by the branch are English and Mathematics because they are the base for most other studies. Recent introduction of the new mathematics has proved highly popular with parents who want to be able to help their children with homework. - Courses are free to Ontario residents who want to improve their academic standing. The student Can work at his own pace and may be doing Grade 11 mathematics while doing Grade 13 English. More that 90 per cent of those taking correspondenee courses are adults who, for a variety of reasons, are unable to attend regular or night school classes.

You will find instructions on dealing with this type of income in the Guide which accompanies your tax form under the heading "Income Taxable at a Reduced Rate." Q. My wife and I are separated but we do not have any formal separation agreement. However I do pay her an allowance, How do I go about claiming this allowance on my income tax return? A. You may not claim the allowance as a deduction but, if the allowance is sufficiently large to constitute support, you are entitled to claim married exemption as if you were still living together. Q. I use my car at work from time to time but my employer does not pay me anything for the use of the car. When I fill out my tax form can I claim any of the expenses incurred operating this car? A. If it is necessary for you to use your car at your own expense in order to carry out your regular duties, you may be entitled to deduct a portion of your car expenses in computing your income.

A. A person may Pot be claimed as a dependent if he has an income of more than $950. While it was Possible for your father to receive the Old Age Pension and still qqalify as your dependent if he had virtually no other income, receipt of the Guaranteed Income Supplement would raise his income to an amount well in excess of the $950 maximum and he would, therefore, no longer qualify. It will be the same this year if he continued to, receive the Guaranteed Income Supplement. Q. I have two bank accounts and the interest of one of them was less than ten dollars so I haven't received a T5 slip. Does this mean I don't have to declare this amount of income when I file my tar return? A. Interest credited to your bank account is your income regardless of whether or not you received a T5. Q. During the year I worked for two employers and each. employer paid me over $5,200 in the year. Consequently I have paid double Canada Pension contributions. Can I get this money back? A.

March is honey Month Agriculture Minister H. A. (Bud). Olson , has, proclaimed March.rational Honey Month. "Honey is one of Canada's most glamorous foods," Mr. Olson said. "I suppose one might say that milk and honey rank as the silver and gold among foods." Mr. Olson has also proclaimed March as Good Seed Month and noted that it seems fitting that farmers are promoting both products at the same time. Bees are necessary for the successful production of many Canadian pedigreed seed crops. Indeed, some of the best honey is produced by bees pollinating these crops. Mr. Olson urged housewives to buy Canadian honey, especially during the month of March.
