How good a driver are you? Letter Editor to the The Editor, The' Ontario Retail Sales Tax should he• abolished. It is unfair, awkward 'to collect, and presses most severely on •those who can least, afford it. If Ontario imposes income tax, it should end sales tax. In 1968-69, sales tax produced -about $485,587,552.53. Provincial income tax eollected by Ottawa was $620,475,685.33.

At 1969 rates, a married man with a wife and two children earning $90.00 weekly, paid about $62,40 per year in Provincial income tax, or about 11/4 per cent of his income. He paid five per cent pales tax on what he bought, subject to exemptions; a higher percentage in sales tax than in income tax. The little man pays the same five per cent as the millionaire and must spend a higher proportion of his income 'just to survive. Income tax is at least progressive and ranges from nothing on incomes under $1,100.00 with higher percentages on higher incomes. This is fairer than sales tax. Sales tax is awkward to collect.

No one enjoys paying taxes but if taxes are to be levied, tiles, should be fair and equitable, but the Ontario Retail Sales Tax It should be abolished. " JOHN C. MEDCO Continued from Page 1 addition at Seaforth Public School. He said 201 persons have now signed the petition in favor of the Seaforth site. "And we . understand a building project at Seaforth should cost less than at Walton," added Bolton. One lady asked the board how the whole issue got started in the first place. She learned that a small group of McKillop ratepayers represented at the parent-teacher discussions in the county last winter asked that the board indicate what its proposal would be in regard to the McKillop situation. This was done at a public meeting in Seaforth and from that, current differences of opinion developed. Vice-chairman Robert Elliott told the meeting in his opinion there was•absolutely no way the board could solve the problem without disappointing some McKillop ratepayers. "If there was no choice in the first place, then the first meeting was out of order," stated one McKillop observer. "If there is a choice, then let us have democracy." During the meeting with the delegation whieh took about one hour, some McKillop ratepayets claimed . they had not been FOUOW SMOKEVIS ROLES CAREFUL to crush all smokes dead 'out.

A good driver signals; always. When you do signal for a turn, do you do it soon enough? A good rule of the thumb is to have that signal on about 90 feet before making your turn. When making a right hand turn, do you stay as close as possible to the right hand curb? We have seen some drivers actually veer to the left and then ;flake a wide sweeping right hand turn, very. ' often coming dangerously close to 'oncoming traffic. Do you come to a complete stop at all stop signs and stop lights? Some drivers believe that they can reduce their speed to a crawl, look both ways and if the way is clear proceed through the intersection. Boy, do they face a traffic charge! Do you always give the pedestrian on the crosswalk the right of way. If you don't you are not only a bad driver but a mighty discourteous one. When you drive do you give complete attention and concentration to your driving? Or are you like some types. whose . head is turning continually talking to his passengers. Before you get out of your drivers side door do you check for passing cars first? The inexpert driver opens his door without looking back. He can look forward to a damaged door and a traffic charge- if he continues this practice long enough. Do you always have an "out" when an emergency does arise? A good driver is always on the defenSive. He thinks ahead and is ready for the unexpected at all times. When you drive do you keep up with traffic? Or are you the slow, uncertain, hesitant and overly cautious type? Caution is a good trait, but the overly cautious, slow drivers do cause accidents. Do you fully realize the importance of having your vehicle periodically checked for cefety? The stupid driver is more concerned with operating his vehicle with the absolute ' minimum of maintenance and care. There you have it,' 10 good indications as to whether or not you are a good driver. Regardless of what some people say, a good many years experience does not make a good driver. We have seen motorists who have been driving 20 years or more and would fail a modern driving test. The Ontario Automobile Association feels that the time is rapidly coming when all drivers should be tested at least once every five years, preferably oftener. Do you still think you are a• good driver? Why not stop in at your local Drivers Testing Centre and ask for a copy of the test given to new drivers. 'Take the test. You may be amazed at just how little you know about driving. • Obituary MRS. MAY JACKSON In Santa Barbara, California, on August 13, 1970, Mrs. May Jackson, widow of Dr. E.

Others expressed concern that some McKillop taxpayers had had more than one opportunity to have their opinions added to a poll or petition. • The . board met in committee-of-the-whole to make its decision regarding the McKillop issue. The motion to build an addition at Seaforth was moved by Mrs. Kunder and seconded by Harold Moir, Winghatn. Discussion lasted almost two hours on the question with John Henderson holding out for fair treatment for all ratepayers in McKillop. . Henderson's arninendnient to Mrs. Kunder's •motion was to appoint a committee consisting of the board members, all superintendents, the principal of Seaforth DES, the .'principal of Seaforth PS and the board's transportation official to give more study to the situation. It failed to gain the board's approval.
