Local women attend teacher's meeting ik. mailer of principle ' Trailblazers 4-H
BY J, CARL HEMINGWAY horse club meets
The Trail Blazers 4-H Horse
Club held its second meeting
Wednesday, Jan, 26 at the
Malcolm's home,
The meeting started at 8:30 and
was opened with the 4-11 Pledge,
Margaret Franken read the
minutes of meeting one.
The new executive was elected
at this meeting. They are as
follows; president, Jim Brigham;
vice-president, Cathy Malcolm;
secretary, Ken Fidorn;
treasurer, Margaret Franken;
What
mean
For the past two years—
following "Mr, Benson's White
Paper" we have heard a lot about
the new tax proposals, Now that
the changes are no longer
proposals, but are in fact law; we
continue to hear even more. One
theme that seems popular is
"don't worry—the average
taxpayer has nothing to be
concerned about. All this about
capital gains and valuation day
does not apply to the average
taxpayer." But, what about
farmers? They may he glad to
hear they are not considered
average; in fact, they must be
considered special. Because the
farmer is a business man, he does
have a number of things to be
concerned about.
What are they?
A new Provincial Succession
Duty with increased exemptions,
but double the ol,d rates,
The $10,000 once in a lifetime
gift of farm property is out—you
can still make gifts of $2,000 to
one individual—up to a total of
$10,000 per year.
You can still file on the cash
basis—but all new capital assets
must be depreciated on the
diminishing balance basis.
No more basic herd additions
except for the year 1971—when
filing this year prior to April 30.
If you sell milk quota this
year—then 20 percent of its value
will be added to taxable income—
eventually 50 percent will be
added to income.
Those buying quota can
depreciate one half of it—at 10
percent per year.
Capital gains tax is effective as
of January 1, 1972.
What should a farmer do now?
What can he put off for a few
months?
From now until April 30,
everyone will be filing their 1971
returns under the old rules. This
gives some breathing room; a
chance to learn more details
before filing next year.
The main thing that farmers
can do now is: record a present
fair market value of land,
buildings, machinery and existing
basic herd. This should go on all
records—such as CANFARM,
accountants reports etc. In a few
years these records may be very
valuable assets. How do you know
what value to place on these
capital assets?

the first one),

This is the safest way, He is a
professional and his judgement
will likely stand up in court.
However, it could cost $150 -
$800; and there are very few who
are qualified, We know of only a
few such men. CAUTION—An
Accredited Appraiser will have
the initials A. A , C ,I. following his
name. He will also tell you how
much it will cost prior to any
agreement. BEWARE of
strangers who solicit work. The
report by an Accredited
Appraiser does not need to be
done immediately. An appraisal
done in the next few years can
provide the documentation as to
the value on December 31, 1971.
A real estate man will give a
letter of opinion for $50 to $100.
'An auctioneer could give a
similar opinion on the livestock
and machinery.
A do-it-yourself project. This
may not be wise if you live near a
city and expect the land to go up
quickly in value. However, my
guess is that for most farms, the
Department of National Revenue
will accept realistic appraisals
done with care by the individual
owner, Record as much
information as you can think of.
LAND—year of purchase and
purchase price, particularly if
recently purchased—an
agricultural value, as well as a
present market value—sales of
similar properties—condition of
development, clearing, leveling
or tiling—productivity of
property—a detailed sketch of the
.property, showing powerlines,
bushes, roads,:..„,:permanent
buildings—location of nearby
property that may affect presdrit
valuation.
BUILDINGS AND
MACHINERY—structure,
material, year constructed or
purchased,' major repairs or
changes and condition.
BASIC HERDS—number of
animals, age of animals,
productivity of animals, (R.O.P.
or D.H.I.A. records) weights of
animals, similar sale values.
Take a few pictures.
Don't send these records to
anyone—keep them in a safe
place. When you sell the farm you
will need this information. And if
you spend your remaining days on
the farm, your children will say
"My, wasn't he ,a smart old
fellow."

Sothe strike of the Air Transport Controllers continues, according
tolte radio news report as I write. As usual the Main bone of contention
is wages.
In our complex and diversified economy I find it extremely hard to
match the vast difference in monetary return to service rendered. How
mech more is the work of one man worth than that of another? It was
reported recently that Doctors have the highest income. This has been
the case for a great many years to the point that public opininon accepts
this as normal because they supposedly carry the burden of the health
of the ;nation on their over loaded backs. I wonder if this is justified, I
may be wrong but it would be my opinion that the lowliest job would be
that of garbage collector or sewage disposal labourer. True, in these
latter positions the education and, I suppose, the skill required is at a
minimum. but should a man be paid for the schooling he is able to attain
or for the service he renders to society?
If all the Doctors were removed from any of our large cities would
the result be any more damaging than the removal of all the garbage
collectors and sewage disposal workers? Could our modern medical
profession overcome bubonic plague if all our sewage and garbage was
dumped out the back door of our high rise apartments?
The second big argument that is used to obtain monetary reward is
the stress factor. I can quite easily understand the stress on the doctor
in treating a patient when he realizes that the slightest error on his part
means the death of.a patient but I can also visualize the stress of
heaving stinking garbage cans up on a truck eight hours a day, five days
a week for 47 years—from 18 to 65 years.
Now for the Air Transport Controllers Strike!
On a recent T.V. interview an Air Transport Controller was
justifying their demands for higher wages,$24,000 (or are they getting
24,000 and striking for more), He pointed out that they work under
tremendous stress, at times with as many as 30 planes on their radar
screen at one time, hundreds of passengers on board entrusting their
lives to one man to get them safely back to earth. Suddenly the radio
crackles from 50 miles out (five minutes away) "Passenger has heart
attack. Must land immediately". The Controllers blood pressure
explodes! How can he get that plane down through a maize of 30 circling
planes to a happy landing? And that third plane in line has only four
minutes fuel left and can't make another circle. There is time! Get
those three planes down in a minute and a half, hold the other planes in
orbit. That leaves three minutes and a half to get the patient on his way
to the hospital. However, it isn't that simple. Normally the incoming
plane would go into the circle from Which it would break out at the
proper time to come directly down on the proper runway. The
emergency prohibits a circle. The Controller must get detailed
directions to the pilot so that he can get his plane in such a position that
he can hit the approach to the right runway directly from his flight path,
Yes, the stress is almost unbearable on the one man, and he must take it
all, alone. This I can understand. What I can't understand is how an
additional one, two, three, or 50 thousand a year is going to relieve the
tension on this Controller so that I will have a better chance of getting
back to earth more safely.
It seems to me that this danger of tension fatigue could be overcome
much more effectively by putting the salary of two Controllers in the
pot and hiring three at 16 thousand, which is a fantastic income to most
of us, and thereby shorten the time of tension to a bearable time.
Could Bobby Hull, Bobby Orr or any other national hockey league
player go out and play six games a week, instead of the usual three, just
as effectively if his salary was doubled?
I'm still convinced that there should be little difference in the life-
time income of persons. Those who enter a profession such as farming
at 18 should get a lower yearly income than the doctor who studies till
27, but I can see no reason for any difference in their life-time
earnings. Can you give me any arguments to prove that a mother who
devotes her lifetime to raisinga family of responsible citizens should
receive a lesser reward than her Air Transport Controller son?
