Even if you don't pay income taxes you may benefit from the Ontario Government's new Property Tax Credit Plan, but you must apply by filling in a 1972 Income Tax Return. You'll find a special mauve claim form just for that purpose in the 1972 income tax kit. An explanation of the plan is right on the form. The new Property Tax Credit Plan provides greater benefits for more—the elderly, roomers, boarders, and low income families. If you paid property taxes or rent last year, you may be eligible. Pick up a tax return kit at any post office, if you haven't already got one. And send in both the tax return and the mauve claim form. But do it quickly—remember returns and claims are to be filed by April 30th. Your federal District Taxation Office will be glad to answer any questions you might have.

The second resolution calls for the East day for filing complaints on the preliminary list of electors is toe fixed as the day which is four Weeks' Prior to the day of the election. The third resolution: the intent of the legislation is to satisfactorily dispose of all complaints in the municipality, therefore be it resolved that the revision period be amended to be the date which is four weeks prior to the date of elections in the year in which elections are held and the 10th day of November in the year elections are not held. The fourth resolution asks that the On- tario Separate School Trustees' Association organize a one-day seminar for Separate School representatives on Boards of Education in order that they may study the apportionment of ordinary and extraor- dinary expenditures between elementary and secondary panels; the apportionment of credit re: capital assets between elemen- tary and secondary panels; the effect of unapproved extraordinary expenditures as they affect separate school supporters and public school supporters; and the limitations on building programs which could cause some public elementary schools to no longer house grade 8 students who would be transferred to a secondary school, Will the elementary panel pay for instruction? Will rent be paid by the elementary panel for use of secondary school facilities? NEW-RECORD, THURSDAY, MARCH .29, 197: Even the weather joined in the celebration of St. Patrick's Day by staging the worst storm of the winter. Like the political atmosphere in Northern Ireland, the winds blew wild and fierce, After the balmy warm days during the first two weeks in March, it came as a sudden surprise to a good many folk and they question what is causing these sudden swings. It is nothing new. Lucy had been predicting that we'd pay up for such nice days, but even she remembered when Paul Cleave and the late James Reid had , their gardens all planted on March 17 but she cannot place the year. However, she does recall raking the front lawn at their home on Main Street on St. Patrick's Day about 1916, anyway before 1920, It was a lovely warm day and the ground was dry. When the grass started tur- ning green this year, Lucy in- sisted on the lawn being raked, despite the fact that she was told it was too wet. She also wanted the west border cleaned up, Much to her surprise, she learned that Carl was having the garden at the back door manured and roto-tilled, Right away she knew why! His mouth was watering for green onions out of the garden. When she chided him about forgetting about the border, he replied, "If Tom Bailey had been plan- ting a garden this year, he'd have had his onions all in the ground." However, before the garden soil was worked up again and raked, the snow came. Lucy recalls about 1912 or a year or so later, the river broke up before there was any clear ice for the fishermen. March and balmy days came, The river was clear and suddenly about the middle of the month the temperature dropped. The river froze over and the fisher- men harvested their supply of ice. It was only eight inches thick but clear and clean. It was a Godsend for the fisher- men as in those days there were no artificial ice makers. How many remember the ice plough being operated by a horse cut- ting the regular sized chunks and the teams of horses from Goderich and Stanley Town- ships hauling away supplies for private persons as well as those filling the ice houses at the river and for stores in the village? The cakes of ice were insulated with saw dust, Lucy's parents had no ice cream freezer but as a special treat on a hot day, father would get a small chunk of ice and mother would make ice cream custard in a small pail and pack ice around it in a large bucket. The small pail was alternately turned and the top taken off the small pail to beat the contents. When it was thick and fluffy, ice was packed over the top and thick layers of ofd newspapers over and around the bucket to keep the ice from melting. Winter was still with us on March 17, 1973, hut the snowdrops were white under the priThe trees. Carl dug up clump about four inches square and the same height and potted them for Lucy, They were solid white on top and in four days they had more than doubled their height with 50 blooms. The birds have been coming to the feeder in this storm, Robins, cardinals, evening grosbeaks, various sparrows in- cluding a song sparrow, chickadees, juncos, pine siskins, female purple finch, red and white breasted nuthatches and bluejays. A whole flock of starlings descended on both feeders and it keeps Carl busy banging the back door to frighten them off and also the purple grackles. He has it down to a science now. If he gets up out of his chair and waves his arm, they all take off, But as soon as he settles down they are back again. With the snow on the ground, they cannot walk over the lawn and feast on white grubs, Carl recalled the year 1921 when Easter was on March 27 which, according to the calen- dar is Spring. He had dug a well and cribbed it in 1920 but hadn't filled in around the cribbing when winter came. The temperature went so low that year that the spring water froze solid in and around the cribbing on Easter Day. He also said that there was a very bad storm on March 24 that year. He went to Clinton with horse (continued on Page 7) This is the sixth and last piece in the News-Record's "Guess Who It Is Contest."
