Daytime temperatures averaged 85 degrees while the nights dropped to around 75. Mr. and Mrs. Ball went snorkeling on Bucco Reef, en- joyed drives along the narrow winding roads of the island where cars still drive on the left side. Nearing the height of the tourist season, they found many of their fellow holidayers were Canadians along with Amercians and a goodly num- ber of Scandinavians. * * At the "Holiday Home", guests of Mr, and Mrs. C. Van Damme last week were the Clinton Senior Citizens Club who had their first part in the form of a pot luck supper. Gifts were exchanged and printed membership cards were distributed as a present from the vice-president, Mr. N. Truesdell. There was also an auction sale on some small quilts. The Ontario Street United Church Choir entertained for one hour, singing beautiful selections with Mrs. E. Radford and Mrs. E. Wiltse at the piano. Miss Jane Symons ac- companied on her trumpet. A game of euchre followed. Winners were: lone hands Mrs. Viola Lampman; ladies' high Mrs. Harvey Johnston; men's high Mr. Ceriel Van Damme; ladies' low, Miss Sadie Whit- tington; men's low Mr. Roy Connell. * * * Winner of the Huron Central Agricultural Society $50 draw on December 8, was Mrs. David Pugh of Princess Street. * * * There doesn't appear to be any titled of the well-worn ad- monition "Feed the Birds" in a column about and for Clin- tonians.

Peanut butter is an economical source of protein, say food specialists at the On- tario Food Council, Ministry of Agriculture and Food, The "Guide to Good Eating Every Day," prepared by the University of Toronto's Depart,- menf of Nutrition, classifies food into four basic groups: milk and milk products; fruit, and vegetables; meat and alter- nates; cereals, bread, and pastas. Examples of one ser- ving from the meat and alter- nates group are: four tablespoons of peanut butter;.3 to 4 ounces of meat, fish, or poultry; 2 eggs or 1 cup of baked beans. For children un- der 10 years (and persons over 60 years), 11 /2 servings from this group will supply their daily protein needs. Older children and adults require 2 servings a day.

Such bird talk brings to mind the rather appealing poem by Fran- ces Frost: TREE OF BIRDS They must have suddenly remembered in that blizzard-blown December, when food was scarce and singing hard, the mountain-ash in our silver yard. That Day-before Christmas afternoon when the snowstorm stopped and dusk came soon, they flew into our snowy tree with wild and happy min- strelsy. Each chickadee, blackcaPped and merry, feasted on cool and scarlet berries, and till the early .stars grew strong gave us a Christmas tree of song. * * * And while the typewriter is galvanized into action here are a few "Hot Cross Puns" gleaned off a last year's Christ- mas card (full credit to Carlton Cards). Cross a reindeer with an elephant and know what you'll get? I don't either, but you'd better keep it off your roof this Christmas! Cross Santa's sleigh with a Christmas sock...and all you'll get is a stocking with a couple of runners. Cross a bad case of laryngitis with a suit of armour...and you'll have a silent knight. Cross a peppermint stick with an elevator...and you can raise a little cane this Christ- mas. Cross a partridge with a bell...and you'll have a real Christmas wing-ding.

(photo by Milvena Erickson) Revenue Mininster Allan Grossman said today that the Ontario government is developing a continuing policy to protect home improvements from property taxes. Mr. Grossman told a tax con- ference in Toronto that, as an interim move, the government will extend the existing tax moratorium on home im- provements, due to expire at the end of next year, until 1977, Under existing legislation, in- troduced in June, 1971, a home improvement is not assessed, and is, therefore, not taxed, unless it adds more than $2,500 to the market value of the property. Mr. Grossman said he believes an increase in the exemption level is necessary "particularly in view of the sharp rise in property values "dbring the past few years." ."Two key questions we must re'Solve are: What should be the level of exemption? And for how long should it apply?" He said. Mr. Grossman noted that a planning consultant who examined the question of property maintenance on behalf of the government, suggested a $5,000 market value assessment exemption for home improvements over a five-year period. That time period would be roughly equivalent to the financing period if a property owner borrowed the money to make major property changes.

He said that the government must also examine whether the tax benefits for completed im- provements or renovations should be non-transferable on sale of the property. "In other words, the tax incentive would go to the person who makes the property improvements while he owns the property and not be locked into the assessment- taxation system." The Minister commented that it is widely believed by homeowners that if they im- prove their properties, their assessments, and, therefore, their property taxes, will automatically go up. - "This is an exaggerated and generally erroneous reaction, but• we recognize that if people believe they will be penalized, they will be more reluctant to undertake property im- provements." He added that many home improvements do not, in fact, raise the market value of the property by as much as the original cost of the im- provement. "We have found that it is possible for a homeowner to spend as much as $4,000 on his property before the market value appreciates by $2,500," (The present exem- ption level.)
