NEW INCOME TAX
PROVISIONS.
We would particularly draw to the
attention of our readers an advertise
ment which appeared in a recent issue,
inserted by the income tax division of
the department of national revenue,
and outlining the new installment
plan for payment of income tax. More
people in Canada will be required to
pay income tax this year than ever
before, and many who have never paid
it before will this year be paying it
for the first time.
Canadians, like their fellow citizens
in every part of the empire, are mak
ing every possible sacrifice to speed
the day when the allied forces will fin
ally and permanently defeat the un
principled aggressors of the dictator
ruled countries, and bring freedom to
the downtrodden peoples of the rav
aged small nations of Europe. With
neutral U.S.A, bending every effort to
help our cause, every citizen of this
country must do his part in achieving
victory.
The government has made possible
the payment of income taxes by in
stallments over a period of eight
months. Now it should be realized
that there is no choice of the eight
months in which to pay. If you are to
take advantage of this plan, and with
out payment of interest, you must
start payment in January. In the ad
vertisement to which we have referred
the income division has set forth in
very simple language the details of the
plan. It tells you if you are assessable
for income tax. It tells you how, and
when, and where to pay it, and how
much your tax will be.
The man or woman who is eligible
for payment of income tax is throw-,
ing money away if they fail to take
advantage of the plan presented, so
the wisest thing is to take a little time
off and study the advertisement thor
oughly, so that a proper understand
ing of the legislation might be obtain
ed.
During the coming year there are
going to be many calls upon your pat
riotism. You are being asked to sup
port the war savings certificate drive.
You will be asked to assist several war
charities in the month of March. You
will be asked to buy war bonds, and
there will be other calls upon the av
erage man throughout the year. To
be able to pay income tax in monthly
installments is a special privilege, and
every citizen liable to income tax
should study the plan, and make ar
rangements to take advantage of it be
fore the end of this month.

SAFETY AS WAR MEASURE
A plea for “Production With Safe
ty,”. for the coming year, is made in
the latest bulletin of the Industrial Ac
cident Prevention Associations. Pro
per instruction to employees, together
with adequate supervision, is urged as
a major effort towards achievement of
the goal of the safety slogan.
Production with safety depends to
a large extent upon the manner in
which operations are performed and
on the use of machinery guards de
signed for specific operations. Lack
of guard adjustment, as well as fail
ure to observe safe work practices,
has already — in the first few days of
1941 — resulted in permanent disabil
ity claims being filed with the Work
men’s Compensation Board. “What of
conditions in youi- plant?” safety com
mittees and industrial heads are asked
in the Associations’ appeal.

“ISING-GLASS” GOES TO WAR
Over the Empire’s sea lanes today
<ail the ships of freedom, all carrying
their precious cargoes that will help
tlie Empire and her Allies defeat the
cruellest tyranny the world has ever
known, And mica, one of the most
useful minerals in Nature’s under
ground storehouse, plays no small part
in the great parade of essential war
materials.
Mica is perhaps best known as a
heat and electrical insulator and it is
found in varying amounts in electric
Irons, toasters, condensers and other
appliances of that kind. It's use in
mechanized warfare, however, has pro
gressed by leaps and bounds because
of the tremendous demand for heat
proof materials, and because it an
swers such requirements better than
anything else. AU-three of the fight
ing services benefit from the use of
Mica. Ordinary spark-plugs used in
automobiles are unsafe in airplanes,
but a mica sparkplug provides high
resistance to mechanical and thermal
shock and renders the work of the gal
lant Allied airmen that much safer,
The exhaust pipes of high-speed
fighter and bomber airplanes use mica
for insulation purposes. Lenses of
goggles, smoke helmets and gas masks
too, are made of clear, transparent
sheet mica. And electrical apparatus
of all kinds, essential to carrying out
mechanized defence and attack, is aid
ed in one form or another by this min
eral.

Canary Seen Here Sunday
Other communities have reported
flowers blooming, snakes and fish
worms, crows and robins in many
parts of Ontario. But the honors must
go to Listowel when a citizen reported
to The Banner on Monday that a can

day. Mr. Philip Miller at the west end
of the town, said he heard the song
of a canary across the street and went
to investigate. When he approahced
the little songster it flew back across
the street and he got a good look at
it, leaving no doubt in his mind as to
its being a canary.—Listowel Banner.

Last week George Looker brought
an egg into this office that deserves
special mention. Measuring eight by
seven inches, it tipped the scales at 5
ounces, so you can imagine its size
compared to an ordinary Grade A egg
of 2 ounces. The egg was laid by an
ambitious hen on the farm of Bill Ni

Mr, Geo. Maines:
Geordie — For more than twenty
years, in sunshine* and in rain, in the
sweltering heat of summer and the
cold biting sub-zero winds of winter,
through dust, through mud, through
drifts of snow, whenever it was at all
possible for man or horse to travel on
our roads, you daily carried His Maj
esty’s mail on Route 3.
You must have handled thousands
of letters, newspapers, magazines, and
we believe with a minimum of mistak
es. But for all this you received your
pay. That was the service you con
tracted to give, and we know you per
formed your duties faithfully, your
years of mail deliverer is proof of that.
We, the people on Route 3, are sor
ry to hear that you. are quitting your
job. We do not forget the hundreds
of services you rendered us, services
not contracted for, but nevertheless,
apparently cheerfully given, the little
errand done, the parcels carried, the
‘nipples for baby's bottle, the worm
tablets for Willie, the lipstick for
Mary, the tobacco for Dad, the bread,
the meat, the canned goods, the dry
goods, hundreds of things needed by
us when we were unable to get them,
for ourselves. We may{ not always
have shown our appreciation at the
time, but now that' you are leaving us,
we would like to impress on you that*
we have appreciated your services, and
as 4 little mark of that appreciation,
we would like you to accept from us
this chair. It looks like a comfortable
chair, and we hope you find it so, and
that you may be spared many years to
enjoy it.
Signed on behalf of the people of
R. R. 3, Wm. J. Dobie, Fred Toll,
Leonard Cook, Alf. Nesbitt. The pre
sentation was made by Wm. Dobie
and Fred Toll. Mr. Maines thanked
his host of friends in his usual pleas
ing manner. Lunch was served by the
ladies.
