When you are small, you always dream of that magic day when you have your own car, your own apartment and have a pay cheque coming in regularly. Well, I seem to have accomplished most of that! But then each of those things brings its own responsibilities. First you have to make sure your car is in running order. (For me, that means an almost monthly trip to the garage). Then you have to make sure your rent is paid on time. And probably, the most difficult of all is to plan your finances well enough to stretch that pay cheque over all these other things. With all this to consider, then, it seems grossly unfair that the government complicates your life further by making you ac- count for just about every penny you have earned and spent over the past year, on a form that is hard to read, let alone fill out. Of course I'm talking about the income tax forms. I wouldn't accuse the government of pur- posefully making the forms complicated, because after all, the whole idea is for them to get some money and surely they don't want any more com- plications than absolutely necessary, Nevertheless, it must have taken an awful lot of figuring by several knowledgeable men to come up with a form like that. (Either that or very little figuring by one man not sure what he was doing). The next step the government seems to have taken is to per- suade themselves that the forms really aren't that difficult. I suspect most people have seen that advertisement on television where Fred Davis proclaims that the tax form really isn't "as hard as it looks", and assuring us that not all parts of the form apply to everyone, Now anyone who has looked at the form knows that it would have to be easier than it looks, It couldn't be any harder! But I guess it is like any other government form, expecially one to do with money. I admit that this is my first go at a tax form. For reasons of circumstance I was never eligible to complete one before. (Oh, for the good old days!) That means that I don't have anything with which to compare it, But I must say at first glance that I would tend to agree with Charlie Ferquharson, the Parry Sound tarmer created by comedian Don Herron. He says that all this money will be going to "the department of infernal revenue". So the first thing I do is look at the guide to the 1972 income tax return. I am relieved somewhat by the little note on the front cover: "At first glance, it may appear more difficult than before, but by taking it one step at a time, you should not have any problems." One step at a time: that doesn't sound so hard. At least it is laid out in steps. On to step one. But you don't find step one until the third page of the guide. Pages one and two explain how to go about preparing for step one. It's getting more complicated all the time, and I'm still only on the guide booklet. O.K., step one: Getting ready. I think I've got everything ready, all T4, T4A and other assembled receipt slips. Of course I don't know what to do with any of them yet, but maybe that will come. Step two: Identify yourself. Well that shouldn't be too hard. I've just got to find what page I do that on. Is it one of the blue pages or on the pink one, or on all of them? But then I come to step three. "Turn to page two of the return and start at the top.". Page two? I haven't even finished page one yet. But then I realize that you don't finish page one until you have completed the rest. Seems you start in the middle, work toward the end and finish at the beginning. Finally I locate myself on page two and wonder of wonders, I get a couple of blanks filled out, correctly, I think. But now we're getting into the mathematics of the situation: add on A, subtract B, divide by C, take three percent of that answer and you have the subtotal. Terrific ! I just about flunked math in grade 10. How am I ever going to wade through all this? But after several hours of adding, re-adding, dividing, re- dividing, etc., etc., I get down to the deductions. But then I realize I am going to have to complete part of page three before I can ,finish this portion of page two. And I'll probably have to work something out on page four before I can finish page three. You could get lost just trying to follow yourself around the pages. Combine that with the fact that you have to keep referring back to the introductory pages of the guide booklet, which in turn refer you to another more detailed section of the guide, and you end Sizes 141/2 to 241/2 Arnel and Seersucker $1100 AND UP up with a thoroughly confused, slightly annoyed and exhausted me. And I'm still only on page two, I think, and I haven't even looked at the other blue form or the pink one. So, having a very low tolerance level, and being rather short on patience, I decided to chuck the whole thing until such time as I have regained my composure and enthusiasm for the project. So until then, or until I get some knowledgeable help, my tax forms will stay unfinished, unloved and unwanted. + + + This week the T-A has a new, temporary staff member, Sherry Cecil, a second-year journalism student from the University of Western Ontario. Sherry is at the T-A on an internship program sponsored by the Journalism department for one week each year. In fact, this is how I got my introduction to the T-A last year. It is a terrific way to gain ex- perience, even in such a limited amount of time, and I hope Sherry gains some knowledge and even a little of enjoyment out of her week in Exeter. Lodge hears of UN trip Pride of Huron Rebekah Lodge No. 338, I,O.O.F.

For meeting three the girls are to have their outfits cut out and basted together. Hurondale VII Hurondale VII had their second meeting at the home of Mrs. J. Brock.
