By JACK RIDDELL
MPP Huron-Middlesex
With the 1976 Income Tax filing
season fast approaching I would
like to mention something about
the Ontario TAx Credit System.
As taxpayers are aware,
Ontario Tax Credits are financed
by the Province but administered
on behalf of the Province by
Revenue Canada Taxation
through the Federal Income Tax
system, To claim these tax
credits an Ontario resident must
complete both a Federal Income
Tax return and the Ontario Tax
Credit form which comes with the
return.
Since 1972, when the property
tax credit was introduced the
system has been expanded to
include a sales tax credit, a
pensioner tax credit and a

Political contribution tax credit.
While the property, sales and
pensioner tax credits provide the
largest benefits to those tax filers
with little or no taxable income,
the political contribution tax
credit can only be claimed by tax
filers who still have Provincial
tax payable after application of
any property, sales or pensioner
tax credits to which they may be
entitled,
Ontario Tax Credit claims for
the 1976 taxation year are ex-
pected to total approximately
$435 million with more than one
third of this amount going to
claimants 65 years of age and
over. Therefore, it is particularly
important that elderly persons
file income tax returns even if
they have no taxable income,
Copies of the 1976 Ontario Tax
Credit Guide can be obtained in
the Huron Middlesex Con-
stituency office, Devon Building,
Main Street, Exeter,
Constituents with Tax Credit
enquiries can contact the Con-
stituency office or they may
telephone the Guaranteed
Income and Tax Credit Branch
Information Centre. Long
Distance calls may be placed to
the Centre, free of charge by

For the past• two years, the
Liberal Party has been calling
upon the Minister of Education to
recognize that standards of
achievement in Ontario Secon-
dary Schools have been seriously
declining. Now an Interministry
Report has been released which
confirms many of our criticisms.
The Government has in-
terpreted the findings of the
Study as a vindication, asserting
that 'things are not as bad as they
have been made out to be'.
However, the general public,
teachers, and students have a
different perception.
According to the Report, 72
percent of secondary school
teachers thought that basic
language skills of university-
bound students have
deteriorated.
54 percent of the public and 59
percent of students thought that
basic reading and writing skills
had deteriorated over a period.
A majority of students and
public believe that not enough
discipline exists in our schools.
52 percent of secondary school
teachers thought that university
entrants were not as well
prepared as they used to be,
while-A& percent' thought that
achievement of work-bound
students has deteriorated,
74 percent of students think
that some schools make it easier
to obtain higher marks than
others.
62 percent of the general public
and 63 percent of students
disagree with the statement that
it is more difficult to obtain a high
school diploma than it used to be.
91 percent of secondary school
students, 79 percent of university
faculty and 85 percent of CAAT
faculty believe that a compulsory
core curriculum is needed
irrespective of students' plans or
goals.
Six in every ten secondary
school teachers favour uniform
content for compulsory subjects.
These and other survey results
would certainly indicate a serious
lack of confidence in the existing
educational system,
No doubt in an attempt to
counter what the Ministry of
Education regards as a problem
in communication and lack of
understanding of what is hap-
pening in our schools, the results
of tests and course assessment
and evaluation are held out as
proof that, in reality, the
situation is not as bad as
everyone thinks it is.
There is ample evidence that
the programme of testing
designed for Interface was well
conveived by highly regarded
educational authorities.
Nevertheless, any testing
programme, however well
devised will have limitations.
Good research will always in-
dicate these limitations and offer
speculation on their impact on
the findings. Interface is no
exception,
For example, not all schools
selected for sampling agreed to
participate. The effort to find
replacements was not always
successful,
Many students who were to be
tested - 35 percent - were
absent on. the day of testing.
There was, in the words of the
report, `no universally com-
pelling reason for students to
take the tests and do as well as
they could',
Adjustments were made for
absenteeism but were 'unrelated
to the effect that the testing
situation had on the motivation of
those students who did write the
test'. (Incidentally, several
months ago, questions were
raised in the Legislature about
reports of significant numbers of
students absenting themselves
from the testing.)
To quote from the Report, 'at
no point in the Study was in-
formation obtained
simultaneously on high school
marks, tested achievement and
university success'.
Also, to quote from the Report,
Delay supper
at Brinsley
By GORDON MORLEY
Ladies Guild of St. Mary's
Church, Brinsley, have decided
to postpone their Pancake
Supper until a later date.
Mr. & Mrs. George Prest were
,Tuesday evening visitors with
Niola and Elmer Lewis.
Ladies Guild of St. Mary's
Church, Brinsley, decided to
cancel their February meeting
because of the snow and bad
roads.
Earl Lewis is a patient in St.
Joseph's Hospital.
Charles and David Corbett
attended the annual information
meeting held by the Ontario
Syrup Producers Association in
Ilderton Wednesday.
Miss Niola Lewis is a patient in
Strathroy Hospital.
Adam Durand spent Tuesday
afternoon with his grandparents,
Mr. & Mrs. Jim Morley.
The_ average married couple
has already spent next year's
salary and hasn't paid this year's
bills.
`the plain fact is that the lime
frame for the conduct of the
Study was so very short not, it
must be admitted, without reason
-that corners had to be cut, both
in the collection of the data and in
the analyses of them'.
This Interface Report was
produced as a result of a contract
awarded by the Provincial
Government to the private
consulting firm of Stevenson and
Kellogg Ltd. to investigate the
roles and responsibilities of
secondary and post-secondary
educational institutions. Those
surveyed by the consulting firm
included the general public,
secondary and post-secondary
students and teachers, all of
whom agreed that the develop-
ment of language and math skills
should be the primary goal of
secondary schools.
College and University
teachers cite the lack of uniform
(or province-wide) standards,
Secondary teachers include a
decline in academic standards,
weakness of the credit system,
lack of uniform standards and
curriculum content.
