Be sure you get a// your tax credits
By Linda Francpscutti
Information Officer
In this time of rising costs,
it’s good to know that, for
many Ontario residents,
there’s help available to
offset property taxes
through Ontario Tax Credits.
The Tax Credit form is
straightforward and easy to
complete. For many people,
the filing of this form will
result in either a rebate or a
reduction in provincial
taxes.
The program is a major
one. Budgeted this year at an
estimated $435 million
dollars, close to 60 percent of
Ontario’s tax filers can
expect to benefit by this
program.
There are four credits.
Homeowners, renters and
roomers are eligible for the
Property Tax Credit. The
Sales Tax Credit may be
claimed by anyone over 16
who is not claimed as a
dependant on someone else’s
income lax return. Senior
-Citizens are eligible for the
Pensioner Tax Credit.
If you made a contribution
to a registered Ontario
Political party, constituency
association or candidate in
the 1977 Provincial election
and have an official receipt
to support it, you may claim
the Political Contribution
Tax Credit.
The Property, Sales and
Pensioner Tax Credits are
designed to give assistance
to moderate income people
and senior citizens to offset
the impact of property and
retail sales laxes. The
Political Contribution Tax
Credit encourages par
ticipation in our political
system.
It is easy to claim your
Ontario Tax Credit. Simply
file a federal income tax
return together with an
Ontario Tax Credit form.
Mail the completed package
to the Taxation Data Centre
in Ottawa. Refunds are
usually back in your hands in
less than six weeks.
Want to know more about
Ontario Tax Credits? Call
the Ontario Ministry of
Revenue. Dial 965-8470 in
Metro Toronto, or ask the
Operator for Zenith 8-2000
(toll free) from anywhere in
Ontario.
Now's the time to check
the farm drainage system
Ponded areas and stan
ding water often indicate
problems in farm drainage
systems, says Ross Irwin of
the School of Engineering,
Ontario Agricultural
College, Guelph.
“A tile-drainage system is
an investment. To justify its
cost, it should continue to
operate efficiently. Keeping
the system open and func
tioning properly is
necessary for good land
drainage.”
Professor Irwin says
drainage lines of many older
systems are spaced too far
apart to operate efficiently.
Wet patches between ex
isting lines is the symptom
of this problem.
“These areas of standing
water can be eliminated if
you upgrade the system by
splitting. Adding these extra
runs of tile between existing
lines will make the system
more efficient and will drain
surface water faster.”
Ponded water over tile
lines can also indicate
broken or plugged tiles
below. Farmers can
eliminate the poorly-drained
areas by digging down and
making repairs.
Holes or depressions over
tiled field are indications
that mud and silt have wash
ed down into the drains. Tile
lines in such areas should be
dug up and cleaned.
Finally, the drainage out
lets should be examined.
Outlets and screens should
be in place and repaired,
“Farmers should make
sure outlets are above the
bottom of drainage ditches.

n the history of the automobile, only a
handful of developments have equalled in
importance the new VW
Rabbit Diesel engine.
Of course, the diesel
engine is nothing
new. It’s been
a super-reliable
workhorse in
trucks, buses
and heavy equip
ment for over 50
years. But now,
VW engineers
have developed a
diesel engine that
does everything
a diesel does, plus
a whole lot more.

The Rabbit Diesel engine is
based on the Rabbit gasoline
engine block. It's more efficient
and lighter than all other
production diesel engines.
The Rabi
breakthrough.
Diesel
First it is one of the most
advanced, fuel efficient
engines in the world today.
The new Rabbit Diesel engine
has transformed a car that
uses very little gas into a car
that uses no gas at all. Using
diesel fuel, it provides out
standing driving economy.
The VW Rabbit Diesel
is the only production
model
automobile
available
with
a driving economy
rating of over 100
kilometers highway
on a single gallon
of fuel.* It’s the
most fuel-efficient
car you can buy in

something you can forget about. Also,
diesel fuel acts as a natural lubricant.
The result is that diesel
engines have a proven record
of longer life expectancy.
According to Forbes magazine,
“Diesels last longer, break
down less and emit less carbon
monoxide.1’**
The Rabbit Diesel is fast.
Diesel powered
cars, historically,
have never been
known for getting
off the line in
a big hurry. The
Rabbit Diesel has
changed all that.
Automotive writers
from the editorial staff
of Auto Zeitung (Auto Journal) speed-tested
the Rabbit Diesel under the scrutiny of the
French automobile commission. Under
grueling trials, the Rabbit Diesel established 31
World Records for 1500cc diesels.
The Rabbit Diesel will
never need a major
lune-up. Ever.
The Rabbit Diesel
engine is based on the
same block as the
gasoline engine, but it’s
missing a few things.
You won't find
spark plugs, an ignition
coil, a distributor, points,
condenser or carburetor. The diesel engine
doesn't need them. So a major tune-up is

The Rabbit we put the diesel engine in is
the identical car we put the gas engine in.
Which makes it the most affordable diesel-
powered car around.
And, like the Rabbit, the Rabbit Diesel has
more useable carrying space than any other
car its size.
It also has front wheel drive, independent
suspension on all four wheels, rack and pinion
steering, a dual diagonal braking system with
front wheel discs, steel belted radial tires, fully
adjustable reclining bucket seats, and an elec
trically heated rear window defroster. In fact,
the Rabbit with the diesel engine, like its gas-
driven twin, is packed with enough technolog
ical innovations to fill a book.
When the gas-powered Rabbit was first
introduced, automotive writers called it “The
car of the future". And soon, there were all kinds
of cars on the road trying to look like the Rabbit.
So it’s fair to suppose that in the years
ahead, you’ll probably be hearing a lot about
diesels from other car manufacturers.
Just remember you heard it here first.
