Joe Clark as P M (Continued from Page 1) Conservative they're going to vote some members into the House of Commons. "When you take a look at what's going on in Ottawa, spending has gone completely out of control," he said, He added that spending estimates used to be brought before parliament and each member had the right to question those estimates in the house of Commons. Now they are sent to different committees and the estimates had to be passed by May 31 of that year no matter what. "All he, (the Minister of Finance) had to do was get to May 31 and it was passed whether members of parliament agreed with it or not." He said that Joe Clarke would bring estimates back into the House of Commons and would give Members of Parliament a chance to say what money would be spent on. He said that (taking the estimates out of Parliament) was one of the reasons why spending had gone from $12 billion when Trudeau came into power to $52 billion now. "The by-elections last fall showed the way. With the help of all Canadians across the country -- witl. every constituency that we have, Ontario can almost do it itself(put the conservatives into power) if they put their minds to it. By Lyman Macinnis, CA Varying employment op- portunities between re- gions of a province or the country as a whole have led to a very mobile work force in Canada, as the flight of moving vans and rental trucks along the nation's highways testifies. When a move is made as a result of changing work circumstances, most General financial advice by members of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Ontario. reasonable expenses in- curred as a result are tax deductible. These include: • travelling costs, as well as reasonable ex- penses for meals and lod- ging for the taxpayer and family; • transportation and storage costs for household effects; • costs for up to a total of 15 days of meals and temporary accommodation near either the old or new residence; "We've got to hold that momentum and keep it up to May 22," McKinley said. Guest speaker Geoff Scott who used to be a parliamentary correspondent for CFPL-TV in London said that right now he was fed up with metrification. He said that difficulties in conversion to metric are impounded by the fact that in the U.S., the Americans only use metric on a voluntary basis.. "I am convinced that. Canadians are being unfairly treated concerning the scope of metric direction. "There has never been an accounting to the people of Canada particularly of the tremendous cost of trying to go metric," he said. He also said that our metric form, European metric and U.S. metric were all different. He said he would suggest that his party take the following steps—that metric conversion should be voluntary and paced to the tempo of the U.S. and that for the protection of the consumer that all packaged and canned goods should have the size in both metric and imperial units. "1 firmly believe that the consumer is getting ripped off." "I think it's high time as with so many other things that the wishes of the majority of the Canadian people prevail," he said. He said that one of the reasons he got out of reporting and into parliament was that, "when you see the loyalty and dedication of a man like Bob McKinley I feel that there can be na higher calling than doing something for people in Canada, "I became heartsick watching what Pierre Elliott Trudeau was doing to my country and what was more painful was having to report it," he said. "My viev,s about the Liberal government in Ottawa have hardened. I was convinced that if the law hadn't required Trudeau to call an election, Mr. Trudeau would cling to power with or without parliamentary trad- itions. "His excuse is he doesn't think anyone else can save Canada. The irony is that's what people elected him to do back in 1968. He turned east against west, French against English...just as he's determined to get his hands on the constitution clinging to such B of E budget The Huron County board of education approved its 1979-80 budget last week increasing mill rates for, public school supporters by an average 8.4 per cent. In a special session Thursday night the board had the budget explained in detail by superintendent of business affairs Roy Dunlop. The special meeting was arranged to permit politicians in any of the county's 26 municipalities to discuss the $23 million document with the board. Dunlop told the board that the average increase of the mill rate as a result of the education budget varying effects on munici- pal budgets, depending on local mill rates. He said the board of education has nothing' to do with setting local mill rates, all it does is determineeach municipality's share of the costs to operate the education system. The lion's share of the $23 million in total costs for education here is picked up by the province of Ontario. After subtracting various board revenues and grants from the ministry along with the province's share of salaries and transportation costs the amount to be raised through taxation locally was reduced to $6.9 million. The main culprit in the budget was salaries. Dunlop explained that it was unfair to focus on any one salary hike in the system because each had unique circumstances. He explained that the increase that appeared at the secondary school teacher panel was an inflated figure because of the 31 day teacher strike a year ago and the two year pact that was signed after that strike. He said the reduced costs as a result of the strike made it appear as though handsome increases had been given the teachers and that wasn't so. He meticulously explained the affect the teacher strike had on the incredible power which could give him the tightest control of any prime minister in our country," he said. Mr. Scott said that one thing to do was to make sure that every one of the conservative candidates got in,riding by riding. "That will enable Joe Clarke to get in, Joe Clark will almost certainly be the next Prime Minister," he said. Mr. Scott told his audience that he's one candidate who makes as much use as possible of Joe Clark and his image in his campaign and he urged them riot to be discouraged by articles about Joe Clark's ordinariness. "Will Joe Clark make a great prime minister? I don't know. I can't tell you if he'll make a great prime minister. I do know that history and the people of Canada will find. Joe Clark a better prime minister than we've had for 11 years and I thank God for that," he said. ups taxes budget pointing out that had withdrawl of services not happened the board would still be looking at an eight per cent increase. But the budget made one fact clear. The major expense in any one area in the entire education system is salaries. Payroll eats up a total of 76 per cent of the $23 million the board spends in a year. Dunlop said the bulk of the money spent inf the budget is beyond the control of the board. He said salaries have to be treated as fixed costs as well as debentures, loans and operating costs. He said he had not calculated how much of the budget the board had to work with but estimated that the maximum amount would be 10 per cent. The superintendent told the board the majority of concerns department heads had for the coming year had been handled. He said one area not adequately funded was aesthetic maintenance. He told the board there was "no way in the world the schools can be 'kept like they were five years ago. We just haven't the money to do it." R.M. McVean, plant superintendent, explained that aesthetic maintenance in- volves things like stripping floors and rewaxing them and major housecleaning projects. He said there is too much work to be done by caretakers to permit time to be set aside for those projects. He added that the board owned buildings were not suffer- ing because the jobs could not be done. Every week more and more people discover what mighty jobs are accomplished by low cost Post Want Ads.

DOLLAR sEnse Deduct expenses • costs of cancelling a lease for the old residence; • selling costs in con- nection with sale of the old residence; • legal fees and transfer taxes in connection with the purchase of the new res- idence, provided a res- idence was owned at the old location; The latter would include advertising and legal fees, real estate commissions, and mortgage prepayment or discharge fees incurred in the sale of the old res- idence. It would not include any capital loss incurred on the sale, however. One of the provisions of the Income Tax Act is that your tax deductible ex- penses can be claimed only against income that you earn after your move. This is aimed at preventing a taxpayer from claiming the deductions when his real. purpose for moving is to re- tire in a different location. The circumstances under which these deductions can be claimed are when you cease employment at one location, and begin employ- ment at another, whether with the same employer or not, and when you move your business from one ' location to another. Both the old and new lo- cations of employment or ,business must be in Canada, and the new res- idence must be at least 25 miles closer to the new work or business location than the old residence. When a taxpayer is self- employed, he must bring all his business activity in the old location to an end in order to qualify for the deduction. Expenses in- curred in moving after closing a seasonal business are not eligible if you plan to re-open next year. A Post Classified will pay you dividends. Have you tried one? Dial Brussels 887-6641.
