income tax course
through U of Guelph
Keeping up with changes can be
frustrating for farmers, especially in the
field of income tax. To relieve the wear and
tear on their nerves at tax time, farmers
cna take a farm income tai,tourse at home.
The Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and
Food sponsors a farm income tax corres-
pondence course through the Independent
Study program at the University of Guelph.
• It's one of 60 home study courses
sponsored by the ministry. -
"The Farm Income Tax course is revised
each year to keep farmers abreast of the
new tax regulations," says Wendy Elrick
of the Independent Study office. "The
course explains the effect of new re-
gulations, and how farmers can use' them
to the best advantage when making farm
decisions."
The course includes a record system, an
explanation of farm income and expense
statements, and step-by-step instructions
on filling out the tax form.
Also included is an explanation of the
investment tax credit and how it affects
machinery decisions. Tax treatment of
marketing quotas is covered as,well.
Other topics of interest are registered
retirement savings plans as a method of
accumulating capital, husband-wife par-
tnerships, and family members as wage
earners.
The farm income tax course in available
to Ontario residents for $50, add to
non-residents for $60. Write the Office of
Independent Study, University School of

Why is it so hard to
see people .as - special,
individual human beings?
Why is it so difficult to
say., "Gee, even though
you look different, you're
a lot like •me"? And why
is it so easy to forget that
regardless of opinions,
personality and physical
appearances, every person
has feelings? I guess if I
knew the answer to all, or
even one of these
questions, I could prevent,
even stop, a lot of the
problems that are going on
'in the world.
Hitler wanted a pure
and unblemished race of
mankind, so he sent, the
Jews to extermination
camps. If his obsessed
mind had been able to
look beyond the less-than-
human stereotype that he
had given to the Jews and
had seen instead the
sensitive people inside,
would the thousands have
died?
Russia . wants power,
control, so she invades
Afghanistan. But . if the
Russian leaders stopped to
realize for one second that
those . uneducated
Afghanese that they 'are

right now? Or what- about
me? How often I feel
myself thinking. "Oh how
I hate those Russians!"
How easy it is to forget

In hockey, basketball
and other sports, whether
amateur or pro, it is so
simple .to see the

that are there only to be
crushed. It is so natural to
accept them as The Enemy

are human beings.
And every day we
forget. When we laugh at
the fat kid walking down

the retarded person in the

of 91,109 in 1979. ;n 1976
the 'figure reached. an all-
time high of 91,702.
The most significant in-
crease is in the area of
fraud offences. This cate-
gory accounted 'for 3,804
occurrences, up 18.4 per
cent from last years count
of 3,212.
The statistics for homi-
cide,: rape and vandalism
have not. changed substan-
tially in the last year,
A 5 per cent increase in
the number of traffic acci-
dents reported brings the
1979 total to 78,585.. The
number of people killed in
OPP-reported traffic acci-
dents was 989, an increase
of 72. per cent.
There were 32 multiple-
fatal accidents in which
three or more persons . died
A total of 118 died in the
32 accidents. Twelve of
these accidents happened
when drivers crossed the
centre • line_ and drove on

buted to drinking drivers.

train for 20 years and this is
the first time I've ever seen
one of the trains arrive on
time!"
"Sorry, friend," said the
engineer sadly, as he handed
back the cigar, "but this is
yesterday's train."
Fraud cases increase, OPP says
Graham. "Over 27,000
Charges for failure to wear
seat belts were laid last
year and I expect, this
high level of enforcement
to continue."
In 1979 the Honourable
Roy McMurtry instructed
the OPP to inaugurate two
major programs to combat
the increasing toll of aeci-
dents.
Twenty-four patrol units
in the Barrie, Mount For
, est, Peterborough and
Downsview areas are
equipped with portable
breath' analysis, units. In a
five-month evaluation per-
iod, 1,115 charges of im-
paired driving were laid
following roadside tests on
drivers.
A successful test project
of enforcement patrols on
major highways using
radar-equipped unmarked
cruisers was expanded ,to
include all of Ontario
south of North Bay.
A further enforcement
measure in 1979 was the
