Fill 'in this form as soon as it is received and mail it back in the envelope in which it came. Please do this promptly —it is in the interests of your children. The form you will receive is very simple. There are only.seven questions and only a few minutes need be required to complete the form, but be sure to answer every question. Family Allowances are being provided to assist parents in the raising of their children. This monthly allowance is to be used for health protec- tion, for doctors, dentists and nurses; to provide better food, adequate clothing and shelter, and to help equalize oppor- tunities for all children. MYIS YOU ARE HELPING YOUR CHILDREN WHEN YOU REGISTER FOR INCOME TAX: No one will benefit from both Family Allowances and a full income tax deduction for their children. Parents have the choice of applying for their Family Allowances or not claim- ing the allowance and clainiing the full deduction for their children under Income Tax. If they claim the Family Allowance, the amount of deduction from tax allowed for children under the Income War Tax Act will be reduced by the amount of any Family Allow- ance received. Anyone who is uncertain whether or not he or she will benefit from Family Allowances more than from Tax Deduction should register for the Family Allowance and in this way be on the safe side.
