May 12, 1966 7 Page If a farmer subtracts $600 from his net income and multi- plies the remainder by 3.6%, he'll find what he pays into the Canada Pension Plan, accord- ing to Ontario Department of Agriculture Farm Management Specialist Donald McArthur. "Any farm operator with a net income of $800 or more must contribute," he adds. "For instance, if a man's net in- come is $3, 000, these would be his calculations: $3, 000 - $600 equals $2,400; $2,400 x 3.60/0 equals $86.40. Therefore he would pay $86.40 to the Pen- sion Plan annually. If any farmer's contribution is more than $40, he is required to pay two thirds of it to the Department of National Reven- ue by December 31st and the balance by ApriI.30th of the following year. Mr. McArthur asserts that this is not income tax, nor is it to be confused with the Old Age Pension. It is enforced savings. There is al- so an income maximum of $5,000 on Pension Plan con- tributions. Thus, the person with a $5, 000 income will make the same contributions and receive the same benefits as a man with a $15,000 one. If farm employees earn more Rabies and Warning Signs D. G. BUTLER D. V. M. Department of Clinical Studies Ontario Veterinary College University of Guelph In our veterinarian practice since early fall, we have noted a rise in the number of cases of rabies in farm animals. Cases have occurred in all ages of cattle, horses, and pigs, Generally, people think of this disease as occurring in ani- mals pastured in heavily wood- ed areas with abundant wild- life. This, however, is not al- ways true. We have seen cases in pigs which had never been out of the barn. Also. it is well to remember that an ani- mal that contacts rabies may not show signs for up to five months after being bitten, de- pending upon the location and depth of the wound and the amount of virus deposited into the wound. Many people feel that a ra- bid animal will always drool saliva and become wild but this is not the case and, in fact, the signs of rabies are many and varied. Livestock owners would do well to consult a veterinar- ian in cases where animals show a change in behavior, signs of weakness or paralysis, or dif- ficulty in swallowing as well as these other signs. Because of the grave impli- cations when humans are ex- posed to rabies, one cannot be too careful, especially this year with the apparent higher inci- dence noted in the Guelph area. period in OMSIP, the Ontario Medical Services Insurance Plan yesterday has been extend- ed ? weeks to May 16. Cover- age still begins on July 1, The Minister of Health, Dr. Dymond said the extension is necessary because many pen-, sinners are confused, some wrongly believing they have been enrolled in the scheme automatically. OMSIP enrolment totals 1,100,000 persons plus those re- ceived in the last few days which could bring the total as high as 1,250,000, OMSIP has facilities design- ed to handle medical insurance for about 2,000,000 persons, Apparently the confusion has arisen over the difference be- tween Old Age Security pen- sioners and Old Age Assistance pensioners. Persons on Old Age Assistance are automatically enrolled in OMSIP but those re. ceiving only Old Age Security pensions must complete appli- cations if they want OMSIP coverage. than $600 annually, then they must also contribute. In such circumstances, the employer pays half of the contribution. For example, if a farm laborer earns $3, 000, including room and board, then he and the farmer he works for must each contribute $43.20. Install- ments must be deducted from each pay and paid by the 15th of the following month to the Department of National Reven- ue. After the first installment for each employee, the De- partment of National Revenue will send the employer a form so that future contributions may be paid at the bank. Before de- ductions can be made, how- ever, the employee must have worked twenty-five days for the same employer and have earn- ed $250. Anyone who has in- vested in the Pension Plan for ten years and over will receive the total pension which is ap- proximately 2510 of his average annual earnings over that period, If the pensioner is between 66 and 70 years of age and Is earn., ing more than $90 per year, he will receive only a portion of this pension. The same ap- plies to people who have been contributing to the Plan for less than ten years,. Mr, McArthur notes. that, while the Plan is not only worthwhile for future .senior citizens, it also benefits widows, orph.ans, and disabled persons, Milk, its major competitor, in view ,of this price change, George Ivloi.aughlin, chair- man of the Milk Marketing Board pointed out that the $5.29 cwt. price would place multi- milk in the same category as fluid milk, In addition he star, ed that any other price structure would be unfair competition to the fluid product. In recent years multi-milk sales have, been cutting into fluid milk sales, particularly in Northern Ontario. Consumers have been switching to multi- milk solely on the basis of price. Multi-milk is simply ordinary milk with the water content greatly reduced. The consumer adds water prior to use. The manufacturers of multi- milk objected to this price change and met with the Milk Commission to appeal the de- cision of the board. As a re- sult the minister announced the decision to reduce the price to the producer to $4,85 per cwt, The first open enrolment What Are Farmer's Costs In Canada Pension Plan? 10
