NOTICE
Retirement Savings Plans Eligible for
INCOME TAX DEDUCTIONS
The Income Tax Act (Canada) was recently
amended to permit individual/ taxpayers to
deduct from their income, within certain utnits,
premiums paid for retirement savings plans in
1957 and later years.
The savings portion of either anew or an
existing life insurance policy may be quali-
fied as a retirement savings plan. Existing life
insurance policies therefore need not be Iiur-
rt zrdered in order, to take advantage of this tax
relief.
The possible advantages of the deduction
should in each case be considered in rela-
tion to' the restrictions required by law to be
included in a savings plan to make it eligible
for the deduction, and to relation to the policy-
holder's own particular tax circumstances:
Policyholdersinterested in the new deduc-
tion should consult their life insurance under-
writers or their companies.

some had felt was a dangerous
spot for small children, has been
drained and may be filled in later

the Agricultuja1 Park frog pond
in the same serious light as Coun- I

Blake reported, "I've had five fel-
lows in here complaining it was a
favorite play spot for the people

Councillor Robertson before he
finished his report. "Vag roller's
