Credit buying With Christmas just around the corner and with the Canadian public poised for °a record-breaking buying season, the 153 -member Associated Credit Bureaus of Canada reminds each Canadian to shop wisely sb that the Christmas spirit doesn't overwhelm individual installmentpayment capabilities. M. T. Pearson, General Manager of the Association this week said that the .best way to ensure a Happy Christmas and New Year is to make sure that new credit obligations don't overtax the household budget. "Credit is, of course, widely used in Canada today and I hope the public, especially the young people who have just entered the, • economic mainstream use this service wisely," Mr. Pearson said. He' reminded the public of the basic ground rules which the Association and its member Bureaus across Canada believe provide the surest means of successful money management. * Keep a close watchon how much of your salary is earmarked for instalment payments. ' No more than 20 percent of your salary, excluding rent or mortgage payments should • go out in monthly installments. This is suggested as a general guideline and will vary according to size of family and other circumstances. * Consider the additional ipayments in relation to your budget. * Make as big , a down payment as possible. And pay off the balance as quickly as possible. * Make your credit payments on time, not a day, a week, or a month late. This will remain a favourable credit history for you to enable you to obtain future credit wheh needed. * Make sure you are dealing with a reliable merchant before signing a purchase contract. If you are, not happy with what you have purchased remember — you still have to, pay for it. "If you follow these rules, you should not move into 1970 with an extra -heavy debt load," 11�lr. earsd z sale: "Credit is and will continue to be a mainspring 'cif the economy and it does provide a sound means to allow' Canadians to enjoy all the benefits of our modern economy. "But credit also ,puts an obligation on each consumer to handle— his financial affairs properly," he said. "By following these basic credit rules,.. everyone should have a happy Christmas," he said. iEMI B 11, 1969 ..o„?:r.. Mr. and Mrs. John P.

For many CBC WEEKEND staffers, yachting's the thing. In fact, Neil Andrews, executive producer of the Saturday Edition of CBC WEEKEND, claims the CBC Information series has the largest concentration of sailors of any television sho4,' anywhere. Andrews himself sails a Shark out of Queen City Yacht Club. Producer Alan Ritchie `crews' on Snorkell II out QCYC. Producer Bill Craig sails a Lightning out of Toronto Sailing and Canoe Club. Director Jim Shaw crews on Nirvana (QCYC). Script assistant Pamela Jones sails a Fireball out of Ashbridges Bay. And film editor Ron Piggott sails out of the National Yacht Club. It's not surprising then, that Maitland River From "Twenty of rnv best" BY MICHAEL FORAN . The southerner sings of the broad Mississippi, The Irishman praises the Shannon and Lee,.. The Mersey and. Severn are dear to old England Where Kingsley sang sadly his Song Of The Dee. The Scots say that braw are the Doon and the Afton And bonnie the banks of the beautiful Clyde, But fairer than all is a stream -called the Maitland, Ah, happy the days that I spent by its side. Ontario rivers are brimming with beauty, The Don and the Humber, the Credit and Grand, The glittering Thames' is a ribbon of silver, But still I shall dream of that picturesque land Where,t e.Mattland.flows out from,the Highlands,of Huron From dltington County and uppermost Perth To gently meander through Wingham and Auburn Through fields that are fair as the fairest on earth. You. may love the St. Lawrence, the roaring Niagara, Whose turbulent waters rush mile after mile, You may praise the Blue Danube in poem and music, The'Hudson, the Tiber, the Rhine and the Nile, There -are rivers -a -plenty-, -hi , But all of their glories I'd gladly forsake, To be standing again on the cliff -top at Goderich Just watching the Maitland roll into the lake. RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY TAX REDUCTIONS FOR 1969 A Special Notice to Tenantsand Landlords T enants in apartment buildings should re- ceive a little extra money this month under the Ontario Government's property tax reduction system. The system eases the burden of municipal -,- and school Saxes on home- owners . and tenants. In effect, the Province is pay- ing part of the property taxes for each eligible house and apartment. Tenants -should receive theirreductions on or be- fore December 31. Many tenants who vacated premises earlier in the year will have already received their reductions. Here is what should happen: IF YOU ARE A LANDLORD... You must pay the full reduction to tenants who have occupied your premises throughout 1969. Pay- ment must be made, on or before December 31, 1969. A tenant who moved in during the year and is still occupying your premises must receive one -twelfth of the total reduction for each month of tenancy. It must. be paid on or beforeDecember 31. A tenant who mpved out during the gear must receive a, similarlypro- portionate amount within 30 days of the date he terminated his tenancy or on December 31, whichever is earlier. •.THEIREVDENTIAL PfOP RTS' TAX REDOCFIONA (196 (jis an . lded) If a tenant is in arrears, the tax reduction may be deducted from such ar- rears. However, the reduc- tion must not be withheld because of, damages or losses. • IF YOU ARE A TENANT... You should receive your reduction from your pres- ent landlord on or before December 31, 1969. If you moved ,out of an apartment during theyear and have not yet received your share of the reduc- tion, you should contact your former landlord immediately to make sure he knows where to send your pay- ment. Tenants in apartment buildings' such as duplexes and highrises are - usually eligible for the tax reduc- tion. Tenants of flats or basement apartments in houses may not qual- ify because the premises they rent are not separately assessed. For example, roomers are not eligible. If you are unsure of your status or eligibility, contact your municipal tax office. IF YOU ENCOUNTER PROBLEMS... You should either telephone Toronto 363-7501 or write the Municipal Sub- sidies Branch, Department of Municipal Affairs, 801 Bay Street, Toronto 181. Officials are available to assist you. Pamphlets outlining details of the 1969 tax reduction system can be ob- tained on request. _ THE DEPARTMENT OF MUNICIPAL AFFAIRS Hon. W. D4rcy Mae iugh, finnister CBC WEEKEND should schedule a film feature on yachting. Neil Andrews got the idea while cruising on the Bay of Quinte last , summer when he noticed that many Americans were sailing Canadian -built and Canadian -designed yachts. Andrews asked a number of the American yachtsmen about their preference for Canadian boats. They told the CBC producer -sailor they felt Canadian yachts were as good or better than similar craft built in the United States, adding that Canadian -built yachts were superior in .workmanship to anything they could purchase at home. To top it off, the Americans said the Canadian J leisure hours yachts cost less than their U.S. counterparts. • So Andrews and several of his producers decided to film a story on sailing yachts of a cruising -racing class, designed and constructed in Canada for domestic and export markets. Producer Alan Ritchie of CBC Toronto, using ' a Shark as a camera boat, filmed the Queen City Yacht Club and Island •Yacht Club regattas late last summer. To date he. has filmed Sharks and craft of the HR 28, HR 25, Viking 28, Redwing 30, and Dushka V• class. CBC producer Dick Bocking will film highlights of the Vancouver Boast Show in late February, plus interviews with sailors and designers attending. Tentative telecast date of the yachting feature on CBC WEEKEND is Saturday, Feb. 28; the program is seen on the CBC -TV network immediately after Hockey Night in Canada. • ' If any yachting enthusiasts have 16 mm. color film or good quality 35 mm. color slides that might be used - in the documentary they're invited. to send them to Neii Andrews, CBC WEEKEND, Box 500, Terminal "A", Toronto, Ontario. The film should be only of Canadian -built or Canadian -designed yachts of " the cruising -racing class. Anyone • submitting such film should include his name and return address. • ---yam. iQ•6 r 000 IN am ame Nee Ing me ow on we so we 1 WITH THIS COUPON ONLY. � i 1t 1 1 20% OFF REX RAY HEAt LAMP KIT SOOTHES MUST 'JLAR ACHES & PAINS * Adjustable holder * Safety guard * 6 feet of cord * Switch, * Built-in reflector concentrates heat * Amber infra -red "bulb IRIECK` i PHARMACY 1 1 1 1 1 I OPEN _.411111 —M—Ill•— INN Mil MO 1 More fun to run $41 Here's the new snowmobile that's more funp Q run.
