Farmers open homes.... ..Continued from *Oa have been good,' and some In :On bad, on thinking them over, the Oy that stands first les the week that mai spent with a family named Durst A family so, friendly, good- - natured and kind Our city -cares soon were left far behind, ° • r, We enjoyed every , day to its fullest extent And found many new pleasures wherever we went. From the house to the barn; through the fields, to the dam, We walked and we played, we fished and we swam, And three times each day came, the very best treat... The, most wonderful food; 'Twas a privilege to eat! - 'So now we're refreshed, in body and soul • We've -straw in our hair, and great bulging roll , frbl'ii,: $,1t that good food which we 'et' But we'd happily do it again, you can bet! Now we all want to say, 'to Albert and Phyl, To Gerry and 4Jim, to Debbie and Rill, For all that you,did, from begin- ning to 'end, Thank ' you, thank 'you, and thank .you again!!! "The following note was writ- ten by' a guest who is an English teacher and mother of four; "As the school year . grinds along, and pressure of work to be done piles up, I find myself thinking, more and more frequently of your home and the marvelously relaxing times we have enjoyed there. You've probably heard the same, thought expressed by many people, how the Dursts seems like a tranquil island in a raging sea, both in reality and ,in memory. Even the thought of , you,the farm, and your family has a calming effect" • "Another one simply says, "Just a note, to say thanks for being you." • ' "It's when we and the other farm hosts receive dozens of such warm letters that we realize we have something special to offer urban people and in doing so, have discovered that the greatest benefits "of Farm Vacations are priceless.

' The impact of the Ontario program is shown in a staff paper made public recently by Treasurer Charles S. MacNaughton who said' it justifiesgovernment, concern over an action to offset the regressive—effect of -p -o ert taxation. , Using Guelph, which is representatiw4t*,provip e. a whole'' e' st ay found' property tax credits for 1972 will range from $123 for low in- come families to $50 for those earning' between $10,000 and $12,000. Maximum credit is $250. Mr. MacNaughton said the property tax credit plan was in- troduced 'in the 1972 budget as part of the government's con- tinuing effort to make taxation more equitable. The study, he said, shows the credits made the combined burden of income and property taxes correspond more closely to the ability to pay. The property tax credits replace the' basic shelter grants which ha�re -been in effect in On- tario since 1968. • Property owners in Ontario will be able to claim $90 plus 10 percent of their property taxes less one percent of their taxable income when they file income tax returns early in the New Year. Tenants will be able to claim $90 plus two percent of their rent less one percent of taxable income in determining their property tax credit, Along with tax credits, two additional programs are being continued this year: the 2.5 per-, cent farm tax rebates and the $50 to $100 supplementary tax relief grants to needy pen- sioners. Eventually efforts will be made to 'incorporate special relief for farmers and. pensioners into the tax credit system.

There has been no comparable study elsewhere although other programs in the United States and Britain are discussed in the report.
