Gooderham pool with lifeguards and swimming in- structors to- date, but the Recreation Board may have remedied that situation at their regular monthly meeting last 'Week. The- problem was the money the town was offering for the job. At. . last year's wages a lifeguard received. $1.90 an hour and a swimming instruc- tor received $2.00 an hour". The new wages approved by the' rec board are, $2.25 an hour for a lifeguard and ,$2.45 an hour for a swimming instructor. With this added incentive the board hopes to overcome , the staff barrier and provide the Goderich swimmers with protection this summer. firtiLfKTRICIAN;Ays WERE TIRELESS WOR/(ERS YOU WILL f/ND,li'EEP/INC PR/CE AIgD QUALITY ALWAYS /N MIND +BUDD KUEHL• at - HURON PINES ELECTRIC 88 King 81.

N c ODERICH 524-8670 pl Gaunt says farmers getting unfair break over land fax Murray Gaunt, MPP for Huron -Bruce, went to the defense of the Ontario farmers over. the Land Speculation Tax that is proposed for the sale of land in the province. Mr. Gaunt feels the farmers are not getting fair treatment under the terms of the bill that would heavily tax monies earned from the.. sale of land. t The bill as it now reads of- fers a tax exemption if the land is sold from father to son or within the family. Mr. Gaunt expressed a need for the terms to be extended for tax exemp- tion if the farm ' is going to remain in food production disregarding the purchaser and his relation to the seller. Mr. Gaunt used a %hypothetical case to illustrate the difficulty a farmer would have if the taxwere applied to his purchase of the land. • "As I understand it, if . a neighbour not related to the vendor purchased the farm, the tax would apply, and • in the case of a circumstance where there was some difficulty in - determining the amount of the tax, then there would, in effect, be a cloud on that title," said Gaunt. Mr. Gaunt pointed out that most farmers taking in new land cannot avoid 'using the land as security for a Farm Credit Corporation mortgage. He went on to say that until the farmer paid the tax the title to the land would still •have that cloud over it and the proper • security would not be available to the farmer so he could finance production of the land. The Huron -Bruce member then expressed fear at the possible results of this con- fusion. . "I think the \vhale.matter'of obtaining mortgages under the Farm Credit Corp. program would. be thrown. into chaos"., he said. He added • that the added problems of ownership brought on by the tax would only lengthen .'the time taken for" mortgage. processing. . "Dear only knows, we have enough problems getting these loans processed. In the normal' course it often takes up to a year and if there are any problems "at all the loan ap- plication gets bogged down in the legalese. It's. thrown back and forth between •the lawyers for the Farm Credit Corp., the vendor and the purchaser and the first thing, you know, 12 months haave gone by," Gaunt complained. Mr. Gaunt told the legislature that he has been one of the people that time and again has said . that good far- mland should be preserved for agricultural production. He maintained 'his" belief in effec- tive taxation as a' tool to be used in., order to do that. But he suggested that the proposed -bill would not gain these ends. ' He referred to farmers as th forgotten lot in society being forced to live on very low in- come in order to continue far: ming. He argued that the only pension a farmer could ac- cumulate over these years was Visitors welcome at Bruce the appreciation of Wand. "Many farmers in this province and in the country have stayed on the farm in the thought* that when ,,,they sell they will be- abler 1,to get a • relatively good chunk of money out of it, and that in effect would be their pension for far- ming all 'those .years on very low income. This tax is going to remove that option from them. They are not going to be able to do that under the terms of this bill," he said. Mr. Gaunt 'closed off his remarks to the Legislature by saying, "A farmer who has far- med his land for 10 years is in no way a speculator, no matter for what purpose he sells his land in -the end."
