One registered nursing assistant and one ward clerk were involved. A Valinda California family was reunited in Goderich last Friday ending 40 days of terror for a 23 - year -old Spanish speaking mother and her four-year-old daughter. They were held cap- tive in a car since March 17. The captivity came to an end, when a Goderich OPP con- stable stopped .a car in which they were travelling on a license infraction. The ministry of the Environment has an - noun c; . plans to transform the Goderich weal tion into an automated station by Jun . , . he station will be manned by on- ly a m. chine that will feed statistics and data on weather conditions to the network. That will virtually cut-off weather informa- tion in this area. Goderich taxpayers will be asked to dig into their pockets for an additional 7.1 per cent overall increase in taxes. Council hack- ed away at the budget at a special meeting Monday after the Huron County board of Education had made its final figures public. To the average taxpayer, with a house estimated at $50,000 the increase would mean a hike of $47.70 on the tax bill. Most of the increase is eated up by education costs. 25 YEARS AGO Grade three pupils in Huron schools will receive Salk polio vaccinations, Dr. R.M. Aldis director of the Huron County Health unit in Goderich, has been announced. Dr. Aldis said that the unit had been authorized to extend the offer of the vaccine following recommendations of Dr. .Jonas Salk discoverer of the vaccine, for a greater time between doses. Approximately 50 per cent of the spring gains are now seeded with much of the acreage to be seeded having worked over once or twice.

The Schooner Azov will as last year be sailed by her owner, Captain John Mac- Donald. He has four freights booked already. The Azov is one of the best design- ed Schooners on the lakes and is also one of he fastest, and as Capt. John has been Liberal with the paint. She is looking like a fine craft. One of the best looking on the Lake Huron Waters. J.F. Andrews shipped 134 hogs to Toronto on Monday the price paid was $6.65. Man challenges RRSP By Harry L. Mardon Nobody seemed to realize it at the time, but when the Charter of Rights and Freedoms was enshrined in Canada's constitution it opened the door for a revolt by senior citizens. Both rnen and women have taken their employers to court, challenging compulsory retirment at age 65. And they've been winning their cases. .Just recently a woman teacher in Winnipeg whc is over 65 had the Supreme Court of Canada rule in her favor. She can continue in her $40,000 a year job, even though she already is getting $1,200 a month from a couple of pensions. Another interesting case is now before the Supreme Court of Ontario. It involves a Toronto businessman who will reach age 71 this November. This man is challenging federal legislation which makes it compulsory for all owners of Registered Retirement Savings Plans ( RRSP) to "collapse" their plans by the end of the calendar year in which they turn 71. Under the terms of the federal Income Tax Act, at 71 you must withdraw all the money you've accumulated in your RRSP (or RRSPs, as you can own more than one). You have several options of what to do with the money. The least attractive one is to take the money as cash, because it will then be classed as income for the year in which you receive it — and thus will be taxed. If you want to shield your RRSP funds from tax, you can transfer it into a life annuity or fixed -term annuity. The latter are sometimes called tgtrn certain annuities. As well, you can have your RRSP money transferred into a Registered Retirement Income Fund (RRIF 1, where it will remain sheltered from tax. The only tax you will pay after you have transferred the RRSP funds into annuities or a RRIF is on the income you actually receive each year from these retirement income vehicles. But don't forget to claim the $1,000 a year investment income exemption and the $1,000 a year pension income exemption I after age 65) when you make out your income tax return. it's up to you completely what you do with your RRSP money at age 71. You can take some cash, and put some or all of the remainder into an annuity or a RRIF — or a combination of these. However, if you put your RRSP into a life annuity issued by a life insurance company, you lose all control of your money. The insurance company controls it, and will give you annuity payments at a set scale. Much the same happens if you put your RRSP into a term certain annuity, except the TCAs are issued by investment and trust companies as well as life insurance firths. On the other hared, if you put your RRSP into a Registered Retirement Income Fund you will retain a good level of control over your money. You are allowed to choose any RR%P income level between the minimum and maximum level Ottawa stipulates for your age. The level selected may be changed each year, to suit you and your financial needs. We ha' a to wait and see what happens with the Toronto court case before we will know whether that age 71 deadline will remain in force. Meanwhile, that is the law and therefore should be observed for 1985. If you turn 71 this year you'll have to do something with your RRSP funds before Dec. 31.
