Bribes Not Exempt
It may toms sis a bit of a shock to
cine people to find owl that bribes are
riot income tax exempt. If you have re-
teived a bribe from someone, according
to the law you must report it as part of
your income or else be prepared to be
charged with cornmiting a fraudulent act.
Of course, the natural thing for one who
is so immoral as to accept a bribe, will be
e think he can further escape the penalty
of law by not reporting it to the income
tax office.
It's also interesting to note that if the
company you work for pays the traffic
:fines levied against you, you must report
the amount you've actually received with
which to pay those fines. You broke the
law and therefore, technically, you must
pay the penalty. Fines and legal expenses
resulting from breaking the laws of the
land, are monies which are not tax exempt.
The question is now raised, "Would
money spent in legal procedures fighting
the type of eases just mentioned, be con-
sidered tax exempt or not?" — (Nanton

My Contribution
Fall is taming. School has started.
Other fall activities will begin. The com-
munity will take on new rife again. The
question is, "where do I fit into this pic-
ture?" "What contribution will I make
toward the life of my community this
season?"
Many people are content to let the
other fellow do it. Too often only a
handful of people assume all the respon-
sibilities involved with community activity.
This is not fair for either those who take
The responsibility or those who shun it.
I've a contribution to make; and in all
fairness to myself and others I should
volunteer to assume my rightful share of
Community life responsibility.
My contribution need not be large nor
conspicuous but it should be made. No
one will force me to it. I must volunteer
c=f my own free will. I could become an
active member in a service club. a local
organization. a church. a self-improvement
society. a political party or something of
this nature.
If I war-: tc gi et alone and not be
involved in an organization, I could make
monetary contributions to help keep it
alive, I could contribute worthwhile news
items to the local paper. I could start
a one-man or one -woman campaign to
brighten people's lives by making a friend-
ly and neighborly call every day on some-
one who needs a helping hand, There are
literally hundreds of things I could do
to help niy community if I would just de-
termine to do something by way of con-
tribution toward my responsibility far
keeping my community alive.
This is not a plea to those who are
already involved in a dozen community
projects; although even these may be able
to do more. This is a plea to those who
have done little or nothing more than exist
in their community. Make a worthwhile
contribution this year, Surprise yourself
and others. You'll find life is more worth
while living and you'll be pleased with the
general response you'll get from those who
you work with. My contribution will mean
more to the world than I thought it would.

Avoiding "Strike" Pitfall
Common sense prevailed this week
when 127 Ontario farmers. representing
about 11.000 of their fellow -farmers. took
• vote on "strike" action, The vote was
100 to 22 against a proposal that concen-
trated milk producers should declare a
"strike". Being interpreted. the proposal
was that Ontario farmers who sell their
milk to factories that make milk powder
or concentrated milk, should stop deliver-
ing to the factories. and let their milk go
to waste.
The arithmetic c.f the problem is that
some milk processing plants have cut the
price paid to farmers for milk. to S3.11 a
hundredweight. The farmers who own the
:ows think they should get at least $4.00
r•. hundredweight.
To an outsider. not involved on either
Fide of the argument. it does appear that
:free cents a pound for the product of a
farmer's work leaves little room for profit,
after he has assumed, the costs of owning
end operating a farm and a herd of cows.
The fallacy lies in equating the farm-
er.' position with that of factory workers
who are getting $3.11 an hour for their
labor, and go on strike because they want
$4.00 an hour. it is conceivable that by
striking against management, and shutting
down the factory, the- wage-earners may
gain something for themselves.
The position of the farmer is not com-
parable. He is the labor force on his farm,
but he is also the management. Postal
workers have a chance to gain something
for themselves by striking, because the
postal workers are not the government.
Carpenters have a chance to gain by strik-
ing against contractors, because the car-
penters are not the contractors.
A farmer really can not strike. be-
cause the person he strikes against is
himself.
Far every factory job in Canada. ap-
proximately $14.500 of capital investment
is required. For every farm in Ontario, a
capital investment at least as high is re-
quired; on a typical Perth County farm,
the investment is closer to $50,000 than it
is to $14.000. The difference is that on
the farm, the same man provides the capi-
taI and the labor.
Concentrated milk producers certainly
have a right to seek a better return on
their capital and labor than they get at
$3.11, but a "strike" is no way to get it.
The idea that farmers can "strike" is a
fallacy.—(Stratford Beacon -Herald)

End of Summer
Cottages along the lake front
were well filled over the week-
end and on to Labor Day. For
many it will be the last time
for this year to occupy their
cottages. Resorters ,did not en-
joy themselves as in the years
gone by due to broken weather,
especially those who expected
to take a daily dip and stretch
out on the sand for a sun tan.
We have much respect for those
many campers and their trav-
elling to and from their cot-
tages will be missed by t h e
neighbouring citizens.

Things are rather at sixes
and sevens around here today,
It's second honeymoon time,
and the Old Battleaxe and I
are flying around in a tizzy of
preparation.
The fact that we'll have an
18 -year-old son along for part
of the honeymoon trip won't
slow us down. He can find a
girl of his own. The main
thing is to get out of town for
a while.
This business of running a
summer hotel with the lowest
rates on the continent can
prove frying. _The clientele has
been of the highest class, but
the whole enterprise has it s
drawbacks. _Not only do the
guests expect you to stay up
all night with them, but their
children, who happen to be
your nieces, nephews and other
small buddies, expect you to be
on deck at 7 a.m. to tell them:
where the cereal is; how you
turn on the lawn sprinkler;
"Are we going swimming soon,
Uncle Bill?"; and why Daddy
was so grouchy when they tried
to wake him.
And there are other things.
Next year I'm going to buy bar-
becue charcoal by the carload.
I've cooked so many steaks and
hamburgers I can't look a steer
in the face. The manager of
the local booze emporium told
me the other day he'd give me
a summer job next year, be-
cause I'm in there every day
anyway. I've slept on a ches-
terfield in the living room, a
couch in my study, a mattress
on the attic floor, and half -re-
clining lawn chair, but I haven't
been in my own bed in a
month.
Oh well, it's all part of the
game, and we enjoy having
them. However, I do think it's
a bit much when they start
making reservations for next
year, and assuring us they'll
recommend the place to all
their friends, because of the
low rates, excellent cuisine,
free drinks, and nightly enter-
tainment (no cover charge).
At any rate, with nobody
booked for this week, our wed-
ding anniversary coming up,
and daughter safely off to camp
with enough clothes to go to
Europe, and a bag of fruit,
candy, and cookies she could
scarcely lift, we're getting ready
for The Trip.
First leg of The Trip will be
up the Great Lakes, and I quote
from the folder " - . . tong,
lazy, brilliant days , - . cool
nights with stars swinging low
. sky-blue waters . . . etc."
Actually, we'll have only ane
and a half of the long, lazy
days, but two of those star -
swinging nights. it'll rain. HI
give odds.
Eight t4an
one.
We're going on a passenger
steamer known as Hugh's Boat.
It used to belong to a steamer
Mrs. Morley Fournier and fam
ily, from Dasnwood vicinity
Mr. and Mrs, Henry Wilds and
from this highway Mr. and Mrs
Pete Jeffrey and family.
Mostly all homes had their
children, relativevs or friends
in their company. With all of
the travelling on this highway
it meant a flourishing business
for the week -end and Labor Day
for the Burgess's, in St. Joseph,
who are always ready with
plenty of courteous help to
serve the public, Once a cus-
tomer you are convinced of
good service.
Impressive Ceremony
The past week -end, at the re-
quest of Mr, and Mrs. Avila
Ducharme, of the BIuewater
eolith, yours truly, the father of
Mr. Ducharme, was asked to
place the first shovel -full of
concrete in the foundation of
the Ducharnie's new home, that
is being erected on their farm
property, The ceremony was
performed in the presence of
the family and a few neighbors.
It was short, with a few words
uttered for their good luck,
good health, prosperity and
peace of mind. The ceremony,
not being .impressive at the
time, but as the years will pass
on and the elder will have com-
pleted his full role in life, it is
then that the Dueharme's will
gather their family in one of
the cozy rooms of their new
home and there bring back
memories of this passing inci-
dent.

service line, but since son Hugh
obtaineda job this summer as
Entertainment Steward, it has
become known far and wide as
Hugh's Boat, After all, he has
a pretty important position.
He's listed on the directory of
feature services with the Bar-
ber, Handy Shop and Motion
Pictures.
I've promised to help him
entertain the passengers by
rendering my famous version
of a drunk singing, "I belong
Tae Glasgie". He was reluctant
to ;impose on my good nature,
but I brushed aside his repeat-
ed protests.
His mother has promised not
to embarrass him by telling
him, in front of the passengers,
that he needs a shoeshine, that
he's not playing that piece in
the right key, that he left his
room in a mess last time he
was home, or it's high time he
was in bed.
Second leg of The Trip wili
be by car, around the top of
the Lakes. We've left nothing
to chance. I've borrowed sleep-
ing bags from our music teach-
er, a tent from our minister,
and money from our bank man-
ager- We have a road map.
It's an oldish one, 1954, but
why worry about that!
Well, bon voyage, and if
you'll excuse me now, I'll get
out in the backyard and have
another practice go at putting
up the preacher's tent.
It's a pretty religious tent,
I expect.
Every time I get it up. it
sinks to its knees in an attitude
of prayer.
