J. CLATWORTHY — We Deliver — Phone 12 Granton We are very sorry to report ■that Mr. Art Campbell is in St. Joseph’s Hospital. Saturday he suffered an attack of acute ap­ pendicitis and was rushed to the hospital. We wish him a speedy recovery. A week from this Friday our commencement exercises will be held, An excellent program is planned and the students are working hard to put it into ef­ fect. Every spare moment is be­ ing used for practising, Friday is going to be a very sad day for some of us,—our report cards will be out. A thought to cheer us is that we have another set of exams com­ ing up before the finals so we still have a chance. It has come to our attention that Arva is about to start con­ struction on theix* new school. We have not heard any further news about the new school here. When is it going to be started? Some time has elapsed since' ■the end of the basketball sea­ son and there has been no ban­ quet or similiar attempt made to honour our W.O.S.S.A. teams. The athletic council feels that this is not right and that the teams should be given a banquet and some gift as the windbreak­ ers given to the hockey team. To do this the council is trying to raise some money. During the season the council managed to pay the thirty to forty dol­ lars it cost a week by charging admission to games. This means of revenue is now denied them as the season is over. The W.O.S.S.A. teams have attracted a lot of attention to Exeter, The teams were given more space in the London Free Press than any other organiza­ tion from Exeter, Surely Exeter is proud of them! The commencement exercises will serve as a dress rehearsal for the Glee Club as the musi­ cal festival will take place the early part of May.

THE FARM ACCOUNT BOOK AND INCOME TAX GUIDE SAVES FARMERS TIME, TROUBLE AND MONEY SAVES YOU TIME—You will find that a few minutes a week keeps your Farm Account Book up-to-date. The first 15 pages of your new Farm Account Book tell a straight story about what is required from farmers. Your problems are dealt with in question and answer form and an index refers you quickly to the section you want. The pages and columns for accounts are numbered to correspond with the items on the Income Tax Return form itself. You can make an accurate record of all farm dealings as you go along. If You Haven’t Received Your Copy, Get It Now— FREE AT YOUR POST OFFICE SAVES MONEY BY SHOWING YOU HOW—Every farmer legally is en­ titled to deductions for a wide variety of expenses. Your Farm Account Book has 12 pages de­ voted to columns for these. You are reminded of items which other­ wise you might forget. Deprecia­ tion, a big factor, is covered on 7 5 named articles in common farm use. You are shown how to establish claims for a Basic Herd and make a Three-Year-Average of your re­ turns. This latter gives you the advantage of the lowest possible tax and it may be dated back to 1946. These are direct money­ saving advantages entirely to your benefit. THE THREE YEAR AVERAGE You can’t lose if you take advantage of this. Two things are necessary to average your income over the three year period ending December 31, 1948. First your 1947 return MUST BE FILED ON TIME—that is, by April 30, 1948. Then when you file your 1948 return in 1949 you may make application to average your income for 1946-1947-1948. This averaging of income continues yearly so that in each year you are taxed only on the average of each three year period. REMEMBER - HALF CULTIVATED LAND YIELDS A POOR CROP—HALF KEPT ACCOUNTS GIVE Pt>OR RESULTS TOO Last year Canadian farmers—and there are nearly a million of them— produced over $2,000,000,000 in farm produce of all kinds. No other single industry approaches agriculture in volume of production. And as in every other business—even the smallest—every farmer must file an account of his transactions with the Department of National 'Revenue to qualify for the many tax exemptions which are allowed.
