Legge, Q.C., Chairman of the Board. The new association will assume the responsibilities for- merly held by the Farm Safety Council of Ontario, Mr, Legge explained. Since 1966, the Workmen's Compensation Board has been actively engaged in safety education in the farming industry of Ontario. In April of this year, the Work- men's Compensation Board un- dertook the financing and ad- ministration of the Farm Safety Council for the balance of 1972. Mr. Legge reported that the major agriculture trade associations in concert with the Farm Safety Council of Ontario gave unanimous approval for the formation of the new organization. An application has been made to the Lieutenant-Governor of Ontario for incorporation of the Farm Safety Association by Letters Patent,which was submitted by the newly elected Directors: Er- nie Skrow, Georgetown; Mildred Reeds, Reaboro; William Irvine, Emo, Ontario; Arnold Kuhl, Desboro, and W.W. Bilderbach, Putnam, Ontario. Mr, Legge explained that the objectives of the new association are to provide education in ac- cident prevention throughout the province's agricultural com- munity, and to promote safe practices in farm work as well as safe handling and design of farm equipment. In making the announcement, Mr. Legge, who is also president of the Canada Safety Council, said; "We are pleased to welcome the Farm Safety Association into the Compensation Board's family of accident• prevention groups. Farming is a hazardous occupation, resulting last year in more than 1,500 disabling ac- cidents and eight deaths in On- tario alone. On a national basis, farming has the third highest accident frequency, exceeded only by the mining and con- struction industries. All of the Board's facilities for safety education will be at the disposal of the new association." The first General Meeting of the Farm Safety Association is planned for January, 1973 in conjunction with the Annual Meeting of the Farm Safety Council of Ontario, at which time the future plans of the new accident prevention" organization will be fully discussed during a two day meeting. A .rnatter of principle BY J. CARL HEMINGWAY With the election campaign getting into full swing it seems that taxation is going to be a key issue. If we are to solve this vexing problem perhaps we should go back to the beginning and start over. It would seem that "taxes" originated from a need for service. There was a need for roads and protection. The nobles with their knights provided the protection with the serfs providing produce to pay for this service. A system of requisition of labour was used to build roads. And now we have taxes without number! Times have changed and so have our objectives and this ap- plies to taxes. We now have two purposes for taxation. The first has remained service but added to it is equalization of income. I think the time has come that we all agree that taxes are the best way to pay for many if not all of the public services we have. It seems to me that we have difficulty in finding a fairer way of paying for our roads than the gasoline tax. I have driven a little on toll roads and have found it quite irritating. However many services, such as education, are financed from many sources even to the point that some equalization of income is involved, This Over-lapping of purpose creates a real problem. However the allocating of tax dollars fairly is easier than getting the dollars. Some months ago, on different T.V. programs, this question of raising tax revenue was put to both Mr. Trudeau and Mr. Stan- field. They both expressed serious concern for the middle income group that is carrying the burden of taxation but neither seemed to have any idea of how to bring relief. Strangely, they didn't even mention a word about the lower income group that doesn't have a taxable income yet cannot avoid paying all the hidden taxes of which many know nothing about, and for whom nothing is done unless they give up and. go on welfare, which is a sad alternative. Nothing was said about increasing the income tax of the upper income group. None of the groups were defined. Under present exemption few families could be exempt of in- come tax with an income of over $5,000 so we might classify the lower group as under $5,000. Then we would have a middle in- come group with income from $5000 to $1500. This I think would leave quite a large number in the group in the upper income group. It seems strange that no mention was made of this group, as a source of increased revenue. Could it be that there are two very good reasons why this group was omitted? First it has been stated that 95 corporations provide a very high percentage of the campaign funds for one of our major political parties. Naturally these corporations are controlled by a very small number of very wealthy persons. Secondly, many people seem to feel that government is just as money-hungry as any individual, if not more so. One person with a taxable income of $100,000 contributes a lot more to the gover- nment coffers than 100,000 persons with $1,000 taxable income. One of the very urgent needs is a more equitable taxation system.

The results have been gratifying with substantial reductions in the number of fatal and non fatal hunting accidents through the use of firearms and boats. The Ontario Safety League points out that it is mandatory in Ontario for anyone under the age of 20 who has not previously held a hunting licenpe to take the Hunter Safety Training Course and pass a Ministry of Natural Resources' Test before a hunting licence may be issued. Applicants, the age of 20 and over, may obtain hunter safety instruction material for their in- formation and study from the Ministry of Natural Resources and then take the Ministry Test. 23 having particularly nice rear at- tachment.

Hope had plenty of dairy character with open rib and a good quality ud- der showing plenty of width at the rear.

This was a typey pair, both very dairy, with the Junior Champion being However, the Ontario Safety League advises any new hunter to attend a Hunter Safety Training Course before attemp- ting the Test. The Hunter Safety Training Course covers more than the safe handling of firearms. Because of the high incidence of boating accidents involving hun- ters, the Ontario Government decided several years ago to add boating safety for hunters and cold water survival to the Course curriculum. The results have been nothing less than fan- tastic. In four years' time boating fatalities among hunters have been reduced from 30 or 40 each year to only two in the fall of 1971. The League extends hearty congratulations to the Ministry of Natural Resources. larger, strong on top and with good depth of rib.

BY TOM TREM FIX Question: Wind-driven rains caused severe leaking through the shingled- roof of my 15-year-old home. Upon close inspection, I could see no missing or broken Shin- gles, but still the leaks re- curred with every rain storm ithat had high winds. A close study of the leaks indicated that they were in the area of the valleys where a dormer roof joined the main roof. Something must be clone ,-but what? Answer; You are right! You must make a repair before you find yourself faced with a replastering job, or worse. As roofs age, the shingles harden and in cold weather fail to seal against the metal flashing in valleys or around chimneys. The shingles may look all right, but high winds can lift them and drive large amounts of water up under the shingles, beyond the metal flashing, and thus through the roof. The easiest solution is to use a product called Instant Patch. It is a high-solids as- phalt compound that contains reinforcement fibers. It can be brushed into and across voids without sagging or run- out. With a brush or trowel, work a generous amount of Instant Patch well up under the shingles where they over- lap the flashing. Avoid break- ing the shingles as you raise them and work the Instant Patch under. Next, press the shingles down into the compound. Its adhesive qualities will help to hold the shingles down; but, , more important, the com- pound will help fill the gap between old shingles and the flashing. and prevent water from being blown up beyond the flashing. While you are up on the roof, it would be wise to in- spect the fleshings around the chimneys, soil pipes, and other through-the-roof de- vices, such as ventilators. In- stant Patch can be used to re- place old compounds that are beginning to lose their weath- er-proofing qualities.
