ONTARIO'S NEW TAX CREDIT SYSTEM:
2 out of 3
Ontario residents who file
income tax returns this year
will share $300 million
in tax credits.
(Even if they don't pay income tax!)
Families, pensioners, roomers, boarders, the handicapped and others will
benefit. Ontario's newTax Credit System provides for three separate credits,
And here's how they work:
1. People who own or rent (including roomers and boarder0 may share
in the Property Tax Credit. •
2. People who fill out a Federal income tax return may share in the Sales
Tax Credit.
3. 'People over 65 may share in the Pensioner TAX Credit.
You must fill out a federal ineome tax return.
The new purple Ontario Tax Credit Form comes attached inside it. So even
if you don't pay income tax, you should still file a Federal income tax return
with the OntarioTax Credit Form this year, •
We want you to get your fair share of Ontario's tax credits.

Church board invites student mini*
It appears that I am not alone in
my concern in the retaining of
land for food production. From
what I heard of the throne speech
today, the government of Canada
proposes to do something about
the covering of land with asphalt
and concrete. The thing I am
curious about is, if this will be just
lipservice or if they will really
meet head-on with the real estate
speculators. We'll just have to
wait and sec. Farmers in the way
of the transmission lines from the
Bruce nuclear power station are
lghting desperately at the
neuiry at Wingham, to It ilVC the
hoes go over less productive land.
Farmers in Arnprior are -taking
legal action against a dam for a'
power station that will take away
or spoil their drainage systems for
ridiculously high-cost electricity.
What gets me, is that more
consumers are not helping the
farmers in their fight, In the end
it is their food cost that will go
up.Where is the Consumers
Association of Canada now? You
can bet your bottom dollar that
they will be on the fore-Front,

when the price becomes high, to
blame the producer. Because we
are fortunte enough to. have
progressive farmers in this
country doesn't mean that we will
always have a surplus of food. It
will be a sad day/ indeed when the
day conies that we will have to
limit the export of food to hungry
people because we squandered
our land resources. Every
consumer should write a letter to
the Prime Minister and to
Ontario's Premier, protesting
about highways and pipelines and
powerlines going, through prime
farmland. It would make them
look so much harder for
alternatives. The International
Federation • of Agricultural
Producers says: "Hundreds of
millions of people • hi ' the
developing world are not
adequately nourished even in
years when crops are good;
among them are tells of.millions
of pregnant women, nursing
mothers and small children whose
under-nutrition dooms them, as
well as the unborn babies, to live
shorter and less productive lives
than they might live."
