KPPCHE R - Although there
are many reasons to file your in-
come tax return, this year there's
one more: your child tax benefit
payments depend on it!
In July. Revenue Canada will ad-
just the amount of everyone's
monthly benefit payments using in-
come information from the 1992 in-
come tax returns. To make this ad-
justment, the Department will look
at the tax returns of both benefit re-
cipients and their spouses. If one or
both parents haven't filed their re-
turns, child lax benefit payments
for the family could stop in July.
To make sure the payments contin-
ue without interruption, both par-
ents should be sure to file their
1992 returns as soon as possible.
Everyone has to file a tax return
to receive child tax benefits, even
those people who have no taxable
.income. Revenue Canada needs the
returns to correctly calculate the
benefit for each family. In July, the
Department will include a notice
with the benefit payment showing
the amount each family will receive
for the 12 -month period from July
1993 to June 1994. The notice will
also show how Revenue Canada
calculated the new amount.
The child tax benefit program
was introduced by the Government
of Canada in January. This program
is administered jointly by Revenue
Canada and Health and Welfare
Canada, and was designed to better
direct federal benefits for children
on the basis of need, as well as to
provide additional assistance to
low-income waking famlies. More
than 3.2 million Canadian families
currently receive tax-free monthly
payments under the program.
Protect your vision from rays Lambton Museum hosts
doll show and sale
TORONTO - Children, adults
and seniors are urged to protect
their vision from the damaging ef-
fects of the sun'satltraviolet (UV -B)
radiation when they are outside in
daylight hours during the summer
months. Protection should include
wearing sunglasses with as much
UV blockage as possible - prefer-
ably 100 percent - and wearing a
wide -brimmed hat that shades the
eyes from the sun.
"There are absolutely no benefits
to exposing your eyes and vision
system to UV radiation, but there
arc many potential hazards," says
Dr. Mira Acs, O.D., President of
the Ontario Association of Optome-

trists. "Every part of the eye, in-
cludingithe eyelids, lens, cornea
and retina may suffer both immedi-
ate and long-term damage from
prolonged exposure to sunlight."
While more Canadians are recog-
nizing the dangers of exposing their
skin to ultraviolet radiation from
the sun, a recent Environment Can-
ada study shows that fewer than
one in five Canadians are aware of
potential damage to their eyes from
UV radiation.
"Children and teens under 18
may be at risk, because generally
they spend more time outdoors than
most adults. We urge parents to en-
sure their children wear protective
eyewear or wide -brimmed hats
when they are outside in the sun.
11zpefully, children and youths will
get into the habit of protecting their
eyes - a habit that will help them all
their lives," says Dr. Acs.
Potential damage -to the eyes and
vision system from UV radiation
includes: sunburn, premature aging
of the skin and cancer on eyelids;
an increased risk of "snowblind-
ness" (photokeratisis); and brunes-
cent cataracts on the eye's lens.
"Eighty percent of what we learn
comes from our vision - it's our
most important sense. So when you
venture out into the sun this sum-
mer, remember that it is just as im-
portant to protect your eyes as it is
'to protect your skin," says Dr. Acs.
