'Christmas and your birthday'
are the two best times of the
year. No doubt about it!
Presents arrive, friends are •
more than friendly and for once
everyone smiles at you.
However, if everyone can agree
ori anything it is when• the
worst time of the year is, and
that is income tax time. If ybt4*
birthday comes up on April
30th and you make a million
dollars, the nad - times might
even out the good; however, for
most of us, income tax time
comes filled with the dread of
those pink forms.. (Anyways I
never did like pink.}
. The Information and Friend-
ship Centre has finally devised
a way of beating the income tax
blues.' If you are over 65 and ,do
not have .an,income over $5000

trouble with your income' tax
