QF EI UCATION
Over the past d Cade, the Ministry of
Education has ci<efined 13 goals for
educators to strive Or to develop a responsi-
ble and educated citizenry.
One of these goals is stated to be to
"develop a sense of personal responsibility
in society.. at the local, national and inter-
national levels. Awareness of personal
responsibility in society grows out of
knowledge and understanding of one's com-
munity, one's country and the rest of the
world. It is based on an understanding of
social order, a respect for the law and the
rights of others, and, a concern for the quali-
ty of life at home and abroad."
In my opinion, these important principles
can not be learned without example or ap-
proached, with understanding, without in-
volving and committing the student to serv-
ing the community. One way in which
educators heighten the student's awareness
of community is through volunteerism. Our
students are actively involved in learning
about and working in the community while
supporting many worthwhile charities.
A recent survey indicated that Huron
County schools currently supporting seven
foster children as well as making a number
of other important commitments. The
child's awareness of the third world is
concerns.
Peer tutoring programs, in place in a
number of schools, are another way in
which students learn to share their gifts
with others. Young people who accept per-
sonal responsibility for helping with the
academic or social development of others
are a credit to their community.
In all, Huron County schools are involved
with a total of 20 different charitable
organizations. With the help of their
teachers, students working through com-
munity charities are -learning about their
responsibilities to others.
We all have the opportunity to influence
citizenship in our youth. Any time a young.
person knocks on our door for a charitable
cause, we are the teacher. A few minutes of
our time, cheerfully given, will set a positive
example and is a worthy investment of one's
time for we all play a key role in encourag-
ing responsible attitudes.

All income must
Many Canadian taxpayers are not clear
about what income must be reported on
their annual tax return. The law requires
that all income, regardless of source and
` whether or not the taxpayer receives an in-
formation slip for it, must be included on the
return.
Many people assume, for instance, that in -

change; and rising concerns over water
quality in Canada's groundwater and in the
great Lakes basin.
The symposium will be held at Erindale
College of the University of Toronto, June
16-20.
Any local student is eligible who designs,
builds and enters a project on energy in the
senior category of the foundation fair. Any
aspect of energy can, be explored: conven-
tional energy, renewable energy, conserva-
tion, etc. To win, projects must earn first
class honors from the foundation judges.
"Our experience has shown that students
find the participatory'nature of the science
fairs and symposium both enjoyable and
educational," said W.R. (Bill) Loar, Chair-
man and Chief Executive Officer of Suncor
Inc., sponsor of the award.
"We see the program as an investment in
a better future for all Canadians. The award
helps to interest young people in science.
The symposiums are designed to show the
important role of science in society and to
be reported to R
come form a foreign, source, such• as a U.S.
bank account . or inve§tment, need not be
reported to National Revenue. If such in-
come is not reported, taxpayers ruu the risk
of being prosecuted under the Income Tax
Act. Income from foreign investments must
be reported, just as Canadian income must
be. Canada's tax treaties with other coun-
help point out new career opportunities.
Raising awareness of science's importance
and opportunities will, we hope, help young
Canadians meet the challenges of the
future," said Mr. Loar.
Suncor is one of Canada's largest in-
tegrated oil and gas companies. It pioneered
the commercial recovery of oil from oil
sands at its operation in northern Alberta.
The company manufactures, distributes
and markets transportation •fuels,
lubricants and petrochemical products
under the Sunoco`and Sunchem names. The
company is independently directed and
managed by Canadians and is 25 per cent
Canadian -owned.
The Youth Science Foundation is
Canada's only national organizer of youth
science activities. It organizes and judges
over 76 regional science fairs from coast to
coast. It is funded by grants from the
federal government, industry and in-
dividual sponsors.
