Tax breaks subtle Many people do not take full advantage of the tax deductions and credits to which they are entitled, when preparing their 'income tax returns, according • to Henry Mitchell of Tax Time Services in the Suncoast Mall. One item that is per- tinent to the Goderich. area is the Ontario Property 'fqx Credit as it applied to people living in trailer parks, and paying both rent and taxes. In computing their occupancy cost, they have the option ' of claiming 20 percent of the total of the rent and taxes paid, or 100 percent ,of the taxes. Both options are subject to a maximum of $180. _For instance, a person paying $600 rent and $100 taxes could claim 20 percent of $700 which is $140 or $100 taxes; naturally you would claim the $140. However, a 'person paying $600 rent and $180 taxes could claim 20 percent of $780, which is $156 or $180 taxes; in this case you would claim $180. A letter concerning the 'badges' was sent to the National president. By- laws, drawn -up, were read by, Mrs. G. Hen- derson and a short • discussion followed.

Jii'hn came backwe 're glad he did BY JOANNE BUCHANAN Mac's Milk, which .opened for business here 'on Bayfield Road early in December, held its grand opening for three days last week. The manager -dealer of this convenience store is 21 -year-old John Grace, a native of Goderich..1 is one of the youngest manager -dealers the company has ever had to his knowledge and for awhile his age held up the decision to give him the contract for the -dealership. But Grace does not feel that his age will prove a problem. So far things have been running smoothly at the store and business has been building up slowly. Grace had had two years of experience working in a grocery store for the Hudson's Bay Company in Nor- thern Ontario previous to his Mac's Milk jnh. He found life in Nor- thern Ontario rather isolated and when •an opportunity for the Mac's Milk dealership arose in • Goderieh, he decided to - apply for it. He admits he was surprised when he got the dealership because at the time he was only 20 -years -old and he felt this factor might go against him. .A dealership is almost like having your own,. business, he explains. He is paid on commission of sales. He puts in a lot of long hours but says he doesn't really_ mind. Thesto re..is- . open from 7 a.m. to midnight seven days a week and he has a staff of two full-time and one' part-time workers plus himself. Grace reels happy to be back inthetown where he was born and raised and he also feels fortunate in having the opportunity to- work here. Welcome home John Grace.
