The hedge needs trimming. The

last summer, though the new
green is fading nicely into the
old blue. Twelve feet of my

my golf has gone sour, and I.
haven't got my snow tires off
yet.
In short, it's a typical day of
my summer holidays. It's the
difference between the beauti-
ful illusion and the sordid re-
ality.
For the few school teachers
who are not taking a summer
course, or marking papers, the
two long golden months of sum-
mer stretch ahead like a glimpse
of paradise.
And for a few they are pretty
close to it. These are the un-
married ones who don't have a
home to maintain, and have
saved all year. They simply
close up the apartment, pick up
their tickets, and head for
Utopia.
And even the rest of us make
plans. Oh, how we make plans.
I did it again this year, and on
paper, it's beautiful.
Up early, stroll about the
ranch, pulling a weed here and
there, listening to the birdies,
watching the squirrels at play,
smelling the summer morn.
Breakfast. The works. Fresh
strawberries, bacon and eggs,
pot of coffee.
Then to work. Nine till noon
at the typewriter. Lunch. Game
of golf. Take family to beach
for swim. Home for leisurely
drink and barbecued steak.
Quiet hour in lawn chair with
book. Bed. Then, up and at
it again, fresh and fit.
By summer's end, a healthy
clear-eyed constitution, a book
ready for the publisher, and the
estate looking like something
out of a women's magazine.
That's the illusion. It's about
as much like the reality as the
Venus de Milo is lake an orang-
outang.
There are several flies in the
soup. I won't even mention
such things as bone laziness, the
heat, and 140 chores a day my
wife dreams up.
One of the big ones is the late
movie. All winter, there's no
time to watch them, 1 know.
It's stupid. You might as well
be on junk or booze. But who
can pass Cagney and Cooper
and Bogart in their prime?

ing. 1 did get up early this
morning, for the first time this
summer. The birds are singing
in the trees, and one flicker is
bathing under the sprinkler.
The squirrels are frolicking.
The oaks and the elms and the
maples are looking down at me
benevolently. The sun is shin-
ing. The sky is blue. And my
feet are drying out,
It beats hell out of being dead
and buried.
Dark Bones No
Cause for Concern
The presence of black bones
in cooked .chicken doesn't mean
spoilage has taken place, says
Professor Earl Hunt, depart-
ment of poultry science, On-
tario Agricultural College,
Guelph. Studies show that bone
darkening does not affect the
aroma, flavor, texture, or ex-
ternal appearance of the bird.
It occurs only in young, fast-
growing poultry. The younger
the bird and the faster it has
grown, the greater the inci-
dence of bone darkening. These
birds have soft porous bones;.
thus it is easy for the hemo-
globin in the red bone marrow
to come to the surface after the
chicken has been slaughtered.
The problem doesn't occur with
older birds, since their bones
have hardened.
A few years ago, says Pro-
fessor Hunt, it took 13 to 14
weeks to produce a three -
pound broiler. Now, the same
sized bird can be produced in
81/2 to 9 weeks, with the result
that today's bird is more prone
to bone darkening.
This shorter production time
is one way the poultry industry
has been able to maintain com-
paratively low price levels. The
industry considered the price
problem to be more important,
since the darkening of bones
has an adverse effect only on
appearance, The consume r
should realize that she is still
getting top quality poultry meat
for her money.

TAX REDUCTIONS
for all
Homme -owners and Tenants
in Ontario
Your Guide to Ontario's New System of Tax Reductions
To ease the burden of municipal and school taxes, the
Ontario Legislature has established a system of residen-
tial property tax reductions. Virtually all home -owners
and tenants are entitled to benefit.
By this system, Ontario, in effect, is paying the first part
of the municipal taxes on each eligible house or apart-
ment. The reduction amounts to an average of 121h%
of the taxes.
If you are a home -owner..
�.
if you pay your municipal taxes directly,
you receive your tax reduction directly
from your local municipality—either as a
deduction on your 1968 municipal tax
bill or by cheque.
If you have agreed to make regular pay-
If
ay-
If you are a Landlord,..
As an owner of residential property, you
receive the tax reduction in the manner
described above for home -owners.
Your local municipality calculates the amount of the
reduction and subtracts it on the 1968 tax bills. If a
house or apartment is rented, the landlord is required to
pass the full amount of the reduction to his tenants. The
Province pays municipalities the total of the reductions.
Every owner of a residential property and every tenant
of such a property is entitled to receive a tax reduction
provided the property was eligible in 1967 to be sepa-
rately assessed under The Assessment Act.

If you are a tenant...
Your landlord is required to pay to you the full amount
of the tax reduction for your house or apartment, which
he has received from the local municipality.
If you rent your house or apartment for
all of the year 1968, you should receive
the full amount of the reduction. On the
other hand, if you rent your dwelling for
only a portion of the year, you are en-
titled to a portion of the reduction; if you
rent the dwelling for six months, for
instance, you should receive one-half of the reduction.
Here is how you get your tax reduction:
• If your tenancy ended before June 30, you must apply
ments to the holder of your mortgage,
with instruction to him to pay your
municipal taxes on your behalf, you will
receive the benefit of the tax reduction
by way of an adjustment to these regular
payments.
As a landlord, you are required to pay the
full amount of the tax reduction to each
of your tenants.
to your landlord or to his agent to be entitled to a portion
of the reduction.
• if your tenancy ends• after June 30, or if it continues
through to December 31, your landlord or
his agent is required to pay the reduction to
you.
in either case, your landlord or his agent is
required by law to pay to you the amount
of the tax reduction by December 31,1968.
Any landlord who fails to pay tax reduction
allowance in accordance with the law is liable to a fine of
not more than $200 for each conviction and, in addition,
will be ordered to pay the tax reduction allowance.
