C* SERVING THE GROWING SUNSHINE COAST Published at Gibsons, B.C. Phone 886-2622 Volume 23 Number 4, January 28, 1970. 10c per copy 6 day shopping Harbor stores start March 1 Harbor businesses of G|bsons area plan to be open six days a week opening March 1. This was decided at Tuesday evening's dinner meeting of the association at Coast Inn when under the chairmanship Winston Robinson, vice-president who filled in for David Perry who was unable to attend the meeting. Discussion on the motion with representatives of 20 businesses present, ranged over various dates for starting and ending the six day week proposition but J it eventually simmered down to omitting a' possible change after Labor Day. This was left for decision when * that time of year comes along. Some merchants maintained that Monday was a good business day. Others who wanted the changeover to Monday opening delayed until Easter or May 24 agreed that the March 1 date for the change woull be most suitable. There has been talk for some weeks that just as soon as the weather turns towards spring there would be a move for Monday opening. The Harbor Business association members decided they would not wait for further' s consideration of the possibility. They - decided to make' their own decision. '' Improvement of street and store lighting is still under consideration -of- a committee-including Frank Daugherty, Douglas Smith -and Ken Watson. There was nothing to report .on it at present and the \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD committee is continuing it's,efforts to get something underway. . . 1 . School budget up 2% This year's net school board budget will total $1,852,690, 1.9 percent above last year's $1,-- 827,260, it was revealed at Thurs day night's school board meeting, by J.S. Metzler, secretary- treasurer. This budget- has provided for no extensions. It was also announced 'that the schools are all well equipped and have basic supplies on hand sufficient to carry' them for some time, While $239,622 in excess of the provincial government formula the budget is down $41,990 below the provincial budget approved Nov. 15 which the board regards as a good siign. Just before the board started on its budget analysis, it heard a New Year Letter from Hon. D.L. Brothers, minister of education; in which he maintained all trustees would have to worK harder to make the education system work He urged that they . keep budges under control. Following ,the reading of the lengthy letter trustees offered no comment as the letter was ordered filed. One bright spot in the budget discussion revealed that with the closing \"down of the\" shift system bus transportation was cut by $26,000.. One point in this discussion arose when the-matter of some $6,000 -plus in architect fees was discussed as an doubtful expense caused by the freeze on construction after plans\", had been produced and then\" forced into cancellation by the freeze: It was argued that as a result there would be more expense in architects fees if the projects were revived even on a \"curtailed basis by the department of education, thus creating further fees to architects with,no buildings yet under construction.* As matters now stand this $6,- 000 is to be paid on a contractu^ al basis with no results, because of the building freeze. Another angle concerned the Sechelt elementary school construction proposals which included preparation for an activity hall and other appendages which are now under a ban with classrooms only being permitted. \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDV At a\" special meeting Monday night Gibsons /council met with the school board to discuss the proposal ^hat: council along with Sechelt approve the $239,022 budget byer^titlement. > ;; tMaybrf' Wally Peterson and aldermen * heard J.S. Mazier, board secretary-treasurerr explain the\" budget's arnd composition following: a few questions council linferred it had enough detail to work on, so board members^etired^ : After* *niullihjg over budget figures-in a general way, council within a 15 minute period had put its approval oh the board's request for power to be able to go beyond its authorized budget level. Earlier Sechelt, after consultation at its meeting Wednesday of last week: decided it would approve the board's request and did so by telephone. If Campbell River's council has its way \"the school board budget will gb to . referendum and Campbell. River taxpayers will have to foot;the bill. It appears Mayor Skip McDonald is j holding to his stubborn stand ;not to review the school budget because he feels it is not the duty of council to^approve another eleced body's budget. ?:\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD' One of McDonald's biggest beefs about the school budget is that his council is now ^ being v* asked, under present provincial legislation, to approve a \"budget tihat affects people other \"than ; those governed by the council'.

Herefis/what happened at another point on the island,:; : ^ After drastic cutting the Dis- , trie 67 school board -approved a 1970 budget totalling $1,890,904; which exceeds the amount the board is permitted to spend on its own initiative by $253,171 the Ladysmith Ghemainus Chrori icle reports. . Under the new provincial^ gov- .ernment finance;v formula, the board may make such an over- expenditure if it receives the consent of the councils of the two municipalities within which the district lies, or the \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD; consent of the ratepayers.' The board has decided not to submit its budget to the municipal councils so it now must publish an advertisement stating that it intends to spend money in excess of the amount permitted under the formula.; Upon publication of this advertisement, if 100 or more ratepayers petition the school board in protest, the board must put the question to all of the ratepayers in the form of a referendum, v Last year the board's provincial budget totalled $1,645, 246 of .which $189,246 was a similar ov- erexperiditure: When this was advertised, only one person protested. _'''\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD_ MAY REPEAT BISTRO Greene Court Development, . 1970 offers thanks to those who sent donations in-spite of being unable to attend the Bum's Bistro at Welcome Beach oh Jan.. 17 when something like $61 was added to the court fund.

Photo: B.C. Jennings Complaints were aired at the meeting of the district school boarid, covering the behaviour of motorists at the Elementary school corner of the Sunshine Coast Highway. The -complaints were that some motorists- were ignoring the school patrol, placed there to direct traffic during times when most children are going to or coming from school. Some: board members reported watching drivers go right through the patrol when the signal from the patrol was against them. The board decided to consult the RCMP to see what could be done and also to take up the matter with Principal George Cooper who desired to end the patrol. A letter signed by more than 20 teachers of Elphinstone Secondary school supporting the idea that the shift system for educating students was superior to the ordinary all day method was read at last week's school board meeting. - Board members decided to acknowledge receipt of the letter after discussion.

At the December board meeting principal Tom Ellwobd and explained acted as , a subsidy Vice-principal Don Montgomery to keep costs low on household garbage pickup. It was also suggested that if the present company dropped out the cost of garbage collection would be high for villagers. Right now it was explained the garbage collection' was a sort of dry run for two or three months to see what volume would be available. Members of council decided to let the problem ride a while as it might work out itself. SCEPS urges action A meeting sponsored by the Sunshine Coast Environment Protection Society was held on Jan. 23, at St. Hilda's hall, Sechelt, attended by some 40 people from communities from Port Mellon to Pender Harbor. The following resolutions were passed unanimously and sent by letter to federal and provincial government ministers and others: 1.; Having seen the film Rape of Santa Barbara we demand that no oil drilling be allowed in the Gulf of Georgia and no further oil drilling for exploration purposes in any British 01S 21st birthday Columbia waters, inshore or offshore. \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD . ' 2. This meeting urges the federal government take immediate steps to proclaim Canada's sovereignty over the lands and waters of the Arctic and authorize an immediate and far reaching scientific research program to ensure that all possible precautions are taken to protect the delicate balance of nature in Northern waters and on lands protected by perma-frost, from all forms of pollution brought about by man's increasing activities in those areas. CALL FOR TENDERS The Sunshine Coast Regional- District is advertising tenders in this issue of the Coast News for construction of a water reservoir as part of the water system now under construction in the area from Roberts Creek towards Davis Bay. This month Elphinstone Chapter, OES,. comes of age, and the fact wall be acknowledged at the Feb. 5 meeting. During 21 years the chapter has raised and donated many hundreds of dollars to the cancer project and provided hundreds of dressings of one kind or another for cancer patients. Twenty women have trained for the office of worthy matron and, with the;assistance of the worthy patron, successfully led the chapter through the business and social affairs dependent upon them. These have been Mesdames Jenny Clay and Pearl Osbom, the first two worthy patrons, now deceased; Christine Anderson, Doris Drummond, Phyllis Parker, Molly McColl, Hattie Gray, Grace MacDonald, Bessie Shaw, Rachel Usewell, Edna Fisher, Grace Cumming, Zoe Eades, Doris Aitchison, Margaret Swan, Jo Mylroie. Betty Wood, Kay Franske, Emily Qui- gley and Alice Hough. presented a well thought-out brief on the situation and while they favored the double shift from an administrative and educational environment point of view they stated that by utilizing all available space to full capacity the school could operate on a single shift. ..\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDMr. Ellwood said the decision was one the Board would have to make and whatever was decided he\" assured trustees that he and his associates would make it work and run the school well. At the same December meeting Mr. R.R. Hanna, district superintendent of schools reviewed the enrolment figure and reminded trustees that the double shift was instituted on the basis of a projected enrolment -which did not materialize except as an emergency and then for as few students as possible. With (he addition of the new science labs Elphinstone could accomodate all students in the regular manner.

After perusing the Throne Speech delivered in the legislature last week and knowing that it was written on government authority one can wonder if the writer had British Columbia of 1970 in mind when the speech was put together. Considering the shape of things that are important to the future of the province and the condition in which these problems find themselves one can only wonder if they have been swept under the governmental rug. One of these days the little man which this-government espouses so nobly is liable to.rise up and urge to be forgotten until major things which affect the province at large are settled so that lesser governmental officials will foe able to help the little man at their level. Perhaps fewer government surpluses and the settlement of the many problems lurking under Victoria's rugs could be called a logical solution. Perhaps logic is not a subject bearing the Social Credit stamp of approval. Fear creates Some people even in this advanced age, are driving through' life with their wind-screens so clouded with prejudice vand bigotry that they are dangerous drivers, dangerous to others as well as themselves. Moreover they are seeing little of the beauties in life. Prejudices, which have been called the stone walls of narrow- mindedness, do not survive under honest appraisal. If an opinion is right, it will bear the test of examination; if it is wrong, the sooner we^get rid of it the better. Some prejudices arise from fear. Fear of being incompetent, of not making good, of not reaching the top of the business pyramid: these keep some people everlastingly on the look-out for critical comment or envious looks. And when we are fearful, how easy is a bush supposed a bear. i Criticizing people is unhealthy for the critic. He develops such a keen scent that amid a thousand excellences he smells out a solitary defect and holds it up to mockery. He becomes a scavenger. When Churchili^was' building a wall hie! put one' such.\"critic in his place. Told that the wall was crooked', Churchill said: -\"Any fool can see what's wrong. But can you see what's right?\" Our wrong thinking about things arid mot the influx of new ideas about things, can foe blamed for much of the trouble of our time. The right to think for ourselves requires that we try to understand things and how things work ratherthanclassifythemas\"good\" or \"bad\" according to.some current guidebook to values. The preceding paragraphs come from a recent monthly letter of the Royal Bank of Canada and are worthy; of consideration. COAST NEWS 5-10-20 YEARS AGO FIVE YEARS AGO A $197,000 sewage disposal plan was presented to Sechelt's council by Martin J.J. Dayton who was commissioned to estimate costs. Mr. Dayton was asked to attend the next council meeting to go over the figures. A tabulation of official results of the vote on Referendum five and six for school purposes revealed that of the 7,500 eligible voters, 638 actually voted of which more than 70 percent were in favor. < At a Sechelt meeting of the school board, Chairman Joseph Horvath noted that outside of board members in the hall there was only one member of the public present. 10 YEARS AGO Rev. David Donaldson, Gibsons Memorial church minister announced that he has decided to remain another year. He had planned to retire. Winners of a safety competition at Port Mellon CFP mill presented St. Mary's hospital administrator with a cheque for $455. An earlier cheque for $512 brought donations up to $967 through endeavors of employees. 15 YEARS AGO Taxpayers were informed by government officials at a public meeting that under the new equalized tax assessment act present assessments will bft 43 percent higher than they were under the 1941 act. There were 43 persons at the January meeting of Gibsons PTA and members decideP to hold a bazaar soon to raise money. Hubert Evans of Roberts Creek reports he has had two plays accepted for production by the CBC Radio. Pender Harbor Community club has decided to sponsor the first Boy Scout troop for that area. A proclamation was issued announcing a vote on the sale of liquor on licensed premises and with meals in restaurants or dining rooms for the Sunshine Coast. 20 YEARS AGO Norman Sargent was elected president of the Howe Sound Farmers Institute. Because the dog situation in Gibsons was getting out of hand the village council decided on a $1 tax for male dogs and a $2 for females. Arctic weather conditions are causing considerable hardship on travel by ship these days as the result of freezing over of inlets along the coast.

If you are one of the lucky people travelling to Expo '70 in Japan this year, perhaps I could help you with a few hiints, having been in.-the Orient last year. The most pleasant time to arrive as regards climate is April, May & the beginning of June. Then the weather is cooler & ispringlike. A. light coat is . useful. If you have to go in July or August the weather is hot and very humid and is the rainy season. Wear light cottons and cotton lingerie, no nylons, and take a folding umbrella, preferably -a light colored, one. It will serve a dual purpose, keep the rain or the sun off. You will- find everyone carries one in the rainy season; It is too humid to wear a coat, even< a light plastic one will stick to you, but the sun is so warm you will soon dry if you get a little damp. \"'/\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD; Most women and children wear a large shady hat. These you, can buy very reasonably in the department stores or sou- venier shops about 150 yen (52 cents) so do not take up space with one from here.

Take your money in American* currency, this you can change into -yen without difficulty; -at the banks are special money changing places marked as such You will soon learn to figure in yens: 10 yen is 3 cents, 50 yen is 14 cents, 400 yen is $1.11 and 1,800 yen is $5. It comes in paper money and coins, most clearly marked). Ask the bank for a little card showing the coins & their value. You have to have Japanese money, they will not accept any other. s Taxies are very numerous.'& very cheap in. Japan. You can .bail \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD one and if Jhe is goin^th^ opposite direction he will turn around anywhere. Traffic rules are very loose. Their trams are very clean, fast, on time and reasonable. Some have two classes, others just one. The stations are called out over the loud speaker in Japanese so it is well to learn the name of the station before the one you wish to get off. If travelling in a taxi, try to get the name of the place you wish, to go to and come to written down in Japanese, as most taxis drivers do not speak Eng lish, your hotel would do this for you. There is a language problem in Japan^The young people here learn some English in school and are very anxious to talk to you to practice, but it is very limited and most older people do no understand any. In? the department stores there are certain ones in the^ staff who speak English and. are usualy marked, so if you need help look for one of these. Of course* at Expo itself there will be lots of English speaking guides. / Good hotels and western food are expensive, but the service and accommodations are excellent. A 10 percent service charge is afdded to your biM, so no tipping is needed. You can stay at Inns and with some Japanese families much cheaper but don't expect all theicomforts of home. Japanese coffee (to my taste) is very poor, their, black tea is palatable, clear or with a little sugar or lemon.. Do not look for meat as we know it. Japan is too small to. raise cattie except the famous Kobe beef, which is very expensive. Shell1 fish, fish, pork and chicken arc plentiful and very tasty. Western food is obtainable from hamburgers and so on. Liquor is expensive, but the local beer is very good and reasonable, depending on where you buy it; It costs from 80 yen; on the train to 130 itm the hotels.' Japanese drink a lot of beer and soft drinks. Coca Cola sighs are very plentiful. Paper seems to be a scarce commodity and I would advise you to take plenty of kleenex in your purse in public rest rooms, paper towels are hardly ever seen and even toilet tissue is missing.

Research to carry out a general study of air pollution in the province and an investigation into the effects of mine and mill wastes on the water environment, it was announced by the Hon. Ray Will- iston, minister of lands, forests and water resources. The air pollution study will be used to provide initial background for administration of new pollution control legislation which I reported last year would be introduced during the forthcoming session of the Legislature, Mr. Williston said. JB.C Research will assess the magnitude of existing air pollution in British Columbia, based on estimates of emission sources substantiated by a limited number of field measurements, the minister added. With a scheduled completion date of Oct. 1, the study will ibe carried out under Dr. A.D. Mc- Intyre, head of the B.C. Research Division of Applied Chem istry. Dr. Mdntyre also will prepare an information pamphlet on air pollution for general distribution by the Water Resources Service. This should be completed early this year. The other study will be an investigation into the acceptability arid feasibility of discharging mine itnd mill wastes by various methods into fresh and salt water, and is additional evidence of the government's de termination to exercise maximum control over any potential pollution resulting from the existing industrial development and development proposals in the province, Mr. Williston said. The aim of the investigation is to provide scientific background for considering the effect on environment of mine and mill waste underwater disposal. The study will be carried out under the direction of Dr. C.C. Walden, head of the research organization's division of applied biology and is expected to foe completed by March of this year. B.C. Research is the research operation of the non-profit independent British Columbia. Research council which conducts research, development and other technical work under contract to sponsors in both industry arid government It offers services in the fields of applied biology, applied chemistry applied' physics, engineering, economics, and operations research.

The committee is composed of- representatives of the B.C. Teachers federation, the B.C.

Ross Hind from the department of education. \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\"\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD'.\" Chief items on the agenda were the condition of the buxU get, the directors report and a brief from Mr. Carrol, provincial water safety director. It is this brief that may be of interest to citizens of this area. ' Mr. Carroll divisional water safety director informed the committee of the development between water, safey arid Red Cross Youth. There could be a correlation , of a project to ih- \"struct Indian children in water safety since the children cannot afford, the required expense. They feel out of place and will not participate in established programs. Possibilities suggested Were to begin a program /to interest the children in water; purchase portable pools and provide instructors. Mr. Carroll suggested that because so few Indian children seem unwilling or incapable of participating in present water safety programs a separate proi gram must be established for thenu . If necessary portable pools could be purchased and instructors hired. The proposal is directed at interior Indians who lack suitable natural facilities for proper insruction in water safety. < Portable pools are costly and it would be a gamble to purchase such equipment with no \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDguarantee for the project's sue- cess. If the program could be begun without the'use of expensive equipment and be successful equipment might then be purchased, with more confidence. Local interest becomes an important factor in the scheme. The program could be started in a coastal Indian community with access to a suitable beach area. Sechelt offers such a site and could easily play a major role in the development of this project if the Indian children and parents there could be interested in the proposal.

Children's standard sizes catchin g on Canada Standard Sizes for children's clothing are catching on, says Ron Basford; minister of consumers and corporate affairs. -A year arid a half ago, before the Department became involved with the Canada Standard Size program, there were only 33 licensees. Today there are 165 and applications keep conning in. The Canada Standard Size system is voluntary. Firms that , obtain a license agree to meet CSS specifications on any clothing they manufacture and label as a CSS garment. The CSS label carries the words Canada > Standard Size within a coiled -tape measure showing the figures of two different sized children. Because the system is voluntary, said Mr. Basford, consumer demand will determine the extent to which it is used. I would urge all parents, therefore, to look for CSS clothing and df they don't find it, to ask for it. Measurement charts are now in some catelogs ami are available ^$&ohv hiy department. \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD This ^ap- n peared in the'Coast News Aug. 27, 1969.

The Canada Standard Size system is based' on body measurements. Parents can determine their child's Canada Standard Size by taking three of four critical measurements. When they buy a garment made to CSS specifications they can be assured that it will fit those measurements. The advanage to consumers, said Mr. Basford, Is that if a garment as a CSS size^ they know it will conform to the body measurements. There is no guesswork.

Sand; should; be uniformly coarse arid hot fine. The addition. of perlite as part of the volume of sand may be necessary -if the sand is from a' lake or of'poor quality. There are many ways of telling when a^plant needs, water. Researchers at the Plant. Research institute, who need to be more exact in their water applications, >use a special moisture indicating instrument. Some gardeners merely feel the soil, others know by the light color of dried-out earth. Sound clay pots tapped .sharply with the knuckles will ring like a bell if they are dry. Many people water their plants too often. Thinking to avoid the problem, some actually leave their plants in a pan of water at all times. The following information on how of- jten plants should., be watered will apply to plants that have been provided with good drainage and a good compost. Established African violets, .say those in four-inch pots, growing in a peat compost and in a room of normal .winter home temperatures, should not need watering more often than once every four days. Succulents like the thick-leaved jade, plant, aloes, crassula and various types of cacti may remain in good health without being \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD given water ior a month to six weeks. In fact, desert cacti benefit from being given a rest period from December to the. end of March with no water at all. /Foliage plants such as dieffenbachia, philo- dendron,; pothbs, the Chinese evergreen, aphelandra and pe- peromia in humusy soil need watering about every three days: Leaves give you some good indications. Plants with large, thin, soft leaves use more water than those with hard, waxy leaves. Sansevieras, for instance, can go for long periods without water, but coleus plants wilt very quickly. Check your plants every morning and do not allow them to wilt. Don't go to an extreme -in wa- ering to prevent wilting. Finally, when you do water,. give your plants a thorough soaking. A little water every day is not good. Water well and let the plant dry out before you soak it again.

One forest products company, . MacMi&lan Bloedel Limited, reports that thefts and wanton vandalism have; cost the company and its employees about $100,000 within, recent years. Other companies are experiericiiig the same problems. '\"' The MB spokesman said that in 1969 thefts and vandalism had cost the company more than $21,000. But almost one-third of these losses had occurred during September and October, the opening of the hunting season. Last year 34 power saws, each costing from $250 to $400j were stolen, along with a number of $1,200 portable radios, a 25-ton capacity hydraulic jack and air compressors valued at about $280 each. ' ' .:.\".. Blasting powder, blasting caps and fuses up to 500 feet in length have been taken and these constitute a danger to the public when,taken back to homes in B.C. communities. Fire extinguishers and first-aid kits have been stolen which could lead to runaway forest fires or possibly loss of life if their disappearance is not noticed before a fire or an acc> dent occurs. Wrenches, pliers, screwdrivers loggers rain clothing and gear owned by employees, tarpaulins, truck batteries, flashlights, even 1,500 to 2,000 -candlepower floodlights used: for night logging have been carried away. Whole drums of gasoline containing up to 45 gallons have been stolen. f In one case a tire and wheel was taken from a logging crew bus, in another an eight-man tent measuring 10x12x16 feet vanished. -, : At one logging ./division jneaifcv. Port Alberni half a day's proV duction was lost because vandals dumped the fuel stored m the area and then drained the fuel tanks of the yarders arid loaders and loosened cables supporting the heavy equipment. In another, instance vandals ~ took small timber toters used to haul' logs, staged a rodeo in the woods, smashing the vehicles into one another. Drums of fuel and the exhaust mufflers oh logging trucks were punctured with bullet holes., This sort of senseless behavior could lead to placing guards and patrols at the logging division, said the MB spokesman. This would be a shame since it would interfere with the very freedom the public want when they head for the forests to escape ciy life.

The person making the gift is the donor and the person receiving it is termed the donee. The tax is paid by the donor. Unlike income tax, the person who receives the funds does not pay a tax on them. The amount of tax is a percent of the value of the gift and rises on a sliding scale from a minimum of 12 percent to a maximum of 75 percent. Gifts to any donee are exempt up to a maximum of $2,000 in any one year. Therefore, a donor may make any number of tax free gifts in a year, to any number of donees provided he does not give any one of them more than $2,000. All gifts between.husband and wife are tax exempt. (Copyright) Gift tax is cumulative. The effect of this is that donor must keep a \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDrecord of all his gifts-rvalue in excess of $2,000 per person. Over the years the taxable, amounts (over $2,000) are added together and this cumulative total determines the tax rate, for any taxable gifts made in the current year. For example, if donor gave $10,000 per year in taxable gifts, by the 20th year would have a cumulative gift total of $20,0(Kh If he gave another $10,000 in the 21st year, he would pay tax at the maximum rate of 75 percent. In other words, it would cost him $7,500 to give $10,000 away. AH of which illustrates (without meaning to appear, irreverent)that it is more blessed to receive- than to give, when it comes to gift tax.

A. Shoes should be worn evenly at the ball of the foot, and the heel worn at the back outer edge. Sighs of wear at the; toe' indicate shoes are too short; probably outgrown. Wear around the edge of the sole tells - that the sole is too narrow across the - ball of the foot; this may eventually cause bunions and corns. Excess wear on the inner edge of the heel or sole may indicate that the child is not walking properly. Q. Should shoes be handed down? A. No; each shoe molds itself, to the characteristics of the wearer's, foot. Q. They say that babies should wear high top shoes; is this so? A. Although mothers are often advised to put babies into high top shoes first on the theory that it helps form the arch, this is not necessary. The foot and arch will usually develop normally in low quarter shoes with adequate space and a straight last. Q. I hear that children's feet are getting bigger. Is anything being done about it? A. There is considerable research being done at the moment regarding the size range of children's shoes, since a recent study showed that 90 percent of children in the 11-12 age group now wear adult shoe sizes; Several Canadian manufacturers have introduced a line of children's shoes that cover the size and style requirements of the larger footed youngster. Q. What about new materials being used in children's shoes? Is it as good as genuine leather? A. In soling products, the plastic and neolite products long t outwear leather. They are also fungus proof. The main drawback to footwear with this type of soling is it is usually made by the molding process, rather than by the sewn or cement process. Molds are expensive to buy so in order to keep prices in line, manufacturers do not offer as large a selection in styles. Q. People say that children's shoes do not wear as they used to; is this so? A. Children often no longer play on grass or dirt surfaces. ,phone^88^2442;'.: ':'$ like to assure you that they will be considered along with those of all; citizens' interested in the Improvement of Canadian Broadcasting?;\" ; :/;:. ..:. ]\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\"\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD The average TV shown is mostly ;<\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD> nonsense, it could be useful and also educating and informative so- let us now hope this will be changed in the hear future now that those m charge of the programming for CBC and CRTC say it will be.
