'Service Registration No. 1142 2nd Class Mail COUNCIL of Sechelt, at last regular meetiag February 4th, moved to up the grant of $450 to $500 for this year's May Day celebration despite a .word of caution by acting Mayor Norm "Watson. .. Alderman George Flay produced a list of expenses involving, the May Queen and ceremony which amounte��d to $54 above the $450 grant made last year by council. This was ab'sorSed by the Sunshine Coast Lions Club which has undertaken operation of the annual event .for ' the past, few years. Acting Mayor AVatson saidjie appre- ��� ciates the fact that a great deal of voluntary labour is put into the projects by the Lions members, but,-"this is part of the functions, of such an organization and while ,we have"~ff "list of costs "and losses we should, in all fairness* also be given a run c|own on profits." Alderman Joe Benner pointed out that apart from the $54 deficit, there are also a number of unlisted incidentals. Further, two bands took part in the parade and these-cost the community nothing. Tliis year a band from "Merrit has been tentatively booked up and will cost about $100. * Watson argued it must be borne in mind that profits are made and this is made possible by the grant from council. He said it is -customary under such circumstances to allow 10% of profits to cover'���any losses that might occur. Further, the*- acting,:Mayor expressed the view that for a small village the size of Sechelt to, expend $500' for a one. day shot would seem to be getting a little out of.,hand. He .said it is getting to the stage whereby the benefits will need to be considered in relation to costs. ...'���"-' - Aid. Benner said he would like to see .the matter dealt with without delay for other communities were after the band arid it would be necessary to make a firm committal without delay. Alderman Flay said he did not consider $500' to be out of line "thing is we either put on a May Day or we drop.it",, he .stated. #. Watson expressed the view that somewhere there must be a happy medium "we could put on a show to equal Vancouver but there would be no money for anything else for it would take up our entire budget", he said. Aid. Flay moved the Lions be offered ��� *ft $500 -to undertake May Day again this year. Council.so moved.

Alderman Ken Goddard at last regular meeting of council outlined the*, plans and explained that a stone wall to ���^'height of approximately three foot had been suggested for the graves area. This would include an ���opening for entry and the area would be built up a little. A bronz plaque was also suggested to commemorate the Gibsons Family with appropriate shrubs planted to replace dead holly trees. Total cost was estimated at $3*400, HEARING Pollution Control Board has scheduled a Public Hearing for Halfmoon Bay resi- rents:.who are-concerned;.with-xxn appHea- ��� tion by a subdivision developer who seeks a permit for an outfall in the .bay.

February 1(5 at Elphie auditorium and Feb. 17 at Pender High. This is a student fund raising project and worthy of full support. Further details advertised within this copy of The Times. TOURIST BOOTH At last executive meeting of the Sechelt and District Chamber,of Commerce, President Joe Benner reported donation of a small building to the Chamber for use as a tourist bureau. The building is of historic interest and il wus moved funds be used.to fix the building up rather than support a Lower Mainland tourist organization. HONOUR ROLL Second report, January 30, 1070.

Grade 12, Helen Dlmopoulos, Linda Johnson, Wendy Mercer. about $1,400 of whiclj would involve cost of the wall and clearing up the grave area. However. Mayor Wally Peterson suggested that this work could be carried out by, the village work crew jbA a cost of approximately $600 possibly a little more. Alderman Goddard advised council that if it goes ahead with the project, it will be expected to maintain the park. Mayor Peterson agreed that it is only right council should take care of maintenance. He added that the proposed wall would be similar to the rock used on the rest room in the park. ��� Approval of the scheme was given in principle pending approval by members - of the Gibson family. GARBAGE DUMP Alderman Goddard drew attention, to the fact that the Gibsons garbage dump under the control of the Regional Board is in deplorable condition. This brought a chuckle from Aid. Gerry Dixon who commented that at a meeting of the Regional Board a few days previous, the Secretary Treasurer had stated the dumps - are in excellent condition. AIRPORT -���-> Alderman,.Goddard said he had noth-. ing, to report-on the airport "there has been no meeting of the committee since the first of the year", he added. Aid. Croby commented "It is Sechelt's turn for chairing the committee this year". STREET LIGHTS New street lights have been established where needed and the lighting program for the expanded area of the n village has been completed, reported Aid. Dixon who said he understands work had already started on lighting for Granthams Landing. This will mean a black spot between Granthams and Gibsons and therefore, perhaps the Highways Dcpt. should be asked to consider a few lights between the two communities. It was moved Ihe Department be contacted as a first measure. SCHOOL CROSSING Patrol of the Elementary school crosswalk, suspended two weeks ago because of hazard created by vehicles which ignored the students signals, is to be re- institutcd. Administrator Dave Johnston told council he hadibeen informed by Corporal Biggemann of the RCMP detachement that police would be co-operating with the pijtrol. In order to improve vision of the highway from School Road, the Corporal asked if council have an old stump taken out on the coiner. Mr. Johnston told council the work has now been carried out. t-.i aia^ii-iaaaaa- Early Spring Selma Beach fishermen will have a; job to beat Mr. Steve Pilot's first catch of the year ��� a beautiful 26 pound Spring Salmon caught %yithin minutes of launching his boat at 4 p.m. on Tuesday of last week. Caught on, a Tom Mack the silver beauty was already dressed by the time we caught up with it. Mr. and Mrs. Pylot who have retired, not only enjoy fresh salmon caught almost on their doorstep at Selma Beach but also grow outstandingly large .vegetables in their garden where the'beetroot are 10* inches in diameter. Clean-up sought . . . o AT LEAST two Aldermen were concerned with reports of a recent dance held in the Elphinstone auditorium which developed into a hippy "pot in" but they were rebuffed by acting Mayor Norm Watson who insisted it was not the concern of .council. ���**' At last meeeting of Sechelt Village Council, Alderman Joe Benner brought ���*_ , ������, *___, Board meeting questions raised -'hostility' REPORTING on last meeting of the Regional Board, Mayor Wally Peterson told Council of Gibsons he had brought up the fact that Director Frank. West had seen fit to write the Pollution Control Board in regards to Council's plans for a sewer outfall at Gospel Rock. In light of the fact West had written as a Director of the Regional Board, he asked for a copy of his letter, only to discover that onp was not on file, how- over, West had said he would send the Mayor a copy. Mayor Peterson added "he became quite hostile about the matter and was backed up by the Board and Chairman who stated he could write as he wishes as a Director. I1 guess I was out of order for questioning the situation", he said. The Mayor also leportcd that a letter from the PCB has asked .whether the Board planned on taking an active interest in the Gibsons sewer project. As a result the matter was put in the very capable hands" of Mr. West. Alderman Gerry Dixon said that he too attended the Board meeting but, it was his opinion that little wus accomplished. Alderman Ken Goddard expressed the view that following a study by aldermen of a treatment plant in Langley, 'similar to.that proposed by council,/^ full report; bo published with co-operation of the press in order that people know the true facts of the situation. Alderman Charles Mandelkau commented that it seems to him that had the proposed outfall been anywhere but at Gospel Rock, certain people who are complaining could probably have- cared less. Aid. Goddard added that the only people shouting are the few objectors and it is unfortunate that the great majority of people who support the scheme are saying nothing. Mayor Peterson stated that if anyone needs sewers it is the people at Gower Point where, he said, he has noted drinking water used from shallow surface water. On top of this he has observed a septic tank bubbling to tho surface in nt least one instance. "It Is very evident that a health hazard exists under such circumstances", he said. Describing the type of plant planned for the village, Mayor Peterson said it is a secondary treatment plant Involving a number of processes which break down the effluent which is finally deposited Into a section of the plant from which It may be used for fertilizer-. Liquids are then purified and are pumped out as clear liquid, Referring to the Regional Board meeting, the Mayor mild "Mr, West secmr. to think we Intend pouring raw sewage into the sea." the matter up and suggested Council write the School Board expressing concern. Mayor Watson said in his opinion it is a matter for the police, not council. He added that he does noU condone illegal drinking or "pot" smoking but as council recently expressed confidence in the School Board he saw no reason to express non-confidence on this issue. - Aid. George Flay disagreed andjointed outthat it is a guestion of indicating concern that -the, auditorium ^shouldjhe. used " fot* Jsuch' a *purp6s'Sr_'rWc are asked to approve the schboT"BuSget and I would ssuggest we should be able to express our views on this incident" he said. Aid. Benner said that as a member of the Chamber of Commerce and as a taxpayer he feels something should be done to clean up the hippy situation ,fthis place is becoming a haven for hippies and we should be doing something about it" he commented. Mayor Watson pointed out that it is also a question of what one would call a hippy. He said it could prove difficult deciding* which is a school attending hippy and a non-school attending hippy. Aid. Benner replied that it was his understanding the hippies were not students and that Ihe School Board was ���see page A-3 WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY T1, 1970 IOc Volume 7, No. 11 lOPagcs Safety patrol renewed co-operation of RCMP GIBSONS RCMP detachment has agreed to co-operate with the school patrol at the intersection of Highway 101, North and School Roads where a hazardous _ crossing exists. The patrol was recently discontinued due to fact motorists were not co-operating and were, in some cases, ignoring the youngsters. Shortly before the hours of 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. almost 500 young students are involved in getting to and ���from" school. Police have agreed to explain responsi- _ bility of motorists and will maintain a patrol of the area during danger periods. Section 169 (4) of the Motor-Vehicle Act states: "The driver of a motor vehicle shall obey the instructions of school pupils acting as members of school patrols provided under the Public Schools Act. Violators are subject to a maximum fine of $500. Mayor and Alderman inspect sewer plant MAYOR Wally Peterson and Alderman Ken Crosby, accompanied by Chamber ���- of Commerce president Dick Blakeman, visited the Aldergrove sewage treati^nt plant last Friday February 6th inN6Mer to check on its "efficiency due to the ftM it is identical to the plant planned fdj- the new Gibsons sewer system. On their return Mayor Peterson told The Times the secondary treatment plant surpassed all expectation. He said he only wished others, who arc presently registering opposition to the Gibsons project, could see the plant. Mayor Peterson explained that after treatment, only a small amount of solid remains and this can be put to use as fertilizer. Much of the solid is eaten up by bacterior. Actual outfall is quite clear and at the Aldergrove. plant it is poured out into a creek upon which ducks and geese thrive quite happily. Addition of , chloride is optional for any bacterior entering the outfall is killed the moment it comes in contact with cold water. Mayor Peterson, Alderman Crosby and the Chamber president have indicated complete satisfaction with the treatment plant and it is understood a Powell River .group is to visit the same plant with a view to establishing two in the Powell River area. Hydro warns drivers on falling power line ���DO YOU" know what to do if your car hits a power pole, and an overhead wii;e comes down on the vehicle? Stay where you are, say B.C. Hydro safety men. Warn other people to stay away. Have someone phone B.C. Hydro or the police ��� at once. You'll be safe as long as you stay in the car, If you must get out, leap free of the car with no pai't of you or your car touching it and the ground at the same time, Never try to cut fallen wires. Wires that appear to be dead may not be. If it is absolutely necessary to pull away a fallen wire, a completely dry rope or u long, thoroughly dry stick can be used. But the best rule is to wait for an experienced B.C, Hydro crew to respond to the emergency call.

Flay added that by saying nothing, council is, in effect, condoning the situation "I fcel.it should be considered a council problem too" he said'. The matter was dropped following statement by the acting Mayor that it is not council's affair and certainly not a function of council. SECHELT WHARF Aid. Benner drew attention to the fact an oil line along the James Wharf on the Sechelt waterfront is damaged as a result of the last storm which also damaged the,. wharf "another storm and it could really go", he said. Aid. Watson asked "are you suggesting the owner, or those responsible, be informed they will have to accecpt responsibility in event of oil leakage and likely pollution?" ,. ,,...,. Benner replied that certainly there would be pollution and other hazards should bad breaks occur. p On a suggestion by Aid. Harold Nelson, it was'moved the oil company involved be informed and a copy of the letter go to the owner Mr. Art James. BEAUTIFICATION It was reported that locations have been marked along Cowrie Street for flowering cherry trcces.

SUBDIVISION Proposed subdivision plans for West Toi-poise Bay were again submitted by Stanley and Associates on behalf of Town- line Developers, These had been rejected al tin earlier meeting because of failure by Ihe planners to include public waterfront access. This time a public* access road had been included hut was in a location council had previously ruled as unsuitable.

It was moved the plans he held on file pending further discussions with the developers.

',. ■ -mVs. Gladys Legh was. appointed teacher and since la'et September she has been teaching three students in. trie only room available at. Gibsons Elementary. School. The School Board is in no way obligated to provide classropin accommodation but feeling "that the children are better studying within the (normal school atmosphere rather than being in ari isolated building, the Board'allowed the local Chapter of the Retarded Children's Association to use the former .nurse's room at Gibsons Elementary School. -Progress of the three stuudents since September has been most encouraging and Mrs.' Legh is n.osrrappreciative of the help given by Elementary School Supervisor, Mr. Peter Slinn and School Principal Mr. George Cooper. The two younger children are able to join Mrs. Alley's class during the afternoon but the. third student who would dearly love to be able to continue with handicrafts only studies for the morning and the room is much too small for the active students who love to work with their hands. , ..»■/ On Wednesday of next wee'ekj Sechelt and.

Q. I should like to know whether a man of 65, who is getting the Old Age Pension and is also working^ may have stamps put in his Unemployment" Insurance book? I was told that a man on pension should not both work and have stamps placed in his book, because he should not be getting two salaries. A. You have been misinformed. There is no age limit, nor is a 'means test' required, for Unemployment Insurance. Q. At our head office we have Social Insurance Number cards for every employee across Canada. Do we have to keep them oh file for ever? A. No. At the time of registering your employees you received three sets. Two were plaslicized and were to be given • to the employees. The third set, marked 'Employer's Part', was of paper. On it and'on the small yellow folder that accompanied it was the note that the paper version could be destroyed, once the Social Insurance Number had- been recorded against the employee's name on your personnel and/or payroll records., Questions should be referred to Information Services, Unemployment Insurance Commission, Vanier Building, 222 Nepean Street, Ottawa, Ontario — Tel. 996-2975.

Benson's White Paper . . 99 IT IS significant that, among all tho protests against various phases" of the Tru- deau - Benson tax reform, one proposal has received support���the institution of a capital gains tax. How it is to be applied provides an area for lively discussion, but the accepted part, a tax on capital gains already realized, raised little objection. Strong objection is against the capital gains as applied to gains NOT realized, as in the case of appreciated value of a lot or a stock or any other holding you may have, and upon which the government proposes to place a 21% tax whether you have sold the holding or not. In this case, you might have a holding you do * nut wish to sell at the time the tax is demanded, but whicbryou may have to sell against your better judgment in order to find the cash to pay the tax. A coin or stamp collection is a simple example; or a blue-chip^stock which is paying you. dividends(^mcrat the same time increasing in value. The government intends, apparently, to stop you getting ahead and eventually take all you own if you happen to*' be in business for yourself. However, since a capital gains tax is going to be implemented, your interest will be in how Trudcau - Benson propose to do it. Several of their proposals arc highly dubious, appearing to come from a theoretical mind (such as a university professor, which Mr. Benson was before Ids election) rather than one accustomed to dealing with practicalities. " One proposal that would have the greatest direct impact on the most people , j's' tho prospect of a capital gains tax on profits made in the sale of houses. The white paper offers an exemption of $1,000 for each year that a person has owned his home. A man who buys a house for $20,000 nnd sells it five years Inter for $25,000 would pay no capital gains tax on the Role. If he sold the house for $30,000 he would pny tax on $5,000 of his. profit, CAPITAL GAINS ON HOMES "Generally," the white paper observes, "capital gains on the sale of homes would not he tnxed" as a result of tho exemption, It also points out that the exemption would serve to eliminate tho problem in the event that u person lost money on the snlo of a house, of 'determining how much of the loss occurred because of .wear nnd tear on the home nod how much because of changes In the real estate market. The white paper also allows the homeowner to deduct front his profit any money spent on Improvement,! to the house, If lie chooses not to Iteep records of Improvements, he can deduct a straight $130 a year, These exemptions, the paper says, make it unnecessary to allow (he homeowner to deduct from his income any losses on the sale of property, Unfortunately, Ihe authors of the white paper seem unaware of what Is happening lo real estate values across Canada these days, and what is likely lo happen in the future, The Canadian Association of itenl Estate Hoards him computed the change;; in the price;, of homes sold through multiple listing In 12 major Canadian cities In the In:,I year, nnd found that In Vancouver, lor Instance, the one- yenr Increase In value (December 10(111 lo December IHUIM was nn average Hi'.', or IS'1500 on ii $.'.ll,<in0 home, This makes Mr, Heuson'n offer of >111(10 per year an a lux credit i,com iioiitetliiug let,!, lliaii icnlislW:, What it means to lla* average homeowner I:, thai, living In a $20,0111. hou e, it will have appreciated $:tiM<��, while he i-s ��� inly granted a tax benefit of $1(1(10 , , . leaving him to pay a $.r.2() lux on the ��(MHJ<��nisJ $.2!>OW }|��* luen'l -old l,,s I.oiim* he I*. .'.(Ill living In II as n <jii|et clli/en; Iml every live ycai-i Mr, H<>mmou pi opotcn to come mound and say "You owe un .���nine cash . , . please pay up , . , now," About Uie only way tu uvoid il would be to let the house run down so that its value decreases year after year . . . until it becomes unfit for occupation. It's not as though there were anything indecent in making a profit on the sale of one's house. Most people who sell houses do so to buy another house. Their "profit" usually means-.,tho value of their house is simply keeping up with the general trend of a rising real estate market, and as a result they will be able to buy another house of equal value. Taxing that "profit" simply *%��8ans that the home owner will have to find some more cash from another source if he hopes to sell one house and buy another that is its equivalent. ��� ..-'-.'.'. T' ��������� DEMAND GOVERNS PRICE OF HOUSES For most people, this simply will result in being taxed for inflation from which they don\ benefit, except in fairly rare circumstances. Nor is it likely that house prices are going to slow down in the foreseeable future. Real estate prices usually go up because of increased demand. In all the urban areas of Canada, there is a fixed supply of land and a fast-growing population. That means rising house prices, no matter what. With a capital gains tax on homes, it means Canadians will find it even moro difficult to houso themselves in the future. The same adjustment holds true on the proposal to tax gains on the sole of summer cottages. In this part of the country, at least, vacation property need not be a luxury. Recreational lots can still be bought for less than a new car, and only a few years ago this included waterfront lots. They are by no menns the privilege of the wealthy. ��� , But they are, all marked by sharply rising values, which makes them a nice target for land speculation. Most land speculators, who arc in the business, already pay taxes on their profits, Under the white paper proposals, the man who buys property for enjoyment, nnd sells it later to buy another, could lose a third or more of the sale price to the government, Again, he would bo falling far behind a rising market. TAX GAINS ON HOBBIES The same is true of the proposal to tax gains on hobbles, such as collecting art, stamps, coins, oi anything else that docs not depreciate in value through use, In this case the capital, gains tax does not come into effect, unless the purchase or sale price of the object is more than $!i00, bid H Mill helps to make almost any kind of collecting an expensive hobby, II Is Important to realize here just wind a fairly modes! rate of inflation can do over a few years, An annual price Increase of six per cent, for example, can it expects to get the bulk of its extra revenue under the new proposals from the corporate sector. The increase in taxes on that side of th^^Tedger would have been $560 million if the full system had been in effect in 1969. CORPORATION TAXES COMPLICATED The most important question on cor- " porate tax proposals to the general public is what the new tax proposals will do to the economic growth of the country. They are called "corporate" taxes, and for this reason a great many people dismiss them as tax proposals affecting only "big" business. If should be understood that a corporation can���and often does���consist of only two people, often a man and wife, who choose to incorporate (or make a "limited" or "Ltd." company of) their business for simplicity in accounting and for personal protection in case they can't make a go of their little business. Powell River has something over 200 of these small limited companies, or corporations, as well as its corporate giant, MB Ltd. Most people have a grossly inflated idea of corporate profits, large or small. In Canada, wages and salaries totalled $40 billion lost year, while corporate profits totalled one-fifth of that' . . . only $8 billion, before taxes. ��� Corporation taxes will go up, undor tho proposals, anywhoro from 20% to 140%. Economic experts wonder if that amount of money can be taken out of Canada's investment capital and still allow the growth necessary for a burgeoning population, Small businesses especially, those employing from 2 to 50 people, will find it hard if not impossible to survive; since there are 140,000 small businesses in Canada with an average of 10 employees, one wonders where these l',ij million employees would turn for Jobs if their employer closed up or was swallowed by a giant, (When the amalgamation of a giant and a small business takes place, from one- half "to two-thirds of the existing jobs evaporate,) A study of this article and the one accompanying It will indicate that no one can afford to be smug about the new tax proposals hilling just "the other guy," It Is true they eliminate taxes for a number of Canadians in the under-$300l) a year bracket . . . but this is fair enough in the light of inflated prices. Hut. the Implication*, of'growing unemployment as a result of the new tax proposals, the taking of 2l'Jf of appreciated value on your home and some of your personal possessions whether or not you have cash to pay fen* the unrealized capital gain, Ihe demand for a portion, every five years, of your Investments in savings raise the value of an Item by 50 per cent all these Indicate Hint In about, ten years in seven years, In thin cnao, as with vacation property and homes. the white paper propoaca to drop tho distinction, which exlsta in tho present nyntom, botwoen investment 'for uso or enjoyment nnd investment for profit, A rout- benefit approach lo this decision would ho well worth the effort, The white paper doesn't break down Ihe amount of money It expects to get from the capital gains lax. but Hie total that would enino from Individual*!, If the ttys- lein had been fully applied in I DIM,' Is $'.-..'�� million- lost!

It Is also possible that Mr. Benson's White Paper is a monumental effort in gel hefty new tax Income, lo spend on more and more welfare through wasteful and Inefficient government handling by lho simple method ot proposing a giant confiscation through taxation, and then "relenting" on some points in response to the complaints and protest,*; which were expected ajul which are dally mounting tlirouglioul ('lunula, I,live Hit* man wlio,,wlien usltcil why la* i.tout! hitting his load against a lank wall, said "H leels so good when I ilup Mr. Benson has mi ved up a sweeping i,el of conl is calory pioposals, Hy bucking down on points already determined, in* ���nn make hVi government seem like kind ly, practical people , , , yet he still ends up'With more money than he needs, OTTAWA'S "White Paper" on tax "reform" has been a cleverly ^presented political document which initially struck the average person as a good thing, since it proposed to wipe out income taxes for some, while lowering taxes for others. The implication that .most people in Powell River seem to have taken is that it's a soak=the~-rich proposal, and since it ~ won't affect.them, well, let it be. Why rock the boat? The tax reform proposals have much more serious implications. They would, in effect, bring full socialism into Canada through the back door, with a small group (mostly non-elected advisers) in Ottawa laying out the rules while ignoring Parliament. Individual taxpayers will actually end up paying far more as a result of the proposed tax "reform" in spite of the feeling they now have that they will pay less. These individual taxpayers had better start worrying their MP's about it. Wlr. Benson has been quite free with his time in "explaining" some of the tax proposals to Ordinary people. (His travel expense, over $10,000 for the past year, was the highest of any cabinet minister.) But if you have paid attention to these "explanation^" you will see that this former university professor and onetime accountant is very astute at choosing only the examples which favor his side of the case���billions of dollars more for Ottawa to spend on socialistic programs that will entrench them in office forevermofe. } The first thing you have lo realize about lax systems is lhal politicians rarely lell the truth about them. They talk about equality, justice, fairness and fiscal effect asfhough that's what tax systems were all about. The second thing is that Hie public rarely realizes what it's all about either. People are concerned with what the tax system means to them���whether they'll have to pay more or less, and how much. But that's not the point of tax systems either. The prime single purpose of a tax system is to raise money for governments. After that's ensured, then all the other things that people talk about are taken into account. So far, in the debate about...the federal government's new tax proposals, attention has been focussed on the inconse- quentials. Nobody has looked at it from the basic point of view���how much cash it will bring in. A rough-and-ready projection of the proposed new income tax rates indicates that the new formula, five years after it comes into effect, could be producing at least $2 billion a year more in income tax revenues than the existing rates would. If the rates aren't changed, the extra revenue would grow rapidly-with , each extra year, automatically giving the government a bigger and bigger share of the country's economy. The reasons for this are interesting, and it is hard to believe they haven't been carefully calculated by the federal civil servants who drew up the federal white paper on tax reform. To understand the reasons for the increased revenue, and its implications, it is first necessary to have a picture pt the Canadian income tax system; and the distribution of incomes in Canada. The income tax system works quite simply���it takes in a small amount of revenue from a -fairly large number of people at the bottom of the income scale, a massive amount of money from the majority of people in the middle and upper middle of the income range, and a small amount from the tiny number of people at the top. In 100G, for example, the system worked like this: At tho bottom of the scale were, 1,7 million people who earned less than $3,000 in that year; they paid less than five percent of the total tax collected, . At the top were 6,600 people wjdh incomes over $50,000; they paid 5 Ms per cent of the tax. Tho other 00 per cont of tho money collected como from the 4.6 million taxpayers whoso incomes ranged from ��3,000 to $50,000. The second key point is the range of incomes In the country. In 196(1, the incomes reporto"d by Canadian 'taxpayers broke down like this: BIG GROUP EARNS S5000 TO $10,000 ,. The biggest income class by far, both In number of taxpayers nnd total Income earned, was those people earning between $5,000 and $10,000���but. that's not the whole story. Far more Important is the rate at which those income classes are growing. When 11)0(1 is compared with 11)110, for example, it shows that practically all of tho growth comes above the $5,000 income level. What tills means Is that between 1.MI0 and 1011(1 the number of taxpayers In the Income classes over $5,0110 more than doubled. The number earning between $10,000 and $25,000 nearly tripled, As average Incomes started picking up sharply In 1005 and 10IH1, the first two of the last four Inflationary years, those rates of Increase grow even more sharply, In the immediate future, Ibis pattern shouldn't change significantly, Trade union members, for example, are now Marling to spill over into the $10,000-25,- (100 class along with Ihe Junior executives, Manufacturing wages are now high enough that most people .coming Into lho labor force will start off earning more than $5,000 n year, II anything, Ihe future will bring even sharper rises in tho number of people earning more Hum $5,(1110 a vear. example, has calculated that income tax revenues, using the l'969 rates, would rise from a total of $5.1 billion in 1967 to $12.8 billion in 1975. This is an increase of 150 per cent, even though the country's Wealth was only expected to-grow by 53 per cent in the same period. But the federal government does not Intend IcTkeep lhe^969^ales. Il proposes to change them, and in a very significant way. First, the white paper proposes that ��� income taxes be eliminated for 750,000 persons on the bottom end of the income "scale, by raising personal exemptions. If it had done that simply by exempting everyone earning less than $3,000 a year from paying income tax, that would be cheap���it would have cost less than five* per cent of income tax revenues in 1966. The government will also cut the top tax rates, which now rise to more than 80 per cent, down to 51 per cent as the capital gains tax is introduced. That too is cheap, because there are only a few thousand taxpayers- paying more- than 51 per cent on any part of their, income.. It's what happens in the middle that's interesting. The income lax rates now start at 14 per cent, and don't go over 21 per cent until taxable income reaches $2,000. The new rates start at nearly 22 percent, and go up faster from there than. the old-rates do. The result of all this is that the new rates and exemptions ease taxes at the lower income levels, but start to bite more heavily at anywhere from $3,000 to $12,- 000 of income, depending on how many exemptions the taxpayer qualifies for. And the income levels which get more heavily hit are those where the number of taxpayers is growing fastest. The government has given up a small amount of revenue from the slow-growth income classes in return for a larger share of the money from the fast-growth classes. The white paper, and. the government's subsequent comments on it, carefully refrain from speculating on what the effect of the new rates will be on government revenues oyer an extended time period. In fact, there is even some doubt about what the immediate revenue effect of the new system -will be. The white paper says that the new system, if it had been fully applied in 1969, would have meant $630. million more in government revenue���$30 million more from the new personal income tax system plus capital gains tax, and $600 million more from corporate tax changes. TAX REVENUES LEAP But the Ontario government, which fan the white paper proposals through its oWn computer, found that the immediate revenue increase should be at least $1000 million, and perhaps more. Ontario's results indicated the white paper seriously underestimated the potential revenue increases from the new system, and over-estimated the potential losses. That may just boil down lo an argument about whose computer is right��� Ontario's or Ottawa's. Still it seems amazing that a country can contemplate going into a major tax reform with that much doubt about what its effect will be���even in the first year. But it doesn't Jake a computer to see tl^i't income taxes will grow faster under the new system���the only question Is how much faster. Assume Canadian incomes grow at the fairly modest rate experienced in 1960-66 ���considerably less than the rate of the last two or-three years.- If the income growth keeps occurring mainly in the middle and upper income levels, then the white paper system would probably produce $2 billion a year more, five years after it is introduced, than the old rates would have done. The longer the implementation of the white paper is delayed, and the faster incomes grow, the wider the gap.will be. This leads to two other questions that the while paper answers only imperfectly, "ot not at all: Are Canadian income taxes loo high, and what will happen to the extra revenue? , The white paper appears to answer the first question by claiming that the new system would mean that most Canadians would pay less in income tax plus Canada Pension Plan contributions than they would pay in the U.S.' for income tax and social security contributions. Unfortunately, this answer is hardly, satisfactory. In the first place,; a^ j|ie time of the comparison the American taxpayer was paying a 10 per cent surtax on top of his regular income tax. In the second place, the U.S. government has just cut its income taxes by a substantial amount. U.S. TAXES CUT The results are instructive. The Americans have also cut taxes at the lower income levels���but they've cut taxes all the way up, toop The new rates are sharply lower than those proposed in the white paper. By 1973, when the U.S. cuts are fully implemented, a married couple with two children ahd income of $5,000 a year will pay $140 a year in federal income taxes; in Canada, under the white paper, they would pay $608. If their income were $J.O,000, they would pay $905 in the U.S. and $1,830 here. At $20,000 they would pay $3,010 in the U.S. and. $5,722 in Canada. The same kind of differences will exist all across the board. In the U.S., of course, there .would be state income tax on top of the federal levy in many casos, but it would rarely be enough to make up the differences. That's not the only problem. The American taxpayer has far more deductions available to him than his Canadian counterpart, including such major items as interest on his mortgage. The conclusion is simple: Whether or not income taxes in Canada are "too high" they are certainly considerably higher than in the U.S., our main competitor for the brains of our most able people. The other question���what will happen to the extra moneylhe government stands to get under the new rate structure���just can't be answered. No government likes to admit how much money it's going to take out of people's pockets and the federal government so far hasn't done so. But nothing could make a government happier than to know it is going to have a lot of extra money in the future. If the white paper does "mean an extra few billion in income taxes for the government that money would be'politically useful around about the time of the next election to reduce Ihe income' lax rales the government wiil just have applied. It could also be used to eliminate the 11 per cent federal sales tax which people have been complaining about for years but which successive governments have maintained sirnply because Ihey needed the money. Or the government could keep the money and use it to finance new programs to entice the voters. It's a nice flexible position to be in-^at the taxpayer's expense.- rafafafaTafararafaTafl^^ What can YOU do? . . . �� ��� ��� ���WiE(S AS MORE and more "average" people become aware of the implications of tho Benson White Paper ns it will affect their own personal plans, and they become more alarmed at what amounts to government, takeover of their private assets, the question arises: "What can wo do?"

Our family misses worshipping in church with people who share our beliefs. Other people in the logging camps also miss this as evidenced by the religious reading material in the camp "library". * Our family has solved this problem in several ways. One is by listening to inspirational radio programs. Another is through subscribing to Christian reading, material. Finally we hold our own worship services. ��� These services are very simple. We sing "favorite hymns, have prayer, and read a chapter from the Bible. Lastly, we discuss how we can apply Christian principles in our own lives. When we lived., in town our lives centred around ..church activities but we seldom found time as a family to discuss our beliefs. "Out here we've had time to read through the New Testament and to discuss with our children what it says. Some of our discussions are long and lively; such as when, we talked about how we should spend our money. Other talks are "briefer, -more subdued. But they all make us think for ourselves, examine what we believe and why we believe it. The one question which pops up again and again is ���do we believe it enough to live it? Several times other people have joined with us for "church". Once a Catholic couple met with us. Another time it was a family who doesn't attend church. Still another instance was a family who'belongs., to a different Protestant denon.if.a- tion than we do. Out of the ensuing discussions -we, and our children, .learned much about the other's .beliefs. More important, we all worshipped God. During warm weather we held; church on the beach. We sat in the warm sun, looking out over the blue water, and sang hymns; such as "The Cleansing Wave". God seemed very near ahd real. Our open air services sometimes had ���-by Pat Kcr.oyet strange visitors, it was common for our dogs and cat to follow us to the beach and lie quietly at our feet through the ��� entire service. Once a heron flew to the top of a nearby tree and remained there, at attention, until church was over. Another time an osprey interrupted the service by repeatedly Swooping down to the water in front of us after food. ��� While life in the wilderness does lack because we're unable to attend regular church services, yet it has its spiritual benefits. I think anyone would gain from a period spent out here where there is time and solitude lo examine life and oneself. Because of our time lived here the members of our family are better fitted to occupy a responsible place in today's complex and troubled society. A sign in an elevator in, Japan stated that employes wearing red badges spoke English. At the bottom of the sign was this further note: "Please speak easy English."

He is now at Frobisher on Baffin Ysland where during January, they had a r temperature of 30 below zero fahreflheit accompanied by winds of 100 miles per hour. This combination, of wind and temperature produces a chill factor far exceeding 100 degrees below.- ; Exposed flesh freezes almost instantly. To go outdoors, he wore a parka ���which completely covered his face, leaving only two eyeholes. Within the parka he wore goggles. Feet and hands being also sheathed in clothing, no flesh was exposed to the wind. He could move among houses in the settlement with one hand on the guide rope which is run among them. Such a wind raises so much snow that visibility is almost zero. A man's hand cannot be seen at his arm's length. Ropes are the only method of guiding people from one building to the next. ���- I wondered once again, as we sat in my office, what it is about the Arctic which so powerfully attracts some men that danger and discomfort appear to be matters of such scant consideration. By ordinary terms, Mr. Nair is as unlikely a northerner as could be found. He is a dark-skinned man from the c.ity of Tri- vandrum in Kerala, India. He was born in the tropics. His parents and the rest of his close, relatives remain there now. - His choice was. to come to Canada and to become a Canadian for the specific purpose of going to live in the Arctic. "From school days, "I was always fascinated with the Far North," he said, J"We read about the Eskimos and the snows and the ice and it was always my dream that some day I would go there." Mr. Nair became a wireless operator and sailed for a time on British cruise ships. He applied for entry into Canada in 1958, telling our surprised and dubious immigration authorities that he wanted to live in the North. He became a citizen in 1963. ^ H>-went promptly to the north, first ^s-^a wireless operator for the federal department of transport, more recently as an employee of the department of northern development. In 12^. years, he has crisscrossed much of the vast empty lands to the north of us comfortable Canadians. He listed them: beginning at Winnipeg, he went to Brochet in Northern Manitoba, then Ennedai Lake, on the Barren lands, NWT; Resolute, in the High Arctic and Alert, which is only about 400 miles from the North Pole. Then Mould Bay, Resolute again, Sudbury and Nakina in northern Ontario and Dorc Bay in Manitoba; Sachs Harbor of the High Arctic, Whitehorse and Ashanak in Yukon Territory; Fort Smith and Fort Reliance in the Northwest Territories again, then briefly ..in Ottawa and Calgary and- again north: Norman Wells, NWT, Smith River on the Alaska Highway, Resolute again and now Frobisher. '"*',- He is a licensed pilot. He builds his own stereo sets. He has taken a couple of thousands photographs of the north. He says he has no intention of ever coming to the south ��� by which he means not the tropics in which he was born and raised but such places as Ottawa where, on the night of our conversation a blizzard was- turning everything into a howling white confusion; In April or May this year he is to marry a girl, also from Kerala, India, who is now a university professor and who has never seen the Arctic, They will marry in Ottawa by tho Hindu rites, probably in the Unitarian Church on Algonquin Street. "I have no religion, but I attend the Unitarian Church.") ** rtI have told her all the worst things nbout life in the Arctic and I have said ���That is where I am going to be and that is where I am going to .stay'." While we wore talking u visitor dropped into my office ��� Lloyd Francis, ono of tho members of parliament for Ot- tawu city. We broke open a bottle of tea, which is a good old northern remedy for blizzards, ond Lloyd put the question that I had not, "What's ko great about the Arctic?" Well, there was challenge, sold Ron. And there was unspoiled beauty ��� there wu.i no air in the south ho fresh as he breathed. "But I admit there are only two feelings about the Arctic. You love it or you hate It. There is no in-bctween."

Pender Harbour , ���. ��� Students meet with adults dispdse of generation gap PENDER Harbour's meeting between students and adults was ah outstanding success according to reports received.

Governments at both levels are now adopting^*' realistic approach to this pnrtjtkflaT\prnhlem hilt without doiibt would not have done so without a little prodding here and there. Therefore it is fairly obvious the protests raised by such responsible groups as Rod arid " tin Clubs have had the desired affect. What has becrTsadly overlooked, in the shuffle is the fact that while most of , the protests have involved pollution by sewage, industrial pollution and, in some cases, protests by those who figure we can survive without industrial Or commercial enterprises, a much more undesirable form of pollution passes^unnoticed. This is the litter and debris left in the wake of people who are too ignorant to seek a refuse container as they unwrap cigarette and candy while stolling down our streets or drive along the high- *way. It is a comparatively simple matter to retain paper wrapping or cigarette packets until it is possible to dispose of in- an intelligent matter, but no, this is never given a thought for it is too easy The result is, some of our sidewalks and boulevards are a disgrace. They arc an eyesore and a reflection upon human nature as a whole. - The pntario Highways Department expended $700,000 last year in order to remove broken glass, cigarette packages, waste paper. and other junk frpm. its highways and roads. This sum is expected to increase to more than a million dollars annually. In one northern community, members of a sportsn .cn!sj-jub collected 20 hampers of man-made and man-distributed garbage along a quarter mile stretch of ���stream. Multiplied by the rthousands of miles of streams, and lakesides. in the more popular areas across Canada we have one big mess. , _. There are people on the poUiition." bandwaggon who pollute the air by simply walking through it. It is somewhat confusing to observe some of those who cry loudest, puffing away at cigarettes, pipes or cigars. Others will think nothing of throwing a beer bottle into the bush orr on the rocks where it smashes and_ present a hazard. To quote one writer; No creature fouls its habitat more.than man.,It seems that-ntrAv, Especially with the new throw- away bottles and cans and atlother disposable wonders of our technology, it is time to educate and enforce against littering. For if w<s fail tp do this, the outdoors and the city streets will become a pigsty. JOMEJHING new in the way of autonomy has been offered Directors of the Sunshine Coast Regional District and if a ruling by the newly appointed Chairman is to be accepted, then individual directors become powers unto themselves. What appears to be an extremely unhealthy situation has arisen, and one very far removed from the general concept of a Regional District. That is a policy the chairman claims to have been established whereby any director is free to act on his own oh an issue which does not involve the Board as a whole. The answer to that is "hogwash" and it is extremely 'doubtful if the Department of Municipal Affairs would tolerate such a dictatorial attitude which, in effect, permits a director to take up an issue and register protest or approval to a governmental department without first taking the matter "to the Board. Such a proposal would mean each of the eight electoral areas within the Regional District would have its,own director who is free to act as a one man Board, providing, of course, the matter involved is riot a function of the main Regional Board. A very cozy situation indeed particularly for those with a desire for power. Chairman Cliff Gilker stated he sees no reason why this should not be, "councils in Gibsons and Sechelt might not permit it but I know it is done elsewhere", he said. Wc do not question the right of an Alderman, Trustee or Director to write letters on behalf of his area or community but ethics would demand that he, or she, make clear the fact they arc NOT writing on behalf of the Board or Council as a whole, or indeed would it be ethical even to imply such a thing. The School Act clearly states; "The rights, powers, duties and, liabilities of , a Board of School Trustees rest ONLY with the legally constituted. Board and NOT with committees of trustees or individual trustees. The Municipal Act relating to councils and municipalities and referring rjo powers of Mayors states; He shall establish standing commiMccs for any purposes which he considers would be better ^regulated and managed by such committees, and appoint members of Ihe council thereto; HUT the proceedings of nil such committees shall be subject to the approval bf the Council, save in .so far as such proceedings may be in pursuance of any authority delegated to such committees or any one of (hem under subsection (2) of section 181. This section states; Council may, by bylaw adopted by an affirmative vote of at least two thirds of all the members thereof, delegate authority to a standing committee established under section 179, with such restrictions or conditions as arc specified in Ihe bylaw, to exercise any of the executive or administrative powers of Hit IglUlH the council. Elsewhere the Municipal Act makes clear the fact that apart from Letters Patent and where otherwise provided, a Regional Board or Regional District is to be considered as if it were a District Municipality. To clarify the situation even further, a phone call,to the Department of Municipal Affairs revealed the fact thai not only does a councillor, trustee or director NOT have powers to act on his own, 'but neither does a Mayor or Chairman. Certainly any one is free to write stating he is one or other of these elected representatives, but has no right to say, or imply, that he is writing or acting on behalf of the Board or Council. We-would suggest, an act of this nature would not only be unethical it could even provide grounds for a charge of malfeasance. Fletchers Philosophy ���Harry W.

For this is the day, as some preacher once said, To claim for my own and be glad of it; But up to the time that I got out of bed Few minutes were all that I had of it.

Sad commentary Editor, The" Time's, Sir, It is a sad commentary on the administration of, the Regional Boaid when unethical and illegal (sec.' 179 & 181 of Municipal Act) use of Board stationery is not only allowed but even endorsed as official Board policy,. What matter of minds can rationalize the contravention of Provincial Municipal Law �� and complete disregard for administrative ethics and "procedure. If the Board carries on (its .pther business in such an irresponsible manner we indeed have cause for serious concern. . The .letter in question was the one written by Mr. Frank West to the P.U.C. regarding the Village of Gibsons proposed sewage treatment facilities and its outfall at Gower Point. While written on Board stationery it was solely upon his own .initiative that it was sent. He had no direction- whatever from the Board to do so. ; _ Now the Board has not Only condoned Mr. West's action but made it official policy in the future. What possible control can the electorate be guaranteed when under such a policy, a copy need not even be on file? The subject of Mr.. West's letter, can lain a little more sympathy. However the Village- is planningon a- second ��� stage- treatment facility. This is more than "adequate' temporarily; and in any event, all the Village can afford' without financial assistance from Senior Governments. Mr. West might be better to direct his admirable pollution control attitude at far more serious, of fenders. \Vhjle the Village of Gibsons is installing a realistically -.naj.imum treatment facility, the St. Mary's Hospital effluent line is dumping crudely treated sewage directly into the bay. Their, effluent line is at such a low tide level that it permits sewage to bubble <to the surface. Mr. West isf a member of the Hospital Board. Mr. West is also a high ranking staff employee at Port Mellon. Now there is a pollutant source about which Jto. be greatly concerned. Mr. West denies this fact, no doubt due to his proximity to the hand that feeds. Mr. West's concern over the proposed Gower Point outfall arises mainly because that is where he resides. It may not have occurred to Mr. West that there aire nearly as many homes along that waterfront as there are oh Gibsons proposed sewer system. The difference is Gibsons sewage will be well treated while all those homes out his way dump their untreated, filthy effluent directly in the water. We welcome, bold initiatives from our elected representatives and their official bodies. But let '������ lis' .please have them tempered with a little more rationality, maturity and above all, responsibility. Michael A- Blaney First step Editor, The. Times, . . . Sir: "Drop-in" .discussion organized at Pender Harbour Elementary School oh February 3 jointly by the .PTA, the Stu- ��� dent's Council and,the School Board was for m,e one of the most inspiring, interesting and beneficial meetings I have ever attended. In view of what was accomplished, let us hope it will be" just a first step in the effort to bridge the generation gap by closer understanding and co-operation. ��� After accompanying the Pender Harbour basket-ball team to Squamish for their game last weekend, I have no hesitation in saying that we Can be very proud of our teenagers and they undoubtedly deserve more credit than has sofrie- times been given to them in.the past! MARY KINGSTON (Mrs.) President, Pender Harbour PTA Not an orgy Editor, The Times, Sir: As one who attended the dance, Sat. Jan. 24 at Elphinstone Auditorium, ' I wish to tell you what 1 saw.concerning that dance. In my estimation, "hippie types" made up about 40 per cent of the people there. Tho remaining ffo per cent were the ".straight, short haired, people". I consider the RCMP officer's estimate of 75 per cent "hippies" far out of lino. There was chinking and marijuana smoking, although.at no time was there any trouble that I could .we, inside the donee, 1 saw no couples lying about tho floor in ".stage,*, of undress", but there wore couples sitting on the perimeter of the auditorium nnd in tho bleachers quietly. These people acted very 'well and both-" r*rc*rt no-one, Tho only people "who were "in stages of undress" were two young male "hippies" who were bare from the waist up, 1 don't know why, because their physiques left something to he desired, If it. was done for tho sake of young women at the dance, I didn't see the spotlight phone on the RCMP officer although there were lights In live back of the nudltorlum used as part of tho "light show." Ynu didn't state In your article what type of "orgy: the .Sechelt Chamber of Commerce expressed Concern over, but 1 must insist that the. dance was not a sex orgy, a, drinking orgy or ti^dopo fiend- orgy. The majority of the .people there were enjoying themselves and acting their ages, only,;.a small minority, as usual we're engaging" in dope smoking, drinking and making fools of themselves. I hope you will realize that most of the young people in this area resent the fact that you did not give them a chance to tell the public their side of the story be- " fore your article was published. I feel' that people on certain boards and organizations throughout the district may now have biased and preconceived ideas of young peoples dances and may take steps to stop future ones from taking place. There is little for young people to do in the area in the way of dances, and social functions ahd it would be a shame to see all dances stopped because of your poorly reported article, combined with the antic? of a minority of people who. always^ manage to spoil Jhings forthe majority. _ Hoping_.you_ \yjll__come out in support "of the majority of young "people and hear our side of the story, I remain, LYLE G. DAVEY Gibsons, BC Editor's comment: It is quite true the trouble makers, radicals and pot smokers form but a minority and we quite agree that by far the majority of young people are responsible. Most adults realize this liut unfortunately the rabble have the sad .habit of making a lot of noise. As interference by we squares of society appears to be strongly resented by youth of today, then we would suggest responsibility ffcr house cleaning rests solely upon their able young shoulders.
