Coy Br NA es rie NU AER AR 5 OSTA A iN : 5 BEAST IR SE LPC SV . ut = 10 -- PORT PERRY STAR, THURSDAY, MARCH bth," 1064 This and That By SOBIEN TWACKLE BECAUSE of the pressure of work and other activities, I have, of recent weeks, rather neglected to visit my old time friend -- Percival Thistlewort. However, earlier this week, with' a few leisure hours at my dis- posal and the weather being moderate, I called upon my friend Percival, after supper hour, "Twas as well I called. Per- cival, under normal circumstan- ces, is a man of sharp mind, well able to grasp and solve any problem, however intricate. Percival's living room, when I entered, was enclouded with cigarette smoke and I sensed a feeling of mental turmoil and anguish and utter frustration. The floor, chairs and table were littered with countless pieces of paper, upon which Percival had been, doing the most intricate and advanced mathematics. Percival sat hunched in his chair and on the table in front of him, half co- vered with the aforementioned: papers, lay the source of his turmoil -- his' income tax T1 SHORT form. Now, Percival works a little. That is to say, Percival works for a short time, then rests and then gets another job, etec., and so .on through the year, So Percival's problem was compli- cated by a rather unusual num- ber of T4 slips. © My {friend Percival is an exact man. So, in order to comply to the letter, he had ob- tained the official publication 'PREPARATION OF YOUR INCOME TAX RETURN' HERE'S HOW! The only trouble was that the section of this form that contained the English translation was torn off and only the French side, remained. "And Percival does . registered mail, collect. not speak or read French, But its do or die with Percival and he would not consider any help from me. First of all, Percival had add- ed up all his numerous T4 slips and as in some cases he had only worked two or three days, these were many. He had to list them all on a piece of fool- scap and then glue this sheet to the T1 SHORT form. Then, as income, he added all the tax, deducted what he thought he should receive as a yearly pen- sion under the new federal plan and wrote off as a loss the $15.00 he earned at an odd job but for which he never did get paid. Percival then tallied these fi- gures and arrived at an income figure of minus $922.57. Then came the deductions: -- $1000.00 for Percival to start with. Then he added the total of his medical bills, including the bill for his new. dentures, plus his church collections, plus the yearly dues for the several local social clubs he belongs to, for a total of. $1,639.22, Now to the calculation of tax. Percival added his minus income to his. deductions and got $2,461.79. He looked up this amount on the SIMPLE CAL- CULATION :OF TAX SHEET and saw Federal Tax payable in the amount of $347.00 and Provincial Tax for $55.90. Ac- cording to Percival's reckon- ing, this amounted to a total of $2,864.69. : Now, as I.mentioned before, its all or nothing with Percival so when he looked at the OLD AGE SECURITY TAX (39% of TAXABLE INCOME) or $90.00 he figured he'd go the whole hog and put in for the $90.00, which gave him a grand total of $3,954.69. This amount he has demanded as a REFUND from Ottawa, Percival sent in his claim, by I tried NEW DUO - HEET COMBINATION FURNACE DUO-HEET CO.
