HARASSED BY A guide for the harassed businessmen come tax-pay- ing time has been updated by its author, Gordon W. Riehl, an Oshawa chartered accountant, Mr. Riehl has revised his book, 'Incorporation and Income Tax in Canada' for - the fourth edition which has just hit the bookstalls. The work is an analysis of the combined effects of legisla- tive and administrative rul- ings which bind -- business taxes. The author points out that the groundwork for favor- able tax treatment must be laid out in the early days of the company's life -- before things have a chance to get tangled up. The 200-page book has been updated each time leg- islation ,has altered tax rates. "The forthcoming budget might put this edi- tion out of date," said Mr. Riehl. "They are always changing the rules in this game." The work deals with the taxation of corporations and compares the rates with those of one-man operations.

Colonel 'Sam' Retorts ITU General Printers is 'delib- erately attempting' to mislead city council, says Oshawa Typo- graphical Union, Local 969. Thomas Thomson, president, in a letter received by council last night, "refuted" several statements made by D, M. Alloway, executive vice-presi- dent of General Printers, in a letter to council two weeks ago. "The statement that the prin- ters are on strike to resist auto- mation is not true and to say that our International has in- structed us to do so, is to say, the least, a deliberate attempt to mislead the council," wrote Mr. Thomson: "It is regrettable that Mr, Alloway will not desist from muddling issues with false- hoods," he added. Members of the Oshawa local have been on strike at General Printers for 10 months. "The printers in Oshawa are engaged in a strike to obtain a first contract that will give them decent working conditions and job security," said Mr. Thom- son, "TAPES REPLACE WORK! He said the union takes the position that since tapes repjace work previously done by line- casting operators and since someone has to perforate the tapes, then union operators should perform the operation. "The company takes another attitude and hence the dispute," said Mr, Thomson, "We are not opposed to automatic linecasting machines nor the use of tapes. The issue revolves around who is going to perforate these tapes to activate the machines." Mr. Thomson said the Inter- General Printers Chie Misled Council: ITU Man On Strike For Contract, Local Prexy working at General Printers under union agreement, we would be greatly suprised if these 'many' exceeded 15," said Mr. Thomson adding that they are connected with the com- posing room just as gasoline is connected to the operation of an automobile," The Local president said issues in the Toronto dispute (at three daily newspapers) are not the same as in Oshawa and that Oshawa printers will settle its dispute independently of Tor- onto. "We wish the company would do likewise," said. Mr. Thom- son. "FAIR PLAY POLICY" He said council would not be setting a precedent by refusing to buy from a struck plant since the principle has been estab- lished in a "'fair play policy, .. where it is stipulated that in case of a contract for the re- air, construction or alteration of any building, the contractor shall be required to be in con- tractual relationship with a union affiliated with the Build- ing and Construction Trades Council of Oshawa." Mr. Thomson said the lack of progress cannot be blamed upon the mayor, his associates on council nor upon the union," for we have attempted on numerous occasions and always in good faith to find a settlement." He said the attempts have either been met with outright refusal of the company to sit down with the union, "or when we did sit down, the issues were avoided through personal at- tacks upon our people or we were faced with an ultimatum Lauded Again to surrender and then talks The highest award the On- tario Medical Association can bestow -- honorary member- ship -- will be awarded May 12 to Col.

Mr. McLaughlin will join the select company of three other non-medical persons in the list of 15 living honorary members: Former governor-general Vin- cent Massey, Mr. Justice Carl Stewart of the Supreme Court of Ontario, and Mrs, T.

'Tax Relief 'Parley For City Council The question of municiapl taxation relief will be discussed by city council at a special all- council. committee meeting. Ald. Clifford Pilkey said last night tax relief resolutions re- ceived by the city from other municipalities are a "hodge podge way attacking tit problems." He said council endorses some of the resolutions and _ turns down others. "I'm sure we all agree. with parts of the resolutions but most of them don't go far enough," said Ald. John Brady. of Ontario Premier John Robarts said Monday that the government - established advi- sory board on the detention of patients will study the case of \Erederick Fawcett and give an opinion on his possible release from the Hospital for the Crim- inally Insane at Penetangui- shene. The Euphrasia Township farmer was committed to the hospital in 1961 after an alleged shooting at two tax inspectors and assaulting one of them. The premier ruled out a New Democratic Party plea- for public enquiry into the case, saying that the courts had already ruled upon Fawecett's sanity and the government could not act as an appeal court. His proposal won bouquets and brickbats from some Osh- Bouquets And Brickbats For Fawcett Proposal awa residents polled by the Times. | "I think that Premier Robarts has come up with an excellent solution," said Crown Attorney Bruce Affleck. 'This is basically a problem which lies within the purview of the medical authorities -- and they lare best equipped to make a de- cision.

COUNTY TO B E BLANKETED The fight against tuberculosis started today in Oshawa and the southern half of Ontario County. . A major section of the mass tuberculosis survey got under- way when tests started in the industries of the whole district. And officials say co-operation received from the management of industries' has been splendid. Coverage is expected to be well up to the 100 per cent mark. The survey, conducted by the Ontario County Tuberculosis and Health Association in conjunc- tion with the Ontario Depart- ment of Health, will be com- pleted about the end of June A large force of volunteer) workers has been undergoing training and carrying out ex- tensive preliminary arrange- ments. A training session, under Mrs Donald Stiles of Oshawa, was held this week for Whitby, Brooklin and Whitby Township volunteers in Whitby. Another training session was held today in the Dr. S. J. Phillips school in Oshawa. For Pickering and Uxbridge Township and village volun- teers, a training session will be held in Pickering April 27. Dr. C. C, Stewart, Qshawa's Medical Officer of Health and his staff, have already started their annual testing of kinder- garten and Grade 1 city pupils. Special plans have been made by Dr. J. Chmara, medical of- ficer at General Motors of Can- ada, for all the workers in the plant and offices to take part in the survey-and take the tests. These will be scheduled over the survey period so as to en- able all workers to take advan- tage of the service. The survey in Oshawa schools will start April 28. On May 11, the survey will be carried into the rural schools of the area being covered. The main survey, taking in the whole population of the southern half of the County, will start May 25. Prior to that time the location and times for the tests will be announced. It is the aim of the South Ontario. com- mittee in charge of the survey to reach a figure of at least 75 per cent participation by the public ih the survey. Dr. H. A. Richmond, general chairman, today stressed the importance from a public health standpoint of the survey: "The tuberculosis picture in Qntario cannot be taken too lightly," said Dr. Richmond. "It is a constant battle to keep the incidence rate under con- trol. Currently, approximately five people per day enter On- tario's sanatoria, 70 per cent of whom are in an advanced stage of . tuberculosis. It is only through the efforts of the public that we can keep these figures down, and the Ontario County Anti-TB Sweep Gets Underway association is prepared to offer the citizens of the district the opportunity of being a part of the international fight against tuberculosis." Dr, Richmond added that the relatively new "HEAF" method of testing will be used. "The health department has trained three special teams of registered nurses in HEAF test- ing, an absolutely painless meth- od of administering the test." The tuberculin test will indi- cate if any person has ever been in direct contact with tubercu- losis. It will not show active dis- ease, but all persons who show @ reaction will be x-rayed,
