georgetown herald pam ky hm rtawaaupan iknknl m mn srl south georgetown ontario w c ihhn pvotuhar thursday august 17lh 167 editorial comment help for senior residents soma time ago we wrote an editorial criticizing communities which hid exempt ed senior citizen from portion of their municipal tax which goes lo education had we been familiar with ihe tegis- lation allowing this wa would have been writing in reverse as we do this week now that georgetown has embarked on a similar policy the town is going to give the advan tage of new provincial legislation the mun icipal and school tax credit assistance act to those who desire this and we heartily endorse it under the act a person 65 or over resident in a house which he owns may be given a tax credit equal to half his mun icipal and school taxes to a maximum of j150 this a lifetime gift to the properly owner but not to his estate after his death any such credit is a charge against his estate and will be collected from his heirs the town meanwhile loses no tax rev enue as the ontario government makes cp this money in lis grant structure advantages are obvious lo older peo ple in our rapidly rising economy a pejqd today living on a fixed in come wfich might have been quite ade quale a few years ago is caught in a price squeeze his cost of living keeps acceler aimg while his income remains sialic if his family cares ihen he gels an assist when needed end in such leases many senior citizens will not even be in teresled in the act but there are some who after raising their families do nol receive the love and respect they merit it is here particularly that an extra 150 yearly can help meet living expenses and give a bit extra for a little luxury withoct harm to anyone olher than those who someday will inherit the property or it can be too that children are having their own hard times scraping by and cannot afford lo give dad a hand much as they might went to details of the plan are included in an advertisement elsewhere m this issue of the herald the district at a glance excellent swimming results results of the red cross swimming tests at the community pool this year were ex eel lent and speak well for the staff which works so faithfully to instruct and protect our young people in this sport tt has not been the best of seasons weather wise for either swimmers or staff with a preponderance of rain and chilly days that the instructors stuck to their fob and taught their skills to a large group of young people ft a credit to them sometimes we are inclined to take for granted such fine facilities as our swim minfl pool those of us who were in town when it was built know that only through the efforts of the lions club was it pos tible public reception to a fund campaign et the time was not good and the service dub members pledged themselves to a huge expenditure and paid it off with summer well spent refresher courses offered georgetown students et a special summer school m trampton were taken advantage of by 54 gdhs pupils who had not done so well in their scboolwork last year and wanted to brush up in certain iubects the idea should pay off handsomely for the students in many cases being the difference between a hard struggle in next term s course without the proper back ground of knowledge which could mean failure at the yearend the school had a secondary advan tage too in allowing students to take a hard work at a number of fund raising ev ents the pool when it was financially clear was then presented to the town add ing a wonderful asset to a community whose natural
