jfctt pxtss editorial page canada and geography sugar and spice back issues by bill smiley we read this week one mans sug gestion that since onethird of our total earnings goes to taxes we can assume that the next four months of 1966 we are making not a penny for ourselves all of it will go to the government of course that was assuming that our own expenses came first and taxes last and we know thats not the way it is the taxes have to be paid first and we spend whats left ourselves welfare baby bonus hospitalization subsidies pension schemes a lot of the tax money is handed back again after passing through the red tape of govern mental departments some of the taxes are increased because these things used to be looked after by individual enter prise while we wonder where the govern ments

progress the idea of a new status symbol the neighboring county of welling ton dominates the field in regard to the population of horses throughout on tario this situation has existed for sev eral years and is believed to be the re sult of so many residents of this area being interested in riding and show animals and of course the existence of the ontario agricultural college in guclph likely halton shared in this change in the picture as far do dobbin is con cerned in other sections of the piovmcc the horse is gradually fading from the farm animal prcturc according to official fig ures of ihe ontario department of agri culture and food wellington county attending to the latest census has some a 000 horses which is the highest density of this once necessary farm animal in the province waterloo county is next with 3 80o horses and it is estimated that about 1 500 of these arc used by mcnnomte farmers more and more farms in the acfoli area are owned by people who have full- time obs
