Page THE GEORGETOWN HERALD THURSDAY JULY Clergy Comment Jesus Christ Shall We Get With Him It would not be surprising If TIME selected Jesus Christ as its the Year Is the recent statement of the well known editor of a widely read magazine And If we read our papers and magazines hear and watch the newa we know that Indeed no one seems to turn as many people and especially young people on as the Man of Galilee whom the Christian Church on authority of the Holy Scriptures confesses to be the Son of God the Redeemer or the world It seems that many millions frustrated by the failures of philosophies programs actions and Isms rediscover Kim who did not say I teach or 1 show or I call for a new way and a new life but I am the Way and the Truth and the Life It looks as If Africa may be predominately Christian In just three decades In South America Korea Indonesia the conversion or people to Jesus Christ outpaces the population growth several times Even in Russia and Eastern European countries as well as In China the community of christians seems to grow And what is popularly known today as the the Jesus movement has spread like wildfire in North America From Ashbury college it spread rapidly throughout the student world on almost all major cam puses And the interest Is not first of all in the area of changing society though It is the apparent moral and social bankruptcy of family and society that brought it on No the people involved deeply felt the necessity that they themselves as well as others must become new people first with new standards of morality and personal altitudes before we can not only break the old establishment but Indeed work for a new society They discover the truth of what the apostle Paul says When you are in Christ when you have a real personal life relationship with Him then you are a new creature Cor 5 And only as a natural result of this they tackle in new ways with new attitudes and with remarkable success the problems of family sex drugs pollution and social injustice And the striking thing about it is that this spiritual revival does not stop at any denominational boun dartes Roman Catholics Anglicans Protestants of all colours are part of it Now we can consider this just another fad though hard bitten secular Journalists have covered the scene and come away deeply impressed by the love joy peace and high code of morality that prevails We can also in our beautiful little town of Georgetown keep on living our happy and prosperous lives looking after ourselves and our own closed churches communities and fellowships and let the world go by But If as many of us still say and at a little bit on Sunday morning Jesus Christ is indeed God a answer to man problems then I would suggest that we do something about it right here Vet Interested people come together from time to time for on hour or so In small groups regardless of background or denominational affiliation to read and discuss the Bible and let us take it from there on You might be surprised I believe you will be in what Jesus Christ is andean do for you and for our community Jems Christ serious get with Him Did you ever take Him J VandenPot P I am out of town till August and from August So any reaction I by phone would not reach me during those periods MONDAY IS CIVIC HOLIDAY to Whiting in Parliament Continued from Page registered a protest of the proposal to Increase the tax on earnings ranging from to year The estate tax was of special concern and I stated in this House that in the event a capital gains tax was imposed the estate tax should be sub reduced or abolished In the legislation before us each of these items has been dealt with During the white paper furore the Prime Minister Mr Trudeau and the Minister of Finance Mr Benson both stated on Innumerable occasions that the white paper was presented for public scrutiny consideration and suggestions and the concensus would be In In legislation I am proud my constituents believed the Prime Minister and the Minister of Finance and were willing to take the time and make the effort to contribute to the formation of Canadian tax laws that are both practical and ac The Minister of Finance has come close to cont radicting Edmund Burke dictum To tax and to please no more than to love and be wise is not given to man Following the presentation of the budget the leader of the made the critical comment that still larger concessions should have been made to the poor having in mind equity fairness and ability to pay I say this gov has done a great deal in Its proposed tax legislation to accommodate the less fortunate Canadians but we must also remember that equity and fairness are words equally to those Canadians who because of enterprise hard work taking of risk and education have advanced them selves and this country productive capabilities These are the people who generate thei new Jobs which are and will be needed to eliminate unem ploy men I believe that the government has gone as far as it could at the present lime keeping in mind that there will be opportunity to do more The government has shown leadership in alleviating the present economic problems but it is only one player in the game Can we look forward to labour doing its part Hove our workers benefited from wage ncreascs exceeding product I think not not as long as hear complaints from the Jonty of citizens that the cost of living increases faster than their earnings and not as long as these Increases So terribly affect the low wage earner and our senior citizens We certainly cannot say that more went into the pockets of business since it is a fact that return on investment generally has declined side Ably over the past ten years Can we now that government has shown that It will do Its part look to the other players In game to do theirs Last week was senior week in Ontario Mr Speaker and It was fortunate that the Prime Minister was able to meet and talk with a group of them during his visit to and Bronte in my riding There are several things in the budget which are of significant interest to our senior citizens Many now think that the sole improvement in their situation will be an deduction of ISO derived by raising the present exemption for people years and over from 500 to The actual Increases in exemption are not but amount to at least 650 in the case of a single taxpayer and SI in the case of a married couple In addition the age limit has been lowered to 65 from years A further and very important point is that the guaranteed In come supplement of up to ptr month to single persons and per month to a married couple will no longer be taxable The government also decided that effective July of this year no tax will be levied on taxable Income of or less and lhat taxes be generally reduced on taxable incomes up to 000 In addition the government has also done away with the per cent surtax effective July i of this year As an example a married taxpayer having no income from employment but income from pensions and guaranteed Income supplement of at present pays in taxes under the tax reform there will be no tax payable A single taxpayer having an income of at present pays in taxes but there will be no taxes payable in the future I think that these tax considerations show a regard on the part of the government for our senior citizens most of whom are on a fixed income and arc deserving of everything that can be done to make their years a pleasure and a reward for past accomplishments There are one or two points I would like to bring to the at tcntion of the Minister Finance The first concerns retirement savings plans maxim um contribution i new legislation is 000 or cent maximum or earned in come The mount previously was limited to or per cent of earned income Because of this per cent limit the effect is a with an earned income of under the proposed tax reform is still limited to a maximum contribution as he old system The only taxpayers I The mission of Christ was release the sinner nis misery It Is only as edge our sin that we are In line for salvation Immanuel Lutheran Church Windsor Road at Carole St Rev Harold your

your savings So every time your interest is calculated it on your accumulated savings plus the ac cumulated interest youve already earned So it really begins to pile up Another thing a Bonus Savings Account is meant strictly for saving so you cant write cheques You can get your money out whenever you need to but because you cant write cheques theres not the same tempta to nibble away at your savings So if youve got something special to save for a new home a car a trip or youd like to put away a nest egg a Royal Bank Bonus Savings Account makes a lot of sense Because it makes saving a lot

individuals ha ing earned me between and I wish to suggest that the percentage limit be dropped altogether or failing that be increased to and one third per cent of earned income In fact I question whether this formula should be applicable to income only rather than to in from all sources question with due understanding thai I may not be aware of all repercussions that could arise from this proposal but being aware of the fait that there arc Canadians thrifty and individualistic who wish provide in good measure for their retirement Although I understand that such measure may tend to reduce the propensity to consume it however tends to Increase capital for the expansion of Canada particularly In view of the per cent Canadian investment requirement of registered retire ment savings plans 1 would also like a clarification of the dividend tax credit deduction as shown in the summary of 1971 tax reform legislation of and one third per cent and the wording of of Schedule to the Notice of Ways and Means Motion which indicates that the amount deductible is to be four fifths of the amount added to the dividend in accordance with section During the white paper discussions repealed requests were made with respect to the operators of rporitcd businesses The first point wis raised in connection with the in equity arising where in operator employs his wife rather than another person Under the present law reform proposes no the operator must include any to his wife for work in his income since he may not deduct such remuneration as in expense for lax purposes I real re the argument against this pnetiee is lhat it may open a for lax splitting between us In rid and wife On the other hind just is in the cose of incorporated companies an operator of a business should be able upon proof pay remuneration to his wife to what he would have to pay to another person deduct the payment as an expense and his wife would then have to report this income In closing Mr Speaker I would like to remind members that when debate on the tax reform bill commences after the summer recess there have been another period of pirtictpatory democracy we arc assured by the Minister of Finance that the government Is open to consider further informed comment on this legislation Harvesting of market Harden crops a familiar sight In this part of FAMILIAR SCENE IN HALTON County where
