after hie rain jilfr m mim o i photo by biter tjtoi wanted bou imaginative leadership wa think the parks board has made a wise decision m recommending to council a separate committee be established to operate a community recreation program while a recreation committee and the parks board will have areas of mutual interest it is only to be expected that both activities will bene fit through concentrating and specializing in their own fields of interest and responsibility our interpretation of the proposed divi sion of responsibility will see the parks board continue the administration maintenance planning and development of the parks the board would also be responsible for the maintenance planning and development of the community centre and- arena as we envision the recreation committee its obeclve would be to plan and assist tn the development of a year round community- wide program for all citizens one of its areas of influence will of course be the community centre arena where it will schedule and operate the faoh ties for the optimum benefit of all in the park during the summer we hope they can organ tze a summer program using vacationing students as supervisors and instructors of course here are many other ways m which the committee can be influential from assistance m organizing activity groups on any subject from bridge fo chess to night school through square dancing and stamp collecting not crying wolf it is a rule of thumb that if taxation takes more than a third of national income the country is headed for fmaneal trouble many businessmen and economists have been try ing to impress that pont on the pubjjc con sciousness for most of the past decade as it has turned out they were not crying wolf other factors contribute to the present fiscal crisis of course but it s significant that for the past two years taxation has been above the onethird mark of national income figures issued by the bureau of statistics place national income for 1961 at s7 9i3 000000 taxes collected by the three levels of government totalled s9 897 000 000 or 35 5 per cent of national ncome in the pre vious year the tax take ssas 3d 3 per cent of national income m 1959 i was 32 9 per cent tn 1949 rt was 28 5 per cent not do these figures tell the whole story there are defc ts at all three levels of government and toal spending is far higher than total tax revenues since all this information is published in the national accounts it ma seem sorpr ing that the average person has remained to accomplish this great plan we see two mqr requirements the first is a group of citizens anxious to serve on a recieation committee what we need is a bold group with ideas with imag mation conviction and perseverance we need citizens who are prepared to devote some time to the task who can accept set backs and can bounce back with another suggestion or plan when something doesn t go according to plan we need citizens who are happy and willing to accept constructive criticism but who are also prepared to hear the less desirable criticism we need citizens to serve with only one obective to do the best job possible not because ihey represent a group or organiza tion or are looking for personal popularity their only reward is going to be the satisfaction they have from knowing they have tried their best the second requirement for the recrea tion program is an experienced capable full time director without someone to develop organize and carry out the program envision ed by the committee the program can not be successful now that the decision has been made to implement the recreation committee we hope no time will be lost in making the ap pomiments to the committee so the winter program can be organized now unaware that taxation takes such a large part of the country s income probably the an swer is thai although the public pays the en tire bill for government spending most of us think of taxation only m terms of direct levies such as the personal income tax deducted from the pay envelope the property lax paid on a house or a farm the retail sales tax that is tallied m at the stores cash register these direct taxes on individuals are sub stantial enough through them last year municipal and provincial governments collected 372 000 000 and the federal gov ernmeni another 2 132 000 000 but even that folal of 5 billion was only one auarter of the total of all taxes we paid to all qovernments th taps we know we pay are only a pat of all the taes we pay and all the taxes we pay i only a pari of what governments spend as individuals we realize that we can neither spend nor borrow our way to prosperity the need now s to make pohti c ans understand that we undestand that the country cannot do it either the acton free
