6 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, February 26, 1975 Section Two Bowmanville Drama Workshop Now in Rehearsal Physical Fitness, Sports Recreation and Culture To Benefit-from Lottery Physical fitness, sports, rec- reational and cultural pro- grams in Ontario will share the proceeds of a provincial lottery which will be establish- ed this year. Robert Welch, who heads the new Ministry of Culture and Recreation, told the Legislature a lottéry corpora- tion will be established as a Crown agency to run the lottery.

The corporation will deter- mine the price of tickets, sales arrangements, size of the prizes and frequency of the draws." Mr. Welch said, "the estab- lishment of the new Ministry of Culture and Recreation reflects the high priority this government assigns to the promotion of physical fitness, sports, recreation and cultural activities of all kinds. The lottery revenues will bc used- to further stimulate these programs above and beyond the considerable expenditure that the government is al- ready making in this field. "On the basis of experience elsewhere we expect that sales could reach $100 million within the next couple of years. After the return of about 40 per cent of that in prizes and the payment of operational expenses and sales commissions of about 20 per cent, we expect between $40 million and $50 million to be available for physical fitness, sports, recreation and cultural ograms." "To achieve these financial objectives and to ensure that we retain as much as possible of the proceeds for public use, we intend, among other things, to keep the corporation small in order to hold down overhead costs, and we antici- pate a distribution and sales operation similar to that employed by the Olympic 1,ottery," the minister con- tinued. "We would not want our lottery to adversely affect the sales of Olympic Lottery tickets in Ontario. We have had extensive discussions about this with Olympic Lot- tery officials and we have been encouraged by them ta mbove ahead with our plans for the Ontario Lottery.' Mr. Welch said, the ques- tion of provincial lotteries has attracted widespread interest in Ontario since federal legis- lation was amended in 1970 to permit them. A provincial lottery was the subject of a thorough debate by Members of the Legislature in Decem- ber." "It was clear from the suppport of participants in that debate and from statistics compiled by the Ministry of Consumer and Commercial Relations that there is wide public support for lotteries in Ontario," the minister con- tinued. Residents of Ontario have already bought more than $40 million worth of tickets for the Olympic Lottery and there are estimates that another $40 million is spent annually on the Irish Sweepstakes and other large provincial and state-rui lotteries. Many social, cultural, re- ligious and charitable organ- izations in Ontario have also made lotteries a source of in the CAPTAIN'S LOUNGE A NEW ENTERTAINMENT POLICY!

It's Time to Claim 74 Ontario Tax Credits Once again, it's income tax filing time and for many Ontario residents it's time to claim their 1974 Ontario tax credits. "The Ontario tax credit system is a program designed to contribute greater fairness 1o provincial and municipal taxation," Arthur Meen, Min- ister of Revenue, commented this morning. "OTC, as we call it, relates tax credits to an individual's ability to pay taxes. This year we expect ta return about $375 million dollars to Ontario taxpayers by means of this systei of tax credits, That's about $75 million more than last year," the revenue minister noted. The Ontario tax credit system (OTC) consists of three credits: 1. Property Tax Credit - This credit may be claimed by most homeowners, tenants, roomers, and boarders. 2. Sales Tax Credit - Any Ontario tax filer over age 16 on December 31, 1974, may claim this credit if he or she is not funds for their important work. These will continue under the supervision of the Ministry of Consumer and Commercial Relations and Mr. Welch said the govern- ment is satisfied that the provincial lottery will not interfere with their efforts. Research based on exper- ience in other jurisdictions has shown that local lotteries are identifiedwith local activities and have their own special attraction and participation. "A province-wide lottery, therefore, will not compete directly with them. In fact," he continued, "I think the Ontario Lottery could provide a new source of# funds for many non-profit groups who may wish to become sales agents and sell tickets directly to the public on a commission basis. "Additional revenue from this provincial lottery will be used to enhance even further the new impetus this govern- ment intends to give to a whole range of activities which will benefit all the residents of Ontario," he added. claimed as a dependent on the income tax return of any other Ontario resident. 3. Pensioner Tax Credit - Most residents 65 years of age and older can claim this credit which amounts to $110 for a married couple and the same for a single person. In order to claim Ontario tax credits. an Ontario resi- dent must file the federal income tax return, even if the individual has no taxable income. The Ontario tax credit form is attached to a federal income tax return and both forms must be completed and mailed togeter, in the pre-addressed efivelope pro- vided, to the, Federal Govern- ment's taxation date centre in Ottawa. The Ontario tax credit form is simple to complete and the calculations required are not difficult. When a person has determined those credits for which he qualifies, he adds them up and deducts 2 per cent of his taxable income YELVERTON Speedy convalesence to two Yelvertonions who endured surgery this week; to Dale Stinson for corrective surgery for a pinched nerve in his hand at Peterborough Civic.
