ORON ORONO WEEKLY, TIMES Ft:Vabshtd i 19 by R. A. Forresfer RyGFerrester - Edriitor and Manager TIME RUNNING OUT If would appear from recent developmefltS that time is running short for action in this municipality in the field cf pla.nninig. These developments should act as a warning to the Township that this area is now on the move. ln the past year the Township of Clarke has recorded one of lits greatest annual population increases with an in crease of over two hundred residents which brîngs the total population over 4,000. For years the population of Clarke has remained rather static but of recent years the tempo of. increase has gained momentum andl will no doubt further incrjease in the future. Fuirther to this population increase is. the fact that *su-diisinsare being contemplated and at the recent planning board meeting two such developments were be- fore the board. One such development by Mr. W. P. Irwin exists south of Orono while another is apparently being con- sdered on 106 acres west of Orono. These two f actors should be warnfing enough that if C larke wishes f0 get in on the ground f loor to provide or- d1erly development they mfustý now progress with planning. The Clarke Planning Board have advanced their suesof planning and are certainly amare, of the im- edaeneed. To this end they have prepared their first stepi which will be presented to council in the near'future. The elock continues to tura andi Clarke must keep pace with development to ensureif economical position and te provide for the future. COINCIDENCE In a recent news release from the Select Commiftee of the Legislature on Aging an appeal was made to eider Ontario itizens to put on record their memories of earlier days. It may be coincidence but the Q)rono Public 'Library Board at its recent meeting was discussing such a venture f olicwing the receipf of a leffer £rom a former resident of Orono, Miss L. Renwick, who has offered lier writfen mem- o ries while a resident inu Orono. The Board has accepted these memories and intend to includethèm among the vol- umnes lu the Library. Further the Board has placed on order the most re- cent writings of Dr. C. B.* Sissons who has 110W .cempied his memories 'of earlier days. There is littie doubt that such articles of literature writfen by local citizens would prove popular te local readers. It is aise a challenge te our eider citizens who can today place the past of local areas onrecord. 0f course With every scheme 'or proposai there is a preblem and the problem in this case would be that of Publishing such memories in a manner where they would be cf sonie use. This takes money and money is somthing that everyone doesn't have an abundance of. Perhaps the Select Committee headed by our local, MP.?., Alex Carruthers, could enlarge on the seheme giv- ing direction or suggestions ln compiling such work. The thoughit and propqsal is fine but the problems are aise evîdent. HARD CHOICES It may be-,an overly optimistie opinion, but the Can- adian Tax Foundation feels thaf public attention has finally been focussed "on the long-standfing need for Canadians te se-t an order of priorities for their geais of human better- m.,ent and improved standards of liing." In view of the care- program, plus demands for încreased spending on cosf of the proposed government-operafed unversal health pensions and éducation, comments the Foundatidfl'5 Tax Journal, "even the most fervent advocafes of spending more of our resources in these areas. are impressed with the f act that somnelhard, unpleasant choices' will have te be made." The Foundation estimates that if the -health service were in opération this year, public,,spending would be up by * $915 million. The large part of this, of course, would be diverted from private spending for medical care, but there -til remains the question of how that $P15 million couid be Since the royal commission urged that the ýpublic be able to identify the taxes paid for the health benefits, if fol- lows that the $915 million should not be hidden by tacking if onto the. corporate income tax or the manufacfurer's sales fax. In any event, notes thé Foundation, the former would produce the ludicrous resuit of raising the business tax rate te about 75 per cent, and the latter would hike the féederal alstaxý to about 19 per cent. The only major revenue producer lef t at the federal leethe Foundation goes on, is "the personal income tax, or, an equivalent such as the proposed Canada Pension PlIan fax on individuals, which ignores the personal and dependents' exemption levels and reaches ,down te fax in- ernes ab ove $699. To raise $915 million through the ýegular personal income tax would require increasing everyene's inom ax by almost 50 per cent.1" Retail salés taxes, now collecfed by al .prvncsat rates verying from three te s ix per cent, are a visible f ormn cf ievy, but if Ottawa addàed a medicare sales tax the rates would have te be from 16 te 19 per cent. Finally, if direct premiums only were employed, the annual cosf would have 1te be $158 per family and $79 for a single person; exisfing hospifal care premiums would be additionai. One remaining S1possibilty, suggests the Tax Foundafion, would be te revise [O( WEEKLY TIMES, THURSDAY, SEPTaMBER lOth, 1964 1 ussell Report From Ottawa 1lcn.Pjc4ý,otwni serve Senior and Grand, on Bel C.
