Think ahead when planning garden Are you thinking of planting a vegetable garden this summer? If you are, with hopes of home freezîng or canning the crops, be sure to plan your garden with two things in mind. First, make sure th)e produce will freeze well or that you have the equîpment to can it safely. Second, be certain thnt you will be able to use the grown quantity within a year of preservîng. According to food special- ists at the Ontario Food Council,. Ministry of Agricul- ture and Food, it seemed that everyone with a garden grew zucchini last sumimer. And it grew beautifully - in vast quantities. Then the problemns arose. Many people wanted to know how to preserve it as theré was no way they could eat such quantites withîn the recommended storage timne of one week. "-We advised them to freeze the zucchinî slces after blanching for three minutes," say the food spec- ialists. "But we warned thnt it. wouldn't be liké fresh zuc- chini." This is because fresh zucchini bas a high moisture content- as do cucumbers and lettuce- and loses its crisp- ness in the freezing nrocess. Homne canning of ail veget- Jasper B anffT * Yellowstone 23 Days Departures in June, July, August & September With many of themn visiting the Calgary Stampede Population jumped 13 percent in 5years White statistics usually make dull reading, tbey do have their uses. An example are the preliminary populat- ion count figures from the 1977 census wbich was pub- lished recently in Ottawa. They explain in a nut-sheil just how fast Durham Region is developing. In the five years between the 1971 and 1976 censuses, the region's population jump- ed just about 113 per cent, from 217,430 persons to 245,131. That is more than double the growtb of population for the whole of Ontario during the same five year period. Another volume of statis- tics from Ottawa, compiled from 1974 income tax returns, shows one good reason why so many people want to lîve here. 0f the 100 major Canadian municipalities, when they were ranked in the order of their average incom- es, Whitby stood nînth, at $10,894, and Oshawa was 22nd with an average of $10,435. Those are well above the average for any other munici- pality within a considerable radius of here. However, we must be prudent with our good for- tune. Growth and develop- ment cannot be ends in tbemselves. Durham Region bas'been blessed with many natural advantages, geo- graphie and cultural as well as economie. We must, ahl of us, do our utmost to ensure that in the coming years it remains the sort of community in whîch people want to lîve, and where they can continue to find satîsfying and rewarding occupations. Allan Lawrence, Northumberland-Durham M.P. MAIare cases up 17 percent in JanuarY The number of general welfare receipients in Dur- ham region increased 17 per cent in January over the previous month, according to figures released by the reg- ion's welfare office. Despite the increase, the 4,939 people on the roles during the first month of 1977 represented a three per cent decrease from January, 1976. Welfare officiais were con- ables requires processing in a pressure canner. The bot water bath is not safe for canning any vegetables including zucehini; and veg- etables with a high moisture content often become mushy When canned. Consequently, it was not wise to plant great numbers of Zucchini for home preservation. The other thing to remem- ber is to plant according to your needs, and to how much you can use. Guesstimate according to pattern. Let's assume your family of four east peas once a week, plant only enough to give you 52 pounds of peas when frozen, Plus of course some for eating You gamble being a tax evader There is a gamble involved in being an income tax evader and now Revenue Canada, Taxation is stacking the odds. t used to be that taxpayers could cross their fingers and hope their names were not selected bythe Department's auditors. But now the audit- ors have found another, more effective way of weeding out those taxpayers who cheat on their tax returns. In addition to using the traditional screening method in which individual high-risk taxpayers are selected for their potential tax recovery, the Revenue department bas begun to identify what it calls high-risk gro ups, those groups of taxpayers who have been found likely to report less income than they should. t could be any type of group, an industry, a profes- sion, even a particular neigh- borhood. If the tax depart- ment notices a significant lack of compliance with tax laws among members of the group, ail memnbers could come under an audit, on a national scale if necessary. Already tbis new approach has proved successful within the scrap metal industry and is being used on the garment trade. Thousands of dollars in cerned early in the month that the number of welfare rolls would exceed the ail- timne high in January, 1976, when 5,097 people collected general welfare. The greatest increase in the December-to-January figures was shown in the 'employ- ables' category where 2,029 collected benefits - a 27 per cent increase from 1,597 in December. In the "unemployable" div- ision, the number jumped to 2,910 in January fromn 2,613 from December, a li per cent increase. taxes nave been recovered from scrap mnetal dealers across Canada and news- paper acc its of fraud withrn the garmnent tracte are a daily occurrence. The audit approach will not be in the same in every case. With a large operation such as the scrap mnetal industry, the diean-up inivolved both the Department's audit and spe- cial investigations divisions with charges being laid for failure to provide records, and audits being carried out on ail levels of the industry simultanously. Not onlywill large indust- ries and corporations be the subject of this technique. With a group such as waiters and waitresses, the 'auditors can work directly' with the Department's Taxýroll Divis- ion using their 'computer matching systemn to compare the records from hotels and restaurants with thie returns filèd by the individual tax- payers. The Department also has access to information from other governiment depart- ments. For instance, it bas traditionally used inform- ation supplied by certain marketing boards to verify information supplied by far- mers, If tax evasion appeared prevalent, widespread audit action on farmers could be undertaken. ~~.Pioneer A i .ven eaMsiwh j autmmtic Odilg gNow automatic oiling and manual override makes the Pioneer 1200 even more popular Iwith w'oodcutters evetrywhere.
