THE COLBORNE EXPRESS, THURSDAY, MAY 10th, 1945 Page five No. 187 -- Colborne LEGION NOTES V-E Day--the day we have prayed for has come and gone. For most of us it was a time of jubiliation only. To many it was the darkest hour of all. Now they realize that the one who has gone is truly gone for all time. Home come the heroes, but their's is not among them. We feel that it would be fitting at this time that we use this space in an endeavour to offer a small measure of sympathy and comfort to those who are sad. On the Vimy Memorial there are carved 59,000 names of those who made the supreme sacrifice 1914-18 conflict. We must add 35,000 more of Canada's finest to that or a similar memorial. Perhaps before V-J Day there will be cither names to be inscribed on a shrine somewhere in the Pacific. To-day we would suggest that each one of us pause in silent"remembrance of 94,000 young men, who in this hour of victory and jubilation, are sadly missed. "He sleeps not in his native land, But 'neath some foreign skies-- Far from those who loved him well, In a heroe's grave he lies." But each one, many by man, has won imperishable praise, each has gained a glorious grave--not that sepulchre of each wherein they lie, but the living tombs of everlasting remembrance wherein their glory is enshrined, remembrance that will live on the lips, that will blossom in the deeds of their countrymen the world over. For the whole earth is the sepulchre of Heroes; monuments may rise and tablets be set up for them in their own land, but on far-off shores there is an abiding memorial that no pen or chisel has traced; it is graven not on stone or brass, but on the living heart of humanity. Take those men, then, for your examples. Like them, remember that prosperity can be only for the free, that freedom is the sure possession of those alone ^who have courage to defend it.'" "From the oration of Pericles in praise of the fallen heroes of Athens. They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old; Age shall riot weary them, nor the years condemn; At the going down of the sun, and in the morning, We Will Remember Them. - SALVAGE PICK-UP--There will be another salvage pick-up about the middle of this month.

AND INCOME TAX THE following announcement will help to clarify the relationship between Family Allowances and Income Tax credits for dependent children. Family Allowances are payable from July 1st, 1945, and the registration of children is now taking place. The Family Allowances Act was designed to help equalize opportunities for all children, and when the Act was passed, Par'iament approved the principle that there should be no duplication of benefits by way of Family Allowances and Income Tax credits for the same child. An amendment to the Income War Tax Act will be made to deal with this duplication. In the meantime, however, the Govern- ment proposes, for the last six months of 1945 during which Family Allowances are payable, to remove duplication by adjusting the income tax credits received for children. It is natural that parents in the low income groups will be expected to receive maximum benefits from Family Allowances. Partial benefits will be received, however, by parents with incomes up to $3,000. The table below shows the effect of the adjustments which the Government has decided to make. For convenience and simplicity the benefits received by each income group are shown as a per cent of the Family Allowances received. The table shows: (a) Heads of families receiving incomes in 1945 of $1200 or less will benefit to the extent of the full amount of the Family Allowances received. As they are not required to pay income tax, there is no duplication to remove. (b) Heads of families receiving incomes in 1945 in excess of $1200, but not in excess of $3,000, will in effect retain the full value of their present income tax credits and in addition a percentage of the actual Family Allowances received. (c) Heads of families with incomes in excess of $3,000 will retain their full income tax credits for children if they do not receive Family Allowances. These taxpayers may, however, apply for Family Allowances to protect themselves against a possible decrease in income at a later date which might bring them into a lower income range where they would benefit from Family Allowances. In such cases if the income remains in excess of $3,000, the income tax credits for children would be reduced by the full amount of Family Allowances received. TABLE SHOWING EFFECT OF ADJUSTMENT FOR 1945 AMOUNT OF Percent by which taxpayers will benefit TAXABLE INCOME Not over $1200 Over $1200 but not over 1400 1400 1600 1800 2000 " " 2200 " " ^2400 " " 2600 " " 2800 " " 3000 --This table applies 1600 1800 2000 2200 2400 2600 2800 3000 -----ed persons and < s.

See scale below: SCALE OF MONTHLY ALLOWANCES FOR THE FIRST FOUR CHILDREN For each child Under 6 . . . . . $5.00 From 6 to 9 . (inclusive) . 6.00 From 10 to 12 (inclusive) . 7.00 From 13 to 15 (inclusive) . 8.00 Where there are more than four children under 16 in the family, the monthly allowance for each child after the fourth will be reduced in accordance with the provisions of the Family Allowances Act. As far as is possible, to take care of the adjustments necessary to avoid duplication of benefits, current income tax deductions at the source will be adjusted to take into account the new situation when Family Allowance payments commence. This will avoid placing an awkward burden on the taxpayers at the end of the year. FAMILY ALLOWANCES ARE NOT TAXABLE Special attention is drawn to the fact that the income ranges used in the table above refer to taxable income, and any amounts received as Family Allowances should not therefore be included in calculating income for this purpose because Family Allowances are not taxable. Family Allowances are also additional to dependents' allowances for servicemen's families and military pensions. For children registered after July 1st, 1945, Family Allowances will be paid as from the month following the month when registration is made. Family Allowances are not paid retroactively.
