News by Sect. Doris Rowan Yelverton U.C.W. met at the church with fourteen members present. We sang the Ode with Linda Pfok at the piano. Agnis Howe read a poem "Spring-Cleaning". Follewing the Roll call and minutes, Hazel Gray gave a most appropriate devotional on "Grandmother", the majority of the members are in this category. The Script- ure was taken from 2 Timothy on Grandmother Lois. In her prayer emphasis was placed on Faith and how it is handed down from gen- eration to generation. Agnes read a poem "How old are you?" Audree Brown pro- vided the Treasurers report. A Jiffy range had been in- stalled to replace an old one. A donation of $1000 was made to the Church Treasury.

Local husbands joined the ladies for a lovely dinner and later heard Mr. Sharpe of Caesarea speak on 'Bees' and showed some slides which were very interesting. Did you ever wonder what makes a bee hum? Agnes presented Mr. Sharpe with a small gift on behalf of the group. Agnes and Linda had transformed the church basement into a Spring wonderland for the occasion. Ontario Tax Grants For Senior Citizens 1982 Instalments of up to $310 Have Been Mailed Ontario Tax Grants for Seniors is a program designed specifically to help offset municipal and school taxes for Ontario residents 65 and over. The Ontario Ministry of Revenue has just completed the mailing of cheques which comprise the first instalment of the 1982 Property Tax Grant of up to $250 and a new temporary Home Heating Grant of $60. These cheques were mailed on May 10th. Who received it? B If you're 65 or over and own or rent your home, you're eligible for the Property Tax Grant. B The 1982 instalment cheque was mailed to all Ontario seniors who received the 1981 Property Tax Grant. B® This is intended to help you pay your property tax or rent for the first part of 1982. In the fall you will automatically receive an application for the balance of your grant. Who did not receive it? Basically, if you didn't receive a 1981 Property Tax Grant, you will not have received the May instalment. In particular, seniors should note that: 8 If you reside in a nursing home, home for the aged or any property tax-exempt institution, you're not eligible for the Property Tax Grant. B® If you turned 65 after December 31, 1981 (and therefore did not quality for a grant last year) you also won't have received the May instalment. However, you will receive an application for the entire 1982 grant in the fall. Temporary Home Heating Grant This year a temporary Home Heating Grant of $60 has been added to the Tax Grants Program to help seniors cope with the sudden increases in heating costs. This $60 is included in your 1982 instalment cheque. For example, if you received a Property Tax Grant of $480 for 1981, your 1982 instalment amounts to $300 (1% of S480 = $240 plus S60) For more information call the Ministry's multilingual Information Centre | In all other areas -- Mm In Metro Toronto -- dial 965-8470 @ In Area Code 807 -- ask the Operator for Zenith 8-2000 or write to: Ministry of Revenue, Guaranteed Income and Tax Credit Branch, Queen's Park, Toronto, Ontario.
