The bad news is out. Predictions of whopping tax i:â€" creases were made by the Weston Times as well as Toronto‘s three dailâ€" ies. It has turned out that these preâ€" dictions were quite accurate. . _ Anâ€" amusing little ditty came over the Canadian Press last week to the effect that there is pressure to expell MP Ralph ‘Cowan from the Liberal caucus sometime in June. Those pushing for the disciplinâ€" ary measure decided the move shouldn‘t be made this month because the Pearson government faces several votes of confidence as well as five If the pri;:e of home ownership and living in apartment units is not to grow beyond the reach of the majority of the people, reforms will have to be made in our system of financing municipal and education costs. Taxes increased $100 for the average homeowner in Weston this year. A bite of this size is more than most can afford. The mill rate didn‘t jump by quite that much in York or North York, but it did rise by enough to cause concern amony many pensionâ€" ers and people living on marginal inâ€" comes. . We have had a royal commission investigate the federal government‘s obsolescent tax gathering machine and the findings of a provincial comâ€" mission on taxation will be unveiled sometime this month.

Many responsible politicians inâ€" sist that the only way to prevent risâ€" ing taxes is to take the cost of educaâ€" tion off real estate and place it onto provincial income and sales taxes. Since education costs the averâ€" age wage earner $400 a year, a shift in taxes from his real estate to wages in most cases will not reduce the tax load. and,. in fact could increase it. If property taxes are cut in half by the elimination of education costs, Metro, which has shelved all sorts of plans from subways to sewers, and public housing projects to urban reâ€" newal schemes, will be able to get them started again. Then watch munâ€" icipal taxes rise. It is clear then that there is something dreadfully wrong with the municipal tax structure. A study comâ€" mission should be established to determine what it is. _ federal byâ€"elections May 29. The philosophy of the Liberal party seems to be to keep your man when you need his vote, but ditch him afterwards. With this kind of atâ€" titude prevailing in the Liberal party, you have to admire the MP from York Humber for daring to speak up to the Prime Minister and Separatist MP Gilles Gregoire. :‘.«’}_v:f*,.«“f' mecer ' 7F '>¢_~‘,_~x:~\?€_ % nmamnmmen"" on td * â€" ddftins. ; o m ntannit i" dsnA df A) T f.§ (offtfihsg JPA C 7Ef, Sss 1t sY iOR x“u F4A ~ik T 1 omm hn o PPA ATEHE(Prie CC % ROYAL BANK By MARION GUNDY Dr. Charles Roberts o the Clarke Instituteâ€"told the Canaâ€" dian Mental Health Association press conference that 10 p.c. of When Our Youngsters Grow Up We Will All Be in Good Hands The "year of the big bash‘"~ may end up with everybody sufâ€"| fering a big headache in the pocketbook.

It all began in 1670, when King Charles II, granted the charter to "The Governor and Company of Adâ€" venturers of England Trading into Hudson‘s Bay." This fiveâ€"page charter gave power to the comâ€" pany to rule within its territory, according to English Law, The company was founded at the suggestion of the two French fur traders, Radisson and Groâ€" seilliers, who believed that Hudâ€" son Bay was a better route of approach to the fur areas of cenâ€" tral North America, than was the St. Lawrence River. The first posts were founded in James Bay and at the mouth of Hayes River on the west shore of Hudson Bay. The French traders, however, opposed the English company strongly from 1682, and they actâ€" ually held most of the posts in the bay from 1686 to 1714. The company managed to surâ€" vive its losses and all its posts were restored by the Treaty of Utrecht in 1713. The great Prince of Wales fort at Churchill began in 1731 as defense against future French attack. But in 1732, the French under la Verendrve enâ€" tered the Red River basin and had reached the Saskatchewan River. In 1779, English traders appearâ€" ed in the northwest and formed the Nort West Company of Monâ€" treal.

If I find that I‘ve slipped unthinkingly into unâ€" safe driving habits perhaps now is the time to make a midâ€"year resolution to turn over a new leaf. This will likely be the most exciting summer ever for most Canaâ€" dians. Visitors from other countries and other provinces will be joining in aur Centennial celebrations and our highways will be busier than ever leading travellers from one community to another. For most visitors routes will be unfamiliar ones. Roads which we use every day or week and to us hold no "mysteries" may sometimes be confusing or difficult to a stranger struggling to reâ€" member directions or becoming tired after a long day‘s drive. Simple driving courtesy and a strict "tocing of the line" on safe driving habits could make the trip casier and safer for our visitors . . . and ourselves. A real way that every driver could put warmth in his welcome to our visitors is to drive safely and courtâ€" eously on our highways this summer. Who knows, if we all practice this for six months, it could become so autoâ€" ul o mivhtad en is in on o rerine n matic that the annual slaughter on our highways might lessen instead of climb each year. Néedless cutting in and out by drivers familiar with a road can confuse another driver searching for road signs; tailgating can lead to an accident if a visitor is unsure of the way. And, really, did belligerent hornâ€"honking ever move traffic any quicker? It might be a wonderful way of welcoming visitors if we made an effort to keep track of the various hapâ€" nings in our area during the summer and fall months. fiat way we‘ll be able to give helpful directions to visiâ€" tors . .. a small courtesy appreciated bg' any traveller. We are hosts to the world this year. Canadians are usually regarded as quietly friendly, usually helpful and polite. This year we have a unique opportunity of proving to the world just what we are. Often it‘s the very small things that a traveller remembers with pleasure or distaste. Small things that will color his desire to return to a happy holiday spot or to vow never to return again. A pleasant smile, a helping hand and the small courtesies that we extend to our friends will provide a store of happy memories for visitors from other Tands or other parts of outr own, country. And, if you are planning a trip yourself this summer, now is the time to complete arrangements, Your telephone can help you complete this chore quickly and easily. It can "go shopping" for the extra few things we always seem to need before a trip; "run errands" to the newsâ€" paper, bakery or creamery to stop deliveries while you‘re away; or call ahead for reservations en route. The familiar telephone makes planning an easy part of a trip. Hudson‘s Bay Co. Mr. B. E.
