Total $4,224,000. Ne Illusion Ilie personal income tax pre- seuts no illusion. More than 4,000,000 Canadians know they psy it. But thay may nlot real- ize how much they contribute ta other taxes. The sales tax applies te thinga you buy, with certain imnport- ant exemptions including food.s and min-; items used ini build- ing, the primary industries, manuiacturing and education. The tir fi initially paid by the manufacturer and ta gen- erally added ta the manufac- tuner's price ta the wholesaler. It is passed on ta you in the ne- tai] pnice. The excise tax is, in effect, an addition ta the sales tax aud is charged on a numben a! se- lected items. You psy it when you buy these items. In wartime it fa a nough in- strument with bigh rates and wide applications. Today it is applied ta a shortlug lust o! items and at neduced rates. At praseut it is best known through the 7½ par cent chrged on the manufacturer's price for auto - mobiles. Irks Producers Most producens to wbom It apiDlies feel the excise ta% dis- crýrniates against thamn. Duriug the Second Warld War its rate on automobiles got up ta 25 par cent ou the firit $900, 40 pen cent on the next $300 sud 80 per cent on the excess aven $1,200. After the war it 'vas raduced ta 10 per cent, ivent up again ta 25 per cent dunîng the Karean War, sud since has been gnadually reducad. The excisa duty-also an addition ta the sales tax-is charged ou alcoholie baveragas and tabacco produets. The carporata incarn a tx is pid by aU incorporated com- panias on their profits. Parhaps thare is more illusion about this tax than any other. The word "corponate" sug- gests big lush companies with lots of money. But. big or âmaîl, they have no magic pool out o! which ta draw maney. They must get their money from the price they charge for their pro- ducts or services. Varying Et! oct: TXhe sales, excise or corpora- tion -Laxes are flot necessanily p"msed on to You cent-for-oeut. That will depand upon cir- cumstances of thte time - es. peclally compatitive circumstan- cas. Somnetimes a eampauy may absorb part of the tax, iL leasat temporarily. A company trias ta make enough rnoney sa that, after paying incarne tax. it carips shareholders a return on their rnoney; help psy for ariy ex- pansion and create a financial, position that will attract other investors. The buying public undoubt- edly pays for the corporation incarne tax in the price paid for the campar.y's goods. But how much more they psy than if there were no tax is difficuit ta say. Iu ana phase, at least, the corporate incarne provides a revenue not paid by the Cau- adian taxpayen. This is the par- tion a! its tax paid an profits fram sales ta custorners in othai countnies. But simnilarly, Cana- dians psy part o! the taxes af other countries when they buy imported gooda. Customs Toit Customs duties ara charged at varying rates ou goods im- ported inta Canada. You pai, for tham when you buy the goods an which they are le- vied or in the pnice o! Cana- dian-produced goads into whicli they enter. About one-third af custorns duties are collectad on products o! the iran and steel gnaup. In addition ta its tax revenue, the guvernent expects it will have notn-tax revenue this year o! *28,000,000-with about 75 Per cent of the amount com- ing froir. incarne on invest- ments and !rom the post office. Every tirne you buy a post- age stsmp yau can cansider whether y ou are paying thýý post office revenue. The Canadian Tax Founda- tion camments that in the braadest sense any tax struc- ture can be classi!ied under three main headings: Incarne, spending and propanty. Iu 1957, it says, federaI taxes were about 59 per cent ou incarne and 39 per cent on spending. Iu the federal picture. succes- sion dutias are alrnost the ouly element o! property tax. In th!ý long run, says the foundation, the ultimate rest- ing place o! £11 taxation is in- carna Soýma argua tbat the personal incarne tax-graded as ta in- corne-is the fairest of taxes, despita its political unpopuian- ity. Others contend that the personal incarne tax should be abolished and the sales tax carry the bunden. Still othens say the sales tax shouid be abalished because a! its direct affect on prices.

The United Church is a thoroughly democratîc body.

This "Iow a r d e r o! comrnicability" pnobably accounts for the fact that ia many adults escape the di- seassa during childhood only ta deveiop it in later yeans, Dr. Edward B. Shaw ssid in the curnant Journal o! the Ameri- can Madical Association recei- ved by the Haalth Leagua af Canada. The best tirne for a persan to have nmumps fa during chlld. hood, when the possible com- lications are not very severè.. ynadulth ood, mumps can be followed by seriaus - and sometuneu lesting - complica- tions. In order to prevent the po- sibiity of severe adult infec- tions. it might be desirable ta dehbprately expose a child to, the disease. thus ensurin% lifelong imnnunity, Dr. Shaw said. Hovvever, this introduces the patential risk of secondarily expohing adults who may have the illness with greater sever- ity and sometimes permanent damage. There is no really reliable and predictable means of arti- ficially inducing immunity. The best means of acquiring lifelong immunity is ta have mumps before puberty, Dr. Shaw saud, whe is clinical Pro- fessar ol Pediatries at the Un- iversity et California Medical, Centre and Chie! of the Com- municable Disease dpartment at the Children's Hospital, Sapi Francisco.

Sa declared WilliamEden, official o! the Marathon Cor- paratioi in the course of a four- day forest fire fighting "school" sponsored here by the Ontario Departrnent af Lands snd Forests and forest industries. The funnal is used in re-fuel- ling power saws in woods operations - but is also used, of course, on thousands oi out- board matons and power lawn- mowars. Mr. Eden declareci bis comnpany was now insisting that wood-cutters use gasolirio cans aquipped with mnetal tubes tbrough wbich the operator can see how much fuel he is pauring into, the tank. Since the invasion of the chain saw, be said, operators who were working on piece-work were re- luctant ta allow their machines ta cool down before re-fuelliug. "Wa try ta maka the mnen leave the saws and carry au, limbing the trees they have falled. How- ever, the men are anxious ta cut as much wood as possible in the shortest passible timne. "What happans is this: Joe Doakes' motor runs out o! gas. Ha places the funnel on top of the gasoline tank and stants ta pour in the fuel. Halfway thraugh*the operatian, ha may raise the funuel, peer into the gas tank and think it can stand anothar heavy 'shot'. Then lie sudden1.y finds the. gasoline tank is ovcrflowing and the funnel is full o! fuel. So ha tasses the fuel into the bush, cr7ankls a still hot motor, there's a spark and we have anather lire. Multiply this single case by perhaps 200 or 300 meni using chain saws, and it's easy to de. Iiow dangeroigs the practice fi." Similar danger Io outboard mator operators also exista, ho said, "particularly now when we have an ever-increahing use o! outboard motors throughout the country. Even though the boat is afloat, there's always danger of the discarded gasoliin. catch ing fire when it floats on the surface. Even the man whe uses the power mower ta cut hie lawn is taking a chance in us- ing the funnel, inexprensive au it may be.
