In short just being young Greater expenditures needed for bilingualism By PAUI GESSEIJ The Canadian Press Although most provinces are striving to improve secondlan xguage instruction in schools education officials lament that even greater expenditures are needed to increase significantly the number of bilingual gradu ates Until more funds are pumped into programs such as immer sion courses which are most ef fective when begun at kinder garten Canada will remain largely nation of unilingual citizens education officials re ported in CrossCanada Sur vey by The Canadian Press While the total national cost of secondlanguage training in any one year is difficult to cal culate the federal government has announced it plans to seat ter $1348 million across the country this year for French courses alone That figure does not include millions of dollars to be matched by provincial education departments nor civil service and defence depar tment language pro rams But such expen itures still affect minority of Canadian students and create an even smaller number of bilingual pu pils the survey revealed Ontario Education Minister Thomas Wells echoed senti ments across the country when the government share Even if you dont use the car for anything but business pur poses you would still be re quired to report taxable bene fit if the car were available for your personal use On the other hand any money that you may pay your em ployer for the use of the com pany car or to have it on stand by can reduce the amount of wants its SO THIS IS LIFE This has all happened

crowded with learn ing study apprehension wonderment and temptation For its whole new ball game Shell see the other side of life where there are boys and girls hardly over being moppets themselves it seems Some will be strutting about as if theyd lived life for 100 years covering up the insecurity they feel She might be told she is pret ty straight coming as she does from rural area hasnt really lived Shell meet others in the same boat as she is lonely feeling forgotten missing home But these feelings will diminish astimegocson Besides theres whole new life ahead better life Probably ertainly better understanlt ding of life for nowhere in all the world is there better place to learn about the modernities of life than at university Before she knows it it will be summer and its back to the old stomping grounds to exchange tales with her comtemporaries and shell be all grown up with new outlook in life Seems to us this has all hap pened before he said his province has no in tention of ever initiating plan to make every child bili ngual QUEBECTRENDSCIIANGE Schools which produce the largest number of bilingual graduates continue to be those serving small linguistic group in particular areawEnglish Quebecers in Quebec City or FrancoOntaria ns in Ottawa In bicultural Montreal less than 50 per cent of high school graduates are considered fluen tly bilingual despite their con tact with both languages in school and on the street Although more English Quebecers are becoming bili ngual than 10 years ago fewer FrenchQuebecers are becomin bilingual said school board of icials in Montreal and Quebec City More EnglishQuebecers were learning French because of improved instruction and the necessity to speak French to ob tain jobs or practise most of the professions in the provmce FrenchQuebecers were ex periencing wanin interest in learning English ecause of provincial legislation enhan cing job opportunities of unilingual Frenchspeaking residents The situation is reversed from few years ago said Rita the benefit on which you would betaxed In its most simple form the taxable benefit represented by the personal use of company car is the proportion of its oper ating cost that is attributable to personal use Lets say that licences insur ance ordinary repairs gaso line oil and grease and servic ing charges amount to $1200 The car is driven 36000 miles in year including 12000 for your personal use The taxable benefit that you would have to report is onethird of the operating expenses or $400 in this illustration DEFININGTERMS According to national reve nue an automobile is ve hicle that among other things provides seats for not more than 10 passengers pickup truck used primar ily for transportation of the driver or assengers would be considere an automobile You have personal use when the employer gives you control of the car and doesnt impose strictly enforced rules against driving it for personal purposes If the employer does have such prohibition but you use the car for personal purposes anyway you are required to re port the illicit benefit as per sonal income If you drive the company car back and forth between home and your place of work thats personal use and therefore tax able But if your company requires or allows you to drive between home and point of call other than settled work place log salesman visiting customerst thats not regarded as personal use STANDBY CHARGES The rules in the Income Tax Act about taxable benefits be come more complex when you reach paragraph sub section 21 dealing with standby charges when the company makes its car availble for your personal use In general the monthly standby charge is one per cent of the capital cost of the car or onethird of the monthly rental if itsa leased car Should that turn out to be higher than the taxable benefit as calculated by the other cri teria then you are stuck with paying tax on the higher fig urethe standby charge If your job is selling cars however you get break The monthly standby charge is 075 per cent of the cars capital cost which is deemed to be the average cost of all new cars ac quired by your company for sale in the course of the year Some employees may have variety of cars available for their use during the course of year out of large fleet owned by the employer In such case the capital costs of the different cars are averaged by grouping them in broad price ranges Some tax advisors would rec ommend that you report as taxable income only the stand by charge as calculated on the basis of capital cost or rental rate They suggested that if na tional revenue feels that your personal use of the car con veyed more valuable benefit than that let the department prove it and bill you for the dif ference Second of series of two ar THE PICK OF PUNCH Mr Cadwallader its your mommy on Line Two Shea coordinator of high school French for the Montreal Catholic School Commission French is the important lan guage now and Frenchspeak ing students dont find it im portant to learn English This mobility of French Quebecers will suffer she said CRUCIAL IN OTTAWA The attitude of French Quebecers contrasts with growing awareness by English Canadians from British Colum bia to Newfoundland of the need for children to become bilingual the survey revealed Achieving bilingualism is es pecially crucial to Ottawa resi dents because the biggest local employerthe federal civil ser viceprefers bilingual appli cants Ottawa school boards have introduced extensive new lan guage programs Many French immersion courses begin in kin dergarten Reaction by parents generally has been favorable although many are bitter because they feel bilingualism requirements jeopardize their own careers board official said Teachers

OHEARN Queens Park Bureau Thomson News Service TORONTO Stuart Smith has been complaining that one of his great roblems to date as Liberal lea er and he recog nizes as well as most that he has had problems has been in handling the writing press He says he has had little or no trouble with radio or TV but the newspaper people have been another question With radio and TV he ex plains it usually is matter of few straightforward ques tions And except possibly for some editorial introduction the most that is likely to happen is that what you have had to say will be edited down But with the written press you never know what may come out PRESSDIFFERENT There has to be certain sympathy for the Liberal leader What he says about the writ ten press is quite true in that by its nature it can tend to put politician on the spot much more than the electronic media The radio or TV reporter most often has limited time and limited scope In view of this he will ask man few brief questions on his position on something or other and normally the mans replies are all that get on the air Most notably it will not of ten happen that it will be poin ted out that short while before the mans position may have been quite different But the newspaper reporter is not tied down by length at least in his interview And he will not only pursue his subject at more length and if there has been change in the mans position most pro bably will mention this Both the reporter and his edi tors will feel that consistency and if it isnt there why not are quite properly part of the pic ture which should be conveyed to the public on any public fig ure HIS JOB To the extent that he has suf fered from this Dr Smith does get some sympathy But not too muchfor two reasons One of these is that handling of the press though one of the most difficult skills called for from public leader is also es sential And any man who aspires to successful political leadership should be able to do it Then secondly Dr Smith ha been most inconsistent An this is something to be repor ted though perhaps with more understanding than it has been at times Inland fishery success failure STEVE KERSTETTER WINNIPEG CP If hes out on the lakes working only for groceries then he might as well come home and thats whatshappening Kip Thompson the blunt and outspoken mayor of Ilford Man was describing the meagre returns realized by hundreds of commercial fisher men in remote areas of the nor th and why welfare remains realistic alternative to work The situation on lakes in the south is far more romising said John Ateah Victoria Beach Man long me spokesman for Manitoba fish ermen would say 90 per cent of them are quite happy he said None of them is giving up his fishing licence These two assessments are an indication of the success and the shortcomings of the Fresh water Fish Marketing Corp federal Crown agency set up in 1969 to bring stability to one of Canadas most troubled pri mary industries The prices received by fish ermen have risen substantially since the corporation came into being although the costprice squeeze remains problem for most OPERATES EFFICIENTLY The corporation itself ap pears to be operating ef ficiently after period of major internal problems yet its ability to command higher prices in export markets still is limited by competition from the Great Lakes and the giant ocean fishery The orderly marketing scheme embodied in the corpd ration has won widespread ac ceptance but the governments of Manitoba and Saskatchewan remain bitter about what they describe as Ottawas refusal to meet its responsibilities to in land fishermen The welfare of fishermen was the prime concern of the fed eral government in 1965 when it commissioned George Mclvor former chief com missioner of the Canadian Wheat Board to look into the inland fishery He found the fishermen many of them Indian and Metis were living far below the poverty line as little more than indentured laborers for private fish companies which supplied them with equipment This commiusion is not aware of worse pocket of pov erty in Canada than the north ern segments of the inland fish ery Mr McIvor wrote in his report AT AMERICAN MERCY In turn the fish companies were at the mercy of United States importers who played one company off against an other to keep prices down The solution recommended by Mr McIvor and later put in to effect was an agency similar to the wheat board The inland fishery in the three Prairie provinces the Northwest Terri tories and northwestern On tario was brought into the public sector over the ob jections of some private fish companies and the Freshwater Fish Marketing Corp was given almost exclusive rights to buy process and market fish For the first time fishermen were guaranteed initial or floor prices for their catch and share of any profits after the close of fishing season as final payment William Parks president of the corporation said the basic structure has proved to be sound one from the ishermans point of view As far as Im concerned certainly feel were doing good job for the fishermen he said Im certainly firm believer in single sellingt agency It gives us clout in the marketplace that fragmented industry wouldnt have PRICE HAS RISEN During the 19605 the men re ceived an average of about 15 cents pound for Whitefish sold to private fish companies This price has risen steadily Since 1969 and averaged 26 cents pound during the 19741975 fish ing seasons About onethird of the catch is sold fresh and another one third frozen The rest is proc essed with most of the work done at the corporations main plant in the Transcona area of Winnipeg Over the years the corporation has been able to sell fish for roughly twice what it paid to fishermen Most of the difference is spent on operating costs and paying off the in vestment in processing facil ities NEEDED FOR MORE GRADUATES are not considered necessary in Ottawas Frenchlanguage schools because of the in escapable influences of On tarios predominantly English Canadian culture However the students are compelled to study English from Grade through high school In one immersion program offered by the Ottawa board of education Englishspeaking students receive all instruction in French in kindergarten tapering off to 50 per cent in Grade and continuing until Grade13 ENROLMENT RISES Whn the program started in 1973 19 per cent of kindergar ten pupils were enrolled The percentage had risen to 30 by 1975 Throughout Ontario enrol ment in elementaryschool French courses has been in creasing and now

Frenc in kin dergarten classes group spokesman said tip parents feel it is increasingly important for their chil ren to be bilingual In British Columbia French as second language is com pulsory only
