In addition, he is connected with the Cadet Corps' sailing centre and helps teach approximately approximately 300 cadets between between Oshawa and Scarborough. Scarborough. It's a task that sometimes requires four nights per week and weekends, but Russ doesn't mind spending his spare time this way. "It's all for a good cause," he adds. In fact, after approximately nine years with the Sea Cadets as a cadet and officer, Russ says "it's one of the best organizations you're going to find." "The Sea Cadet program teaches self-discipline, skills, and trades. It also gives young people a chance to have fun while they're learning a wide variety of useful information." information." He has especially enjoyed the summer camps where young people have a chance to meet other cadets from across Canada. Camps may take cadets to places such as British Columbia and Nova Scotia. One of the highlights of his association with the Sea Cadets has been the opportunity opportunity to meet Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, in a reception reception for winners of the award and co-ordinators of the program. Along with his parents, William and Valerie Preece, Russ attended the reception in the Royal York Hotel, in Toronto, July 4.

This year, eight cadets from Oshawa received awards and Russ expects to see more of them receiving the honor next year. Having reached the silver level, Russ Preece is not content content to rest on his laurels.

Miles Farm Business Advisor Toronto TAX MANAGEMENT Farmers may elect to report the income from farming on the cash basis for tax purposes; purposes; other business with the exception of fishing must report their income on the accrual basis. With the accrual accrual method, the taxpayer records income in the year earned, regardless of when payment is received and expenses are deducted in the year incurred, whether paid or not. The cash method requires the reporting of income in the year received and the deduction of expenses in the year paid. Filing tax on the cash basis makes sense to the farm taxpayer as the newborn calf is reported as income two years hence after considerable considerable feed and labor have made it a more valuable animal or the wheat or corn crop has occurred. Unfortunately, the cash method of preparation of income tax could leave the farm manager with less than a full understanding of what the farm actually did or did not produce for the year. It did not record the value of the extra cows and sows on hand or the increase or decrease in the accounts not paid or not received. It is permissible to convert an accrual statement to a cash statement for tax purposes. Management of the farm is very important in the 1980's. Why not manage the farm totally? Complete farm records on the accrual basis that includes inventory change and change in accounts accounts payable and receivable. receivable. File the tax from these records on the cash basis.

Summertime! Long hours of outdoor activity. For youngsters, youngsters, a whole new world to explore. Make it a safe world for them by eliminating as many hazards as possible, and recognizing potential danger situations. Poisoning is still one of the leading causes of child illness and death. Most parents are aware of the dangers lurking in cleaning supplies and medicines, how ever, your home and garden may contain some rather innocent looking poisons. There are, in Canada and the United States, at least 700 species of plants that have been known to cause death or illness. Knowing the most common household and outdoor outdoor offenders can help avoid acciaentai poisoning, parents should take the time to learn the names of their plants and to educate their children not to put any unknown plant into their mouths. Poisonous plants may harm an individual in four ways. They may cause stomach and intestinal irritation, poisoning of the system, mouth and throat lining irritation irritation and skin rashes. The seriousness of plant poisoning will usually depend upon the amount swallowed. For some plants, even a small amount can be dangerous. A check through your home is a good place to start. The houseplants known as Dieffen- backia, Dumbcane, Caladium, Elephant's Ear, and some Philodendrons contain in all parts, the ability to cause severe irritation of the mouth, tongue and lips, and stomach upset. Death can occur, if the tissues at the back of the mouth swell sufficiently to block air passages. Hyacinth, Narcissus and Daffodil bulbs bring special problems because of their resemblance to onions. A mistake of identity may cause nausea and diarrhea even when eaten in small amounts. In your flower garden be wary of certain plants. All parts of Azalea, Delphinium, Foxglove, Iris, Lobelia and Lily-of-the-valley are toxic. Other plants that are poisonous poisonous include: Eggplant, Four O'clock, Hydrangea, Jerusalem Jerusalem Cherry, Morning Glory, Oleander, Poinsettia and Sweet Pea. . Two commonly grown garden garden plants, also deserve special consideration. Vines,. sprouts and green sections of the common potato have caused stomach upset. Sunburned Sunburned potatoes should have the green spots cut well away before cooking. Rhubarb leaves can cause abdominal pains, vomiting and convulsions convulsions with a few hours. In the fields beware of buttercup and pokeweed, which may cause stomach upset and-or diarrhea. Cowslip, Cowslip, skunk cabbage and bloodroot can all result in poisoning. The leaves and pits of the wild berry or western choke- cherry have also caused severe poisoning and death in children - particularly when large amounts of the berries were eaten with the stones intact. The fruit of the chokecherry is safe for jellies as the seeds are removed. It is important to learn about the plants in your area that could cause harm; and that you teach your children how to recognize poisonous plants like poison ivy; not to eat unknown plants or to suck plant nectar. If a child chews or swallows part of a plant, which you think is poisonous, contact the emergency department at the hospital immediately. Try to get a specimen of the plant ingested to aid in the determination determination of needed treatment. It's hard to believe that anything as beautiful as a flower can cause harm, but, unfortunately, many of them could be deadly.
