McINTYRE HOOD Special London, England Correspondent to The Oshawa Times PETERHEAD, Scotland -- As} the old year was dying, travelled north to Peterhead to convey the greetings of the festive season to 88-year-old John Porter Greig, who 15 months ago came over from Osawa to spend the closing years of his long and adventur- ous life in the land of his birth. Readers will recall that John Greig was one of the first Canadian old age pensioners to travel to Britian when this pen- sion became payable outside of Canada. It was more like Canadian than British weather as I travel- led north, with the temperature down about 15 and a snow bliz- zard threatening to block the roads. But there was warmth in front of a roaring fire, and in the welcome I received from Mr. Greig and his sister, Miss Bella Greig. With the hospital- ity for which the Scots are noted, especially at this festive time of the year, I was made to feel very much at home as J removed my shoes to warm my feet by the fire. REMARKABLY WELL It was good to find my old Oshawa _ friend remarkably well and active. A few weeks ago, he had been confined to bed with chest trouble, but he has made.a good recovery, and was in excellent form, He had just received his Canadian old age pension cheque that morn- ing and had a taxi ordered for the next morning to take it to the bank to be changed into pounds, shillings and pence. With his Canadian old age pension, of $55 a month, an an- nuity of $10 a month, and his sister's British old age pension, this aged couple live comfort- ably and well! in their modest council house not far from the seafront just south of Peter- head. John has no_ regrets about leaving Canada to spend the rest of his days with his devoted sister. He is much happier than he was when I last visited him in August, for a very good rea- son. He was missing his fine collection of books which had and much of his time is spent in volumes of history, and the classics. Just before we sat down to a splendid dinner, his doctor him the greetings of the season: He was well satisfied and told ed Mr. Greig had a wonderful constitution for a man of his age. LOOKING FORWARD is still looking forward. Well into his 89th year, he is looking ahead for 1962 keenly, and with jthe hope that it might bring peace and security out of the troubled conditions which now prevail in the world. He was very grateful for jmany Christmas greetings he reading the well - thumbed| philosophy} called to see him and to wish| @ me, privately, that he consider-} In spit of his age, Mr. Greig] i a eas peers ry ~y | TAX COLLECTOR Nine years ago a petition by all affected Oshawa City Hall department heads was sent to council asking for abolishment of the poll tax, then $7.50. Tite council of that day re- plied by upping the tax te $10. Last night, City Tax Collector Clarence Cox asked council to abolish the tax. His argument: out of about $17,000 collected in 1961, he figures it cost his de- partment alone over $13,000 to collect it. One woman in Mr. Cox's department works full time on poll tax collections. REQUEST REFERRED The request was sent to the finance committee. Netherlands Say Won't Give In THE HAGUE (Reuters)--For- \eign Minister Joseph Luns told the lower house of Parliament .4\today that "the Dutch govern- ment is not prepared to capitu- late in the face of Indonesian threats of war."

These include assessment, which. obtains names; treasury, which last year made 116 refunds of poll tax collected in error; city soli- citor, who appeared in court several times last year to prose-| cute 233 summonses; and the magistrate's office staff. Who pays the poll tax, which) is set up under the Statute! Labor Act? |. Males between 21 and 60 who| --are not assessed for property or business tax; who are not jdescribed as tenants in two or more rooms (valuation of the property occupied must exceed) $400 to be exempt); who are) not exempt from _ performing} |statute labor; (labor for a muni- jcipality); Ontario students go- jing to school outside the prov-| jince. | SOME EXEMPTIONS Some exemptions: members| of the armed services; a per-| son assessed as a tenant or| property owner in any other Ontario municipality. The onus is on the person to provide proof in every case. Besides collecting directly from those obliged to pay the tax, Mr. Cox's department sends out '"'demand notices" to city industries and commercial! establishments; it then becomes compulsory for the employer to deduct the tax and forward it to the city. Last year 898 demand no- tices were sent out. OBITUARIES MRS, DAVID D. MULLEN A resident of Oshawa for 52 years, Mrs. David D. Mullen, died at Hilisdale Manor Wed- nesday, Jan. 3.
