Ostharwn Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited . 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher SATURDAY, MARCH 14, 1964--PAGE 6 Capital Expenditures Expected To Be Record » An encouraging estimate of capi-- tal expenditures in Canada in 1964 has been given Parliament by Trade to a survey conducted by Mr. Sharp's department, capital expen- ditures this year will increase by an estimated eight per cent to a record $10,084 million, the previous high being $9,312 last year. . Expenditures for new construc- tion and for the purchase of ma- chinery and equipment are both expected to rise by eight per cent-- construction from $6,149 million to $6,665 million, and machinery and equipment from $3,163 million to $8.419 million. Business investment in 1964, as planned now, will exceed that of Jast year by more than $400 million, accounting for more than half the total increase. Greater outlays for mew plant and equipment in manu- facturing industries make the principal contribution to the higher Jevel of business investment. ** Within manufacturing, the shar- pest increases in planned invest- ment spending occur in those in- dustries engaged in the processing of primary materials. Outlays in both the paper products and the primary metals industries are ex- pected to rise by more than 40 per cent and in the non-metallic min- eral products group by close to 50 per cent. Larger capital spending programs are also indicated in mining, transportation, agriculture, commercial enterprises, housing and social capital facilities. Only petroleum and communications in- dustries anticipate a lower level of spending. The sharpest regional increases are expected in Quebec (18 per cent) and British Columbia (15 per cent). Increases are also ex- pected in the Atlantic Provinces (seven per cent) and in Ontario (five per cent), while in the Prairie Provinces, capital spending should be about maintained. The estimates seem to confirm the predictions of economists that 1964 will be a sound, prosperous: year for Canada. Cheering Or Following By REV. PHILIP L. FIESS Grace Lutheran Church < As we approach Holy Week again this year, we need to realize that there is a world of difference be- tween applauding Christ and fol- lowing Christ. Almost everyone applauds Jesus Christ; however not 'too many follow Him. They applauded Him on the first Palm Sunday as He rode into 'Jerusalem. People spread their clothes on His path. I imagine that years later people would say, "You 'gee this coat? Jesus rode on it on 'Palm Sunday." But the same shouters and applauders, five days Jater, when the chips were down, cried, "Crucify Him! Crucify Him!" 'They were ready to applaud, but not to follow; for following led to. 'Calvary and The Cross. :, "What about you? Are you ready to applaud Christ? To say that He was a great religious leader, a great teacher, a guide for loving, intelli- gent living? Or are you ready to follow Christ? Are you ready to accept Him as the Only Saviour from Sin, to get into line, and take up your personal cross and head for your personal Calvary? For follow- ing Christ must always lead to Calvary. As St. Paul says, you must be ready to crucify your evil de- sires, your greed, your immoral Justs, your hatreds.' Let's not kid ourselves, this is a hard, painful thing to do. A true follower of Christ must be prepared to DIE to SIN. : Is it worth it? For Christ, Easter followed Calvary. For every fole lower of Christ, beyond your per- sonal cross and grave is the pro- mised Easter Resurrection to eternal life. Remember: No Cross in earthly life means no Crown of eternal life, 'Down Under' Compared Supporters of a more vigorous immigration policy for Canada fre- quently point to Australia as an example of what should be: done. That country goes to considerable lengths to lure immigrants, parti- calarly those from the. British Isles. What makes this possible, indeed necessary, is a persistently" tight labor market. Unemployment, which in Canada has averaged over six per cent of the work force in the 'past' seven years, has rarely exceeded two per cent in Australia and climbed to a "high" of 3.2 per cent in the 1961 recession. In the period since the war, Australia and Canada have both enjoyed sustained economic growth, says the current issue of the Bank 6f Nova Scotia Monthly Review. High rates of population increase and capital formation have been basic ingredients in this expansion. Canada has actually attracted the larger number of migrants over the whole postwar period, but because of the drain of people to the United i 7. L.

On average, Australia and Can- ada have maintained comparable rates of-economic growth in the postwar period, but Australia's gross national product during the year ended June, 1963, both in total and per capita ($U.S. 17.6 billions and $1,680) was still lower than Canada's ($U:S. 38.7 billions and $2,060). Whereas employment in manufacturing has risen much faster in Australia, total employ- ment (excluding agriculture) has been growing more rapidly in Can- ada, reflecting the growth in ser- vice industries, utilities and mining. While it is no longer true that the Australian economy "rides on the sheep's back", wool still con- tributes at least one-third to ex- ports. In recent years, wool and Australia's second earner, wheat, have together accounted for some- thing approaching 50 per cent of total exports, and all agricultural products have made up about three- quarters, Other Editors' Views ONE-EYED CARS (Cornwall Stdfidard-Freeholder) There are far too many one- eyed cars on the streets and high- ways at night. Almost any night on a short drive on the city streets one encounters at least one or two motorists who are driving with only one headlight. In addition there are many others who are driving with improper headlights -- lights that are improperly beamed and cause trouble for other drivers, | Defence Debate "j_~--- Tories In Fine Fettle - BEFORE MAKING HIM WALK QUEBEC OPINION Opinions On Royal Trip Not Those Of Majority This is a selection of edi- torials on current topics, translated from the French- language press of Canada. Sherbrooke La Tribune -- The views put forward by some extremists in the last fortnight concerning Queen Elizabeth's visit tc Quebec next autumn do not in any way represent the opinion of the people as a whole... . If Queen Elizabeth does not arouse our sentiments to an intensity equal to that shown by our (English - speaking) compatriots, she remains the symbol of authority neverthe- Jess and it is in this capacity that she will "ome to Char- lottetown and Quebec City next October. She deserves therefore to'b» received with all the respect due her rank. In October the Queen will be our guest in Quebec and on this account we ought to receive her with dignity, as citizens -vho wish to live up to their reputation for warm hospitality toward distin- guished visitors. That will in fact be the attitude of the people in general. A few exalted persons whose sense of responsibility does not shine with any par- ticular brilliance may indeed try to sow hate and discord, but the people will not follow them because our fellow citi- - zens possess enough self - re- spect and enough regard for others not to let themselves be drawn into disgraceful and reprehensible deeds. Despite all the publicity they are en- joying, especially outside Que- bec, these extremists do not express the feelings of the people. (March 9) Quebec Le Soleil -- Much more important than the new designation (of TCA as Air Canada) is the change of at- titude in the House of Com- mons, Not often is a bill pre- sented by a private member accepted in s> short a time and without arousing any op- position, indeed. without pre- cipitating a systematic ob- struction designed to prolong the debate until adjournment GALLUP POLL time so as to send it to the bottom of the order paper. By adopting a title that is both French and English, the House has responded to a de- sire manifested by French- speaking Canadians. Our aire planes, every time they go abroad, will sa; in their own wy that Canada is a bilin- gul country. The fiercest op- ponents of Confederation will say this is a piddling con- cession. Perhaps, but it is another concession coming after a good number of 'others and proving that, by making our claims through normal and legal channels, we can advance the cause of bilin- gualism a little more each y. This cause is making cone spicuous: progress and one could cite numerous decisions of the present government aimed at giving a greater measure of justice to the French portion of the coun- try, while anticipating that the royal commission on bi- lingualism and _biculturalism will paint the true picture of the situation and present rec- ommendations designed :to es- tablish the equality of the two great ethnic groups so vital to Canadian unity. (March 6), Trois - Rivieres Le Nouvel- liste--Mr. Jean Chretien, Lib- eral member for St. Maurice- Lafleche, is without doubt one of the most brilliant rookies Quebec sent to the Commons in the last election. On sev- eral occasions he has spoken well and he has fought for the victory of common sense. He has made himself the champion of French and of bilingualism as a means of understanding between the country's two cultural groups. It is to him that we owe the official adoption of the name Air Canada as a replacement for Trans-Canada Air Lines, the clumsiness, unilingualism' and inexactness of which can- not suit a Canadian air line in our time. ... What indicates a change in the cabinet's attitude is: the fact that Mr. Chretien's bill was the first adopted by the '- Cruelty, Drunk Driving Rated As Worst Crimes By CANADIAN INSTITUTE of PUBLIC OPINION Asked to rate various offences in a "crime chart" not quite half the Canadian people put cruelty to children in first place over the othcr offences listed -- drunken driving, burglary, cru- elty to animals and tex eva- sion. Almost as many put drunk driving as the greatest offence while only six in every hundred think burglary is a greater offence than either crucity to py children or drunk driving; three pick tax evasion and two be- lieve cruelty to animals as the worst crime. ' Men and women agree in the order of offcnce. Only signifi- cant difference is that a ma- jority of women (53 per cent) think cruelty to children should be first compared to 45 per cent of the men. On the other heand more men (41 per c:nt) than women (36 per cent) give this spot to the drunk driving. Canadian attitudes today have changed little on this rat- ing over the past 17 years. In 1947 they placed the "crimes" in exactly the same order as To establish these facts, Gale lup Poll reporters hi a cross-section of the adult. popue lation a card on which six ma- jor offences were listed, They asked: ' ' "PLEASE RATE THESE OFFENCES ACCORDING TO en SERIOUSNESS". rst place rating was given in this order: as . : Most Serious Cruelty to chilidren 49 per cent Drunk driving 39 rglary 6 Tax Evasion 3 Cruelty to animals 2 Can't decide Apart from the juggling of position in the middle places, how do Canadians rate these offences as the LEAST. serious of the five?

The shot went home. Both George Brown and Denis Healey, who in the debate had taunted Mr. Thornycroft >with demonstrating a lack of trust in the United States by. insis- ing on an -independent British , remained silent.. They did not dare to reply, because if. either of them had given' the assurance the minister demand- ed, there would have been im- mediate howls of protest and disagreement from the Social- ist back benches, where were seated a coterie of Labor mem- bers who not only oppose Brit- ain's nuclear deterrent, but are aiso dead against the United States having Polaris bases in Scotland. ; MULTI-MANNED SHIPS. Equally: significant was the silence of these two Labor spokesmen on the question of the so-called multi-lateral force -- the U.S. plan to mount Polaris missiles on ships manned by international crews. Mr, Healey devoted only one sentence to this subject. Mr. Brown did not mention it at all, And the people who are most disturbed by this dead silence on a critical matter were the Left wing Socialists, who had expected their spokes- man to leave no. doubt in any- one's mind of the Labor view- » point, which .was. supposed. to te one of the implacable oppo- sition to the multi-manned ships. i The silence on these vital points did. the Labor party image more harm than any of the speeches made: by govern- ment leaders: Even if. Mr. * Brown did, 24 hours later in a speech at a Socialist meeting at ' Gravesend, try to cover up by ig. that 'a: Socialist Britain be a' loyal member of NATO and would accept the obligations which arise from that -- "'and that includes the base" -- the damage had been done when he remained silent in the fact of Mr. Thorney- ctoft's question in the House of ej Commons, and showed floundering.

YOUR INCOME TAX ~ Florida Hospital Costs Deductible ing in Florida I was confined to hospital and incurred substan- tial medical expenses. Can I claim these on my 1963 tax return? Answer: Yes. You may de- duct these expenses as well as medical expenses ineurred in Canada to the extent your total medical bills exceed 3 per cent of your net income. Question: Last year I. gave several parcels of clothes and items of furniture to a local charity. I estimate the total value of these gifts at approxi- mately $300. Can I claim this amount as a charitable dona- tion on my 1963 tax return? Answer: 'No. These. contribue tions, commonl: referred to as "gifts in kind", do not qualify for deduction as charitable do- nations for tax purposes.

My wife earn in excess of $3,000, th enabling her to buy clothes, groceries, etc. and support herself, Would it be possible for me under these circumstances to claim a $1,000 deduction for my invalid moth- er who lives with us. Answer: Ne: The Income Tax Act states that where a man and his wife lived together dur- ing the taxation year, he shall be deemed to have supported her during that year, thereby precluding a $1,000 married equivalent exemption. However, for tax purposes your invalid mother cou'qd qualify as a de- pendant (provided she did not receive net income in excess of *$950 and satisfactory proof of support is available) in which case you.could claim an exemp- tion not exceding $550 in re- spect of your mother. Question: I arrived in Can- ada on September 1, 1963 and 1963. I am rath concerned as to whether it is necessary for me to file a Cana- dian tax return and the proce> dure I should follow. I was un- employed prior to angyng in Canada. I am single and have no medical expense or charit- able donations. Answer: Yes. You are re- quired to file a Canadian tax retum reporting the income you earned in Canada. Your exemp- tions 'are affected, however, and must be apportioned based on the number of. days you were resident in Canada to the total number of days in the year, i.e. 365, Your basic exemption, there- fore, would be 121 -- 365 or $332. (rather than $1,000); simi- larly, yeir standard deduction would be $33 (rather than $100). Assuming your income for the period Septeriber 2, 1963 to De- cember 31, 1963 was $1,600, you would deduct $:32 plus $33 or $365, resulting in taxable in- come of $1,235, on which amount you would pay $150 as federal tax and $24.30 provincial tax.
