introduced the municipal and school tax credit assistance act 1967 the bill will permit municipalities and school boards in unorgan ized territories to pass bylaws authorizing a tax credit with out interest and financed by the province this credit will be equival ent to onehalf of the read pro perty taxes excluding special rates to a maximum of 150 in each year to any resident owner 63 years of age or over the municipality will then be reimbursed by the province for these credits the taxes for which the credits have been allowed would be referred un til there is a change of own ership in the property the minister feels that since this is a deferment only other municipal ratepayers will not be subsidizing those eligible people in respect to the princi pal amounts of the tax credits during the current session of the legislature a private bill of the town of burlington was passed which provided relief for elderly citizens in a similar manner the burlington bill differs in that the total am ount of the exemption is 100 rather than 150 provides for a means test and the applic ant must have been a resident owner in the town for a mini mum of ten years the town sill also provided an outright gift to those who qualified ra ther than a deferment until the property is sold an home owners are finding it difficult to pay taxes these days and because of this the minister believes that such re lief for the elderly should not be at the expense of other rate payers in view of the fact that the municipalities i n ontario which have such private legis lation are also crying for more financial help from the provin cial government i assume that they will be happy with mr spooners announcement as it wont cost them any money nor will other taxpayers have to bear the extra cost inherent in such private legislation the important thing is that elderly home owners many of whom are living on limited in comes are gef ting relief at that time in their life when they need it most and will assist them to remain in and main tain their own homes strikes mmmp vou can m through at youth bowling council by jackie palmer my 6 1967 this was the last week of our regular schedule so

chair to break die glass and warn them to make sure all the jagged pieces of glass around the sill are removed be fore they climb through a twostorey home requires more planning because the stairs may be blocked off by fire smoke or hot deadly gases be prepared to use the upstairs windows either us ing a ladder procured by the first out of the house or via a rope with knots every two feet which can be anchored to the inside of the window warn your family to close their bedroom doors before re tiring a closed door could save a kfe by keeping out smoke and gases tell every one to keep low if there is smoke in the room because heat rises and the floor will be cooler children can be easily lost in the confusion so assign them a meeting place or have older brothers and sisters placed in charge of the young each room of the house should have its own fire escape route remember don open a win dow before the door is closed behind you or the draft could help spread the fire everyone in the family
