at stouffville ontario subscription rates per year in advance in canada 200 in usa 260 a v nolan son publishers notes and comments timely rental reminders first of may movingday is just around the corner therefore a couple of timely rental reminders should be interesting if youre looking for an apartment a house or a flat the prices board warns you that it is illegal for landlords to require the payment of rewards or bonuses and under the present regulations landlords may not ask f or more than one months rent in advance now that so many people are returning from overseas to set up housekeeping and get back into civilian life they will be well advised to ask the landlord to show them his wptb certificate indicat ing the approved rent this is your protection against in flated rents if the apartment has never been rented before the rate charged must be set within thirty days by a rentals appraiser of the board and if the rental you have agreed to pay is higher than that set by the prices board deduct the overcharge from your next months rent rent control regulations prohibit unfair practices for the benefit of landlords who do not play fair as well as for people in search of scarce accommodation in congested war centres a message for farmers canadian farmers are confronted with a rare oppor tunity to do some effective planting in their own interest and in that of the nation wdalbright declared recently in aiberta canadian farm income which reached a low of 383000000 in 1932 has risen 722000600 in 1939 and to 1748000000 estimated gross income in 1944 while a good deal of the jump is represented by price increase volume has held up well every important wartime call upon canadian farm production has been substantially met or more than met in spite of labour shortage artd the shortage of new machinery but while this magnificent record was being achieved the farm plant has been running down at heel and that cannot go- on forever it is a good time for each farmer to sit down and carefully consider a definite plan for the future looking toward the improve- mentof his farm enterprise improvement of his farm home the future welfare of his family and the possibility of set ting aside something for a nest egg and keeping it as a reserve against contingencies- victory bonds are the ideal means to these ends but it must be remembered that 100 will not do the work of s200 each farmer must consider what he needs most perhaps it is a well or a dugout or water on tap in the house or a newbarn or a new house or a new tractor or some good stock make a list of the desirables and review it carefully and dont be in too much of a hurry to spend it all there may be a buying spree after the war as there was after the last war in which case prices will strain the con trols some of the dollars may buy more if they are held two or three years after the war by buying bonds now and thinking out a careful plan of using the proceeds later on we may not only help to win the war but help to win the peace as well government that imposesthe restrictions and collects the taxeslmust accept its unpopularity as part of the price it pays for power- irritation with government arises more from the details of administering its policies than from the policies themselves for example no honest patriot will argue that we could wage war without submitting to burdensome taxes the government implements the peoples will when it provides in its budget for the legitimate costs of war when it works out specific measures for collecting these costs from the taxpayers- it a too frequently follows principles that strike the citizen as mean or dishonest thus the- citizen who through a natural and innocent miscalculation underpays his income tax learns two or three years later that he must pay the deficit with interest tnc deficit of coirrse is his own fault because he has neglected his opportunities of higher education and is unfit to cope with complexities of tl general the interest on the other hand accumulates because of delay in the income tax department but the department pays no interest to the taxpayeron an overpayment of income tax and in fact is very dilatory in refunding the overpayment the tax payer is always on the losing side in his personal capacity the taxpayer is above taking pennies from children if he gives a thought to the matter he must blush when he thinks of his government doing that very thing every day with its taxes on candy and soft drinks again what happens to the taxes collected at the source from dividends paid to those who are not taxable a person whose sole income is 600 a year in dividends needs the 42 that the taxing authorities have grabbed but he can get it only by entangling himself in red tape he may not even know his rights in the matter if there is any branch of the income tax department charged with the duty of seeking out and remedying injustice it has received so little publicity as to be unknown the taxcollectors old motto the most feathers with the least squawking may not be a perfect maxim for governments to follow but it is preferable to the modern motto feathers at any cost squawks and feathers apart from its errors of commission and omission any wartime government is bound to become unpopular citizens dont like paying heavy taxes they dont like rationing and they dont like price control wage control or national selec tive service they mayadmit that some or all of these war time phenomena have been necessary even though canada fought the war of 191418 without such weapons but the better have an average mentality dr clarence hinks of toronto is some sort of a brain specialist or mental capacity estimator and recently made some reference to the genius class in humanity as being of a higher grade of intelligence yet it is a noticeable fact that many geniuses have been dunces at school and so often their intelligence is very onesided in fact people will on occasion feel sorry for a certain genius who knows for instance only mathematics yet is a perfect freak in normal lines take the longhaired musician so often he is queer or the artist who is a lonely recluse with a cracked mind- coming to the writers own field our acquaintance with a few brilliant writers reveales some queer turns of ability writers many of them are poor spellers men who hated grammer and fell down badly in arithmetic and geography at school men whose brain wouldnt function without a whiskey or two bernard shaw used to be an atrocious speller tennyson left oxford without a degree goldsmith was so dum as a conversationalist that someone said of him he writes like an angel and talks like a poor individual ben johnson said- of shakespeare that he had little latin and less greek and certainly did not display an intelligence in his domestic affairs from all accounts this reminds us that the editor of this paper once visited the home of ann hathway in england and was shown the big fire place where ann sat with wm shakespeare to do their courting and just behind them would sit anns parent so perhaps the poor fellow never had a chance to run his own domestic affairs be that as it may he was a dud in domestic affairs we read likewise burns byron shelley and coleridge were placed as children so far as the practical affairs of the world are concerned but they were great men with power ful mentality and personality what we are emphasizing is that we need not be a specialist or a genius- better we think that one should be generally smart in the normal callings of life look at

great missionary convention is now in progress at the gormley mbc church at which rev ssshapti will tell of his work carried on in nigeria west africa on thursday evening may 10th at s oclock are ottawa pensions really fair there has recently been some sharp shooting at canadas pension scheme and this led to the chief pensions officer of the canadian legion to say that canadas pensions are the fairest paid anywhere and the highest in the world of course mr richard hale the pension man of the legion was speak ing about pensions for soldiers we believe what some people consider is that other pensions are anything but fair for in stance the late sir william mulbck we recall was paid a pension of 8000 per year after retiring at oyer so it is to be remembered that sir william was a millionaire and couldnt beginto spend his great wealth what is fair about an 8000 pension for a man of such wealth again gen mcnaughton was offered a pension of 8000 per year while being in receipt of government or army pay of about 8000 per year it is to his credit that he turned down the pension for the time being al least but why should the dominion g overhment provide a pension for a millionaire or an 8000 per salary man danforth a uto m oirl l e supply 705 danforth ave toronto phone h a 0931 parts accessories and machine shop service stouffville floral roses wedding bouquets
