new county home building program which lias been delayed too long already said a member of the ontario county council referring to the attempt now on foot to have location of the heme switched from whitby to uxbridge building plans have now been completed and it had been proposed to call for tenders next week if a change of site is permitted it would probably delay the start of building until spring of 1951 uxbridges mayor robert j harris has led the movement for change in site he is enthusias lically in favor of a site just out of the uxbridge town limits which is supposedly available at a price or sloo an acre the objectionable feature of the present situation to many observ ers is that apparently heavy undercover pressure has been brought to bear for the proposed change question of site was thor oughly discussed and agreed upon by all parties before employing an architect or making any expendi tures it is pointed out that there is nothing in the agreement between oshawa and the county which specifies any site for the proposed 8650000 home it has always been clearly understood that it would be erected on the present county property immediately south of the old building members of the building com mittee are rae ferguson warden of uxbridge who is most strongly in favor of seeing the building in his home town j a hawtin of beaverton chairman of the com mittee who is said to be in accord with the proposition thomas h harding of reach township who is said to favor the change dun can mclntyre of whitby who is vigorously opposed to what has been going on and william h westney of pickering whose atti tude will likely be to retain the present site should the present site be abandoned architects rounwaithe and fairfield will have to ditch a large part of their plans there will be a further long delay in the building program and much of the expenditure already made will be useless it is certain that the department of health which sub sidizes 00 of the capital expendi tures on county homes will not countenance any subsidization of monies put forth on a project which failed to materialize pres ent stage of the plans is that tenders can now be called if the site is not switched to uxbridge arrangements have been made for the town of whitby to install sewer and water services only reason given to the timesgazette for the proposed switch is that whitby might secede from the county though it was not stated what bearing this would have upon the county home relations because uxbridge is some 25 miles from oshawa and lacking bus service it is doubtful that oshawa residents would favor having to visit their friends in the home from that distance joy beauty salon near cnr permanent waving individual styling razor shaping phone stouffvllle 98w2 i most

the season the income tax took him for a loop he netted only gs535 taxes ted williams in 1950 will receive 125000 federal income tax will cut him down he will end up the year with 6202s inflation since 1931 has cut the purchasing power of the dollar so ted williams take home pay in 1950 is a little more than half that of babe ruths in 1931 57 if you want to be exact about it yes these figures are american it couldnt happen to us or could it the question is worth consider ing let us examine the facts here is a business executive who had in 1939 an income of 10000 he also had something of more value a wife and two children his total income tax in that year was 74845 of which 19105 was pro vincial income tax there is now no provincial income tax in ontario in 1949 he would pay on the same income 158200 this chap was a bright lad he rose rapidly in business in 1949 his income was 25000 subject of course to income tax and touched by the higher cost of living let us see how he fared on his 25000 income he now paid 762500 his take home pay was 1737500 lucky dog but wait we are not yet through with this boy the cost of living is up approximately 60 in other words he must pay now 160 for the goods which cost him 100 in distant 1939 if we divide his take home pay by 150 we will have his earning in terms of dollars of 1939 purchasing power what is the answer i have worked it out for you it is 1085800 he didnt get away with much on the 15000 salary increase did he let us see what happened to a smaller fish in the puddle assume that the man with 5000 in 1939 moved up to 10000 in 1949 and see what happened to him in the earlier year he paid in taxes 13300 leaving him with 486640 when his income rose to 10000 his taxes amounted to 158200 leaving him with 841800 now run it through the increased living costs divide by 160 he has or had in his hands or in the bank 526100 i wonder if he thought much of his new found riches what happens to the fellow with an income of 2750 in 1939 he paid no federal income tax if his income is now 5000 he pays 45300 in income tax he has 4517 dollars to spend equivalent to 2842 in terms of prewar dollars the income of each had increased slightly the chap who held to his old earning was strict ly out of luck a farmer cannot get rich by burning his crops the manufacturer gains nothing from smashing his mactiines war is destruction without reason or common sense the only things it creates are poverty hate want and misery the conquest of war is the greatest task of humanity will we ever be equal to it canadian population estimates at june 1 1919 showed that out of a total of 13549000 persons there were 8779800 between the ages of sixteen and seventy and therefore not qualified for old age pensions or baby bonus
