Wednesday, May 9, 1945 "^ THE FLESHERTON ADVANCE Lo, The Poor Publisher Newspaper publishers «re in a dlf- Icult positian in the matter of typo- irraphical errors and other inadvert- ent mistakes. If the newsipaper has rone to press before the error is discoYcred there is no means of cor- rcc^ir;, it. It must stand and afford amusement or qi>- -"rise for r'^aders, as the case may be. Someone has said that doctors bury their mistakes* and that lawyers never admit they make miatakes, bn'- miblisherg are not in either of th«se categories. Their mistakes stand out on the printed page for every person to dis. cover and criticise. Some amusing: errors creen into the newspapers from time to time. Others are embarrassing to the authors and some so serious that they cause consternation in the edi- torial offce. Some of our readers have perhaps heard of the carefully â-º<"»♦♦♦«-^'^♦4<'♦♦♦4-^♦♦<~^•><-^<-^♦<-M"^<•<-^♦♦<^^♦<^♦<^^^^ for CHOICE MEATS Bailey's Butcher Shop Phone 47 FLESHERTON, Ont printed restaurant menu, on which one reud the words "barely soup" insteafj of "barlev souo." This caus- ed merriment, but not the merriment that followed the reading of a report of a masquerade party, in which the writer stated that beautiful cost- umes were worn until midnieht whpp lunch was served." In one issue a certain newsipaper, which specializeH in shipping: news, carried the inter- esting information that "Miss Johnson has been engaged as social hostess aboard the S. S. Alexandria. Before leaving port on her n'- vy- age she will have '--- bottom scraped. " The reference is, of course -< the vessel but the writer of the article failed to make this clear. In reporting a collision be- tween a train and a cow in which the luckless bovine was cut in "halves,"' a typograhical error made the item state that the erp'ineer "putting on full steam, dashed up against the cow and literally cut her into calves." All this recalls the answer D -. Everett made to a Boston citizen who rushc' to him to com- plain of something that had been published in a newspaper that he considered uncomplimentary. Should he demand a public apolo'-- from the editor, or "-hould he p â€" a suit for damages, asked the irate citizen. "What should you do?" replied Dr. Everett. "My dear sir do nothing! Half the people who saw it never read it. Half the people who read it did not understand it. Half the people who understood it "•> not believe it. Half the people who be- lieved it are people of no consequence anyway." So editors, perhaps, need not worry too seriously about the mistake they make. Nevertheless they are annoying and sometimes humiliating. â€" Ex. WAR BOARD PROSECUTIONS A Vancouver taxi driver who used a taxicab to deliver a bottle of whiskey was one of the 200 persons found guilty of offences under war- time price and rationing regulations in the last reported week. He paid |100 fine under Transit Control regulations which forbids the use of such vehicles for purposes other than carrying passengers and '^heir per- sonal baggage. Fifty persons were found guilty of breaking price ceil- ings applicable to foods, clothing, used gioods and other commodities. At Winnipeg fines totalling $450 were imposed on three persons who arranged to rent an apartment at an increased price. The evidence indi- cated that the landlord, the former tenant who was sub-letting the dwelling and a real estate agent who promoted the deal had shared in the paymenit of an ejctra amount by the new occupant. Thj real estate agent was fined f200, the landlord $150 and the former tenant $100. "Pardon me, Sir", said the waiter, caking up the money "but this in- cludes nothing for the waiter." "•I didnt eat one did I?" said the jrofessor, glancing up. ^my ^umA/i/cis AND INCOME TAX THE following announcement will help to clarify the relationship between Family Allowances and Income Tax credits for dependent children. Family Allowances are payable from July 1st, 1945, and the registration of children is now taking place. The Family Allowances Act was designed to help equalize opportunities for all children, and when the Act was passed. Parliament approved the prin- ciple that there should be no duplication of benefits by way of Family Allowances and Income Tax credits for the sanae child. An amendment to the Income War Tax Act will be made to deal with this duplication. In the meantime, however, the Govern- ment proposes, for the last six months of 1945 dur« ing which Family Allowances are payable, to re- move duplication by adjusting the income tax credits received for children. It is natural that parents in the low income groups will be expected to receive maximum benefits from Family Allowances. Partial benefits will be received., however, by parents with incomes up to $3,000. The table below shows the efifect of the adjust-,^ ments which the Government has decided to make. For convenience and simplicity the benefits received- by each income group are shown as a per cen^of the Family Allowances received. The table shows: :S6iT* (d) Heads of families receiving incomes in 1945 of $1200 or less will benefit to the extent of the full amount of the Fam- ily Allowances received. As they are not required to pay income tax, there is no duplication to remove. (i) Heads of families receiving incomes in 1945 in excess of $1200, but not in excess of $3,000, will in eject retain the full value of their present income tax credits and in additioa a percentage of the actual Family Allowances received. (c) Heads of families with incomes in excess of $3,000 will retain their full income tax credits for children if they do not receive Family Allowances. These taxpayers may, however, apply for Family Allowances to protect themselves against a possible decrease in income at a later date which might bring them into a lower income range where they would benefit from Family Allowances. In such cases if the income remains in excess of $3,000, the income tax credits for child- ren would be reduced by the full amount of Family Allowances received.

For the relatively small oumber of siasle penoot sup- portins children and not havinc married status for income tax purposes, and for mcmbera of the Armed Forces, special taoles can be obtained from the Regioaal Direcior of Vamilj Allowances in each provincial capital. 100% 90% 80% 70% 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% of the actual Family Allowance* received In the year 1945. Family Allowances will be poid in full In all cases, those who apply for and are eligible to receive Family Allowances will receive them in full, month by month. See scale below: SCALE OF MONTHLY ALLOWANCES FOR THE FIRST FOUR CHILDREN For each chikJ Under 6 $5.00 From 6 to 9 . (inclusive) . 6.00 From 10 to 12 (inclusive) . 7.00 From 13 to 15 (inclusive) . 8.00 Where there are more than four children under 16 in the family, the monthly allow- ance for each child after the fourth will be reduced in accordance with the provi- sions of the Family Allowances Act. As far as is possible, to take care of the adjustments necessary to avoid duplication of benefits, current income tax deductions at the source will be adjusted to take into account the new situation when Family Allowance pay- ments commence. This will avoid placing an awkward burden on the taxpayers at the end of the year. FAMILY ALLOWANCES ARE NOT TAXABLE Special attention is drawn to the fact that the income ranges used in the table above refer to taxable income, and any amounts received as Family Allowances should not therefore be included in calculating income for this purpose because Family Allowances arc not taxable. Family Allowances are also additional to dependents' allowances for servicemen's families and military pensions. For children registered after July 1st, 1945, Family Allowances will be paid as from the month following the month when registration is made. Family Allowances sre not paid retroactively.

BEER WORSE THAJST USEIiESiS GEN. MONTGOMERY DECn>BS A great General o^ the past said that "the army marched on its ato- mach". Now we find that the grea^ est viotoriesj are bein^ won on tea. The famous Eighth Army ia being lionized far and near. A book haa recently been published extoUingr ita great deeds.. Senator Keane- may de- clare that beer is- necessary for the soldiers' morale, and others- may sfcoff at water /dsrinkers, but the fact remains that the Eighth Army won its. great viclories. on tea. Gen- eral Monitgomery ordered no beer be sent to forward troops owinsr to restrictions. It was estimated that the ration oif beer for the men- would take as much transport as the Army ration, and this General Montgom- erj- could not afford to do. It ia now also revealed that although thousands of tons of beer went to Egypt in 1942 supplies were severe- ly cut after .\lamein. When the British fore s had to retire, and the Germans were near Cairo, transport was being utilized for thousands of toirs of beer, but 'Monty' is a queer fellow, and decideti that the beer was worse than uselesis, and so the Eierhth .\rmy won its victories on tea. In a British paper great head- litws appeareii "Beer for the Eighth Army stopped by order, bullets first, in future". A very queer fellow is General Montgomery. He wins vie-" tories and he wins t'aem on "tea".â€"' The Chirton Call. " ♦ â- < 1- « Straighit-laced parents should not 4 be sat^Jcised If the children they^ l«ce into don't fo straight.
