Annis, «Photo courtesy of The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, Technique Is Varied The sum total of evasions or at- tempted evasions of income tax in this country and this year of grace will probably be considerable, writes Walter O'Hearn from New York in the Montreal Star. A good many of the citizenry, fastening on the news of recent scandals in the U. 8, Bureau of Internal Revenue, are operating on the theory that the tax men are a bunch of nincompoops or free loaders, or worse. RECEIVING TAUNTS Already investigators checking into the accounts of delinquents have been greeted with the cry "Yahh-h grafters" and told to g0 peddle their influence elsewhere. Actually, as the defiant citizens his | will learn in due course, this im- pression is quite wrong. Uncle Sam's tax-gathering machinery. is ponderous bu efficient and while there have been scandals at the top, usually among political office holders, the great army of civil servants who make up the depart ment are hard-working and ruth- less in the government's interest. KILL BIRDS TOAID GROWTH OF SALMON Ottawa (CP) -- Canadian scien- tists are gunning for birds, and they hope the hunting will result in richer salmon catches along the Atlantic coast. \ The dive - bombing kingfisher and the migrant merganser, couple of flying anglers that look on young salmon as tasty hors d'oeuvres, are the objects of the hunt in the interests of scientific research, better angling and more salmon on the dinner table. It's an experiment aimed at showing -- and fish scientists say it's already pretty well shown-- that cutting down on the two fish- ing birds along Atlantic spawning streams will step up the population of the delectable and sporty sal- mon. With th unatéustomed shotgun and the bird trap, the researchers have been working in two big out- door laboratories marked out in New Brunswick, where salmon is big business both from the com- mercial and the sporting stand- Their approach to taxable in- point come is rather different from the one Canadians are used to. Char- itable contributions within reason are accepted without too much scrutiny, whereas the Canadian taxpayer has to clip and mail a whole sheaf of receipts if he would claim any deductions for charity. Medical deductions are lenient but just. JOINT RETURNS Basic exemptions are generous $600 each for the taxpayer, spouse and each dependent. Husbands and wives making a joint return can get a lower rate by first halv- ing their net income, then com- puting the tax then doubling the sum due. (This is a particular ad- vantage in the higher brackets, where the rate increases sharply. For example, twice the tax on d | $15,000 is a god deal lower than the straight tax on $30.000.) From the foregoing it might ap is a very rosy 1| climate for the taxpayer. Not nec- ving besides his widow are four daughters, Mrs. John Gross, Urbana, Illinois, Mrs. mgn, Orillia, Mrs, Henry McNeil, tby and Mrs. Vernon Elliott, Wa. The funeral service was held from the Doolittle Bros. Funeral Home on January 21 with the Rev. E. L. Simmonds officiating. The pallbearers were the Messrs. An- Duncan, Elmer Howel, McKee, Harry Thorburn, James McKee, and George Thor- burn. Interment was at James's cemetery. Indecent Action Costs Accused $50 Charged with commission of an indecent Dakin or one month in jail. The charge arose out of an al- leged indecent exposore made hv accused, at the corner of John and Burke ets, on the evemi; u: Janhary 2, where several young children were selling newspapers. Defence attorney John Greer told the court that Dakin had been drinking fairly heavily that day, both in Whitby and Oshawa, and was in such a state that he didn't realize he was indecently exposed while trying to buy a paper from the children. more more moremore The children in question, who wi subjected to this un-nerving experience, were in court this m g, and were brought in in- di ally to undergo questioning by 'Crown Attorney Alex C.

Alexander Made Privy Councillor Ottawa (CP)--Prime Minister St. Laurent today that Vis- count Alexander will be made a member of his mafesty's Canadian Council when he retires next a8 governor-general, is the first retiring governor- in to be honored way. essarily so. If Uncle Sam's collec- tors are lenient in some ways they are sharp in others. No businessman, for example, will attempt to write off more than 20 per cent of his gross take as '""'expenses" unless he wants to spend weeks going over his books with a group of sharp young men trying to explain that his journeys were really necessary. The British | businessman, who in a time of vir tually confiscatory-taxation has found the inland revenue more lenient than of yore and who are 8t. | practically existing on expense ac- counts, would find a stern reckon- ing here. In another department, which might be called the wages of sin, the American internal revenuers are right on their toes. The wages of sin is death, we were told of of |Yore. This has been amended to --the wages of sin are taxable. HIGH ACCURACY While it is true that the bureau came in for some criticism during the Kefauver investigations and after, for accepting flat estimates and lump sum payments from big time gamblers, the odds are that the estimates were pretty close to the truth, In Canada, where a good day at the track isn't taxable, sharpies have been known to buy up win- ning mutuel tickets to save the stubs in an attempt to lower their gross returns. Nothing of the sort would go down in the United States, where the winning tickets would be taken as evidence of income. Indeed, many a sport who thought he could keep track win- nings in a left-hand pocket and pay no tax upon them, has been pulled up sharp. Every well-known race course in the country has spot- ters posted at strategic intervals, ready to tip off the bureau when a citizen has made a killing. Persons whose income is hard to approxi- mate, such as waiters in big- spending establishments, are like- ly to find a sharp scrutiny of their bank accounts, their style of living rigidly appraised. Indeed, at the late Elmer Irey related in his book, "The Tax-Gatherers," bur eau investigators found ways of computing the profits of organized vice and astounded their victims with the shrewdness of their reck- oning. WATCH BIG ONES This sort of sleuthing does not concern the average citizen, whose tax return can be a yery simple item if all payments are covered by withholding from salary. In- deed all lower and middle bracket returns are subject only to spot- There, kingfisher - merganser control and other measures are being tested under the auspices of co ordinating c ommittee. on Atlantic salmon. This body is made up of representatives of the federal fisheries department and the gov- ernment's of the five east - coast provinces. On New Brunswick's Pollett river, its experts for six years have been watching the survival rate 'of planted salmon. Part of the time, they gave the fast - flying, fast- swimming merganser duck and the smaller kingfisher, who has an exclusive diet of fish, a free hand. In other years, they thinned out tis two birds by gunning and trap- ping. Dr. C. J. Kerswill of the fisheries research board, secretary to the committee, says that in the bird- controlled period there was a jump of eight or nine times in the num- ber of salmon surviving long enough to set out for the sea at the age of two years. USED SP. PERMITS On the 11 . mile river stretch, fishery teams disposed of between 50 and 75 mergansers a year, using special permits under the inter- national migratory birds conven- tion. About 180 kingfishers a year were killed. Studies of the birds showed, Dr. Kerswill said, that baby salmon, when available, are the main dish of both the mergansers and king- fishers. But the kingfisher's appe- tite is relatively light. So in the current experiment-- in the larger area of two tributar- ies of the salmon-rich Miramichi in New Brunswick -- the govern- ment men are concentrating on mergansers. They plan to thin out the mergansers by about 100 a year. This will be done first on one tributary and then on the other, with. the results checked against each other. Dr. Kerswill said it's hoped the annual run of two - year - old salmon to the sea will be doubled, So far, he emphasized, the whole thing is in the research stage. "We hope to demonstrate," Dr. Kerswill said with scientific cau- tion, 'that this is a practical pro- cedure for increasing the run of salmon. It must be stressed, too, that if it were put into effect, it always would have to be carefully controlled and well organized." As a matter of fact, it is not too clear that there could be such a general thinning - out of a mig- ratory bird under existing legisla- tion. But it will be a few yearns yet, at a further stage in the research, before that point is likely to be raised. . HIT PARKED AUTO Gordon Rae, 553 Oxford Street, was involved in a minor accident about 7:30 last night, when he hit a parked car on Hall Street. The street was slippery, according to police, and there was slight dam- age to both the cars, which were insured. , Z i) checking, In the léwer divisions one in a hundred may be double- checked, in a slightly higher brack- et one out of every ten.

Unemployed (Continued from Page 1) out of work men keep their union connections. William Rutherford, an auto- worker delegaje on the special committee, reported on talks held with the City Council and the wel- fare office. He contended that if the City Council wanted to keep the taxes down it should find pro- jects on which men could work so that it would not have to pay out welfare without getting any return. The Council had written to the federal and provincial governmens about new projects, declared Mr. Rutherford, but he alleged that the letters had no force behind them. The correspondence merely asked if and when the works were going to start instead of stating emphatically that they were badly needed. SEEN RESULT OF PRESSURE A report on the setting up of the "Do It Now" campaign to find part-time work for the unemployed was given by Chris Mason who was a member of the advisory com- mittee on ployment which in- augurated the scheme this week. He said it was his opinion that the plan came into being as a di- rect result of pressure from the uneinployed group. . "The idea is to get a little bit of work for the people who are unemployed" said Mr, Mason, The same scheme had been tried with success at Timmins and in Oshawa the people mainly needing help were those who were cut off from insurance benefits. '"The success of this plan is en- tirely up to the citizens, business people and factory owners who can offer some form of work such as carpentry, cellar-fixing, etc.", said Mr. Mason, After answering a rapid-fire bar- rage of questions on the "Do It Now' Mr, Mason went on to re- port on the activities of the un- employed workers union in Tor- onto. That union had prepared a brief for submission to the con- trollers and the union to be set up in Oshawa intended to follow that plan, REASON FOR REQUEST The request for the 50 per cent increase in benefits was neces- sitated, said Mr. Mason, by the fact that it was generally agreed that a married man with a f y could not live on $21.50 a week. Those who received no benefits at all were in a terrible plight and the $5 offered to them by the wel- fare department was of little use. Removal of credit restrictions would open up the auto industry once more by allowing working men to buy cars. That in turn would give more business to the steel and rubber industries and feeder plants, The last of the brief's points asking for house pay- ments would aid e x-fervicemen who had had to buy houses to get somewhere to live. If they were not assisted their homes would be claimed by mortgage companies, said Mr. Mason. The brief will be printed and a copy given to each member of the unemployed union before it is pre- sented to the Council. DELEGATION SUGGESTED Bill Rutherford suggested that on the night when it was presented #5 many unemployed as possible should attend the Council meeting. That attendance would foreibly bring home the situatiow to alder- men and make them 'nervous' he declared in the only staiement of the meeting that drew applause. The committee is to check with the city council on whether work is available for men on snow clear- ing schemes, e 17 British governors-general who Riel Veteran Led Exciting Life to End Saskatoon (CP)---Honore Joseph Jaxon, the 90-year-old Riel rebel- lion veteran who died in New York early this month, was Louis Riel's English secretary and in later years was connected with Saska- toon's first labor strike. Jaxon was known around Lower Manhattan as a derelict and once lived in a shack of orange crates on the banks of the Bronx river. But a search of his papers after his death indicated he may have owned considerable property. Bruce Peel, chief cataloguer of the Rutherford Library at the University of Alberta, came upon much information of Jaxon while doing research on a book about Saskatoon which is being written by him and Eric Knowles, manag- ing editor of the Saskatoon Star- Phoenix. J Mr, | sald Jaxon was born William Henry Jackson in Ontario and that' his story of having a Virginian. father and a hali-breed mother is fiction. Jaxon attended the University of Toronto and came west in 1882 or 1883, settling in the Prince Albert district. Jaxon joined Louis Riel in Feb- ruary, 1885 ,and was made the French - speaking rebel leader's English secretary. The excitement of armed insur- rection proved too much for Jaxon and he became insane. Thus at Riel's trial Jaxon escaped the consequences of his association with the rebel leader. He was sent to a mental institu- tion in southern Manitoba. One day 4 minister visited the institutional farm, Jaxon seixed the minister's team and rig and did not stop until he had crossed the United States border. Jaxon became associated with the knights of labor organization and reappeared in Canada in 1909 during a construction workers' strike in Saskatoon. During arbi- tration proceedings the mayor questioned the right of an Ameri- can to participate in the strike. Jaxon said he was not an American but was silent on his former connection with the Sas- katchewan valley. Feh. 28 Date Set For Parliament Opening Ottawa (CP)--Prime Minister St. Laurent announced today that parliament will open Thursday, Feb, 28. He said it is not likely that the new governor-general, Rt. Hon, Vincent Massey, will be sworn' into office before the opening. Two Men Fined For Paper Theft Two men were in police court this morning each, charged with stealing a newspaper out of a corn- er box, Gerald C. Ravery, 59 Ha- rold Street pleaded pleaded guilty, while Ross Stone, R. R. 2, Black- water, pleaded innocence. Magistrate F'. 8. Ebbs, fined both men $10 and coss or 10 days, re- marking that it was a mean tric! to play on the newsboy who put in long hours serving the public, and. was responsible for the re- turns' on all his papers. Stone, who was defended by John Greer, pleaded in extenuation that he had put 25 cents in the box the previous day 'for the week." Evidence in the case was given by Sergeant George McAmmond and Constable Ken Young. ' BONUS FOR FARMER Devonport, England (CP) -- A farmer got @ bonus here when he was dregsing one of his turkeys for the table. The turkey had picked up somewhere and swal- lowed a pre-Victorian gold half- sovereign, worth 10 shillings. AUSSIE PIONEERS The first permanent settlement in Australia was founded at Syd- ney, NSW, in 1788, ' TRENTON GETS DEAL FOR 220 HOMES INAREA Ottawa (CP)--An agreement has been entered into between the fed- eral government, the province of Ontario and Central Mortgage and Housing Corporation for the servic- ing of 44 acres of land at Trenton for residential housing construc- tion, 'the resources department announced today. The agreement provides for the development of 220 building lots and the setting aside of 25 lots for the construction of 25 single- family housing units for rentals. The remaining 195 lots in the land developed will ne sold to builders and individuals for residential con- struction. Three-quarters of the estimated total cost of $450,000 will be borne by the federal government with the province and the municipality sharing the remainder. Massey (Continued from Page 1) as the strategist who developed the African and Italian campaigns in the Second World War, he led the armies of many nationalities, including two Canadian divisions and an armored brigade, to bril- liantly-executed victories. Since Viscount and Viscountess Alexander came to Canada to take up the vice-regal post in April, 1946, their easy informality. has placed them among the most pop- ular of the vice-regal couples to come in this country. The new governor general, known as an ardent Canadian, is a lover of the arts and a man of high academic attainments. He is bilingual and speaks French almost as well as English. He now is chancellor of the University of Toronto--a post he presumably will relinquish--and has had rich experience in the country's cultural, educational and industrial life. He twice has served the country in key diplomatic posts --in Washington and in London. His appointment may create controversy--not about the man chosen, but about the government's decision to break with tradition and select a native son as the King's personal representative. There already has been comment ---even before the step was offic- ially announced--with some sug- gesting the move would bring poli- tics into the vice-regal office and others asserting the decision was a proper one. The appointment leaves Ceylon as the only Commonwealth country whose governor-general is a Bri- n. Mr. Massey is.4a tall, spare, dis- tinguished - looking man who is known for his diplomacy and his impeccable dress, His brother is Raymond Massey, the Hollywood apd Broadway actor. ROYAL COMMISSIONER Canadians perhaps know of him best as the man who two years ago headed the Royal Commission on Arts, Letters and Sciences. The commission studied Canada's cul- tural progress and made recom- mendations for its development. He was born in Toronto Feb. 20, 1887, of an American mother and a Canadian father and studied at the University of Toronto and at Oxford, specializing in modern history. From 1 to 1915, he lec- tured on that subject at the Uni- versity of Toronto. In 1918, he served as associate secretary to the war cabinet and as director of the government's repatriation committee and, a year later, went into business as secre- tary and director of Massey-Harris k | Company, the big farm implement firm which his grandfather had founded. PRESIDENT AT 34 By 1921, at the age of 34, he was president of the company, a job he gave up in 1925 to enter the Mae- kenzie King cabinet as minister without portfolio. His cabinet ap- pointment lasted a month because he was defeated a few weeks later in the general election of that year. He was appointed first Canadian minister to Washington in 1926 and served there until 1930. He returned to private life, but went back to government service in 1935 as Can- adian high commissioner to Lon- don, holding that post until 1946. He became chancellor of the University of Toronto in 1947. Mr. Massey is a widower, his wife having died in 1950, He has two sons, Lionel and Hart. Want to buy, sell or trade?

Fighting began at dawn. British authorities said it ended shortly after noon with the collapse of police resistance. The police in their headquarters, ringed by 1500 Britons armed with tanks and other heavy weapons, were out- numbered about two to one. In today's fighting, it was re- ported the police garrison had oi- ders from the national government to 'resist the British to the 'last man and the last shot." But they stumbled out of the en- closure to surrender after. tanks shattered their headquarters build- ing and troops advanced with fixed bayonets on adjoining barrack buildings. The heavy armor, along with several companies of British fusi- liess and pasatroops, laid siege to the three-story concrete bureau de sanitaire headquarters of the re- serves. They reduced it to smok- ing, blood-stained rubble. Shells from the 50-ton Centurion tanks, only a few yards away from the bureau, ripped huge gaps in 'the main building where the dead lay as they had fallen. After the bombardment, two companies of fusiliers made a final assault on the fortress. British Meteor Jets, meanwhile, began mounting "continuous recon- naissance" over the east and west approaches to the canal zone, RAF heedquarters here announced.
