Little Hope For Reduction In Income Tax This Year Some of our contemporaries have been publishing editorials. full of hope that there may be reductions in the income tax for Canadians in the budget to be presen- ted in Parliament next week by the fin- ance minister, Hon. Walter Harris. . They géem to have regarded speeches made by Mr. Harris, _ deploring the high rate of taxation in Canada, as an indication that he is likely to do something about it. De- sirable as that would be from the stand- point of the Canadian people, we have to disagree with that viewpoint, and come out quite bluntly with the view that there is little hope for any reductions in income tax this year. \ For the first time since the war, government will have to pre showing a substantial defi ted that this deficit will be lion dollars. That in itself wash out any likelihood tax will be reduced. In the budget repor- the government has to cope with its in- creasing deficit in its social security funds, from which old age pensions are paid. This deficit has been growing month by month because the amount of income tax allotted to it is not sufficient to meet the payments. This makes it possible that this portion of the income tax may have to be increased. because the burden of these payments will increase substantially rather than decrease as the years go by. It is true that there has been a decrease in defence expenditures, but there are no indications that other expenditures are coming down. Some of them, such as the costs of War Veterans' Allowance, are hound to increase. So the picture which the Hon. Mr. Harris has to face in fram- ing his budget is not one which gives much room for hope for a reduction in in- come tax. It is our guess that there will be very little, if any, change in that tax. Our only reservation is that we hope we are all wrong. Increased Use Of Airlines The outstanding feature in the annual report of the Trans-Canada Airlines is not the fact that achieved a surplus, this ti of close half a million dollars. but ti air traffic hag increased by some 10 + cent the previous year, This indicate er feeling of air-mindedness on tl of the people of Canada, since one of the factors in the favorable position of the company was the incre: mber of passengers carried. "Phe Trans-Canada shows, carried 1,438; passengers « ing the year 1954, an increase of 10 per cent over 1953. This Fic contributes the major share of the line's revenue, accounting for $ 868 out of a total revenue of $68,76 . There were ificreases, however, in other de; Air freight revenues increased by cent, air express by 10 per cent and air mail revenue by eight per cent. the compar has again to over a great- e part the report IE ur- airtments. 18 per Part of this splendid record, of course, is due to the progressive attitude of the airlines management in improving its equipment. In June of last year. Super- Constellation service was inaugurated on the trans-Atlantic routes and was extend- ed to trang-continental flight in Septem- ber. Now a fleet of the latest type Vis- aircraft has been secured, giving the TCA the honor of becoming the first commercial operator of turbine-propeller powered aircraft in North America. This trend towards giving the people of Canada the best that is available in modern air- craft doubtless has much to do with the success of TCA operations. The report is a very gratifying one, and reflects great credit of the management being given the Trans-Canada Airlines by the president, G. R. McGregor, and his highly capable and efficient staff. It is encouraging, too, to note that on a long- termi basis, the TCA prospects for con- tinued financial success are good. count Construction Heads For Peak 3 ec- One of the bright spots on Canada' onomic horizon for the year 1955 is the construction industry, wi headed for an all-time 1} March Business Review, 1 treal makes note of this, a predicted high level' of Canada's constru provide a and employment during Since the building of n ment and housing em; the labor force of might well be the main try's prosperity, as it } whole of the postwar million in 1946, ti tal outlays incre: ' $5841 million in 1953.

BYE 03 pe Aclaye l QUEEN'S PARK New Liens Law Shows Caution By DON O' HEARN Special Correspondent The Times-Gazette TORONTO: The Government is proceeding cautiously on its registry of liens legislation. It is making a move to adopt the recommendations of the select committee that sat last year but it isn't going to be in any hurry about it The bill has been introduced' in the House by Robert Macaulay who was chairman of the committee, but it isn't going to be proceeded with beyond first reading this year. Before this will. become law, however, it will be circulated and and any criticism or 'sugges- tion received on it. Then next year it will be intro- duced with any necessary amend- ments and come before the House again for approval. This is th same procedure that was followed with the revision of the Securities Act a few years ago. In that case the tactic followed without doubt was a wise one, for it was a highly technical piece qf legislation and undergoing very considerable revision. The same circumstances don't apply with the Liens Act. Although a new departure it is a fairly straightforward matter. However, there are at least two reasons for the Government's policy rgarding it. One of them is that in an elec- tion year the new practice of having liens show on their owner's permits might not be too popular with some of the voters. The other is that a considerable machinery would be necsary to administer such a new practice and it would take considerable time to set this up. FOR BETTER HEALTH Those With Colitis Should Go On Diet By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN; MD It is always important that you eat the right foods and in the proper amounts. It is doubly im- portant when you've got chronic ulcerative colitis If you are bothered by order, which we discus h terday, you will naturally have to eat low residue foods. These foods .must not irritate, and must be digested almost entirely in your stomach and small intestine, thas leaving little residue for the colon. At the same time, they must con- tain an adequate amount of calor- ies, proteins, minerals and vita- mins. TEMPORARY DIET If you have severe diarrhea, your doctor may advise the follow ing diet temporarily Breakfast: Melba toast, farina, butter, .one egg, warm tea, warm milk Lunch butter, jello Supper: One poached egg, mel- ba toast, butter, warm milk, cust- ard This diet is for temporary use only, since it is not adequate nu- tritionally for the average person. In really severe cases, your doctor will probably advise that you take only liquids. As you improve, he will gradu- ally add potatoes and cooked fruits and vegetables to your diet. You should not eat raw fruits and vegetables or fruit juices. Sta away from alcoholic beverages, too.

Not the arrogant and ag- gressive for their own interests, but the humble - minded before God shall possess the land. The Greek word means "good will to- ward men and reverent obedience toward God." Meekness is right relationship, and right relationship provides God with opportunity, and God never misses an opportunity Meekness is not inaction and es- cape, it is commitment and alle- giance to the will of God. Meek- ness is not timidity and apprehen- sion, it is daring and persistent devotion to God. Meekness is an essential element in Christlikeness, In are and our Lord is himself the best definition and illustration of it The really significant thing about meekness is found in what it enables God to do. The spirit of good will toward men and rev- erent obedience to God opens doors and windows for the Eternal and presents him with access to human faculties. He is able to quicken thought, direct emotion, make sensitive the means of dis- tinction between right and wrong, increase strength of determina- tion to walk in the divine light, sustain faith and courage. Happy is the man who is thus invaded and permeated. That of God within is awakened and turn- ed homeward. When a man seeks to save his own life, he loses it; when he is reverently obedient to God and demonstrates good will to Cash Levies Under Protest By Builders TORONTO (CP)--Cash levies on builders, being made by municipal- ities throughout Canadas, will be protested to provincial govern- ments by the National builders Association, John Caufield- Smith, secretary of the association said Sunday. Mr. Smith said many builders must pay municipalities from $300 to $500 for each new house erected and, as a result, home buyers have to pay higher prices. Gordon Ship, president of the association which begins a week- long convention here Body, said municipalities are apathetic to- ward new home building at this time, arguing that housing devel- opment is outstripping industrial development, His argument against this was that housing development in Canada has not yet caught up with demand. ' OTTAWA REPORT Coast Islands Endanger Ships By PATRICK NICHOLSON Special Correspondent to The Times-Gazette OTTAWA--The only uninhabited Canadian islamds ever to be men- tioned in the governor-general's speech from the throne are in the news again. These are the twin Ripple Rocks which endanger shipping in British Columbia's Seymour narrows. The northern rock, "Fatty", is 150 feet long and the southern "Slim" is 300 feet long, at ship - crippling depths beneath the waves. In the throne speech in January, outlining the government's planned legislation, he announced: "To im- prove navigation on the Pacific coast, you will be asked to make Provision for the removal of Ripple oc This was the first official notice that Parliament would be asked to vote tax money tb cover the esti- rhated cost of a renewed attack on the bit of B.C. on which both shipping and the government had badly stubbed its toe. Up to this, time, the federal gov- ernment has wasted a $1,000,000 of the taxpayers' money in abortive attempts to blast these generally submerged rocks into even deeper water. Now the government is put- ting itself, instead of Ripple Rock, into that deeper water. Act Two of the removal of this twin encumbrance revealed that the Nationa) Research Counc] bag hired a Vancouver man, Dolmage, to tackle the recalcitrant Ripple. This revelation follows 12 years after two other Vancouver men, the well-known engineers, Charles Starr and R.

Bahrain's Burial Mounds Still Locked In Mystery WASHINGTON -- Locked in the sun-baked sands of Bahrain Is- land is the unsolved mystery of its myriad burial nfpunds.

A 1%-mile causway links Manama with the neighbor- ing town and island of Muharraq or "Place of Burning." Awali. the air-conditioned settlement built by oil men, means 'High Place." Scientists - of several coun- tries have failed to establish the identity of the ancient people who erected Bahrain's famous tumuli. Findings include the bones of men and animals, broken pottery, necklaces, alabaster jars, stone articles of bronze and ivory, bead bowls even traces of textiles. The specimens are poor, however, be- cause of the ilsand"s humidity, salty soil and ravages of insects. C ts of the tombs present curiolls contrasts.

Wannamaker Organ Sells For Only $1,200 NEW YORK The famous $20,000 Wannamaker organ, whose pipes have sung to the touch of the great world organists of this century, just missed being sold for junk. Matter of fact, the junk dealers weren't on the ball at all in an auction held in the vacated, out- of-business John Wannamaker de- partment store. They dropped out in the bidding and let the organ go to a New Jersey firm for only $1,200. Then they kicked themselves all around the place when they found they had under their noses a haul of metal worth perhaps $20,000 on the scrap market, The organ has some 8,000 tin-and-lead pipes (concealed from the junk dealers in seven pipe lofts on three floors).
