His Monday : night budget looked to a payment, likely starting next September, of $10 a month to parents for each 16- or 17-year-old still in school. This extension of the family al- lowance would swell the annual | "baby bonus" bill by-$43,000,000 to. nearly $590,000,000 a year. Mr. Gordon also gave part- time students the right to de- duct all tuition fees above $25 a year in filing future tax re- turns. This benefit, retroactive to last Jan. 1, already is owned by full-time students. But the minister didn't change income tax rates. He didn' change sales tax.

Up Family Allowances For Teenage Students OTTAWA (CP) -- Finance} Minister Gordon Monday night! nailed down another plank from the Liberal party's 1962 election! platform by announcing in his budget. speech that family al- lowances will be extended to 16- and 17-year-olds who stay in school Furthermore, they will be given $10 a month--$2 more than the present top rate of $8 which now ends on the 16th birthday. The new measure was tied in | closely with a series of tax con- | cessions designed to keep more young Canadians in the class- rooms. The finance minister also an-| nounced a plan to allow part- brother or sister aged 21 or over who is a full-time student can claim up to $550 as an ex- emption. Under the present act, such a claim could not be made unless the deperident brother or sister was physically or mentally infirm. The new family allowances represent the 'biggest program of the classroom proposals. While the speech didn't indicate when it might begin, inform- ants said it probably will be- come effective about Sept. 1. It will cost the treasury $27,000,- 000 in the new fiscal year start-| ing April 1. Over a full year it! will cost $43,000,000.
