56 Yonge Street N. RICHMOND HILL HYDRO- ELECTRIC COMMISSION IAM CO0K,, Chairman It wouldn‘t be pracdcal for Imperial to divide its income dollar the way the people in our picture are doing. A more exact division is required, as you can see from tfie figures below. big item in a big country. ’ 25 cents went for costs of operating the company. This included wages and salaries for our 13,000 employees. ~ Here’s how lmperial’s income dollar is divided 9 cents was for depreciation, money set aside to help pay for replacing worn-out equipment. Last year, oul'of every dollar Imperial took in: 55 cents was spent for raw materialsâ€"mostly crude oilâ€"and for freight, a 5 mkwent to various taxes (not including provincial road taxes ranging from 10 to 181/52 .cents per gallon). _» 6 cents was left. But two of these had to be set aside for equipment to make new products and for expansion of things like refineiies and service stations to meet the public needs. 4 ants was left for the shareholdersâ€"whose investment made the company Hossible.

But, for many, the astronomical figures on the number of refugees (at least 15-million) who still exist in our “free” world transcends the imagination. The problem is too often shrugged off with “what can I, as an individual cit- izen, do about it ?” One concrete answer to this personal dilemma comes from Port Hope. a relatively small town on the shore of Lake On« lario. which has formed a com- munity committee for World Re- fugee Year. Taking the incorpor- ated name of their town as their cue. Port. Hope's aim is to renew the Hope of thousands by sug- gesting to every Canadian that he should “Take a Refugee with You". Every one of us can “Take a Refugee with Us" by exercising some personal sacrifice, and turning the saving over to World Refugee Year. ’We can all do thiS. most par- ticularly from April 24-30. 1960, which Mayor Ken Tomlin has proclaimed Austerity Week, as part of ’a national plan announced by the Canadian Federation of Mayors and Municipalities to help the refugees. ’ . April 24-30, you can “Take a Refugee with You" in innumer- able ways. It’s Monday. and you go into a restaurant for lunch or dinner. Take your refuzee with you â€" by setting aside the price of an extra meal. or even a glass of milk. Home & School The.
