TO SERVE FOR A TERM OF TWO YEARS from 7:30 b’Clock ufitil 8:30 O’Clock in the evening for NOTICE NOMINATION FOR THE OFFICES OF MAYOR, AREA MUNICIPALITY OF THE TOWN OF VAUGHAN FOR THE YEAR 1970 to the municipal electors of the He said farmers are being “penalized” by the property tax system in which the education portion “probably averages 50 to 60 per cent of a farmer’s tax bill." “It’s getting so ridiculous." said Kent County Federation Mr. Huctwithsaid 50 per cent of the working farmers in the county have already committed themselves to withhold their education tax. “And I expect another 25 per cent will." "But the majority are fed up with property tax system." he said. “It doesn’t apply today . . . it’s archaic." Lambton County OFA Repre- sentative Howard Huctwith of Forest, said many of the older farmers have been selling some of their property and are not as affected by the rising tax rates as others. “Now it's up to two-thirds and it‘ll probably be three quarters pretty soon." He predicted "easily 70 per cent and probably more” would withhold education taxes when they are due in November. cation portion of his taxes was about one-third. “I expect quite a reasonable number, at least 50 per cent, will hold back. Our last meet- ing (OFA) indicated the pro- gram had quite a following." Mr. Maynard said some far- mers in Chatham Township have already held back educa- Mr. Wilker said one of the reasons the move isn’t gaining support might be that some farmers “take pride in saying their taxes are paid up.” County OFA Representative Elton Wilker of Hickson said most farmers feel the program is too strong a move and want to be very sure it's in the right direction. He said at a recent OFA county meeting most of the members voiced a cautious posi- tion. “They feel the system is unfair, but think there must be a better way of changing it.” "People I’ve known for years and never suspected would get involved are in favor of it," Mr. Bailey said. The only county of the seven surveyed where the withholding program isn’t gaining support is Oxford. Representative Ian Maynard of Chatham. “Last year my taxes were $1,859 and the education part was $1,300. It’s going to in- crease 10 per cent this year, too." He said the educatiBn portion of taxes averages about 60 per cent for farmers in the county. The situation in Huron Coun~ ty for farmers was called “ser- ious” by Mason Bailey, of Blyth, federation executive. “Most farmers in the area have had to enlarge their hold- ings to make a living . . . then their taxes will go up." he said. He said in his own case the education part of his taxes amounted to $600, or more than half of the total tax bill. tion taxes when they came due June 15. Alistair Littlejohn of Wallace- town, Elgin County Federation Executive. says. although the organization hasn’t held its county meeting yet, he expects “100 per cent" of its members to be behind the program. The withholding program is “catching on" in the county, he said. He expects a majority of farmers to support it. “There's no réljef in 'sight from the government," he said. “I don't want to withhold my taxes, I think it can be resolved by direct negotiation . . . but I‘m in favor of withholding taxes unless something is done.” HOOVER It’s in your interest to co‘n'le to Guaranty (613% per annum calculated on minimum monthly balance.)

Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end. Mrs. Morita looked quite tearful when we left for the airport the next day to catch our nght to Hokkaido. Despite this, it was a wonderful sendoff . . . I think everyone we knew in Osaka had come to say sayonara! The final nose count was in the vicinity of a dozen. It’s no wonder that 'I was glad when our flight was delayed half an hour or Inore owing to the bad weather fitis the typhoon season, rememberl). After all, we had the novel experience of having time to say all those last min- ute things that one usually thinks of after getting on the plane. I don’t suppose we truly realized what very good friends we had made in Osaka until the final promises to write and keep in touch with one another. And the terrific kindness of the Japanese people became apparent once more with the going away presents we received, including a large paper umbrella and a pair of geta or wooden Japanese shoes! One last item . . . naturally we invited them all to Canada! So I hope you will help our friends to feelas much at home in our country as we did in Japan. As for mama, the poor dear was exhausted from caring for her sick mother~in-law and was flaked out on a futon (sleeping mattress) in the next room. In fact, the whole situation was quite a reversal of the usual male and female roles in this country! Later, though, this favorite person joined us and was absolutely thrilled with the omiyage (present) we brought her of an ooeha (green tea) set. And then, in the middle of all the excitement and picture taking for which papa put on his yukata (summer kimono) (I think he wanted our families to remember him in something other, than his underwear!), the oldest son’s wife started to cry because she was so unhappy that we were leaving and might not return for many years! It was wonderfully touching, but I was glad when everyone brightened up at the suggestion that we go to the Bon-odori before saying our final sad goodbyes. This latter event is what papa calls “Japanese go go”! Actually, it is a folk dancing festival, many of which take place in Japan from August thirteenth to fifteenth. Tadaoka’s community park was full of people who, dressed in their yukatas, would join the circle of dancers whenever they felt particularly energetic. For those who feel inhibited, however, sukoshi (a little) rice wine does wonders. Indeed, the resulting “sake go go” certainly livens things up! By midnight everyone is grooving to the sounds of a large flat drum suspended between two poles and the songs provided by a man standing inside a brightly decorated wooden box built on stilts in the centre of the dancing throng. And if you are particularly talented and make up a. poem of your own, the singer will set it to music! All in all it can be great fun and I was sorry we had to leave early before things really started to swing, but the last train to Osaka was at 11:30 and it was a long way to our new home above the Morita’s wine shop. Yet surprises were awaiting us there too â€"- another celebration was already in progress when we arrived! Mrs. Morita’s sister and brother-in- law had arrived from Tokyo to see EXPO. They brought a friend with them and before long we were part of another family group. As we wined and dined once again, we had a fantastic opportunity to get to know the mother and father much better. There was only one problem -â€"â€" this time the party lasted until four o’clock in the morning! That will teach us to join in the festivities after midnight! And before we were through, the friend from Tokyo was stretched out on the tatami (straw mat) floor loudly snoring, totally oblivious to the laughter and conversation around him. He really had an amazing ability to concentrate on sleeping! Because Because Because (Continued from Page On September 28, television in Ontario changes dramat- icaliy.
