Things you should know about... ONTARIO HEALTH INSURANCE COMMISSION 2195 Yonge Street, Toronto 295, Ont. I feel Mr. McLintock’s decision is most benefic- ial for York School Region. It is to be hoped with such a band under the direction of Mr. Burton, and a choir such as Pleasantville School can provide, there will be more Sounds . . . of Music . . . in the near future. Ellis McLintock, who still has his own orchestra (he played at the Palais Royal when mother and dad were younger), was the musical director of the con- cert band at the Canadian Pavilion for Expo ’67. He was first trumpet for nine years with the Toronto Symphony Orchestra. and played first trumpet for the CBC Symphony Orchestra for eleven years. Ellis McLintock began teaching at Thornlea in September of this year. “I have had a teacher’s certificate since ’39”, he told me, “and finally decided I wanted a permanent place to hang my hat”. A Happy New Year to all our readers. May 1972 see Peace in our World of today. We thought it was outstanding to have a con- ductor of Ellis McLintock’s reputation present and during intermission we asked him when he became a teacher at Thornlea. During the evening Blair Hurren presented Mr. McClintock with a gift and Mrs. Elizabeth Harwood, who played the piano for the group was also remem- berqu by the band and choir. (Continued from Page 2) clapping to the lively melody. In the “Themes from the Nutcracker Suite”, where any descrepancies of rhythm would detract from the lovely music of Tchiakowsky, the band played with a flow of feeling whichiwias most gratifying. Mark and Miles Crawford from Richmond Hill High School joined the band in its rendition of “It Came Upon The Midnight Clear” and the vocal solo by Mark, accompanying himself on the guitar, was nicely done. During this number the flute quartet and woodwind ensemble were excellent. A special salute to the young girl on the drums. Her job was done with great care and right on the beat. In The Spotlight NEW IDENTIFICATION CARDS IMPORTANT Note: If you remit your premiums on a direct basis. details on Premium Assistance will be mailed with your next Premium Notice. Residents enrolled in groups will be informed through their groups. Taxable income is the amount on which a person pays income taxes, after subtracting from his total income all exemptions and other deductions to which he is entitled. (After I - year Residence in Ontario) Effective with the benefit month of April, 1972, individuals and‘ families with no taxable income for the year 1972 are eligible, on application, for 1 00% Ontario Government prem- ium assistance. Individuals with less than $1,000 taxable income in 1972, and families with total taxable income of under $2,000 are eligible for 50% premium assistance. This will reduce the monthly premiums to $5.50 for such individuals (instead of $11.00) and to $11.00 for an eligible family (instead of $22.00). PREMIUM ASSISTANCE So be it. People want to use studs â€" but the studs rough up the roads. Then why doesn’t the province levy a sufficient tax on the sale of studded tires -â€" or on the drivers of studded tire vehicles â€" to defray the cost of repairing road damage? That way, the drivers could have their studs, and the tax- payers wouldn‘t have to foot the bill. Naturally, we wouldâ€" n‘t charge visitors from out-of- province â€" they’re only casual users of our highways, anyway. And think of the public rela- tions â€" now our friendsfrom adjoining states and provinces won't automatically become criminals as soon as they drive across the border with their (in their area) legal studs.
