Income Tax changes

One of the forty-five amendments to the Income Tax Act to be introduced in the House of Commons this year, notes an exchange, will be of interest to parents of children born in December. The income tax department has had a change in the Act under consideration since an incomel tax appeal board judgment about two years ago pointed to some discrimination against the child born in December. l

As the law stands at present a child is qualified for family allowance in any month if the allowance is payable ”for that month or the immediately following month.” Under the income tax law the status of a child in December governs its status for the year, so that if a child's 16th birthday comes in December the taxpayer is entitled to only S150 deduction that year since it is still qualified fo1' the allowance. If it had been born in November or any other month than December the taxpayer could have claimed S400.

Under the amendment the qualified child will be defined, it is reported. as one for which the allowance might be payable "for the immediate following month." As a re- sult the December child is no longer eligible for income tax purposes on its 16th birthday and the parents can claim S400 deduction instead of S150.

It has been announced already-in the budget speech, that parents may claim ex- emptions for children over 21 at universi- ties. Later this was extended to cover children of any age taking full-time courses at institutions of learning. This exemption will apply to grandparents as well as par- ents if they are financing the higher educa- tion of a grandson or jzranddaughter.

Mayooles For coronation Maypoles are coming back to London as part of the Coronation festivities, and sites for two have already been chosen

owgen. After 23.ilXl fact this pmcul bnah down "for the muscle tinuea begin to deteriorate and the climbers strength, resistance to cold. and so on to weaken? He tends to lose the promptlngs of appe- tite. thirst and the relaxation of sleep.” The aim therefore is to "rush" the 6,000; feet remaining past the point of success- ful acclimitization. Col. Hunt estimates that three camps will be necessary beyond the 23.000-foot level. Since the weight men can carry over 25,000 feet is so small, "say, 20 pounds" the period of preparing the! camps will be long-likely many days. , The other major obstacle besides thej effects of altitude is the weather. A break; between winter gales and summer monsooni lasting a week or 10 days can occur about the middle of May. This is the break the expedition will try to exploit. But "it is equally possible that it may not come at all." The factors of height and weather set the problem: "The height slows and wears down the climber, the consequent need to provide him with shelter, warmth and food further spin out the period he requires to achieve his aim. The weather steps in to shorten the essential period he needs, or it may refuse to oblige at all." Col. Hunt lists three essentials for the success of his expedition. It will have to be able to seize the weather opportunity if it comes. Secondly, climbers, equipment and provisions must be ready to take ad- vantage of the whole of any fine period that may develop. ”We cannot assume that it will fall to our first or even to our second onslaught . . . It would be sad to report that we had tried for the top and exhausted our strength while the chance was still there to make another effort.” The third essential is to speed up the climb of the last 6,000 feet. On these three things the outcome of man's latest attempt to conquer Mount Everest will de- pend. '

One will be erected in Mayfair in the open space of Shepherd Market. It will be sur- rounded by colored booths. and the houses around the maypole, which were erected by Edward Shepherd over 200 years ago. are to be marked with plaques denoting the trades originally carried out on the premises.

The other maypolc will he put up in front of St. Mary-le-Strand near Somerset House. The pole, a Douglas fir, is now on its way from Vancouver. it is the Corona- tion gift of New Westminster to West- minster in London. The 45 foot maypole will stand on a raised platform and be surrounded by a decorated hoarding to protect it from the crowds.

A London correspondent recalls that therevused to be a maypole in the Strand once, but it was pulled down by the Puritans who considered it dangerous to the morals of youth. At the Restoration A new pole was set up, said to be 134 feet high.

Mount Everest Again

in a few weeks a British will attempt to reach the top of Mount Everest: in the Himalayas. the highest mountain peak in the world. All previous attempts by man to climb to the peak have failed. Thel knowledge and experience gained by the previous expeditions, how- ever, represent the chief hope of the 10 men now preparing to start. out. The lead- er of the British expedition is Col. John Hunt. Writing in London Calling, he states that the central problem in climb- ing Mount. Everest has been exposed by previous expeditions. What is this prob- lem?

Col. Hunt writes that "In "a narrow ense it lies in the final keep of the citadel --the last 1,000 feet. On at least four oc- casions individuals or parties have reached a height of over 28,000 feet on both the northern and southern flanks of the moun- tain." (The height of the mountain is 29,- 002 feet). "The rarefied air surrounding the higher part of Everest, or any other of the biggest peaks, obvioiuly makes movement increasingly difficult; lack of oxygen likewise slows down and blurs the mental process. Beyond a certain point of course life itself is no longer possible."

Up to about 23,000 feet, Col. Hunt adds, the effects of height can be gvercome by Icclgllllilmtlon-getting used to the 'lack of

That Big Warm smut;

I have been asked by a friend to write something about the fish- ing I have done in various places. There are two ma.in.reasons why this is not a difficult aulgnment:

(1) Like all otlhr followers of the sport. I like to bras a blraborut my experiences. and

(2) I have had opportunity to "cast 3 line" in places as far apart as Southern Florida and Northern Ontario, including quite an assort- ment. in between

It is difficult, though, to name the place when I have had the most. success for my efforts. for one simple reason that success is always relative. What proves satis- fying in one sense is sometimes a. disappointment i.n another. That is true of everything one does or s'tt.empt.s to do, and fishing is no exception. There have been times when a well-filled creel has brought little sense of achievement (it was filled so easily) and there halve been times when a day of great excitement and pleasure brought notthlng more tangible than mosquito bites to show for it.

I use the word ”fishing" in a strictly formal sense; "taking" would be it much more suitable way of eicpremlng it. -My companion and I tool: our lzmlt - one dozen. I think it was - in the first fifteen or twenty minutes, The rest of the time we spent in pulling in and throwing away: it was just. as easy as that. There was no such thing as try- ing one spot and then another. The fish were everywhere and they took the plug so readily that I could only conclude they were glad to get out of the warm water even if it meant. as it did, being transferred to the frying-pan. Not- wihhst.andlng its quiet. pacifist. ways, the Ocachobee bass is good eating with or without: the "grits" (hominy, to the uninitiated) which every good Southerner insists on having on his plate at all times. The first time I saw the stuff I

Dr. S. Hardy Campbell of Windsor, gOnt., who, in 1951, made the Arctic trip on the government ship C. D. Howe, placed two cigars, some matches and a note in a vine- gar bottle and droppedit overboard. He then was within 960 miles of the North Pole up in the Davis Strait between Baffin Island and Greenland. He wondered where the waves would carry it. Now he knows, as eighteen months later he received a let- ter from Neil MacDonald on the Isle of Baleshare in the -Hebrides. The bottle evi- dently was broken by the crash of the waves on the rocky Scottish coast but the note was there and part of it legible. The bottle had been carried, by the mysterious course of currents and waves, down from
