Pass Creek school: good
things in small package

By TERRY ROGERS and KAY JOHNSON

There are four empty classrooms, one of them a
specially designed kindergarten room; the hallways echo
loudly as 32 feet run through the building to play outside;
and the large playground swallows up the 16 students, but
they wouldn't change one thing.

The students at Pass Creek elementary school describe
their school as “quiet and peaceful,” “having clean air,”
“free” and a place where “you can learn more because there
are fewer students.”

This energetic, enthusiastic and mature group of Grade
5 and 6 students gave up half of their lunch hour to brag
about their school. Their favorite aspect of the school was
loudly “the teacher!”

community will stay off the
job until their employer,
Weyerhaeuser Canada Ltd.,
promises to examine safety
problems and to forego dis.
ciplinary action against them,
their union leader says.

About 180 members of the
International Woodworkers
of America have been off the
job since June 5, when they
went on strike over an indus
trial accident.

Local president Bill Shu
maker said Weyerhaeuser
has so far refused to accept
the union's conditions, saying
it wants the right to dis.
cipline workers.

They went on to explain that by having a small school
population, “The whole school can go on field trips together.”
It is also “easier to decide on what to play and everyone can
play. No one has to wait their turn.”

The group agreed that they got to know each other
better and learned tolerance for each other because the two
grades must work so closely together. As one Grade 6
student stated, “All the books aren't taken out of the library

Teacher Jack Kinakin shares the students’ enthusiasm.
“When I began here last fall, I met with the parents and
students. I set out a ‘code of conduct’ and my policies within
the (School) Act. I also outlined my goals in order to deliver
an educationally sound program.

“In the first few weeks, we ironed out some problems
and, since then, everything has been great. This
environment gives me the independence and flexibility to
steer the students’ education. I can develop individual
programs. I have been able to instill a positive attitude in the
kids. They know why they are here.”

Indeed, the students do seem to have that positive
attitude and it is evident that they are learning the “4 Rs” —
reading, writing, arithmetic and responsibility.

Decisions are made as a group because, according to
Kinakin, “the underlying tone in the school is one of
democracy.” Ninety-five per cent of disciplinary problems
are eliminated because “the kids know what the
consequences will be and take pride in their school.”

The obviously dedicated enthusiastic teacher has
planned an extra-curricular activity each month this school
year. The students worked as a group in such activities as
the 50K (running) Club, and the Computer Club.

The Library Club taught each student how to circulate

They had a Cooking Club where groups of students
planned the menu (which is kept secret), brought in supplies,
cooked, and then served the entire class. The volleyball club
hosted a tournament with several other schools.

A Morning Mountain Ski Day saw many members of the

Several local artisans brought the students a broad

Tax credits
on dividends

By ROBERT McLEOD
‘The Canadian Press

Even in the wake of the tough federal budget,
owning shares in Canadian-controlled companies remains
a method to earn money at a lower tax rate.

That's because of > Re Pipe tax credit, which
ies have already
paid taxes on dividends bevy to stockholders.

Depending on total income, a shareholder may not
have to pay any tax on dividends received and may even
have a credit left over to apply on other income.

George Weinberger, a tax partner at Peat Marwick,
explains how the credit works. If you receive $100 in

coon H.L. Hunt. Each is re-
ported to be worth more than
$1 billion, the magazine said.

While some of the women
inherited their millions, those
listed control or manage their
own money, the magazine
said.

An article in Tuesday's
edition of the magazine says
Yoko Ono, widow of Beatle
John Lennon, managed their
$150 million empire during
his lifetime and continues to
do so.

Others include Brooke As-
tor, who has donated $130
million to charities in New
York City; Dorothy Rodgers,
widow of composer Richard
Rodgers, who inherited most
of his $100 million estate, and
Estee Lauder of the makeup
and skin care company, who
is said to be worth more than
$700 million.

Factory
jobs are

down

MONTREAL (CP) — The
decline in manufacturing jobs
in the United States and
Canada doesn’t mean North
America is becoming a con-
tinent of “hamburger ma.
kers,” says the U.S. commis.
sioner of labor statistics.

“There are a lot of fast.
food jobs,” Janet Norwood
admits. But, “I happen to
believe that the kinds of jobs
we're creating are at both
ends of the pay scale.”

Norwood said in an inter.
view that the economic struc.
ture is “pretty much the
same” in both Canada and the
United States, with the num.
ber of manufacturing jobs
dropping while productivity
increases.

“We're losing some jobs
but a lot of them are being
restructured,” said Norwood,
in Montreal to speak at the
fifth International Symposi.
um on Forecasting, a gather.
ing of,experts in various
fields who do mathematical

facturing firms have laid off
staff members, such as em
ployees who prepared pay.
cheques.

The work has been cont
racted out to service-sector
firms with the net result that
the jobs continue to exist in
another form, she said. The
new jobs are often non
unionized and pay less.

Although there have been
closures of major steel! mills
in the United States, she
said, new mills are opening
which are smaller and spec
ialized.

Not all manufacturing jobs
that have disappeared have
been as high paying as steel
workers’ jobs, she added,
citing the textile and clothing
seetors which have been
shrinking in both countries.

JOBS OPEN UP

While the number of
goods-producing jobs is drop
ping, Norwood said, new
ones have opened up in auto-
mobile and appliance plants,
in lumber and other areas re-
lated to construction:

The manufacturing of
drugs, computers, electronic
components and instruments
has been growing and should
continue to do so.

» you increase, or gross up, the amount by 50
per cent for tax purposes.

“To compensate for this, you are allowed to claim a
dend tax credit,” Wei ‘ger says. “This credit
reduces your federal tax payable and is equal to 22.66 per
cent of the grossed-up dividend.”

CUTS OTHER TAXES
In addition, since in all har orert Quebec,
1 tax is calculated pe of

federal tax, provincial tax is also reduced ‘by the dividend
tax credit.

In the case of Ontario, the net effect is to reduce
drastically any tax that might be due.

“If you take someone in a combined Ontario and
federal tax bracket of 34 per cent and your grossed-up
dividend is $150, your tax is $51 and the tax credit is $50,
so you wind up with your original $100 dividend costing
you $1 tax,” Weinberger says.

“Let's say you drop into a lower marginal tax
bracket, 28 per cent. On the $150 grossed-up dividend
you'd pay $42 in tax and you get a $50 credit. So you wind
up with additional credit to offset tax on other income.”

The above example assumes that investors have
already used up their tax-free limit of $1,000 allowed on
income from interest or dividends.

Dividend rates from stocks are often lower than
income from interest-bearing investments such as bonds,

but the tax credit i the
attractiveness of stocks.
INCOME SAME

“Because Canadian idends attract less tax than
interest, the yield on a share can be approximately
two-thirds of the yield on interest-bearing investment
and you can still receive the same amount of income after
tax,” Peat Marwick says in a booklet on tax planning it
issues to the public.

For example, a dividend rate of seven per cent is
equal to an interest rate of about 10.6 per cent. Likewise,
a dividend rate of 14 per cent is the equivalent of an
interest rate of about 21.23 per cent.

“What you find generally is the ratio of interest rates
to dividends is three-to-two,” Winberger says. “In other
words, a dividend of $2 is the equivalent after tax to $3 of
interest.

“Of course, the risk factor on the purchase of
common shares versus that on interest-bearing invest-
ments would have to be considered in comparing
investment opportunities.”

However, a recent survey by McLeod Young Weir
found that Canadian stocks as measured by the Toronto
Stock Exchange 300 index have out-performed every
other type of popular investment vehicle in the last 10
years.
