“FILE NOW, PAY LAT.

rT" may not be the ideal way to
ca but it's definitely better
than not filing at all.

If you're going to have to
pay tax on the income you
earned last year, make sure you
file your return by the April 30
deadline, even if you won't be
able to pay the tax bill.

And to avoid computer
harassment which could result
in the tax man’s reaching into
your pay packet or bank
account, also have'a chat with
the local tax office about how
and when you might be able to
pay the tax you owe.

Here are your alterna-
lives; .

ONE. You file your return
by April 30 and either send no
money or make only a partial
payment of the tax owing.

You'll have to pay eight
per cent interest (up from six
per cent) on what you owe,
calculated from May 1.

Example: You owe $600
tax but don't pay it until Nov. 1.
Eight per cent interest on $500
for six months is $20.

So your extra cost for filing
on time but paying late is $20.

Provided you made an
arrangement with the tax office
about the late payment, there
shouldn't be any complications,

TWO. You figure that be-
cause you can't pay the tax you
owe, you won't bother filing a
return until you do have the
money.

So, using the previous
example, you wait until Nov. 1
to file your return and pay the
$500.

But now you have to pay a
late filing ‘penalty of five per
cent of the taxes owing, which
is $12.50, and you could also be
hit with a penalty of 50 per cent
of the tax owing for failure to
file a tax return.

As well, of course, you
must still pay the $20 interest
on the back taxes,

So your extra cost for both
filing and paying late is a mini-
mum of $32.50 ($20 interest
plus $12.50 late filing penalty
—and it-could go as high as
$282.50 if the 50-per-cent fail-

Prepares For
Busy Spring

A busy spring schedule
was outlined for the Slocan

-Women's Institute when 27
members and three guests an-

swered roll call at the regular
monthly meeting held recently.

Members voted to sponsor
the elementary school in its
Walk-a-Thon to raise monies for
sports equipment; to buy a one-
eighth page of advertising in
the high school annual to help
the student council meet ex-
penses; and to support the
school flea market on May 13th
by having a bake sale with pro-
ceeds to go to the school travel
fund.

It was also decided that
W.I. will canvass for the Cancer
Society in Slocan this year.

It was agreed that the
secretary should inquire how
W.L. could best help the Slocan
4-H Club with its achievement
day and to donate accordingly.

Monies for the support of

‘the institute's foster child in

Haiti will be sent in for another
year.
The cookbook committee
reported the completion of the
Slocan W.I. Cookbook and had
some on hand to be sold.

+ Name tags for each mem-
ber were also ready and were
sold after the meeting.

. Plans for the Spring Fash-
ion Show to be given by Dee's
Ladies Apparel of Nelson in
conjunction with a W.I. Tea and
Bake Sale were completed. The
show was held Monday after-
noon in the Silvery Slocan
Social Centre.

Further plans for the Dis-
trict Spring Conference to be
held in Slocan on May 3 were
discussed at length.

who in the area
of cloning says David Rorvik
“has tripped over his shoelaces”
in attempting to paint a plaus-
ible scientific scenario of how
the feat could be accomplished,

Raymond Reeves, a bio-
chemist at the University of
British Columbia, who partici-
pated in historic cloning ex-
periments in the early 1970s,
was commenting last week on
an advance copy of a book by
Rorvik about the alleged*clon-
ing.of a human being.

Reeves said: “I can now
say it is a hoax scientifically, as
opposed to I just feel it is a
hoax."

He said Rorvik makes

numerous minor errors in inter-
preting the results of scientists
who have worked on parts of
the cloning problem, and‘ two
major blunders when he de-
scribes how genetic materia!
from Max, the pseudonym—
for a multimillionaire who is
said to have commissioned the
cloning project is introduced
into a human egg cell.

The cloning process pro-

duces a genetic duplicate froma .

living organism.
Cloning of a human is,

. # number of

Rees intermediate steps re-
main to be worked out and

then, if scientists and society
want it, it can be done,

“But it won't happen the
way Rorvik describes,” he said.

In the book “In His Image,”
Rorvik describes how Darwin,
the scientist Max pays to
provide him with a cloned son,
uses a chemical to make eggs
expel thé nucleus containing
the mother's genes.

Darwin uses a centrifuge
to break the nuclei free and
then mixes the gene-less eggs
with nuclei from Max’ cells,
which were obtained by a
similar procedure.

The presence of a certain ‘|

virus causes the eggs to fuse
with Max's nuclei. i

One of these combinations,
containing a complete set of
Max's genes, matures, multi-
plies and is implanted in the
womb of Sparrow, a pretty
woman chosen by Max to bear
his clone,

One flaw in ail this is that

the chance of a single Max- +

nucleus fusing with a single
gene-less egg is impossibly
small, said Reeves, The viruses
are indiscriminate and in gener-
al will cause many Max-nuclei
to fuse with each egg, and will
even cause the eggs to fuse
with each other.

just don't have the funds,

pay In ;

“The important thing is to
talk to an individual to set
something up before you file, so
you don’t have to deal with any
computer unpleasantness,”

You might think ‘that by
not filing a return the tax
department won't know that
you owe taxes, and so won't
start sending out nasty col-
lection notices.

Invariably, whoever has
been paying you has also been
notifying the tax department,
so you won't be left long in
peace.

What's more, by not filing,
you're more likely to attract the
penalty of 50 per cont of tax
owing. *

ACCORDING TO REVE-
nue Minister Joseph Guay, the
‘tax department is cracking
down on people who try‘ to
evade payment of income tax
by not filing a return.

In the six months ended
last Sept. 30, 219 taxpayers
were penalized more than half a
million dollars for failing to file
their tax returns on time,

Not All Campers Paid

Honor System Costly

Grand Forks city council's
decision to implement the “hon-
or system” for collecting fees
from campers at city park last
summer proved to be a costly
one,

Up to 1976, the policy had
been that campers had. to pay
their overnight fees in person
at city hall, and the campsite
was patrolled daily by city staff
to’ ensure that only those
campers who had paid their

~ fees were using the facilities at

the park.

But last year council went
along with a proposal to imple-
ment the “honor system" and
installed a collection box where
campers were asked to volun-
tarily deposit their fees and
registration forms, which were
later collected by city per-
sonne),

The temptation to use the
campsite without paying ap-
parently proved too great for
some ‘of the visitors who used
the facilities last year. Reve-
nues to the city from camper's
fees plummeted from $3,418 in
1978 to just $787 last year.

In view of this, council is
not expected the retain the
collection box again this coming
summer but, as yet, there are

no confirmed plans for imple-

Editor, Castlegar News:

I wish to protest the recent

the mayor by Castlegar city

council. It is well in excess of |

the AIB guidelines and in my
opinion it is an abuse of
council's right to set it's own
wages.

Former elected mayors of
our city were willing to serve in
that office as a public service,
not with the idea that it was full
time employment.

“mended this give away is the

whole year by the same council
who gave the mayor this
outsized raise.

The suggestion in the
Castlegar News report by
Alderman Rust that the mayor
did not know of this increase is
unbelievable. The mayor is a
