Sixteen years later, at the middle age of 81, Harris has photographs in a number of Canadian nature and land- scape books, and his first ‘solo effort has been published. Called a Basket of- Apples: Recollections. of Historic Nova Scotia, the warm, slim volume has a lively, infor- mative text by Halifax writer Harry Bruce. The importance of photog: raphy in Harris's life is evi- dent in the way he uses the space in his Montreal apart- ment.

Meanwhile, the short, stocky Crombie, clad in a yellow shirt, grey sweat pants and well-used runners, took his 21-year-old daughter Carrie and about a dozen others for.a 20-minute job along the Rideau Canal. AK . Taypayers patiently waiting for this year's delayed income ‘tax refunds were taking second looks at the Revenue Pocklington booth. “Tax forms completed in 20 seconds,” promised a vibrant blue and orange sign. It was a play on Peter Pocklington's major campaign platform — a flat income-tax rate of 20 per cent — as well as a unique way to encourage tax-deductible contribu- tions to his campaign. . Under the Canada Elections Act, the party’s national PC Canada Fund is entitled to issue income tax receipts for campaign donations, The deductions are worth up to a $550. on a $1,150 “contribution. was : “TINY, BUT ‘PERFECT’.

They were dime-sized blue and white buttons promoting the five-foot, five-inch candidate by simply. saying: Tiny Perfect Button. PAPER POWER Crombie and Joe Clark made sure they got the best newspaper coverage possible — they had their own tabloids for delegates. And amid the expected hype, the newspapers took not-so-subtle swipes at the other contenders. Crombie’s Daily Runner had an article on campaign spending that pointed out Crombie is the only candidate pledged to reveal where his funds came from and implied that the other candidates may have a reason for keeping their donations secret. . Clark's paper, called Clark The National Leader, took an obvious shot at John Crosbie, the Newfoundland MP, with an article on the need for a prime minister to be bilingual. CROSBIEFEATURED_ - Not to be outdone, the Crosbie campaign bought 500 copies of a recent MacLean’s magazine featuring a cover story on the former finance minister as The Tory to Watch. - The magazines, worth $1.25 each at the newsstand, Jogg draws delegates MICHAEL WILSON .. athletic approach were part of Crosbie convention kits handed out at the convention.

With Hees, the longest-sitting MP in the Tory caucus, at his side, Mulroney was drowned out every time he mentioned Diefenbaker’s name. “It's rather clever, isn't it?” said MP Sinclair Stevens, another Mulroney supporter, “linking Mulron- ey, Dief's winningness, especially in Quebec, and Dief- enbaker’s populist approach.” Foreigners get cheaper oil By TIM NAUMETZ for Alberta oil than Montreal barrels a day, more if condi- but correspondence between OTTAWA (CP) — The fed- refiners. eral government, | its energy The taxes, i. petroleum policy sh by eco- charge of $3.75 nomic recession, has allowed per barrel and a Canadian- exports of light crude oil at iation charge of $1.15 per lower prices than what east- barrel, are collected when ern Canadian refiners pay fot Canadian refiners buy oil the same oil, taxes included. from the Alberta Petroleum tions were right.

However, Ross Slezak, president of the union’s Local 1, said the pact leaves a “bad taste in our mouth” because he said the company had ad- mitted it could have given the 1,760 workers a higher wage increase. “They (the company) have come out of the recession smelling like roses," Slezak said in an interview from this north-coast B.C. community. “We feel they have the ability to pay. “The company's president has said that the company came out of the recession in better shape than when they went in’.’ Neither the union execu- tive nor the negotiating com- mittee had made any rec- ommendation to the union membership on whether to accept or reject the pact, he said. Slezak also predicted the union workers at Alcan's Quebec operations, who negotiate next month, will have a difficult time getting a reasonable wage increase be- cause of the B.C. settlement. The settlement gives workers a five-per-cent wage increase July 24 this year and another seven per cent July 24, 1984. The contract ex- pires June 7, 1985. Current base rate is $12.16 an hour. The union initially sought an eight-per-cent increase retroactive to April 24, 1983 with an additional 15 per cent in 1984. It also wanted an expiry date six weeks later than the company offer but Slezak said the $200 signing bonus compensates for the shorter contract term. The settlement came just Insuring for rainy days TORONTO (cP) — New as one-quarter of them have lected for travellers has helped lift ihe dampened spirits of ‘some - rained-on vacationers, but it has been a washout so far for the insurance company un- rainy weather, Fox said.

But Assistant Deputy Min- ister Herve Diguer said there has been no change in the policies of the department, although he has heard such complaints from the depart- ment’s private sector tax ad- visory committee. Prompted by inquiries from members, the Canadian Manufacturers Association recently established an ad hoc committee to consider the assessing practices of the Revenue Department, CMA taxation manager Eric Owen said. The department is becom- ing “keener” in resassessing ,& tax returns and is starting to question eevee accepted 4 committee will monitor com- plaints and it inquiries. ergy Minister Jean Chretien, show Dome was in asking for a reduction in the federal export charge. A reduction in the $5.20- per-barrel charge was neces- sary to allow Dome to sell its oil at prices that could com- pete with alternative crude supplies available to Maru- beni on the world spot mar kets, Dome said. The oil company argued that the export charge could total no more than $2, allow- ing a sale price to Marubeni of $26.70 U.S. per barrel at the port of Vancouver — the price that was approved. This is between $1.50 and $2 less than the current spot market prices posted for Saudi Arab- fan light crude. The energy board says all the offshore app includ- pany that has been a marker for the success or failure of the Canadianization aims of Ottawa’s 1980 nation- al energy program, was the first to get export approval in March. The energy board denies that Dome got a special deal, ed reductions in the export charge to make the sales com- petitive according to each in- dividual case. Dome, however, got the lowest approved price, with the others ranging up to $27.75 per barrel.

The collection division knows nothing about tax situations. “As long as the security is adequate and meaningful, the only thing the Revenue De- partment has to lose (by not collecting immediately) is cash flow.” Many people feel that dur- ing a recession the Revenue Department should be more lenient, but the opposite seems to be the case, Nathan- son said. pays $50 to each insured | pers son for a rainy day, and the trip's full cost if the insured travellers endure three or more rainy days. Fox said he is expecting a flood of claims from people returning from Britain, » where rain has been a reg- ular fact of life this spring. Arainy day is defined as a day during which at least three millimetres of rain fall each hour for three conse- cutive hours between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. There are no restrictions on destinations that can be covered, but the higher the probability of rain, the higher the premiums, which cost up to four per cent of travel costs. For example, insurance for a 14-day, $800 vacation to Florida for four people costs $16 a person in December and $132 in June. 2 A rainy day on a cruise comes under the rainy-day definition only if the ship is in port. A rainy day during a bus tour counts only if the bus is at a scheduled stop. Minimum premiums run up to $2 a day for a trip of more than 30 days. Fox said claims under the policy have cost the insurer as much as 125 per cent of the amount received in premiums. What worries him, he said, is the dramatic changes in weather patterns in the past few years, which put long- term probability statistics under a cloud. after the union had asked ar- bitrator Richard Longpre to book out of the dispute, which would have cleared the way for a strike. The last contract expired April 24, 1983. Slezak said the company, while admitting it had not been hurt by the recession, used the argument that the rest of B.C.’s economy in- cluding the forest industry was suffering from the re- cession. An Alcan’spokesman from the company’s head office in Montreal said the settlement will cost the company about $10.5 million over the term of the contract. Winning Express tickets.
