You can even avoid paying taxes on the interest either through a registered education savings plan or by depositing family allowance cheques into a trust account. , The accrued interest will be taxable in the child's hands when it is paid out of the trust, but most students have little income and enough deductions to pay little or no income tax. _ The most popular registered plans — the Canadian Scholarship Trust and the University Scholarships of Canada —- are run by non-profit foundations that pool subscribers’ money to get the highest possible low-risk yields, Dominion Securities Inc. has a self-directed registered education savings plan, which is more flexible than the pooled funds but has user fees. START EARLY Children must be enrolled in the pooled programs before they reach age 10, but the sooner you start, the lower the premiums. Parents pay a monthly or annual premium until the child reaches age 18. Then the principal, or sum of payments made, is repaid to the parent. As well, the university student gets annual payouts. While the i are profit, their work on commission and play on parents’ single-minded ambition that their children will surely go to university. However, parents who enrol their children in such plans are taking a big risk. If your child decides she’d rather sing in a rock and roll band or go into business for herself than attend school, you get no interest on your years of savings. While the principal is repaid when the child reaches age 18, she must attend a post-secondary school for at least two years to collect any interest, and must continue for four years straight to get full payment. the history of photography.

Board Mr. Howe resigned as a director WV ANCOUVER (OP) — Po- lice roadside blitzes for drunk drivers are as seasonal as rum and eggnog. But British Columbia faces another problem. With the number of alcohol-related ac- cidents during the spring al- most double those during winter months, spotchecks are being set up once again. From April 13 to May 4, police expect to stop 200,000- 900,000 vehicles as part of CounterAttack, the provin- cial program to combat drink- ing and driving. ‘The program is the first in Canada, says Ron Boyle of the Attorney General's Min- istry. Boyle says other provinces have anti-drinking programs and occasional police checks, but nothing as “focused and comprehensive” as in this province. Bill Mercer, Counter- Attack’s research director, says spring spotchecks have been conducted in British Columbia since 1984: What's new this year is the ac- companying « publicity: and community involvement. About $150,000 will be spent on this year’s spring campaign. “This is the first time we've had the resources to go into virtually every com- munity in B.C.,” Mercer says. Scare tacties such as hor- rifying photographs of muti- lated bodies are not used in this CounterAttack cam- paign. Mercer says frighten- ing or threatening people does not help. Vancouver's Chinese com- munity heard CounterAttack 10,000-foot jump, which in- cluded a 40-second free fall. Fonyo and his instructor landed using a single over- sized parachute. “Now that is what I call fun,” he said. “I've got to do that again.” He admitted to being “a bit nervous and scared” before the jump, which took place in sunny skies, but said he was determined to carry it out to raise public awareness about his three-month charity run through Britain. The run ends next week in London. “Instead of running and on Chi lang! age radio and television for the first time this year. Rella Li, who works for CounterAttack, in China- town, says committee mem- bers recently handed out more than 1,000 packages in the district. The small bags included lapel buttons, bal- joons and information pam- phlets printed in both Eng- lish and Chinese. The message is simple — don’t drink and drive. 12 miles a day, I'd love to do this sort of thing every day for charity,” Fonyo said. The jump, which attracted local and national media at- tention, was arranged ‘by Fliteline, a parachute club that regularly conducts fund- raising jumps on behalf of the British Cancer Research Campaign. « “He was scared but confi- dent,” instructor Ray Ellis said after the jump.

You can reduce your child's risk of injury by ensuring a safe environment. The federal CL passed stringent new safety standards for cribs last fall. Make sure you select a crib that meets all safety standards, and keep it in good condition. Remember that children’s sleepwear and clothing can bum easily and that your child should not play near fireplaces, stoves or heaters. Polo-style pyjamas are safer than loose fitting nightgowns. Provide close supervision if your child uses a walker, especially near stoves and electric cords, and ensure that stairways are closed off.
