But the Castlegar squad- ron, holding its tenth anniver- sary this year, will be offering the Nelson course this fall, and will be taking names at the anniversary and gradua- tion banquet May 8 at the Hi Arrow Arms.

RUBBER STAMPS CASTLEGAR NEWS Phone 365-7266 191 Columbia Ave. Statistics show about one million registered boaters in Canada with only 10,000 taking power squadron courses, hence the drive to increase member- ship.

Penalfies Severe A collection agency was prosecuted and sentenced un- der the Income Tax_Act for. failing to report all its commis- sions over a three-year period. Taxes-in-arrears came to $31,- 566 and in addition, the owner was fined $11,000 or six months in jail. A janitor service diverted company income into personal accounts and did not record the transfer. Taxes of $16,232 were payable plus a fine of $16,075 or seven months in jail. These are two examples published by Revenue Canada, Taxation, of tax offenders who have been prosecuted and sentenced ‘under the Income Tax Act during the period Jan. 2, 1975 to March 31, 1975.

No injur- ies are reported. for Tax Offenses taxpayers, their only contact occurs when filling oul their ‘personal return. At the bottom of their - personal tax return a line states, “It isa serious offence to make a false return.” Most tax- payers realize they could be subject to a penalty if they do not file their tax return by midnight, April 30. This is. printed as well on each individ- ual's tax return. Penalties range from a- mounts of $25 or less to sub- stantial amounts which can include imprisonment, While prison terms were not manda- tory, in the two examples cited above, more serious offenses could result in both fines and imprisonment, It should be noted that the penalty provisions apply not only to the taxpayer submitting the return but also to third parties who aid in their prepar- ation either for a fee or as part of their job responsibility. The Canadian income tax system is predicated on the principle of honest self-assess- ment, The success of the system is reflected in the relatively low administrative costs associated with the De- partment of National Revenue which administers the Income Tax Act.

The financial status of the Day Care Centre and the Little People’s Nursery has now become desperate. Many attempts have been made to reverse this trend, but there has been little effect. The board of directors now find that the services provided by the two centres are creating a deficit that fluctuates be- tween $800 and $1,100 per month. To maintain the cen- tres, the rates would have to be increased to impossible levels and more children would have to be enrolled, ‘ A special planning commit- tee has been struck to explore alternatives open to the soci- ety. One possibility that is being considered is an amalga- mation of the Day Care Centre and the nursery—actually, the provision of a new program designed for children two to four years old (inclusive). However, it is possible that such a program may not be: feasible and it may be that by spring the society will be forced to suspend all services and ~ liquidate its real holdings, Everything within the board's power is being done to forestall this eventuality, but it is felt that itis only fair that the parents using the present ser- vices and the community as a whole be made aware of the extent of the problem. ‘The board members would Golden Age Square Dance Club Formed A group of the Castlegar Senior Citizens’ Associa- tion members have formed a Square Dance Club.
