So have three Canadian women who challenged the tax system, among them Margaret Thompson of Newmarket who earned $30,000 in 1990 in her job as law book editor. She argued that, after paying tax on the $6,240 she received from support payments, she had little left to raise her two sons. "What the government has to realize is child support is for the care of chil- dren and not extra income for added pleasures in the home," it stresses in its lit- erature. "A child support payment is given to help reimburse the custodial par- ent some of her/his expenses for the caring of the child. It is the moral obliga- tion of both parents to provide for the children, whether they are together or For appeal packages of $5 each, write S.C.O.P.E., #6 - 2400 Dundas St W., Suite #243, Mississauga, Ont. Mk 2R8 or call 338-0280 evenings. Most fathers are apparently able to pay. According to Statistics Canada, the per-capita income of those (all men) who paid support in 1988 was $25,800 . Those who received it was $10,500.The average support payments single mothers received was $383 a month. In that year, single mothers had an average income of $25,700. Their unmarried ex-mates had an income of $37,700 and their remarried former hus- bands who paid support had an average family income of $65,200. But S.C.O.P.E. maintains that mothers receiving regular payments are penalized in another way in that they are often boosted into another tax catego- ry and end up paying more taxes than ever, thus decreasing the amount of money they have to raise their children. To Pacione-Nowotny, the increased number of working mothers is begin- ning to have antffect. Veioes are being raised and something is being done. "Single working mothers have had enough," she said. 'ihey are seeing an impact of this tax legislation where they're having to pay taxes while watching their ex-husbands getting away with murder." In March of last year, the government introduced the Support Deduction Order program to allow support payments to be automatically deducted from the support payor's wages. Of all these, 60% are remitting on a regular basis. The main reasons for the rest not doing so are put down to no income source or the inability to find the payer. Policy must be changed says woman for children. But this proposal was pushed aside. . "The issue has never been taken seriously," noted Pacione-Nowomy. "Of all the groups, SCOPE. is the one that has made this a serious issue." 9%? $333M M,lk?,iy ism?” a; _il' m tii", JUST IN TIME FOR 4 2iifs i) "i- A l tr, i'i(i' b \ 'l "ss, , rd liilf, tty,', 'iiri"irp "sccc" 's a '0 April 7, 1993 .

Around 10:30 p.m. Tuesday, March 16th, a lone male entered the Sunoco gas station on Sherwood Heights Drive near the QEW and Winston Churchill Blvd. The video tape'was enhanced in order to obtain a clearly visible photo of the suspect. Police have had the tape for sev- eral weeks, but held back on releas- ing it because they were questioning a potential suspect. That lead fell through, however, and the video, as well as still pictures taken from it, were released to the media Monday.

(416) 842-2252 F areshqre food drive starts today "We're one of the few businesses which don't want to expand," said Watson, while showing a visitor around the food bank's warehouse Compare that total with the 887 families and individuals who benefit- ed from the food bank in 1989 and a startling trend starts to develop. Last year, the amount of food col- lected represented about one-quarter of the 102,000 kg (224,000 lb.) the food bank distributed to a total of 4,300 families and individuals. Over the six days, the food bank hopes to exceed last year's total of 27,000 kg (60,000 lb.) of food which was stocked in its warehouse and dis- tributed to its "clientele" throughout the year. Christmas and Easter stand out as the two days of the year when people can get a real sense of community by doing something to help those less fortunate. The Fareshare Food Bank on Speers Road is hoping to capitalize on that "giving" feeling with its annual Easter food drive April 7th to April 12th.

The organization, which relies on donations from individuals and com- panies, is also asking for volunteers to help collect and stack the food. This year's food donations will go along way to feeding about 400 fami- lies monthly, said Laura Watson, a volunteer member of the food bank's board of directors.

But that role has changed over the last few years. identification card which they must present on their monthly visits for food. Clients' personal information is entered on the food bank's computer. On each visit, the client's informa~ tion is taken to the distribution centre where the order is filled. The food bank relies on between 35 and 40 volunteers to man the distribution centre and to drop off and pick up food.The food bank, which is open three days a week, is run by an eight-member board of directors. Donations can be dropped off at any fire station, supermarket food drop or at the Fareshare food bank, A typical order consists of canned vegetables, powdered and canned soup, Kraft dinner, spaghetti sauce, pasta, coffee or tea, peanut butter and jam, beans, sugar, juice, canned stew, canned meat or fish, canned fruit, rice, hot or cold cereal, hesh fruit and veg- enables.
