OOPS!

Have you ever had one of those years?
The Mad Hatter seems to be having
one...at least when it comes to printing
articles or information on the Douglas
College Foundation. In fact, if the
Foundation were to receive a dollar for
every error, typo or misspelling that
has occurred, it wouldn't have to raise
$50,000.

Two weeks ago, the Mad Hatter mis-
spelled the Foundation campaign co-
chairs’ names. Last week, we spelt
them correctly in a cutline under their
picture, unfortunately we transposed
their names. Correct spellings of
names areattached to the right person
above. A tip of the hat and an apology
to them.

And while we're on the subject
of’Building Success” and the work of
the Foundation, Mae Burrows must
have had a heart attack after reading
last week's Mad Hatter. The Founda-
tion did give her a grant for producing
the rock video, but it wasn't for $4500,
it was for $500.

 

 

MONEY ** MONEY

Don't forget your R.R.S.P. Current
rules are as follows.

If you are a member of the college pen-
sion plan, there is no change for the
1986 tax year...the maximum is $3,500
minus contributions to the college
pension plan.

If you are not a member of the plan, the
rule is 20% of earned income to a
maximum of $7,500 in both 1986 and
1987. Until this tax year, the maximum
has been $5,500.

Major changes will occur for the 1988
tax year, leading to a maximum of
$15,500 by 1991, in both in-
stances...stay tuned.

Proposed legislation allows for a
seven-year carry-forward _ period,
allowing you to contribute later, if un-
_able to do so during any one tax year.
