Students
can study
in Brazil,
Argentina

INTERCULTURE CANADA, an
international student exchange
organization, is currently accepting
applications from students across
the country.

This not-for-profit, charitable
organization is organizing year-
long placements for students, aged
15 to 18, in numerous countries,
including Australia, Argentina,
Brazil and Japan.

Departure for these destinations
will take place between January
and March of 1990. Some semester
placements are also available.

During the experience abroad,
participants live with a carefully
selected volunteer host family
while studying in a local high
school. The result is total immer-
sion into a new culture, language
and lifestyle.

Denise Otis, coordinator for In-
terculture Canada’s Sending Pro-
gram, marvels at the results of
such an exchange. ‘‘At the end of
each cycle,’’ she explains, ‘‘we see
our students come home with such
a wealth of knowledge, new skills
and first-hand experiences. I just
wish all students were aware of the
opportunity to study abroad.’’

Participstion fees are com-
parable to the amoust normally
spent on an adolescent over an
Il-month period. Financial
assistance is available.

Interculture Canada is a member
of AFS [Intercultural Programs,
the world’s largest international
high school exchange network, es-
tablished in 1947 and currently
operating in 66 countries.

Severance pay
rollovers continue

From page 38

this pay after this year, in which
case J should probably retire this
fall??? — A.C.

No, severance pay rollovers will
continue. But your other income
during the year could mean you
will -- or won’t — have to pay the
Alternative Minimum Tax, so
make the calculations before you
choose your retirement date.

“‘My father died in England this
year and I will inherit $20,000. My
husband and I received $24,000 in
pensions and have $57,000 in sav-
ings. We want to put money into
RRSPs to save tax, buy a car and
give some money to our three
daughters. Are we missing any-
thing in this plan?’’ — P.M.

Because you are in the lowest tax
bracket, review the RRSP strategy
to make sure you won’t be in a
higher tax bracket when the money
comes out. Otherwise, it sounds
like a good plan.
