it received a Canada Works grant for 6 months, but this grant
only covers the salaries of the-staff and very little beyond this.
Considering how little money is in the bank account
the
ANNEX has done well. As a drop-in centre the ANNEX has had
both young and old coming by; new Japanese Canadians have been
assisted through legal aid counselling and in-English language
classes; and, of course, there are plenty of magazines, manga,
and books around to browse through.

' WASHINGTON. — Sen. S.I.
- Hayakawa, R-tCaiif.s the langua­
ge expert and author of books
on semantics, has made his ta
lent pay during his first year
in Congress.
He earned $21,979.48 giving
speeches and writing articles.’
Sen. Alan Cranston, D-Calif.,
who has been in the Senate nine
years and is its second-ranking
Democratic leader, earned . $15,950 last year from public appear
rances and articles. This
was
$300 'more than he-got in 1976.
Doth senators made
enough

last year to .rank them high am­
ong their 98 colleagues for socalled honoraria income.
Such earnings are considered
personal income and are taxable.
The Senate has set a $25,000 li­
mit ■ on honoraria income.
That limit drops to $8625 in

Hayakawa wiho joined
senators in protesting’ the earning's ceiling during Senate deba-

income for years by giving lee

The' Canadian-born educator
has an association with the Ha­
rry Walker Agency in New York
to schedule his many appearan­
ces. Four of Hayakawa’s
1977
speeches,, each paying a fee of
$2000, were obtained for 'him
by the Walker Agency, which
collected a 33 per cent fee from
the 72-year old solon.

basis.’ It should be flexible as
has been in the past. It is a
good means to function as a sa­

ciety,” Sakurai said.
