"Sure, and it's a phoine snap ye have here, St. Peter, holding down this soft job century after century, never needing to worry about inflation, strikes, or change of administration." "Ah, but you must bear in mind, Patrick and Michael," rejoined St. Peter, "That in Paradise, a million years are but a moment, and a million dollars are but a cent." "Then, will you loan us each a cent?" asked the paid. "Certainly," assented St. Peter, "in a minute!"

Daily 8 a.m. • 5 .30 p.m. including Sat.. Friday 11119 p m. By JACK RIDDELL MPP Huron-Middlesex In his budget statement last April, the Provincial Treasurer expressed the opinion that the economy was strong and ex- panding and we must rely on "private sector expansion to generate growth and em- ployment." He also said he was providing stronger incentives to Ontario's small business com- panies. However, the Treasurer did little more than eliminate some of the burdensome paperwork involved in the Government's tax credit scheme, The number of companies to benefit under the new provisions increased to 50,000 from 20,000 but in reducing the tax rate from 12 per cent to 9 per cent the Treasurer did not provide one extra penny to small businessmen in Ontario. He himself admitted that the $30 million cost of the reduced tax rate was identical to the cost of the tax credit scheme which the tax reduction replaced. The net result was that a larger number of businesses had to divide the same size pie into smaller pieces. The United States is the home base for many multinational conglomerate industrial and financial giants. However, in 1;165 the U.S. Congress amended the Small Business Act, saying that "the essence of the American economic system of private enterprise is free competition. Only through full and free competition can free markets, free entry into business, and opportunities for the expression and growth of personal initiative and individual judgement be assured. The preservation and expansion of such competition is basic not only to the economic well-being but to the security of this nation. Such security and well-being cannot be realized unless the actual and potential capacity of small business is encouraged and developed. Small business is flexible and able to adapt quickly to changes in the market. It possesses great potential for technological in- novation, is labour-intensive and can create new jobs much more cheaply than capital-intensive industries. A study of small and medium-sized businesses recently released by the European Economic Community, points to a small firms sector as the means of reducing alienation and social tensions. The study states that: "Since small and medium-sized un- dertakings are so important for job stability and the maintenance of industrial peace, all social legislation should be geared towards maintaining in- dependent businesses." Liberal Leader Stuart Smith has said often that we must support the small businessman, because the small business sector represents the important values of our society the real place where free enterprise works to the benefit of all. Small businesses today need access to management expertise, to cheap and efficient ways of handling data and bookkeeping, and to information about the capital markets. They require increased access to guaranteed bank loans, a reduction in government paperwork, and a shift in tax relief far labour-intensive businesses, Dr. Smith believes that "our concepts of job training and retraining need expanding. We put people into expensive capital- intensive vocational schools and community colleges when small businesses are crying out for people whom they would gladly train. We should be considering adapting the apprenticeship system, with the government contributing to the wage that the trainee is earning while he or she learns the job. This would be a way of helping small businesses which currently find labour costs their greatest problem." Members frequently receive enquiries about small business opportunities, and financing of small businesses. These enquiries come from people who wish to establish their own business, or from people who plan to expand their present enterprise. We usually put them in touch with the Provincial or Federal Agency which can be of most assistance, Some of these sources of financing and assistance are as follows: The Ontario, the Eastern Ontario and the Northern Ontario Development Corporations, located on the 4th Floor of the Mowat Block at Queen's Park. These corporations have regional offices in London, Orillia, Ottawa, Kingston, Thunder Bay, Timmins and Sudbury, The Development Corporations and the Federal Business Development Bank offer term loans to new and existing businesses in Canada which are unable to obtain the required financing from other lenders on reasonable terms and conditions. Counselling Assistance to Small Enterprises (CASE) is also available. The Department of Industry, Trade and Commerce of 112 Kent Street, Ottawa, also offers various financial and advisory programs in the areas of research and development, in- dustrial productivity, marketing and management. Also the Department of Finance, Place Bell Canada, Ottawa, offers loans under the Small Business Loans Act; Farm and Fisheries Improvement. Loans. TheDepartment of Man- power and Immigration offers assistance under the Adult Occupational Training Program. Look! POT -BELLY STOVE All cast iron pot belly stove, 36" high.
