Honored by Henders�n Lumber On Saturday evening Oct. 26, the employees of Henderson Lumber along with their partners gath- ered for dinner at the Fireside Cafe, south of Wingham, to honor Austin Loree a long-time employee at the lumber yard. It was in the sum- mer of 1965 that Austin joined the staff of Jirn Farmers don't want a free ride groin page 1 Farrell, said the return tdoesn't usually come until six weeks after the' new year and for farmers who pay quarterly taxes, it could cause problems as they're waiting' a longer time for their money. Farrell said farmers aren't asking for a.free ride. They are willing to pay their share of educa- tion, and social service taxes but only on the property in which they reside. That parcel of property includes all buildings, the home and one acre of land. The rest of the acreage is consid- ered productive farm land which, farmers feel,' should not be taxed to the same degree. "1 think we should be treated like any other res- ident that pays taxes. Farm land doesn't need the services that the com- munity needs. It's' not that we want to get out of paying our share." Farrell said the process , taken to allow the rebate program must be "extremely expensive." He said converting .the program to a- tax system would save money. Proposed in the OFA's five -point, plan is 'a tax system which would remove "all of the people services such' as welfare and education" from farm land. It .also proposes assessing agriculture property according to its productive use as farm land, creating a new mill rate for farm land and out buildings set at a value of 25 per cent of the resi ` dential rate and enacting a long-term commitment to compensate. municipal- ities that experience sig- nificant revenue short- falls as a result of farm tax reform. Farrell said reforming the tax system is a big issue right now for. farm- ers and the federation. "1 have no idea how it's all going to shake out." • and Donald Henderson, Jimmy Mathers, Oscar Hodgins and Jean Jardine. Due to health prob- lems,' Austin retired in 199.5. Over the nearly 30 years he experienced many changes, not only' in the management and many different cowork- ers,•but also in the work itself. Lumber came by rail cars and was all unloaded by ,hand •st the advent of the fork lift,and truck delivery was a big change. One of his biggest challenges was switching to the use of the -co'rnputer. in the office. Following dinner, Gary Jamieson presented a gift from the present staff to show their appre- ciation for Austin's con- tributions through the year. Joy and Don Dennis' invited everyone back to their home for a further time of fellowship and reminiscing. • "The economical alternative to major kitchen renovations Tired of the worn-out and dated look of your kitchen but comfortable with the existing layout?
