As it made its way onto the path, the sloped land and wet ground cause the load to slip and the movers had to jack it up and try again. With extra pull from Wattam's Construction the house finally made it to its final stop. THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 30,1992. PAGE 13. Societal changes discussed at U.C.W.

Marjorie McDougall thanked Mrs. Walker. Lillian Hallam then spoke on the London Rally at Siloam United Church which she attended. The speaker spoke on the way different people pray, some need music, others Bible Study, some knowledge and others the scent of flowers or the song of winds bring them closer to their master.

Buying Or Selling A Used Vehicle? Here’s What \bu Must Know. Starting October 1,1992, the Ontario retail sales tax you pay when you privately buy a used car, van or light truck, will be based on the purchase price or the average wholesale value, whichever is more. The average wholesale value is set using the Canadian Red Book, a well-known standard in the used vehicle business. The tax is paid when you change the vehicle ownership at your local Driver and Vehicle Licence Issuing Office. Some changes in ownership, such as gifts between certain family members, are tax-free with legal proof. Starting April 1,1993, if you want to sell your vehicle privately, you will have to buy a vehicle transfer package and give it to the buyer before the sale is completed. The package will be available at all Driver and Vehicle Licence Issuing Offices and from the Ministry of Consumer and Commercial Relations. Consumers will benefit from information on the vehicle’s history, outstanding debts on the vehicle and retail sales tax. If you’re planning to buy or sell a used vehicle privately and would like more information, call 1-800-263-7965 Telephone Device for the Deaf, call 1-800-263-7776. ©Ontario Used Vehicle Information Program Pour toute demande de renseignements en fran^ais, composer le 1-800-668-5821.
