We would like to inform your readers that we will soon be marking the 100th anniversary of Canada's last rebellion. and we need their help. In 1885, Louis Riel and his Metis and Indian sup- porters arose on the Saskatchewan prairies, protesting their treatment at the hands of the govern- ment. Militia units from On- tario. Quebec and the Maritimes were called up to quell the rebellion. To mark this centennial. the Glenbow Museum in Calgary is organizing a ma- jor exhibition on the rebellion which we plan to circulate across Canada. However. we need the help of anyone whose relatives were involved in the militia at that time who might have souvenirs. parts of uniforms, Indian relics. photographs, letters. or anything relating to the rebellion which might have been brought back. We are also trying to find anything dealing with the militia units themselves - colours. accoutrements, weapons. etc. We are prepared to buy, borrow or accept donations of such items r our exhibi- tion. If you h v anything or can put us i touch with anyone who do s. we would certainly like you to write or phone us collect (403-264- 8300) . The year 1885 was impor- tant in Canadian history. You can help us to com- memorate it. Hugh A. Dempsey Chief Curator. Glenbow Museum, 130-9 Avenue S.E.. Calgary. Alberta.

Huntley CD National President, C.C. 8th A.V.A. ¥ ¥ ¥ Dear Sir: The Lon.don and St. Thomas Real Estate Board has sent the following letter to the Postmaster General, the President of Canada Postal Services and to local Federal M.P.'s. The Board is of the opinion that your readers might like to read the opinion of our 900 member organization and perhaps such readers may wish to express their in- dependent views on this matter. "Canada Post has in- dicated that the cost to mail a letter in Canada will in- crease from 17 cents to 30 cents. It is suggested that this may be the usual political ploy to test public attitude and that if there is no great protest a conclusion is reached that everyone agrees thereto. The London and St. Thomas Read Estate Board wishes to register its protest to this 76ch increase. an in- crease which private enter- prise cannot match. The Board further wishes tostrenuouslyprotest the in- tent to legislate that charges for prik ate enterprise couriers must be higher than Canada Post to protect the inefficiencies of the postal service. This. in the board's opinion. is paramount to price fixing. unfair competi- tion and another move against the tree enterprise system on which this nation is built." Yours very truly, R. C. Annis. President. London and St. Thomas Real Estate Board Mr. Frank Miller Treasurer of Ontario. Preogressive Conservative Party of Ontario Queen's Park, Toronto. Ontario. Dear Sir: I am employed as a professional automobile salesman for Hensall Motors Ltd.. Hensall. Ont. To -day the provincial sales tax of 7°h has been removed from the sale of 1981 new cars and trucks, as you know. Do you really believe this will stimulate business? Put people back to work? Whatever? It is a start in the right direction but only a start. My employer has in his in- ventory $400.000.00 - $450,- 000.00 of new 1982 Mercury cars and trucks. (yes we still have a number of 81's too, but very few). Interest on this amount of inventory is about $275.00 per day $8250.00 per month $99000.00 per year. We need to move these cars and trucks as much as the 81's. Then the used sales have been very spotty. I think if the Government wants to get things going, then roll the tax off all cars and trucks. new and used for 30 days. Then you might see some reactions. If we sell some 82's along with a good 81 clean up. then the dealer might feel like ordering some more new cars which might get the ball rolling and keep the plants open and building. These are some of my feelings. Do some more checking around before more dealers fold up shop. Don't wait too long. Take a long look at this killer in- terest situation . I sincerely hope you can do something. Ed Hearn Salesman C.C. Jack Riddell C.C. William Davis C.C. Murray Cardiff Did you know that refrigerators sell very well to Eskimos? They use them to keep food from freezing in the winter. i GREAT VALUES Effective Wed., Nov. 11 to Sun., Nov. 15 or While Supplies Last Catelti • MACARONI & CHEESE DINNER Sugg.
